Dragged to my knees by Ari_Whispers

Highest Ranking #408 in Spiritual #7 in christianlit "Are you Happy?" is such a difficult question. I always say yes. Because I have friends, I laugh at jokes; I go out a lot and have fun. My life isn't as bad as it could be and I don't have terrible problems. It could be worse. Right? But then, one night at 3am when I'm alone, still awake, lying in bed, thinking about life, I find myself crying my heart out. I feel horrible and I question everything I had. I don't know if I was ever happy at all and yes, things just got worse. Jericho 'Ricky' Davis is your typical 'more-than-average' high school student at first glance. he seems to have it all; from friends to girls, popularity at school and even good grades. However, as his story unravels, we learn that Ricky is struggling with a broken relationship with his father, an aunt at the verge of death and a life that just might fall apart. After all, everything is not what it seems This is not some sappy romance story. There is no promise of a happily ever after. Yes there will be a lot of eye rolling and provocation and yes you might be force-fed a bowlful of aggravating emotions but please try your hardest not to hunt me down and strangle me afterwards. Thank you :)

Inhale by DeinaIsConfused

Exhale, repeat. How far will you go? Ask Julian Laurence and he will tell you he is living the dream. Despite his flaws and overwhelming anxiety, Julian has everything he needs at school. Wealthy, privately educated, and surrounded by his friends; what more can a 16 year old ask for? But behind autumn winds and the second hand smoke there is something far more sinister. Julian finds his perfectly orchestrated comfort turned inside-out as a new student arrives, and old stories return. There is only so much the human spirit can take. A slow burning story of love, grief, and mystery that follows observant Julian through his final years at school as his relationships with those around him are tested. As always, in loving memory of the real Josiah-Jean, who has breathed life into the beloved Josiah in this story.

Growing up is painful for everyone, falling in love is confusing, and family is even more confusing, somehow Harry must learn to navigate it all through heartache and triumph. A modernized adaption of Shakespear's history plays, Henry IV Parts 1 and 2, and Henry V, which is to say shameless fanfiction. Feels like an inspirational sports story.

She parted her lips, allowing his tongue more access. He accepted the invitation without hesitating. She felt his hand gliding down to her butt and... Jerry suddenly pulled his mouth away and took his hands off her. "Damn, stop." He backed away, breathing hard. "No, we can't do this." Winifred shuddered, the ache of need nearly tearing her heart into pieces. Tears sprung to her eyes as her knees gave out and she slumped down on the armchair by the side. She just got rejected. Never in her life did she see this day coming. "Get out," she said. "I'm sorry?" "Don't be, just get out." And he did, but not after hesitating and taking a pitiful and regretful look at her.

But will these revelations tear them apart, or bring them closer than ever? Will their paths diverge again, or will they intertwine?
