"I imagined most people could look at the coffee table in their childhood home without feeling the pang in the back of their head from where it had cracked against the corner. I'm sure they could sit on their couch without having flashbacks of being pressed deep into cushions, struggling for breathe. They could venture into their kitchen for a snack without remembering how hot the stove had felt, centimeters from their backs.
I didn't have that luxury
This entire house felt like a nightmare I couldn't wake up from. I didn't want to spend another second inside of it."

Fun Little Lies | Ginny and Georgia
_________________ Out of nowhere, Mom came around the corner pointing a gun at us. Ginny pointed the one that we found back at her. It was a shocking moment. "What the hell, Virginia and Oakley? What are you guys doing home? I could've killed you guys" Mom says squatting down to our level and grabbing the gun that Ginny had. " I've never held a gun before" Ginny panicked. " what are you guys doing in here? Why are you pawing through my closet?" Mom says. "We want answers!" I say getting up and so did Ginny. " Answers to what?" Mom says trying to put everything back in the box. " Are you kidding? To all of it! Your past everything. We're sick of all the lies" I say. " I don't care what you're sick of. You guys have no right to go through my stuff" Mom says putting the box back under the floorboards. " Don't talk to us about what is right. What is all this? Why are there guns in the house?" Ginny barked. " why do you have to send Maddie away?" I add. " That's between me and Maddie" Mom says. "She's our aunt! Why couldn't we know that? They're are family" I plead for answers. " They're not your guises family. I am your guys family!" Mom snapt. " I just want you to be honest with us" Ginny says. "I have been" Mom says. "Bullshit, Mary!" Ginny snaps. Mom then did the unexpected and slapped Ginny. "Oh my gosh" I say looking between mom and Ginny. ________________________ Oakley and Ginny Miller. Always moving schools every single month basically.

6 months to live
It all started my sophomore year of high school. The first symptom that struck me was the constant headaches. I was easy to brush it off since I had been overwhelmed with before and after school activities. More activities meant more coffee to poison the pain of maintaining my reputation. "It's the stress," I would constantly tell myself. Then it was the small fragments of my memory that kept being stolen away from me. Bits by bits, they would slowly vanish leaving me demented. I though I was going crazy because I couldn't remember simple things like where I lived. It never occurred to me that I would only have 6 months left to live.Complete

"She was a rogue agent. A master in worshipping her work and herself. But suddenly she disappeared, without any track. Some thought she is dead, some thought she has taken a momentarily break and some thought she was still looking out for a chance to pounce on any other gang. I don't blame them, she had a track record for doing that and she was pretty good at it." Her last kill before she vanished out of this world of war, was one of the biggest group of smugglers. Now, many other groups and rogue agents are trying to track her down for one reason or another, but in that crowd this last group which she tackled down to ashes is also included. Not revenge but something bigger. More than hard feelings, more than just a rage of vengeance. Something to gnaw at for a specific reason. Any guesses why this group is searching for it's biggest enemy? ●●●●● "Why did you refuse...?! "Beacuse...I don't want to lose the people ..I c-care for anymore..!"

LIGHTS OUT
You thought your phone was broken when it read nine-forty-three in the morning while it was pitch black outside. One look at social media gave you all the information you needed to know what was happening. The sun was gone. Everywhere, in every state, city, country. Not only that, but people were making up all kinds of excuses for why it was missing. Yet, with each hour that passed, it kept worsening. People began looting in major cities, creating mobs to rush important buildings or block off busy roads. You, living in a semi-large city, could hear the sounds from afar; until those sounds turned to screaming, yelling, running. There were things out there. Things that wanted to hurt you. People that wanted to hurt you. Will daybreak ever come again? Or was this new, apocalyptic setting forever your new reality? ...And why did a masked, bloodied, man just break into your bathroom? ORIGINALLY POSTED ON QUOTEV.
White Top Hats
It started when the rain fell. As it hit the windows rhythmically, I fought my sleep. Fighting off the demons in my dreams. I hadn't realized how real that dream became. Waking up to terrified screaming. My heart racing, the lighting striking and my family begging for their lives. I claimed myself as a coward that very same night. I hated myself. My depression became the best of me. What's worst then your family being slaughtered? Hiding in the closet from the killers. I should've helped, I should've been there for them. The pain between my chest and stomach was growing guilt. So I started thinking smart. Looking at everyone differently. I decided to reopen their cold cases. And when I found the truth it hit me deep.Complete
Chasing Casey
#1 Mystery | #1 Thriller | #1 Young Adult Have you ever known someone more than you know yourself? Known them so inside out that you could finish their sentences and know what they're thinking, just with a glance? That was Casey and I. We were the ultimate best friends. We knew more than we should about each other. I was hopelessly and undeniably in love with him. I still remember the day perfectly. I wish I could say there was something to hint that it was coming. There was nothing. I thought I knew everything about him. Apparently not. He killed himself and a part of me died along with him. He was dead, and so was I. Or, so I thought. ** Cover by Reachingformorex ** © 2017 by LaurenJ22. All rights reserved.Complete
They Called Me a Tragedy
[Currently discontinued] I lost everything before I even knew how to live. Orphaned, cast into the care of relatives who never wanted me, I learned early that the world doesn't notice when you disappear. To everyone around me, I am quiet, polite, fragile. I stay in the corners. I smile when I must. People say I'm sweet, obedient, unassuming - perhaps they are right. Perhaps they don't see the ways I watch, the choices I make in silence. I move carefully. I observe. I wait. Some doors, once opened, are better left undiscovered. They called me a tragedy. Perhaps they were right - or perhaps they never truly understood.
