Once a happy person turned timid and reclusive, a 27 year old Tyler Benington tried to live a normal life after his marriage crumbled with the death of his husband, by his own hands. Although, he had a solid reason for it which was to save his own life. When he thought he was getting better, the four walls of his heart struck by a green eyed man, Kyle Parker, and his deep ocean eyed daughter, Maya Parker.

Kyle Parker, a 29 year old widower who lost his wife from the complications of childbirth five years ago, lives his normal life with his daughter, Maya. An all time landscaper, but also a flower seller in the farmer's market on Sunday. One fateful day, a middle aged woman bought a bouquet of marigolds and also hired him for a landscaping job. Little did he know he would stumbled into an unexpected twist of fate after accepting the job offer.

The journey of discovering new things and new feelings wasn't all beautiful, but both of them persevered. When things finally seemed perfect and in places, another storm came, testing both of them once again. Can both of them get past this problem like how they used to? Or will the pillars crack and finally crumble down into dust?

One of them battling with despair while the other with grief. Brought together by the power of courage to move on when the time came.

"A marigold for you." - Kyle

"If I risk it all, could you break my fall? How do I live? How do I breathe? When your not here i'm sufficated. I wanna feel love, run through my blood. Tell me is this where I give it all up? For you, I have to risk it all, Cuz the Writing's on the Walls." This is a story about a boy and a girl. She loves him, and he want's her dead. But he vowed to keep her safe..But how can he keep such a dangerous vow? *EXCERPT FROM BOOK BELOW* "Our story is like the movies. The movies with the happy endings?" I yelled as he got out of the car. "No! Our ending is nothing like those movies Vana. Our story is the both of us risking it all and then ending up right next to Kyle." He said and sighed. And he was right. Our ending is that one fucked up movie that no on wants to go see. "SO YOU AREN'T WILLING TO RISK IT ALL!?! I yelled louder as the rain came pouring down. He turned on his heal and stomped twords me pulling me close to him leaveing no space between us. His lips came crashing down on mine making the butterflies in my stomach errupt with pleaseure. He pulled away and sighed as did I. He grabbed my hand and ran his thumb over the knuckle of my thumb over my tattoo thanks to his stupid game of dare or dare. "Look at the perspective of things Vana. You might see a smily face but I don't. I see a sad face. You don't want my happy ending. Trust me." He said and sighed again. "I love you so much Vana." He said and kissed the top of my head and then walked back over to his house. But he didn't really love me. If he did he would be willing to risk it all just like I am. But I am left just like Kyle had suspected. Alone and heart broken in the rain. Because I was always the one willing to risk it all. For him.
Bleeding Until Flowers Bloom by checkmate_uwu
5 parts Ongoing Mature
The world of, "Bleeding Until Flowers Bloom" takes place in New York, USA. All places, events, and characters have no relation, however, to reality. Any similarities between the book and the real world is purely coincidental, and has no further ulterior meanings behind it. All places mention in the book is fake, and all events mentioned is fiction. Florian Orion, a male, 18 year old poetry enthusiast is in his final year in Serendipity High School. He's been gay his whole life, but living in the judgmental urban city of New York City has forced him to keep his sexuality to himself. Azalea Qivanna, also a male besides having a more feminine name, is almost a duplicate of Florian. Same age, same interests, even the same secret sexuality. However, what sets him apart from Florian, is that he has a reputation to keep. Serendipity High School is a prestigious high school that revolves around reputation and titles. Few have entered through just intelligence, among the few is Florian. Graduating from Serendipity is a key factor in order to enroll for an even more prestigious university, Eden's Garden University. What's even more nail biting is that the university will only take 30 students out of the 4,000+ graduates of Serendipity. As Florian begins his journey through the final year of Serendipity, he slowly realizes that his lack of reputation will maim him in the journey of getting into the college. The students fight dirty with money, status, and everything else you can name. This isn't your ordinary love story, this is a story of betrayal, twists, and events that will make you unsure of everything you have read up until then is even true. TRIGGER WARNING: Homophobia, graphic descriptions, unconsensual "love", and some explicit scenes depending on what's your definition of them. To put it simply, this is NOT for the faint of heart. FYI: Please comment any critique or thoughts as it makes me feel validated and seen! Thanks for reading <3

*TW* Contains topics and scenes of sexual assault, self-harm, abuse.* "You know you loved every second of it," I can feel the tears welling up as well as the anger building up within me. I stare at him for a while before I have to turn away from his hungry gaze. "Look I just came here to tell you that I forgive you for what you did back in Cali and I'll take you back," "You forgive me?" I yell. "I did nothing to you. You raped me! You fucking raped me! You have no right to come here and tell me that. You. Forgive. Me. You traumatized me. What you did to me tore me up inside and was eating away at me until I tried to kill myself. And when I told people they didn't believe me. I had to listen to so many people talk about how great a guy you were and how I clearly just regretted sleeping with you. You are a monster. You made me hate myself for something that was never my fault. You have caused me so much pain and suffering," I pause to take a deep breath. "So you don't get to come here to my school and tell me you forgive me. You don't get to make me feel bad about coming forward. The only thing I regret is ever thinking you were a good person." _____________________________________________ Logan Young is a 16-year-old girl about to start her senior year in a brand new town.
