She hid the beast behind the beauty, she hid the malice behind innocence. She hid the red behind the blue.
She hid scars behind the smile, she hid the tears behind a glare. She hid the pieces behind the whole, she hid a mother behind a murderer.

'Nothing is permanent, life is unpredictable and pain is inevitable.'
Maya learned it the hard way. A very cruel way for continuously twenty-five years of her life.
But with hardship comes ease.

Loves a Fight
What would you do if your life turned to complete and utter shit after just one day? Would you breakdown and pray someone held you together? What if the person you thought would hold you together shatters your already broken heart? What then... Noel is a girl who hides behind a stone cold face. She shows little emotion because it makes her weak. She feels like the world is out to destroy her and the only way to prevent that is to shutdown completely. She fights for a living and races for fun. The adrenaline is the only thing that reminds her of what it's like to still be alive inside... Now let's look at Kain. A kid who grew up too fast. He was once a bundle of joy and adventure, but when tragedy struck he decided it was time to grow up and that happiness was just not meant for him. He runs a gang in the town Noel just recently moved into. Even with the smallest of glances he created great fear. Noel just so happens to run into Kain one day at highschool. What happens if she fights back against him? Will it be love at first sight, or will there be a fight? ******Disclaimer!?!****** I wrote this book a few years ago when I was going through some shit. Yeah some of the time frames jump around and make no sense, but I honestly don't care. If you don't like it then read something else.Complete
