broken
[ˈbrōkən]
VERB
having been fractured or damaged and no longer in one piece or in working order.
(of a person) having given up all hope; despairing.
What does it mean to be broken? Think about how it truly feels to be broken. Very few people can say that they know what being broken feels like. It's not something that you want to reveal to people because they see you differently.
Ryder Daniels is one of the few people in this world that knows exactly what broken feels like. To most people he is known as the only bad boy in his town. To himself he's just broken. Once he broke people started leaving him and only a handful of people stayed to put him back together and make him feel whole again.
Once they realized what a challenge it was, they left too.
He decided then and there that he wasn't going to let anybody else in. He cut off all of his emotions and the only emotion he shows now is anger.
Julianna Miller is also one of the few people that knows what broken feels like and she doesn't want to feel like that again. An incident in her past left her broken and shattered to pieces. With the help of people around her, she healed. Now all she wants to do is help others heal.
Once Ryder and Julianna have a run in with each other, things start to change. Will Julianna be able to help Ryder and put his broken pieces back together? Will she realize the challenge at hand and leave like the others? Or will Ryder push her away before she gets the chance help?

"You have more fun when you're insane." Ryder Blittern is your 'typical' bad boy. He's been in trouble with his parents, the cops, taken more drugs than a teenage boy should be able to get his hands on, and has been on the 'inside'. Now, he's aiming for a fresh start with his Dad, no illegal- or even legal- substances on him. He's clean, and that's what makes him a little crazy. The town they've chosen looks to be a gloomy town. That is, until Ryder comes across Ivy Winsor. She's into mixing cocktails into waffles, crazy stunts performed in department stores and leading a group of other misfits with illegal hobbies. They're the ones considered insane. But when you throw them all together you get the literal meaning of insanity. People try to 'help' people, plans are turned sour, injuries are sustained and nobody comes out thinking even the slightest bit of sane thoughts. So come along for the ride, become a little insane.

You, Always
"You hurt me," A tear rolls down my cheek. "You hurt me a lot." My voice breaks once again and the pain, the aching pain in my chest, returns stronger than ever. He reaches forward and cups my cheek. I do what I know I shouldn't, I lean into his touch. But it's what I crave. Him. His hand against my skin. "I know baby, I know. And I'm so sorry about that." He wipes the tears off my face and I look at him once again. •••• Andie Mitchell, a grieving seventeen-year-old, moves towns after recently losing her mother.

The Art of Breaking Hearts ✓
[Highest Rank; #3 in Humor 3/27/17] --- I was unable to keep myself from blushing. "I'm not his girlfriend." "Yet." Ryder and Benjamin said simultaneously. "Oh, so the conceitedness runs in the family?" I asked with a roll of my eyes. "I'm afraid so. Now, tell me more about yourself." "Well, I like playing soccer a lot. And if I were to choose between my books and human beings, then I choose books. Also, I think your brother is annoying and has too big of an ego. But wanna know something?" He nodded. I stopped the car at the traffic light and turned back to him. Leaning into his ear, I whispered loud enough for Ryder to hear, "I think I like him." --- The art of breaking hearts is an inscrutable, prepossessing, abstract art. Never ever will you go through with breaking someone's heart without having your own broken. And it would be very eccentric if one did not go through the process of having their own heart shattered into millions of pieces when trying to do the same to another. Unfortunately, I learned that the hard way. --- [extended description inside] Copyright ©2016 sadreadingchick All rights reserved.Complete

**Featured in the Wattpad humor profile** "The ones who laugh the most, are also the ones who cry the most." No one will laugh with the pimply, overweight girl. They'll laugh at her.

But her monotone life of pretending.to be the cliche best friend is interrupted when Ryder Woods - the epitome of delinquency and mystery - comes back to town. Paired up with his leather jackets and so-vile-Kanye-West-will-get-a-run-for-his-money curses, Lisa thinks Ryder to be the ideal partner for her good girl best friend. Real life bad boy and good girl couple? Set up by her? That's like her dream come true! But she soon realizes that there's more to Ryder than swearing and leather. He's not the typical bad boy she knows from Wattpad books and the monsters he's hiding in his closet are actually scarier than Lisa's matchmaking plans. Beautiful cover made by @sereneurComplete

You might just see a side of her that she's so expertly great at keeping at bay. But how long? How long will it take for her true self to finally burst free? 🔱🔱🔱 Eros Huxley is broken. To a point where he cant be put back together, to a point where he couldn't care less about anything. He's been the boy your parents warned you to never play with, the boy who never smiles, the boy covered in bruises and the boy who always looks down. The black sheep of not just his family, but of a whole town. All these before he was even 12 years old. What about when he gets older? 🔱🔱🔱 With every light, there is a darkness, waiting for its moment to come. With every right, there is a wrong. With every joy, there is a sorrow. Nothing can truly be itself, without having an opposite side to it. One cannot exist without the other. With sadness always watching from the corner, growing and growing, bigger and stronger, for its moment to arrive; to surface. No one is ever truly free from it. ©Complete
