Evelyn is okay. She's at the top of her class, a Wattpad writer, and a rising star on YouTube. 

She's also a liar. Her parents fight all the time, but she tells her friends everything is fine. She lies to herself about the guy at school.  On the night her life changed forever, she told herself what was probably her biggest lie ever: I'm okay.

The truth is, she's not. Things are falling apart and beginning to come out. She's barely keeping it together. Can she make it through when her lies begin to catch up to her?

SATONI by marshaofficial

Book #1 in the (Tainted IV Series) "You have been lying to me." It was dark in the house; I could see him sitting on the couch. "What are you talking." "Don't do this, Athena. Don't play with me right now." He cut me off before I could continue. Damn he found out. How was I supposed to get myself out of this mess? The married life is going great and Athena couldn't be happier. She is busy raising her son with her husband. Things are perfect...until they start having disagreements. Satoni seems irritated and can sometimes take the argument too far. She knows that something is going on, but she can't seem to put her finger on it. She tries to ask him questions, but he avoids answering her every time. Whatever Satoni has going on behind her back, he is keeping it a secret. She wants to be angry at him, but she can't because she has a secret of her own that she is trying to keep from him. They made vows that they promised they wouldn't break, but can their marriage last when their secrets can destroy everything they built together?

Fix Me, I'm Broken by Ana11e1y

Walking into an empty house is normal to me. I guess I got tired of saying 'I'm home' when nobody is home to reply. It wasn't always like this. I remember when our family was close. Now we don't see each other any more. We don't talk to each other. We don't eat with each other. We don't ACKNOWLEDGE each other. This all happened after my 'Mother' killed herself. My father blames me. This is my story about how I learned to not count on anyone else but myself. I'm broken. I'm used. No one can fix me. But when the New Boy in town tries to fix me, everything will change. Good change or Bad change, I don't know. Only time will tell. I want to enter this story in the #Wattys2015 please help me out and vote and comment on my story. I'll really appreciate it!!! #Wattys2015 COPYRIGHTED Â© 2014 BY Anallely ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Â®

My Double Life by RealityCheck101

"-what’s your name?" My heart stopped. I shouldn't tell him my real name, because then he’ll want to know where I live and then what if he wants to meet up with me and take me into his white van?! I have to admit I'm scared, nervous, unsure. What about all those times you learned from your parents and teachers not to talk to strangers or give out any information? So this my friends is where I lied to the first boy I talked to- talk to anyone- on iPage... Me: Trinity. My name is Trinity. That was the first lie... **** Hi, I'm Ally Jenson, here's what I learned about being someone you're not. The thing is, loving someone online is different than what it is in the real world. So here's what you get when you pretend to be someone you're not, caught in a web of lies, and maybe, possibly, fall in love online with a great guy. You get Ally. Or Trinity... Ally? Not only that but what happens when you meet the guy one day? What do you do now? Lie again, or tell the truth? It's a decision Ally is going to have to make when she meets Nick Landon. (Not a Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus story! Of any shape or form!) *Short Story*

White Lies (Book 1) by help-me-think-of-one

Jesabel is a liar. When her only friend mysteriously disappears, she does what comes naturally. She keeps her truth from the world. Without warning, she is thrown into a web of lies far more dangerous and lethal than anything she could imagine. With an annoyingly charming boy by her side, can she unravel what she refuses to tell - the truth? WHITE LIES HAS BEEN REVISED, EDITED AND REWORKED! Happy late new year, friends! I'd like to take this opportunity to announce that White Lies, a story that has been up and running on Wattpad since 2011, has been re-written and revised for the coming decade. What does this mean? This entails the same characters you know and love, with better flow, better writing, more nuanced character development, more mature content, and entirely different plot lines. Jesabel's character has changed drastically since I last introduced her to the world (nearly NINE years ago! yikes!), and I wanted to make this story a more nuanced and modern take. When I had written White Lies, I had been just 14 years old. And I've done a ton of growing, learning, and unlearning over the years. This means that my characters have grown and developed with me. If you are an old friend and re-reader - welcome, and please enjoy the same old story you love with a brand new take! If you have started along this White Lies journey beginning in December and all throughout January, you might have read a half-edited and half-original version of the story. So please feel free to re-read at your leisure! I won't bite, I promise.

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
