Letter 1 

Dear Dad,
Hi Dad. It's Zoey. I'm now sixteen and mom still won't talk about you. I've waited ten years for you to come home. But you never did. I want to know about you, and I want you to know about me. Even though I don't remember you that well, I still love you. I would give my last thousand words to you. So, I will be writing these letters all my life even if you don't write back. I've needed you, and I still do. Mom won't say anything to me about you. I love you. It would mean everything in the world to me if you could come home. Please. 
Love your daughter,
Zoey GavrilAll Rights Reserved

Out of Time || j.m. by TWareLovely

"I'm sorry, James. The tests were positive. You have cancer," the doctor said. In that moment, I felt my entire world crumble. Everything I knew, everything I loved, I would have to say goodbye to. How was this even fair? I'm 23 years old, I haven't lived yet, haven't experienced much, and yet I was going to die. I might have just given up completely if it wasn't for her. She is the only reason I am still alive, yet she can't know of my disease. She can't know anything. I just have to pretend that everything is going to be okay before I have to say goodbye, before I run out of time.

Darling by demetria_ehxox

"How long?" Freddy stepped up. Everyone else was distraught. "Looking at the results, a couple of months. Three, four at the max. But much quicker. We can try Chemotherapy. That could prevent it spreading any further. Maybe give an extra six months" Then I found my voice. "No." All eyes turned to me. Baby lived in a boring life. She had a secret though. Every day she went to an old manor that called to her. Finally she investigated the house. Lord Carlisle Grayson was a lord in his time, but when the town in 1784 thought he was a vampire, they bound him in chains and put him in a tomb. Baby, opened the tomb and soon she found out really what he meant to her. Soul mates? They can be very complicated. Truths get unveiled along the way, but not to Baby's liking. When Baby falls severely ill she has to make a choice. A choice that will change her life forever. But is the change in her life for the best?

Nicole by writteninhaze

My mother had kept secrets from me for as long as I could remember. Never answering anything I asked about my father, my siblings or why they weren't with us was... It was like she was bound to do it. But despite my curiosity, she never failed to give me anything I wanted. Anything but answers. And after so many years, she finally agreed to give me that too. But I guess one can't have everything they want. It was like they were waiting for this day. Waiting for the day when my hopes got high enough for them to crush. To turn my curiosity into grief. I'm Nicole... and this is my story... #tsc22

I'll Love You Till the End by krissygirl

So I have this thing. Some people would call it a catastrophe; some would call it heart breaking. It also has the name of disease, and heart killer. I call it just cancer. Simple enough as it is, right? Doesn't help that I already had it once before, it just came back to fight harder as ever. I thought it was over. Isn't it though? Don't you give up at that point? Senior year and I'm ready to end my life as a person all together. I'm tired of fighting and might as well give up because there are no chances of me living all together. So as a smart choice I move so when I die no one will know me or care about me. Wouldn't that be the logical choice? I don't want pity. Never liked, never will. So don't tell anyone I have cancer. Ever. Doesn't help that a boy started getting involved with me and snuck under my skin before I even realized what he was doing. What changed me were those few, simple words all together. "I'll love you till the end." That, that was about the time I started caring about life again. And it was all because of him.

Paper planes by kylajada16

It all started with a paper plane... _______________________________________________________ "You.... you shouldn't do that.. carter.. dont-" I stuttered as he came closer and closer to me. "Don't what.. do this.. don't come closer, I'm practically 5 cm away Aurora Zoey Jacobs " . Well he's actually 4.8 cm , but whose counting any way.. He called me by my name, Aurora Zoey Jacobs not snowy not rose,not doll face , he never calls me my real name, and now it kinda hurts. " You see Aurora, you need to stop being so.. clueless, I can't believe you really don't realize.." he said slowly his familiar lavender scent tickling my nose. God can his scent not make me wana kiss him more? "Realize what?" I say. "That I'm so ... FUCKING in love with you.. if you can't understand that then ,let me put it in clearer terms" he says while I can feel his lips coming nearer and nearer. " I. LOVE.U". My Brown eyes were filled with shock, he loves me?..... _______________________________________________________ So u might be saying " oh.. this is some crappy cliche " Well sorry to burst your bubble but.... it isn't. It's about a girl that has hope that her mom's alive . It's about a boy that lost hope in everything. Until they met each other. And then it all changes. He starts to be her everything, and him her life. Add a bit of comedy ,best friends, dads, parties ,virgin's, and a crazy twin sisters and you've got the wildest book ever . But you know whats even wilder. ..... It all began with a paper plane.

Fix Me, I'm Broken by Ana11e1y

Walking into an empty house is normal to me. I guess I got tired of saying 'I'm home' when nobody is home to reply. It wasn't always like this. I remember when our family was close. Now we don't see each other any more. We don't talk to each other. We don't eat with each other. We don't ACKNOWLEDGE each other. This all happened after my 'Mother' killed herself. My father blames me. This is my story about how I learned to not count on anyone else but myself. I'm broken. I'm used. No one can fix me. But when the New Boy in town tries to fix me, everything will change. Good change or Bad change, I don't know. Only time will tell. I want to enter this story in the #Wattys2015 please help me out and vote and comment on my story. I'll really appreciate it!!! #Wattys2015 COPYRIGHTED Â© 2014 BY Anallely ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Â®

She Never Knew... by imokayalright

"Mom, not today. I don't even know why you're making me go. Today is dads..." I didn't want to finish and remind her of dads' birthday. My phone kept ringing, I already knew it was Dakota, he's my childhood best friend. "Just take your brother to school, please!" She exclaimed. She looked miserable. I shut the door and smelled the freshly cut grass. I smiled to myself knowing it was my dad's favorite smell. "Alexandria! We're gonna be late, can you stop daydreaming and get in the car." My brother, Cory hollered. He hates to think about dad. He just forgets. I Jeep Wrangler and I started the car, Cory rolled down his windows. "Are we sitting together at lunch today?" Cory asked me. "No I want you to sit with your friends, I'll be alright alone." I told him. "Alright Alex, believe it or not I actually love you. And I love you enough to tell you, you need friends." He admitted. "Have fun. Love you too, Corky." I laughed at the name I gave him when I was a kid. He smiled at me then left into the school. I went on to go to a flower shop. I stopped and got out. I walked in the shop. "Ally, do you have my order, the cars running?" I asked Ally. "Yeah Alex, I have it. Your order for 1 dozen Chocolate Cosmos, 2 dozen Daises, and 1 dozen yellow Roses." "Thanks Ally." I grabbed all the flowers then ran back to the car. I drove to the grave. I threw all my stuff into my bag. I grabbed the flowers and I pulled my bag over my shoulder and got out. I looked around and saw people young and old coming here to see their loved ones. I saw my families graves. Almost my whole family will be buried here. My grandpa always said it was sacred. I put the Cosmos on my dad's grave. The Daises on my grandmothers and the Roses on my grandpas. I talked and talked to them till I pull my pack of cigarettes out of my bag along with a lighter. I put the cancer stick in my mouth and lit it. "You guys are probably really mad right now. Blame peer pressure in 9th grade."

The Tuneless Song by jwschehayeb

A girl diagnosed with lung cancer strives survival in a world full of hate, looks and gossips. How will she go on through her daily challenges whilst experiencing the life of a normal American teenager? △ Chosen Excerpt ▼ " Ladies and gentlemen, the sign at the door tells it all. We are here today to discuss the situation of the unspoken. People are aware of what's happening with our earth. But they just proceed with life. No one ever stopped to think. What if all of this reached to an end? What if the future, we prepared hard for our children, was nowhere to be found? What if all of these materialistic manners vanished in seconds? We are challenging a storm. A storm beyond human control. A storm that would be the end of the human race as we know it. You think that life is a cycle? I know some of you would say 'Just because everything is changing, doesn't mean it has never been this way before' but this isn't Narnia we are talking about. This is real life. And in real life bad endings are usualized. Unfortunately, we got no Aslan to help us. We got ourselves. Studies showed that we are less than twelve years away from being unable to undo our mistakes. Either we stop and think about this life, or we proceed with our businesses and fail. Either we stop the temperature from increasing or we watch with eyes full of regret the poles melt eventually

An Unpredictable Life by ElaineWhite

** Winner of The Watty's 2014: Collector's Dream Award ** ** This is a true story. Now FULLY edited ** I was diagnosed with Cancer a week before my 16th Birthday. I had Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma and had to undergo Chemotherapy and a Stem Cell transplant, back in 2003. My whole life changed. I wrote this book when I was 17, when all my treatment was over, to catalogue everything I had learned and experienced. I had no information about Cancer during my treatment; it was all aimed at adults and I was a teenager who didn't understand most of what happened. So I wrote this book. I was a teenager when I wrote, when I had Cancer and I wanted this to be an information, honest account of what it was really like to have Cancer and go through the treatment....from a teenager's perspective. It's sometimes funny, sometimes sad, always honest. There may be parts that you squint at, because you're embarrassed to read them...well, I was embarrassed writing them. But that's the whole point of honesty. To get it out in the open. To be real. And that's what this is.
