"Behind Closed Doors" by ariesss1794

Kayla's life seems perfect on the outside-she's a 23-year-old college student with big dreams, a tight circle of friends, and two protective older brothers. She's always been independent, handling her own business and staying focused on her goals. But when she meets Devin, a smooth-talking guy who seems to have it all together, everything starts to change. At first, Devin is everything Kayla could want-charming, attentive, and always making her feel special. But as their relationship deepens, his true colors begin to show. Devin's charm turns to control, and his love turns into something darker. Trapped in an abusive relationship that no one knows about, Kayla finds herself isolated, scared, and unsure of how to escape. With her best friend Lena starting to notice the changes in her, and her brothers Isaiah and Jordan growing suspicious, Kayla struggles to keep her secret while searching for a way out. But leaving Devin isn't as simple as it seems. The deeper she falls into his manipulation, the harder it becomes to break free. In this short, gripping urban drama, Kayla's strength is tested as she fights to reclaim her life and rediscover her voice. Set against the backdrop of city life, "Behind Closed Doors" is a powerful story about love, control, and survival, written in raw, unfiltered Ebonics that captures the realities of living in the streets. Will Kayla find the courage to escape, or will Devin's hold on her drag her down for good?

I Hate Football Players by still_just_me

I love him, but everyone worships the air he breathes and it's suffocating. After a traumatic experience with a quarterback three years ago, I want nothing to do with boys and dating. All that matters is getting into college, so I ace my classes and sign up for my school's student ambassador program to boost my applications. Thankfully, I have my best friend, Harper, to get me through high school being overshadowed by my brother. My plans for a quiet, low-key senior year are destroyed when my brother's cocky, arrogant rival keeps butting into my life. Logan Hightower is a total player who expects me to drool at his feet while he uses me to burn my brother's game. If he thinks I'll fall for his gorgeous looks and shallow charms, he's totally mistaken. He'll never succeed because I hate football players.

You, Again by LaurenMarie1111

Devin Maloney had exactly three objectives in mind for her summer: Make more money, find a rich boyfriend and move out of her parent's house (preferably directly into future rich boyfriend's abode). All of this would help convince Devin that she in fact was not such a fuck up after all. So what if she was twenty-six and hadn't made something of herself? It wasn't just her multiple jobs and her empty bank account anymore. It was the sheer number of weddings she had witnessed on Instagram that was making her physically ill at the moment. Each time she opened up her phone she held it slightly away from her. She couldn't bear to look at the screen for longer than a few moments as she rapidly swiped through the most current wedding searching for people she knew. Hoping that she wouldn't see him. Him being Christian Parker, the situation-ship that seemed to never amount to anything. Christian ebbed and flowed through Devin's life that most of her major milestones were synonymous with him in one way or another.

The Bad Boy Saved Me by Pentatonix21

Do you ever wonder what life would be like if it were a movie? Or some sappy romance novel that you wish your life could be like but it's not? Sometimes you may even get to caught up in the fictional world that you don't realise it IS fictional. Then when you do realise life isn't what you convinced yourself it would be, there is only one possible outcome. Depression. Which may lead to anxiety, self-harm, low self esteem, and worst of all, losing the people you love. Life works in weird ways. Not just for you but for others too. Take Cassidy Rivers for example. Her life is far from perfect. No parents, over protective big brother, few friends, and Asher Norman, the bad boy who won't stop picking on her. Could life get any worse for Cassidy?
