Havilah exhales deeply and slides onto the bathroom floor. She couldn't stare at the mirror any longer and her puffy eyes and pale skin were starting to make her nauseous. She held the bottle of oxy so tight she nearly crushed it. Slowly, she glided the blade over the previous scar and listened to the blood dripping on the floor.
There it was at last.
The emotion she wanted to feel.
Pain.
And suddenly she was numb again.
What if....
Never mind. I wouldn't be missed, she thought.
Opening the bottle, she popped the last ten pills into her mouth.
Slowly it started to kick in... she could feel her head getting lighter. Desperately, she embraced the darkness that came with it.
Peace
Quiet
No voices
Just embracing darkness...
***
Two years later, Post rehab and psychiatry, Havilah Brown is forced to face the same world she tried to escape. Everyone believes she's better, but Havilah? She's just waiting for another opportunity.

My Dangerous Best Friend (18+)
"It's your turn to pleasure me," she whispered breathily. "Um...how?" I asked, referring to the handcuffs that restrained me to the bedposts and the blindfold that concealed my vision. "I can't see...or move." But I quickly learned the answer when she sat upon my face. Ooh. That's how. In that case, yes, Ma'am. I dutifully obliged as any good submissive would, licking and teasing her sex with my tongue. She tasted almost sweet, and I found myself craving her even more. She moaned and sighed in pleasure, writhing atop me. And when her thighs began to tremble violently, I knew she had climaxed. *** "I can fix him."

This was the first time I went to a mental institution because it's also the year I first tried to kill myself. 15 the first time I smoked meth, took a bump of cocaine, shot myself up with heroine. This was the first time I got sent to rehab, it didn't work and I came out worse. I was 16 when I tried to commit three times in the same year, the last time I got my heart to stop for 30 seconds. That year was also the first time I snorted Hydrocodone, getting me started in opiates, I experimented with Xanax and liked it. And I was a month from 17 when I got sober. - "Fuck you." I snap. "You already have." Micah bites out. "And I'm pretty fucking sure you liked it too, if your orgasms were anything to go by." - "I want-" Micah stopped, running his fingers through his hair. "Never mind what I want. What do you want?" His voice is quieter now, more gentle. "You."Complete

A Deadly Love- Book Two
There are worse things than death. ___ "What is wrong with you?" I seethed. She had my back against the wall, pinning me down so I couldn't move. She was much stronger than me, even when I used my strength to get out of her embrace. I held her gaze and I knew that she was gone. There wasn't an ounce of goodness left in her body. She laughed at my question. Of course, I knew what was wrong with her. But I have to find a way to get her back. "What is wrong with me? Ha, nothing sweetheart." she told me with a smile on her face. "I'm just having a little fun." "Yeah, and fun for you is killing innocents," I growled. "Oh, I hate to say this to you but they aren't all innocent." I finally broke free of her and I dropped her to the floor. I held her down with both arms while I was on top of her. All she did was give me a smile. An eerie smile that made a shiver run down my spine. "I should kill you for what you've done," I whispered. "I should make you pay." "Oh, but Sebastian, you won't," she said. "You know why? Because at the end of the day I'm still me, and you will never hurt me, will you?" I hated that she was right. I couldn't kill her. My mind told me that it would be the best to do it but my heart told me otherwise. I mentally cursed at myself for letting this happen to her. "Elora, I know you're still in there." I said. She was still on the ground, but she was not resisting which seemed odd. "She died a long time ago," she said finally. "Alongside her love for you." ___ Book Two in the "From Death to Life" Trilogy #13 in BloodlustComplete

Drive
Within the bare off-white walls of the small and square guest bedroom, the sound of a heavy leather belt falling away from where deathly pale skin hung off bone, breaking the sleeping silence as it landed with a dull thud on the cream carpeted floor. A thin thumb pushed down on the plunger a little too fast, releasing a mixture of heroin and crystal meth into the vein; situated just under the crook of the elbow-in between the abscesses. A loose smile twitching onto cracked lips, revealing many missing and rotting teeth. Her view of the whitewashed ceiling blurring as the rush overwhelmed her; the familiar warmth blossoming in her skull, and a burst of excitement surging inside her fluttering chest. The high lifted her above all the shaking, all the sweating, all the crying, all the insecurities, all the thinking and all the suffering. Alleviated the pain. The high didn't bring her happiness anymore, it hadn't for years now. It just made the pain go away for a few hours. ~ The story of a suicidal drug addict on the edge of oblivion. *WARNING: drug abuse, self harm, suicidal ideation and suicide attempts are prominent in this short story.
