Is she only fooling herself to believe that even the most damaged people, ultimately receive happy endings?
I suppose time will tell... after all, she's got plenty of that on her hands.

-*| The Cursed World |*-
Just smile. Just smile, and forget it all. Just smile, and it won't hurt. *~* A world, full of hate. A world, full of racism. A world, full of sexism. This is the world Hebe lives in. This is the world Hebe has tried to make herself believe is full of good. Yet, every aspect of her life undermines this. Every day would show an outsider how twisted her world is. How cursed her world is. From family, to friends, to lovers, can she truly trust anyone? Any of them? From having grown up in a world so pressured down on one's gender and race, is there truly any hope for her? Is hiding from all of the pain; all of the abuse, really the only solution? Yes, that is the right answer. To build a wall up, to stay naive, and to hide from it all. That is her only way to stay joyful. That is her only way to remain... Sane. -- A/N: ⁃ Rated mature ⁃ Would not recommend for young children ⁃ Even though this book has been prewritten from only three months before now (May), my style of writing has changed and this version is a bit rusty ⁃ Updates every (*time*)Complete

Trust Me On This (Liam Payne)
(Completed) Avery was 'that' girl. The one that no one really noticed, or cared to. Her life was spent on the sidelines, just watching everything go by. She didn't live, she existed. Everything changes when she meets Liam Payne, the celebrity. At first glance he's infatuated with her. As fate brings them closer together, she starts to come out of her shell. For the first time in a while, Avery's happy. Not simply persisting, not only qualified to be a human only because she breathes. She's happy. And so is he. But when a ghost from Avery's past comes back to haunt her, everything changes. To get through it, Avery has to learn to do the thing she fears most in the world. She has to learn to trust. I own everything. Don't be the asshole that takes my story, no one likes that. All my characters are fictional. I don't know 1d (and you probably don't either) so nothing in this should be taken literally. Although if it is sort of close to their real personalities that'd be fucking awesome, I mean Liam should totally read Game of Thrones. Playlist for this story is available on Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/user/michaelaa742/playlist/3tpeDmQgHOqDbkKlje1Qhi) or you can look up michaelaa742 and the playlist is titled Trust Me on This Beautiful cover by @thatkid_cynthia!Complete

Hoping not to snap. But even on the calmest days, something always finds a way to go wrong. She's tired of hurting the people she loves-especially the two boys who've stood by her through every meltdown and mess. They see the girl behind the fire, even when she doesn't. This is Marcella's story ,raw, unfiltered, and painfully human. It's about learning to face the past, to accept help, and to believe just maybe that she's more than the anger she's carried for so long.
