But getting things done as a teenager isn't as easy he would have thought. Before he can even get settled into his new life everything starts to fall apart.

Mrs. Avery by RejectedConcepts

Love is strange. It exists in many forms and is one of the key components that makes humans happy, but there isn't a lot of understanding surrounding it. At least not the kind of understanding with which the average person identifies. Agnes is one of the few people that can accept all kinds of love. Despite her dated name, she is a woman in her late 20's dealing with the death of most of her family. She's now stuck in the middle of figuring out how to raise children that she never saw in her future and deciding what love means for her, when it has to exist within layer upon layer of complication. She let go of her boyfriend after almost a decade because their love wasn't meant to exist under the strain of children, only to find herself confronted with the overpowering connection of her old high school sweetheart. The same man she ran away from because their values hardly aligned when it came to how love should be expressed long term. Within the midst of learning how to raise children and balance her ever-building career, Agnes tries to recover from her mother's death, seek comfort without complicating her circumstance, and figure out why her mother would name her Agnes. Finding real comfort starts to feel impossible, as her most available options are her ex-boyfriend and her assistant. Completed! Rejected 6 times** "This one just isn't for us." By far the most plain rejection I have ever received and I can respect it. 1/22/2022 - 1K 9/28/2022 - 10K

A Long Path Ahead Of Us by XOXO_LtlSunFlwr

Never in her wildest dreams, she would have thought that her past trauma would greatly affect her life. Annie... Annie... Those words were like needles to her ears... Like it was a direct call from hell. She couldn't help but break down. Her eyes welled up every time she heard that name. "It's okay." He said. He wanted to make her overcome her trauma, her nightmare. He just wanted to see her being happy and cheerful like she had done... Always. "We have a long path ahead of us." He spoke again. "What path?" Annabella snapped at him. "You're just a mere teenager, aren't you?" The boy's mouth started twitching. "Of course not. Don't underestimate me." "Then tell me... Who are you?" "It's better to know less. The more you know, the more you get into trouble. I don't want that, Big Sister." Ewww... Big sister? Here the story starts... Annabella Zoey Parker was a girl who loved the concept called, 'Single Forever.' She never wanted to get married not because she didn't believe in love or because she got betrayed by her ex-boyfriend. In fact, she didn't even have a boyfriend. It was NOT because she wasn't attractive enough. She was actually a beautiful girl. The thing was, she loved being alone and doing her work peacefully without no one there to meddle in her business. However, her parents especially her mother didn't understand that. She wanted to get her daughter married as soon as possible. "You have to marry soon. You are almost 26. How long do you want to stay single? Until you turn 30s or 40s?!" Annabella took a deep breath before turning towards her mother with a serious face. "Okay, I'll get married." Mrs Parker's eyes lit up instantly. "Really?" She asked with a wide smile on her face. "Yeah, but on one condition. You should wait till next year." Annabella stated. Mrs Parker was confused. "But why?" "Because he's still seventeen. He'll become an adult next year so we can get married right away." Mrs Parker: "..."

Tormented since birth and trained to be a rage-induced killing machine, Nickolai is fuelled by anger. Being as persistent as he is, it doesn't take Nickolai long to realize that he is being used-that everything he's ever known is a lie.

The New Generation by EriAeternum

"Our entire lives led us to this moment, only for us to lose in the end. We aren't a team, a family, we never were. We are just a bunch of puzzle pieces that were forced together but don't really fit." When it was all said and done, they all agreed, they were never meant to win. They watched as the world around them burned, a world they fought so hard to protect. In the distance, a tall figure stood with pride watching his chaos morph into victory, there was nothing left for him to do but watch his enemies perish in the flames. . . ---------- It's the fight they have all waited for their entire lives. The New Generation is ready to defend their family, their friends, and their world from Itri who will all but destroy it if he gets the chance. They know their parent's stories were the start of a battle, but they are here to win the war, as one, as a team. They are meant to work together to defeat their enemy. Ten people united by the most unlikely circumstances, five daughters whose futures are predetermined, and only one chance to make things right. It won't be easy, they must make allies, face new enemies, rely on one another and try not to die in the process, but when new truths come to light, a divide is placed between them as their trust for each other falls apart. Friends become enemies, one team becomes two sides and their enemy only gets stronger in the process. Once upon a time, they thought they can do anything together, but how do you change a future that has already been seen? How can you rely on someone you no longer trust? How will you save an entire universe if you can't even save yourself? You can't hope to win if you're already destined to lose. . . but then again, you can't win at all unless hope is present and that's what matters most. ********** An Aeterian Story- Final Book

Human Exposure by darkdreamcatcherstu

This is an unusual story to tell and I will tell it. This is not an average space saga, it is not anything you've ever heard before either nor is it a story that you'e read before or anything that would sound familiar. So let me begin right at the beginning. In the beginning of the universe there was nothing. Moments after the big bang, dark matter and dark energy came to be. Stars, gases and planets and so on. Now to set the stage. Dark Matter and Dark Energy are really just forces of the universe. Dark energy pushing galaxies into the universe expanding and dark matter keeping all the galaxies tied up together. But in the story things will turn out differently. Let me not spoil the story, maybe it's not such a good idea to start at the beginning, but let's start at a place where we are all familiar with. A place called home. Located in the Milky Way galaxy we have a tiny little solar system and in this solar system we have a planet called earth. As far as you and I know we are the only intellectual, intelligent and sentient beings in this universe. So we will begin at 'a' beginning where it all started with someone else's life; John Cohan. This individual has no idea what he will be walking into, a new life new beginnings and an end to and an old life.

I get closer this time. Now I'm directly in his face screaming at him. "WILL YOU FUCKING AN- mmfp." I was suddenly cut off by his lips on mine. He pushed his tongue into my mouth, exploring every inch like he's starving. He lets me go and I have to gasp in order to catch my breath. I already know my face is flushed and red. "Are you done princess?" He asked in his dark gravely tone. Dammit if he doesn't stop with this princess thing I think I may fall in love. "Yes, now what the fuck was that for?" I took a step back, so he doesn't decide to just kiss me again. I can't do that again. I am almost one hundred percent sure my panties are soaked. "You were talking too much." Then he just walked away. God he's such an asshole! ~*~ Clara is stuck in this hell hole of a place because of the fact that her parents are blackmailing her to stay. Will she be able to find love here with a certain Kylo Miller or will she push him away because she's scared of being hurt again? I guess we'll find out together. ~*~ THIS BOOK WILL CONTAIN: Mature language Mature themes Explicit sexual scenes Mentions of death Mentions of Eating disorders

The Last Guardians : The Blood Of The Archibald by Hightower07

Meet Patrick Archibald, an engineering scientist who will revolutionize the intergalactic energy industry. Follow Lucian on his personal quest from his paradise island of the Twins to the distant lands of the planet Hateya to meet his destiny.

You are invited to embark on this journey with us in an epic that mixes introspection and adventure; between intergalactic plots and mysticism. A family saga "The Blood Of Archibald", which would not deny the "naturalistic" inspirations of the venerable Émile Zola, guides us in a human world connected to alien worlds. Yet the stories are really rooted in the earth and in a form of mythical reality.
