Mila
It was hard living in the slums. Everyday, people thrived on scraps, dirty water and very little money. Children were exposed to practically every disease imaginable yet still managed to survive. Girls who reached puberty were often married off early to ease their family's burden while young boys were forced to do labor. In the midst of all these hardships lived a girl. She was an innocent in body but her mind had known too much filth. She knew she had to be selfish in order to get away from this life. If it meant whoring herself to a man older by ages, then she would do whatever it takes.Complete

What happens in Victorian London when you are a young lady and you suddenly find yourself without a mother and with a father who refuses to see what was in front of him. Also this is a strange and accidental mix of ITV's Victoria and Hamilton (the musical). I'm not entirely sure how it happened but it did. Rated mature because I am paranoid.Complete

Tomorrow's Blues
~"You don't- you don't need me." I stared in shock. This was the first shred of emotion he'd shown since he started avoiding me, and I had no idea how to respond. What was I supposed to say to something like that? So I let myself be honest, and I told him exactly how I felt. "But I do." I almost choked on my words. "I do need you. I can't talk to anybody else. I can't eat. I can't sleep. And I know you know what that's like."~ Liliana is now an orphan. Just 17 years old, she lost her parents in a boating accident and now she must live with her best friend, her best friend's parents and her best friend's brother, Joseph. She struggles through her grief as well as dealing with the mysterious but obnoxious Joseph, and it soon comes to light that he isn't the only one around her keeping secrets. Living under the same roof, tensions arise, and Liliana begins to discover that a perfect family may not be so perfect after all."
