The Confessions of Judas by ElizabethBu

Judas My whole life I was told I conceived from sin and I'll never be nothing more than a bastard that can do nothing more but one thing....Jesus showed me there's more to my life besides being my family's show dog, so I became his guard dog, swore my loyalty to him and only him. But everything changed when he met her....she doesn't belong in our world, her light nature nauseates me and I hate her for taking my place in Jesus's heart. The more I'm with her, the more she plagues my mind every waking day that I'm not even safe in my dreams. She's thinks she's smart thinking Jesus can handle his leash on me. But I'll be the one sending her running away by showing her how rotten I truly am. Miranda I never truly lived before I met Jesus, he flipped my lonely world upright, I owe him everything and I'm even starting to fall in love with him...but him asking me to join his side in his notoriously known dangerous gang in the city? How can I possibly turn him down when he's the leader? He doesn't scare me though....its his second in command A.K.A. his best friend that does. He always looks at me with such hate, he brings out the worst in me and wants to see me run away but I won't give him the satisfaction! But how can I be able to stand him when he's at my side because he's been assigned my bodyguard?!

He was her father, mother, and best friend. He was her everything. Then he was gone. Julia was the closest thing left to her brother. Adreanna's intentions were to just get to know the woman her brother married, look after her on his behalf until she could look after herself again and eventually return home. But life wiped out those plans before they even cemented as the two women, in a time of hurt and grief, seeking closure, companionship and love, formed a bond they didn't even realise was growing until it was too late. Now they're stuck at a crossroads, having to decide between love and ethics. The sequel to Drea is out now. It is called Mrs Jones. You can find it on my profile. <3

The Artist's Perspective by Hollowemka

Emma Gonzalez knows that better than most, though she would hardly admit to the hell she went through.

Though after discovering the arrival of new kids, he believes things might take a turn. He is proven correct when a blond beauty with unique eyes walks in with her brothers and trouble starts to show it's face to the world. After getting tangled in her crazy world full of art, talking food, soccer and horror toilet, he believes he should have sat this one out. Too late now. Hi guys! This is my very first story, so constructive criticism, pointing out grammar errors and tipos is welcomed. English isn't my mother language, so I would appreciate your help. Warning: This book will involve adult content such as mature language, bullying, child abuse and rape. If there is someone reading this who went through the things listed above, I want you to know that you are not alone. You are loved and very strong to continue fighting, and I'm sorry about everything you went and probably still are going through. If you want to talk with a stranger for a different perspective, my chat is always open for you. SLOW UPDATES!
