This book highlights the issues that a lot of people face. Some people may not face all of this but others do. Some people may experience more or worse situations. This book may disturb other readers. I tried to make it as relatable as possible. Not all of this is true but some of it is, I'm not saying what is or what isn't. I hope this book shows some readers that before you begin to judge someone you either dont know or barely know, think about what they may have gone through, think about what they may have to deal with. Your words could hurt more than you think.

Knife's Edge
With a drug lord for a father and an addict for a mother, Jade Taylor was dealt a pretty shabby hand in life. Her childhood was spent in a constant state of fear, her only solace being her two half-sisters -- Charlotte and Bailey -- who were forced to live the nightmare alongside her. But things all changed when their father got sent to prison. Eight new social workers and five foster families later, the girls finally found their home. Now, at eighteen, Jade is counting down the days until her exams are over, excited to spend a stress-free summer with her boyfriend, her two best friends, and her forever family. Unfortunately, things don't always go to plan -- not in a town like Greencliff. Upon meeting the Coleman brothers -- a family that fits so well into the 'gang' culture she so desperately wants to avoid -- Jade finds herself teetering on the edge of a blade, carefully balanced between the life she wants and the life she wants to escape. And when she catches the eye of Lucas Coleman, the eldest of the brothers, it's only a matter of time before she falls. Only one question remains: Which way will she land?

Altered
Have you ever met someone who alters the course of your life? For good or for bad, they've come in, given and taken, and then- BOOM! Your life was never the same. There's always a change, an altering of reality. When you meet those people, the reality that you've known your whole life is suddenly gone and a new one has taken its place. When those moments happen, there's no going back. You can try to return to the way things were but nothing, and I mean nothing, can take you back to exactly how it was. That's what happened to us. I think that's why we're still trying so desperately to get back to some sort of normalcy. Four years later and we're still on the ground, crawling, in search of the happiness that was lost that June. Summers will never be the same. Midnight walks through my neighborhood will never be the same. Field parties with bonfires and loud music will never be the same. I still don't know why you left and what lead you to the decision you made. What I do know is that we're here. We're alive and we're pushing forward to the future. A future that you're not a part of. But in some ways, I'm glad you're not a part of it. I just wish it wasn't like this. *** TRIGGER WARNING*** SA, abuse, suicide, substance abuse, and mental illness. This is a complete story that is much like life; fast, full of surprises, and not always how we want it to be. This has been a project of mine for over three years. It was self-published on Amazon, but after some issues in publication, I decided to just upload it on here. I hope you fall in love with these characters like I have. The friends in this story are trying to make names for themselves, figure out who they are, who they can trust, how to love, and how to separate themselves from a restrictive community. As in any coming of age story, they will experience growing pains... but will they survive them before its too late? PLEASE READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS.Complete

It Wasn't Love ✔️
"Fuck." He whispers into my neck, sending a thrill of excitement through my body. His lips still smothered kisses over my neck and his hands roamed my body, starting at my chest, going down to my stomach. Caressing my soft skin, his thumb trailed circles on my groin before slightly slipping into the waistband of my jeans. My breath catches in my throat as I pull at the hoodie that covered his chiselled body. Understanding, Jacob pulls it off in one swift movement before attaching his lips back on my neck. Sucking and biting it before flicking his tongue over the sore spot. A quiet moan leaves my mouth and I clasp my hand over it, denying any noise to escape.

Behind Every Smile
#315 Non-Fiction-9/27/17 "The loneliest people can be the kindest. The saddest people sometimes smile the brightest. The most damaged people are filled with wisdom. All because they do not wish the pain they've endured on another soul." - Timothy Delvecc Every person has a story. Usually when we look at someone we don't know, we tend not to think about what they could possibly be going through and all the thoughts running through their mind. Our brains tend to make judgments based upon what we see; and everyone knows that's not always a good thing. This is a story-a true story-of how judgment became my worst enemy. Mind you, this is not a happy tale. This is a story of a girl in search for happiness. A girl who has yet to discover herself while journeying down an unpleasant road filled with lies and torturous schemes. Don't let the title of this book deceive you and the picture of the smiling, innocent young woman lead you to believe this will be a book about sunshines and rainbows. What you do not see is the immense pain and anger that hides behind the slight grin. The scars from countless fights that are covered by the thin layer of clothes that nobody will ever see. So think again when you look at this book-because on the inside you'll find the story of the little girl on the cover is not what you'd expect.Complete
