Alejandra Martinez had the perfect life until she lost her mom and childhood to a violent tragedy that she witnessed. As a result, her dad fell into many patterns of abuse, leaving her to deal with the aftermath of it all. 

She continued life as best as she could with little hope for anything and trust in absolutely nothing, turning into someone her mother wouldn't recognize, doing whatever she needs to do to cope as well as to protect herself. 

During her junior year at Lower East Side High School, she meets Gabriel Santiago. 

He's known throughout the halls for his association with the most dangerous gang in the city, as well as his ice cold demeanor, all at the age of 17. He's as heartless as it gets - at least that's what everyone thinks. 

The two know nothing about each other. Despite this, they still find reasons to dislike one another. But as time goes on, and they continue to cross paths, something changes. 

Both begin to realize that there's a whole different side of the other that nobody knows about, yet it's the side that they might not hate about one another. 

That's what makes it even more complicated. As they each dig deeper past the facade the other has created over the years, it becomes dangerous for everyone involved.

"Listen, I do and it isn't him", he yelled this time and I stopped walking, angrily turning to him. Can he stop just pissing me off even more? "Oh yeah? And how are you so sure?" "Because it's me"

Sins of Aiden by -honeycream-

"You know I'll find out who did that to you. And they better wish for a headstart." I snap my gaze up. His voice turned awry in my ears at the menacing promise. I stare at him, blinking.

Behind Closed Doors by Brooklyngirl1026

I never thought my life would be like this; trapped in a dark room and scared for my life. A blindfold was wrapped around my head, covering my eyes, making me completely blind and on high alert. My breathing was ragged and I could smell the mold that was most likely covering most of the room. My hands were tied behind my back, my feet tied together and I was sitting on the floor, propped up against a wall. I heard a slight shuffling across the room that was coming closer to me. I tried my hardest to keep my breathing under control to seem confident and fearless, but in reality, I was shitting my pants and squealing like a scared little girl on the inside. To say I was terrified was a drastic understatement. I was petrified, shaking with fear, but they were not going to know that. "Who are you?!" I demanded. If I was going to die, it would be with the name of my kidnapper. A voice boomed closely to me, "Well, if I told you that, this wouldn't be any fun." **************** Skylar James, a 24 year old girl, is kidnapped by a very well known gang who has a vendetta against her family. In an attempt to find light in her situation, she makes friends with one of the members. Logan Grant was forced into the gang at the young age of 16. He was abused until he became emotionless and ruthless, so that one day, he could rule the gang. Everything was going smoothly until Skylar is brought in. With a blindfold wrapped around her head, he instantly feels bad for her, though he cannot show it. Afraid of getting caught, he shows no emotion while others are around. Though, behind closed doors is a whole other story.

Liability by queenofthewips

[BxB] In the eyes of the public, Rhys Martinez is the darling boy of the governor of New York, who has an angelic smile and charming wit. The people of New York and the media adore him, girls and boys (as well as some men and women) are desperate for even just a second glance from him. Reality is a fickle goddess, however. Because Rhys is neither sweet nor caring, he doesn't give a single fuck about people in general unless they are his grandfather or his best friend. He fits right in at Edison Academy's worst class despite never being participating in the havoc his classmates tend to wreak. But he never discourages the sick games either because he doesn't care. Not after what happened the previous year. He is ready to sit back and watch as his classmates do their worst to traumatize and torture whatever poor soul they get as their new homeroom and Literature teacher. And upon seeing the pathetic, weak kid that barely looks older than them in his preppy clothes and huge glasses, he knows that there is no chance that Dmitri Armand would last more than a week under the Black Sheep's tender care. But reality likes to play tricks on those who assume things...
