A constraint dichotomy of real-life as "playing dead" versus the absolute manic chaos of mentally ill teenagers spiraling together as madness overtakes them both.
Excerpt:
"What're you looking at, Coke Zero?" Eleonora accused from across the street, watching as her words roused the black-haired teen out of his mindless daze. She didn't really care about the answer, and she didn't mind the absent staring.
And he hadn't been staring at her, really. She was a curious object his eyes had landed on, but his mind was on another planet, never on her. He was brought back to earth by her playful statement, and Eleonora watched as his distant expression turned miserable and he muttered, "Bitch," before loudly pouring the plethora of empty soda cans into the recycling bin and slamming the top shut.
A/N: This is, I guess, a Marianas Trench Fanfiction. It's my own story and I'd like to edit it to eventually rewrite it t get published as an original work, but for now, I guess this is a High School AU of sorts for Josh Ramsay and the members of Marianas Trench. Because this is being written with the idea of a novel and not just a fanfiction, It'll probably be close to 15 really long chapters.

"Who are you?" she retorted. "More importantly- why did you try to stop us from leaving? We had the crystal- we could've left, if you hadn't broken the submarine." she sounded furious- and no wonder; she wanted to get back and get the Urbanshade to turn her back to normal before she had her child. He narrowed his eyes at her. "You have no idea what they could've done with that," he scowled. "They would never let you leave. They were trying to use you." "How do you know?" She snapped back. "Because they used me." --- A PRESSURE FANSTORY MADE BY ME AND TWO OF MY OTHER FRIENDS- TEMPEST AND HARPY. Yes, this is an OC x Sebastian, but that is not the sole focus of the plot. --- !!

Taylor Swift and Josh Ramsay-life couldn't be getting much better for the two. They were happily married for nine months, and both at the peaks of their carriers.

The Middle - Volume Two ✔️
#3 - Shocks 27/9/19 "Don't hold back." I whisper, and he brings his face up to look into my eyes. He looks conflicted, but the lust raging inside of him is enough to override the conflict. And in a split second, he snaps his hips forward and I feel my mouth fly open of its own accord. The air leaves my lungs, but I don't care. All I can feel is him, and it's all I want to feel. I tense, adjusting to the sudden feeling of fullness he's given me, and he pauses. He's completely bottomed out inside of me, but he isn't moving. "Fuck, Jamie. I don't wanna hurt you." He groans into my neck, and in response, I snap my own hips up into him, desperately trying to feel what he made me feel the last time we were in a situation like this. "I'm fine. Make me cum." I breathe, and it's enough. My words have the desired effect. He pulls back, before slamming himself back into me. It's hard, and it's fast, and it's exactly what I want. I feel myself clench around him on reflex as my body reacts to what he's doing to me. He groans from the sensation. "I won't last long if you keep that up." He says, before burying himself into me even harder still. "Either will I!" I yell as he continues fucking me. Hot, hard, wet and fast. The best sex I have ever participated in, no question. He slides his hands down so that he's gripping onto my butt cheeks, before elevating me slightly, creating an almost perfect angle while he pumps into me. Jesus! I never knew sex could be this good. I moan and curse and scream his name shamelessly, feeling the build growing stronger and stronger by the second. I'm gonna shatter. Fuck, I'm about to cum... *** The night of the NBU Halloween Dance was very dramatic for Jamie Hawkins, Noah Adams and all their friends... What will happen the morning after? The Middle Volume Two picks up where Volume One left off. Read my story "The Middle" before reading this one, or it will make absolutely zero eff-ing sense.
