His hands itch for another game of cards, just one more round is his life motto. If he isn't losing money from the round table, he's losing it to his unstable mother. He's in a constant cycle of addiction until he sees her, with streaks of pink and blue in her hair. He's immediately intrigued, especially when she opens her mouth. 

She's always itching for another anxiety pill but she tells herself she's more than just her anxiety, it doesn't help that her father being in and out of jail helps. She lives her life a hundred miles an hour to match her constant heart beating until she sees him, a cigarette hanging between his lips and cards in his hands. 

This is Jaiden and Imogen's story. These characters are from my book called Locked Eyes, I recommend you read that first.

Jonathan and Other Weird Stories by Freshpaul97
26 parts Complete Mature
A collection of short stories 1) THABISA Tunde is gay, and Jabulani has his eyes on him. Angry eyes, filled with weird desires. All his life, Tunde has felt bound with shackles, longing to taste freedom. Real freedom---to walk down the streets, smiling, with a regular heartbeat, and without fearing for his life. Tunde finds himself in South Africa at the worst time possible---a time the Saffas frown heavily upon Nigerians. He should stay low and try to stay hidden, but first he has to get Jabulani off his back. Right after he figures out what exactly Jabulani wants from him. 2) YOUR WIFE: You think your wife is cheating on you. All the signs are there, and she doesn't even talk to you anymore. But you have to investigate. You need to know the truth---what she does when you're away; why she spends so long in the bathroom. You have to know the truth---even if it destroys you. 3) JONATHAN: Funmi has no friends. None at all. Not even the rats pay her any attention, and she feels all alone in the prison that is her mind. No one would talk to her---no one, save Jonathan. It's always been Jonathan, by her side for ten years past. Funmi does not mind. Jonathan is smart. He has a charming smile, with a silver dagger up his sleeves, and he is never going to let her be alone. Ever again. 4) JONATHAN (SEE QUELLING): After yet another sedation, Funmi slumps into a dark realm, trapped in a space darker than anything she has ever known-here, all her dirty secrets and deepest fears take precedence. Something hunts her too, from ages long before her birth, and Funmi knows she can't outrun it. It will catch her, and it will kill her. But Jonathan stands by her side, emerged from the darkness, so maybe there is hope. He offers her a helping hand, while clutching a dagger in his other hand, and all she has to do to survive is trust him. 5) THAT SUNDAY

Can't Stay Away

35 parts Complete Mature

People say when you love something, it's hard to stay away no matter what; it could be a deadly disease and you still won't be able to stay away. From two different worlds but two sides of the same coin. It's almost like you're within reaching distance from them but yet you aren't allowed to touch them, embrace them, love them, have them. You could only admire them and dream of them. Ophelia Danvers comes from a rich and snobbish family. One that looks down on people even if their filthy rich like them. But she isn't like them at all. Non-judgmental and kind until pushed and not to mention that she's a hopeless romantic. Like every queen, they need to find their king but what if her king isn't the fortunate type? Trevor King, cold and stone hearted punk from other side of the tracks, is a student at Lakeford high. You could say he's a bad boy, delinquent, even lawless thug and that's true but there's more to him. Only his mother sees it. He isn't a player and shows no interest in dating; all girls are the same to him, that is until he meets Ophelia. Will he be able to keep his cold act up or will he finally be thawed? Warnings: Contains swearing, mentions of sex, mentions of verbal abuse and manipulation.
