‼️RATED MATURE FOR MENTIONS OF ABUSE‼️ "You were my one chance at a normal life..." He was a boy who had taken too much jobs but speaks too little about himself. She was a girl who had wandered too much but left too little hope for her future. Their worlds collide one day when misfortune chases the both of them into a common corner, and from then on, both their fates refused to part ways. But as unfortunate as they both may be, their misfortune might just be what leads them to their luckiest charms. [Tw.: mentions of abuse, neglect, and mental health issues.]

"Been about you, since I met you and imma keep it that way" You're special to me. You're the only one who I wouldn't mind losing sleep for, the only one who I can never get tired of talking to, and the only one who crosses my mind constantly throughout the day. You're the only one who can make me smile without trying, bring down my mood without the intention to and affect my emotions with every action of yours. I can't explain with just words how much you mean to me, but you're the only one I'm afraid of losing and the one I want to keep in my life. So, please don't leave me. ~April 18, 2021 ~July 21, 2021 Rankings: #4 in mentaldisorder 9/16/2021 #6 in highschoolsweethearts 9/16/2021 #38 in urban 9/16/2021 #14 in blacklove 9/16/2021 #5 in angerissues 9/16/2021 #12 in urbanromance 9/16/2021 #3 in bwbm 9/16/2021 #20 in contemporarylit 9/16/2021 #29 in urbanstory 9/16/2021 #2 in africanamerican 9/16/2021

She lay on her bed, blood seeping through her skin, a fractured rib. She knew there would be no doctor, no way for anyone to find out. She knew she would not be saved. From the outside, Isabelle Thompson had the perfect family. A protective brother, a hard-working father and a nurturing mother. Everyone knew who they were, and everyone knew they wouldn't kill a fly. But they had a secret, and big fat juicy one too. Isabelle was always quiet. She never spoke, she always wore dark clothing, and she had no friends. It was easier that way. No one would find out, no one knew her. Until a bright sparkle of Adam Black came fluttering into her life.

Dreams are worth chasing no matter the obstacles in the way. Drew, a middle school student who hopes to entertain people one day, spends his days trapped in the prison on the hill, desperately avoiding those who want to take his dream away. Each day is the same old song and dance in the prison on the hill that some call Cross Lake Park Middle School. Where cliques were born and targets were chosen. Drew is the primary target of a clique of bullies, and every breath he takes is both a blessing and a curse as he desperately tries to climb the social ladder. As his emotional state crumbles and desperation takes hold, Drew yearns for a chance to step into the spotlight and reveal his true potential. Even a single friend who sees beyond his notorious outcast status could bring a glimmer of hope to the challenges he faces in the prison on the hill. Dream Chaser focuses on bullying, self-discovery, acceptance, and overcoming obstacles we sometimes can't control in hopes of finding happiness.

Everyone knows him or..at least they think they do. Underneath all of his layers there's things only him and his family knows. No it's not about his child. He doesn't hide her. She's the only thing he's proud of. Can anybody change his attitude? *language, mature themes, trigger warnings* Started: April 29,2022 Completed: July 22,2022

after falling in a dark place in life Riley reaches a stage of depression and meets a single woman who helps him come out of the dark, they strike an unlikely friendship and he slowly starts falling for her.

In the day-to-day trenches of high school, it is almost the default-setting to believe we are the main character of our own coming-of-age story. This is not wrong. It's just ours isn't the only story there is. The jocks, the nerds, the cheerleaders, the losers, the stoners, the fangirls, the skaters. Everyone's the realest most important person in existence, all of them, at the same time, first-person narrators to their own stories, stumbling into each other's plot lines, defying the status-quo, catalysts to ups and downs. A deconstruction of all the high school tropes and cliches written over the years, a deep-dive into the psyche of students trying to finish high school while going through irrevocable self-discovery, the most improbable of connections, and the insufferable pains of growing up.

At The Edge Of Oblivion by -StrangeTrails-

Highschool can be a place of tremendous growth, of learning. It can also be a place of tremendous misery, of pain. Every action has it's consequence, and every dream in turn has a nightmare. In the small town of Oblivion, both laughter and screams fill the air for young Shawn.
