Or will he be the cause of her destruction? ---------------------------- ~Noah's pov~ 'These,' I slowly run my finger across one of her scars, 'are fucking beautiful.' Before she can object, I carry on. 'Maya you are beautiful beyond perfection. You are strong. You are brave. You are funny. You are sweet. You are incredible. Look at yourself,' I nod down towards the scars on her arm and she slowly glances down at them before meeting my gaze again, 'those scars are beautiful. Do you know why?' I ask her. She wipes a tear from her already tear-stricken face before she shakes her head. 'Because every time you decided to do that to yourself, you didn't go further, you didn't end your life. You decided to carry on living even when you thought you couldn't manage it. Those scars right there,' I gesture to them again, 'show the battles you won against yourself. They are your battle-scars and you shouldn't be ashamed of them. And you know what? I am so proud of you for making it to where you are today because you are a fighter and If I can see that, anyone can.'

I'm suddenly grabbed by the back of my hoodie and pulled up from the ground and out of the mess of the opened bottles of fizzy which had exploded when the trolley and I crashed into them. My hands instantly go to my hood and I sigh in relief to find that it hadn't fallen off through all of that. I turn my head and look the the employee who's holding me, his face completely red and the vein in his neck throbbing. "Wassup, dude?"

Cancer Ain't Gonna Stop Me by yurilovergirl22

[FAST PACED] [Note:this book may contain errors. So, please bare with me..] ~~~ Ava Rawlins is a 20 years old woman, who just recently got diagnosed with cancer. It sort of runs in the family, in a way. Her grandpapi died of cancer 10 years ago and it was a hard time for her whole family, because he was such an free spirited man and was always smiling through it all. She wished that she was as strong as her grandpapi, with her being transferred from hospital to hospital, because her parents wanted to get her the best medical help possible. When she feared for the worst and all was lost, she met Rivera Douglas, which was her doctor at Newtons Hospital, where her parents decided that it should be her permanent one, seeing how they liked what they saw and everyone was just good there, and the atmosphere wasn't all that dull, it was always lively, despite it being a hospital at all. Rivera Douglas is a 30 years old women, who has been divorced for 3 years now. She wasn't in a rush to get into any kind of relationship and was basically in a relationship with her job, so to speak. She loves what she does and helps her patients take their mind off of the darker things, especially Ava. She would always make Ava feel some type of way without her knowing it and it always made Ava feel like she wasn't even sick at all, which is why Ava had a secret crush on her, hating the fact that it won't last that long... What do you think will happen in this complicated love story? Will it have a happy ending or not..? We just gotta wait and see.

The Moments by xxmarley413

Jordan Wills wants to die. It's a desire so strong that it seems impossible to ignore. It can't be pushed down or blocked out. The only thing that can distract him is fear. He lives to be afraid. The exhilaration of haunted houses, roller coasters, near death experiences, anything that makes one's heart race, but most of all heights. He wants to know what life is like at the top of the world, at the peak of everything. He's spent his whole life certain that nothing can save him from himself, but then. There's always a 'but then'. Madelyn Sheen is dying. Terminal illness is an endless battle that she fights valiantly each day. She wants to survive and live a long, normal life. She dreams of a picket fence house and a family. The only thing keeping her sane as her life slips out of her grasp is routine and order. Everything has a place and purpose. Everyday is scheduled down to the smallest detail. Nothing changes. It's like she put her life on hold until she gets better, but then. There's always a 'but then'. When two teenagers of opposite interests and goals become intertwined, they find that they balance each other out. Together they make a plan to take the other's advice and learn to live the right way before they lose the chance forever. They soon come to find that maybe life isn't as limited as they had previously believed.
