Leelah was in a funk. Her family knew it, her friends knew it, even her dogs knew it. How could she not know it herself? She wasn't stupid. She knew why she was in a funk. She knew it wasn't healthy, she knew her family and friends, and even her dogs were worried about her. She knew that she had to get over it and move on. What she didn't know was how. It was like she had stepped out of the lane of the living and was now having trouble getting back into it.
Raiden Feng was in a similar situation. Raised in a family with strict ideas of success, family, and duty, Raiden has worked hard to be at the top of the business world. He is known to be aloof, ruthless, and single minded. His work was his life. Nobody would guess the rediculously rich tycoon was feeling bored with the monotony of his narrow world.
Can two, seemingly VERY different individuals help each other out of the holes they are both stuck in? with so many differences, there are bound to be obstacles and misunderstandings. But maybe they are just what the other needs to return to life.

Love Comes Unexpected ✔
I quickly turned away from him, to get the hell out of the room. But he caught my arm and pulled me back into his chest. Shit. Fuck. He buried his face in my hair, arms enclosing around me and whispered into my ear, ❝I thought things between us were getting better, is this how your gonna lie and ruin it?❞ I could feel him smiling against my ears, his fingers gently raking through my hair. I didn't reply. This is exactly the situation I didn't wanna get into, cause I know I melt when he says shit like that. ❝You gonna give up resisting me now?❞ His lips barely touching my ears.

Billionaire Next Door✔
I shrunk back into my seat as his head snapped towards me. He looked like his head was going to fall off. His eyes were blazing with rage. His face was set into an icy glare. His fists that rested on the table were clenched so hard his knuckles were white. As he stood from his chair so did I. I felt like the prey to the biggest predator in the jungle. I took two steps back for every stride he took towards me. I gulped again before shaking me head. "She's just joking Ace." my voice quivered as I took another two steps back. "How do I know that?" he sneered down at me, his body towering over me. As I went to take another step backwards, my back made contact with the wall behind me. Well great. Now I'm cornered.

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.

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.

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
