Sixteen year old "Love" goes through a series of traumatic events, and it has very negative effects on her, as it would anyone. Her personality changes, she has a hard time with friends, and her self image. "Grayson", a boy who seems to want to know more about her and her past, weasels his way in. It shocks Love, as she has closed off most people. Will her secret eat away at her or will she learn to overcome it? Will she let love in or close it off? Will she run away or stay and fight?
TW: may or may not includes: suicide, suicide attempts, alcohol, sex, language, and (sexual assault etc).
This is my first story and I hope you enjoy it as much as I love writing.
The age is 13-18 but I advise a mature audience.
I hope the cover art isn't too bad as this is my first time making one.

That's enough - Birdflash
That story is about Kid Flash and Robin in Teen Titans not in Young Justice where they are best friends. The Titans weren't nice to Robin always doing pranks which weren't always nice. One day, they crossed the line, doing a prank about Robin's dead parents. It made him mad, breaking his heart. Bringing Robin's past in a stupid joke for April's Fool wasn't funny it was just mean. Robin started to avoid his teammates, staying in his room when there wasn't any mission and fighting alone when a villain was attacking Jump City. One day, Kid Flash, Robin's biggest rival, decided to pay the Titans a visit. He wanted to upset Robin and believe me, stealing his team was the best way to achieve his goal. Will Robin be upset by Kid Flash's visit or will he give up his team and let his rival be the new leader?

Complicated love (under editing)
Right at that point, I was seeing a boy. He was 18 years old. Three years older than me. His name was Damian. We had been together for almost two years and I have hated every second of it, but I couldn't just break up with him, he was son of my parents' really good friends. He did never treat me right, on a good day he would only hit me... That was only if I was really lucky. I couldn't tell my parents how he treated me, 'cause they probably wouldn't believe me. He always treated me like a princess when we were around my parents. I wanted to find love. I wanted to get away from Damian, but how? Follow Katie around and see if she succeeds. Do you think she will?Complete
