"You disappoint me Darlene. Why can't you just be like your brothers?" Was a statement I had heard one too many times from dad. We were a wealthy family and had everything we could ever need at our disposal but none of that gave me satisfaction. It was over dad's dead body that any of his children left promising careers to chase music. That's why dad and I always went from one vendetta to another, because music was my life. Dad didn't trust my judgement on anything. On career choices and even on boys. 
Even though we had everything we could ever need and dad's businesses were doing  fine, dad was a gambler. It didn't take long for him to become a poker addict.
 He went for a poker game one night and everything changed. If only he could have known that one game, just that game would change our entire lives forever.All Rights Reserved

Wildhearts by VickyManalo

Even if I am a billionaire now, mom and I usually talk but dad is still hard on me. He didn't want me living away from home at the age of twenty five, and wasting away my money to some girl or women who only wanted my fame, fortune but not the real me, as what he always say, the last time he talked to me, which was five years ago. But I liked the attention, the fake loves or smiles, but it changed when I swerved my car down an alley and saw a girl walking, swaying like she's drunk or didn't care what happens to her. I almost hit her and shouted pulling down my car window, but she isn't budging. Oh, my God, is she dead or did I hit her? I looked outside and I think it's okay to get out of the dark street.

In Your Company by PrawnLMB

--Re-written-- When I was 8 we were playing hide and seek in the little park surrounded by bush down the street from my house. It was a large group of us. It was always fun down at the park, since our parents never really came and checked on us. Being twins, Taylor and myself had a bigger amount of freedom then the other kids in our grade, so all the parents trusted at if the Norm Twins were going to be somewhere, their kids would be safe, even though we were young. And that was always true. This particular time at the park we were playing hide and seek. It was one of our favorite games to play. Taylor, Rachel and Connor always had the best hiding spots. I loved counting. The suspense. So I was counting. We counted to 90 so everyone could get the optimal spots in the park. The deal was that we never went too far into the bush. The boulder was our guide. I counted to 90, like normal, and then started looking. There were always specific spots that people hid in, so they were my first points to check. Oddly, no one was in any of them. But to my 8 year old self that made the whole thing better. I started looking hard. But didn't find anyone. I started to call out, starting to get worried. But no one called back. --- Danielle Norm, a musician, dancer, and comitted school student, is just looking to get through school in one piece...

SWEET REVENGE by monica23031

The exact words he threw at my face still haunts my dreams every single night and I think I'm starting to believe him. "Wish I've never met you I was so young and stupid, no wonder no one wanted to be with you, you are just holding me down and I honestly just got bored, needed a new chapter in my life that was the main reason I did what I had to do to keep myself happy. I just don't want to lie to myself anymore. I can't do this. I need to be free for once in my life. I'm so relieved that I don't have to marry you anymore, it's like a dead weight lifted from my shoulders. JUST LEAVE! GET OUT NOW! '' I just didn't know what to do that day I way so shocked, one minute we were one big happy family and the next he throws everything we build up as a family. I should had been warned by his actions the last month that we spend together. He knew that he was my first for everything and that gave him a push on his ego. Always bragged about being my first and claiming power over the situation. I was blinded by all of his charms and I see that now, I'm so sorry I did not listen Laura, you were just trying to protect me , that's what best friends are for but I chose him and I am truly sorry. I promise I will get a way to show him that I am not just a waste of space and I am going to do it all just for me and my baby girl. **WARNING** Sexual language and mature content Read at own risk ;) https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Monicanaude

Where You Least Expect It by DanielleJones518

I wasn't innocent, not by a long shot. In my 23 years, I've made too many wrong choices to be considered as such. Most notably, Dorian Michaels. Dorian and I met as children, our families grew close through the business they shared. One that we were to inherit as adults. Shit changes, I guess. I was born and raised in the Sunshine State, never having even considered departing the beating sun, grating sand, and crashing waves. Well, not until staying meant I would die at the hands of my best friend. I wish I could say I would do things differently if given the opportunity, but I would be lying.

Together With You by adelwang

Ocean Goldreich is the sister I never had. Or at least, her brothers put that thing in my mind. I tried my best to look at her as my very own sister and it worked... for at least these whole year, until I met her again in Finland and somehow she looked even more perfect than I remember. And finally after all these years I gave in to my lust toward her. We crossed the lines with the promise that we will be back as brother and sister again afterward. Can I do that? The answer is bullshit. How can I look at her as my sister when all I can remember from her is our nights together. But she was so adamant to keep our relationship as best friends slash sister brother. Seriously, Ocean? Drew Roderick, I had a crush on him in all my teenage life. But he broke my heart again and again when he just looked at me as his little sister. And now, when I was over him (or I think I was), he came back to me and acted sweetly intimate romantic and whatever is far from the brotherly attitude. I tried to push him away, but I couldn't because the truth is I want him more than just a brother. Can we cross the line? The line that my brothers put is so thick between us. But, suddenly things in our life changed. Now I'm a mother of a little baby, Charlene. We have Charlene now. I can't let my lust override my brain. I have Char in stake. But why did Drew act like we are really a happy family? We are far from family. Just co-parenting a baby, right? Words {[150.000-200.000]}

Maybe, There is a Happy Ending by melina_strangio

"There were times of hardship when people forget the courage they need to keep fighting; and survive. But I think as long as we have something or someone to believe in, to keep close in our hearts, courage will never truly leave us. We only have to reach deep in our heart to find it." I never thought I was going to escape my abusive parents. I could no longer see that one light at the end of my tunnel. I was trapped, no way to escape. You would never believe that one trip to the New York Hospital could change my life drastically, and not in the way you guys are thinking. Not negatively, but positively. Thanks to my Doctor and his son, I could finally say goodbye to my dark past and say hello to my bright future involving a massive emotion... LOVE. So, Maybe... There is a Happy Ending.

Tangled Limbs (Shannon Leto Fanfiction) by Lonecypress

Music inspires many to persevere, hope, dream, laugh, cry and process a wide variety of emotions. Music was very important to Melissa Campbell, having been the only constant in a tumultuous existence. It was key to her survival--her addiction. Far worse addictions were a hostile presence in her life that ultimately robbed her of a nurturing childhood and a happy marriage. Her perception of love was clouded by the misconception that other people's needs came first and only when she sacrificed herself did she feel worthy of it. Most of her life passed before she broke this cycle, finally finding happiness within herself. Melissa's motivation to change was spurred by one band in particular in more than one way. She followed a path that led her to what she was meant to do all her life--become a writer. Not only did she develop a passion for writing, she fell in love with a handsome bad-boy rock star. Shannon opened up a whole new world, giving her a depth of desire she'd never experienced. He lived in LA and she lived on the opposite side of the country however, making it a challenge to pursue a relationship. The idea of moving to California posed many doubts for her. Were his feelings genuine? Could he be faithful despite his widely acclaimed playboy reputation? Could she adapt to a different lifestyle? What hardships would she face in the public eye if they were a couple? She wanted answers before leaving the only life she'd ever known, but that was far from realistic. If she wanted him, she'd have to risk it all to see how things would unfold.

Consequences by teisha555

Standing in the middle of the road, in the middle of the night, drenched from a slight shower from above, seemed like the best option I had left. With only a flickering street light casting light a metre ahead of me, you would probably think I was crazy. But I wasn't always, I used to be a normal girl, with a future I thought I chose and a life I thought I controlled. But this isn't where the story begins, let me take you back a week and you can see how normal I was. My name is Olivia, I'm 18 years old and I just started my first year at college. I have a younger brother and sister, twins, who are 14 years old and in high school. My parents are 48 and 46 and are highly regarded lawyers. Which means they go on a lot of business trips, leaving me to look after my siblings. Which isn't bad, they're not hard to look after as they're in high school. I have a part time job as a Bartender to help pay for college, my parents thought it would teach me responsibility, as if looking after two teenagers wasn't enough responsibility to begin with. You see, bartending isn't a hard job, but it's not exactly all happy go lucky or rainbows and lollipops either. Sometimes it's really exhausting, you have to deal with rude customers and do the jobs no one else wants to do. That's where this story begins, at work. That's where I met him.....Hunter. I was bent over, on my knees......picking up crap that the previous group of customers had left for me, when he walked up behind me. It wasn't exactly great, or amazing. Though as I soon came to realise, it wasn't the mess Hunter thought was amazing. It was my ass. So come along with me on this outrages ride, through the ups and downs, the laughter and the tears of this crazy journey. After all that's what this thing we call life is, right? For what is life......without consequences.
