Ever since he was 10, Shadawn Van River has been living his life hoping to see the light at the end of the tunnel. But with each passing year, his hope diminished to that of a dream out of his reach.  Living in a house dictated by his unpredictably Alcoholic father and manipulative abusive older brother has extracted from him every ability he has to feel any happiness. As things pummel out of control, Shadawn is finally giving up. Giving up on happiness, giving up on himself, giving up on everything, and definitely giving up on his life.

 That is, until he gets a visit from the police.

The visit informed him of the death of his father.

As Morbid and inhumane as it sounds, the news indeed was the only verbal utterance that ever brought him such happiness. 

He was finally free.

Finally free from his father and especially from Liam, his older brother.

Being placed at an orphanage was not a walk in a park, yet he felt safe and was safe. That is until his social worker boards them a ticket to drop him off at his Mother's family. 

Shadawn thought dealing with one brother was torture, but seeing now that he had four more brothers and a sister at the end of his plane ride revived his constant fears. A new family, a new school, yet comes back into his life is a presence he thought he'll never feel again. His Ex-bestfriend.

Will this be the dawn of a new beginning?

or

The dawn of realizing life for him on earth was not worth living.

!!Trigger warning: suicide, Implied/Referenced Self Harm!! Warnings before sections. . This book is currently discontinued, if I find motivation to finish it it is not in the foreseeable future. . "Trust me." His voice was soft and calming, the way that a good father could be assumed to sound. "This isn't what you want, it never has been and it never will be. Confusion is difficult to work through, but if you just let me help you, I can show you that it can be worked through." He rolled up his sleeve, showing several white streaks across his skin. The other was shocked. "N-no, I'm not good for anything, I'm nothing there's nothing for me." He shook his head many times, holding it in his hands after a bit. "No." "Can I touch you?" The boy who was trying to help this poor soul had approached a few paces. His voice was now quieter, more soft, and still caring. The boy at the bridge took a moment to think, then nodded his approval. The savior gently took the boy's hands delicately in his own and gently pulled the boy back. Well, less of a pull and more of a gentle suggestion. It worked and the boy stumbled down off of the edge. The boy started to cry. How could he be so weak that a boy, the same age as him, who seemed to have the same ideas and hatred toward himself as he, could keep him from stepping off? The other simply gently led him to his vehicle and took out a water bottle out of the backseat. The boy took it and looked at it suspiciously. "It's untampered, look, it's still sealed." Upon seeing this, the boy opened it and took a few sips of water. "Thank you. For the water." The savior smiled. "It's nothing much." He shrugged. "Have a phone? If you want I can put my number in and then you'll always be able to tell someone if you're having a pissy day." Surprisingly enough, the boy agreed. . They would both be around twenty.

Sex, drugs and the death-dealing pressure to make money night after night - It's a steep, downward spiral which 19-year-old Elijah Everdeen has found himself stuck in ever since his parents died. If it weren't for his two siblings, he would have given up years ago. For a long time, he wanted to, thought about it every day even. Sometimes - in the cruelest, darkest of nights - he still does. But if this black-and-white world has really become Elijah's grim reality, then why is this young, mysterious man capable of adding color and a heartbeat to this dreadfully achromatic still life Eli is trapped in? Who is he? And...who is he REALLY? ~~~~~ DISCLAIMER: The storyline of this book is entirely fictional, it does not intend to mimic or describe real circumstances.

Life after Death: The Afterlife of Hezekiah Chamblee by JayDEvers
57 parts Complete Mature
After being killed execution-style by his own family, a young man settles in an alternative afterlife and learns how to live. **************** On the day he graduated from high school, Hezekiah Chamblee was killed by his parents all because he wasn't meant to be a part of their American Dream and that he was a product of rape. Shortly after entering into the void between life and death, he is surprised to learn that he was not meant for heaven or hell and he wasn't meant to return to Earth. He is then sent to a simulated world known as "Nexus," where people like him were sent here and that they view an alternate timeline where they don't exist on Earth. It is there that Hezekiah not only views a timeline where he doesn't exist but also meets other teenagers and young adults like him, reunites with a crush from his old life (they being close friends back then), encounters with a sly femme fatale with wicked intentions, and learns about his true origin by both God and Lucifer (the deities being brothers themselves). Meanwhile in the land of the living, word of his death would trigger a butterfly effect that would unleash scandals, change lives, and have one of Hezekiah's younger twin brothers expose the family secrets before the family would completely come to ruin. Follow this story alongside Hezekiah Chamblee as he undergoes dynamic paradigm shifts about himself while learning to finally use his voice as his family's forbidden desires would bring them to their downfall. "What's done in the dark would soon be brought into the light. And what was said in whispers would be shouted loud from the rooftops."
