Like how music's personality comes from the musician, so is a child's self from her parents. Having a sudden change in her life was always unwelcome, but this one especially so. Lily's mother had been absent from her life for five years. But now, she's returned, and Lily couldn't dread it more. Her vision of a perfect life has many setbacks, and the girl finds herself as a lily among thistles.

The Spectrum by A_Shepherd

Beck is top of her class when it comes to Maths and Science and her future seems bright. However, she struggles with social anxiety and relationships. Beck is autistic and spends most of her life locked away in her own mind as she reads her collection of books to escape her abusive alcoholic father. But once her eyes meet a grey eyed boy from across the room her world won't be the same. (18+ violence, adult themes, bullying, harassment and other issues) Being Autistic myself I have put a lot of me in this book. I've exaggerated certain aspects for entertainment values but other than that this is how awkward I feel most of the time. I don't see many books by women who write about their experiences in a creative way to spread awareness in a fun and compassionate way. This is mine I guess. I hope you enjoy this short story.

A Boy Named Jasper {Wattpad Featured Novel} by MidnightRose55

For with God nothing shall be impossible. (Luke 1:37) ~~~~~ Jasper is a screwed up kid, yet no one cares enough to find out why. Bruises hide his arms and alcohol stains the walls of his house, but he pushes forward because it's the only thing left for him to do. His days are spent in and out of the school psychologist's office, while his nights are spent in fear of his father. His guitar and the secluded spot by the train tracks where he likes to play are the only saving graces in the hell that is his life. No one disrupted this normal routine until Callie came. Callie is far from screwed up; she doesn't have family issues and doesn't understand the first thing about Jasper's world. Her house is filled with answered prayers and smiles of people who love each other. Her arms are clear and her head is full of optimism that Jasper doesn't buy for a second. She never second guessed her sunny disposition on life until she stumbled upon a boy and his guitar down by the train tracks. Callie and Jasper weren't supposed to cross paths. She wasn't supposed to care and he wasn't supposed to let her get under his skin, but then again opposites weren't supposed to attract either. Callie saw the good in him where most people thought there was none ; she was captivated by Jasper because he made her question everything she knew about the world. She thought it would be easy to teach him that there was still good left in the world, that there was more beyond all the bad he'd become accustomed to. She thought fixing him would be easy, but nothing worthwhile is ever easy and sometimes it takes more than one girl's overly optimistic persistence to pull a person out of the hell they've been living in; sometimes it takes faith and realizing that some things can't be done without it... ~~~~~ -Highest Ranking: #8 in spiritual, 10/25/17 ; #1 in Christianity, 2019 -Wattpad Featured Novel: 10/19/17

The Memoirs of Melody by expressivesoul

This story is not real. It never happened. It is not about the girl with everything that has nothing. Or the girl whose soul pours out in music notes. Or the girl whose heart is drowning her. It is not about Melanie or Melody. She is the main character but this book is not about her. Her story ends on the last page, the last reader. This book never dies. Because this book isn't about a girl. It's not even about the things that happen to her Nor her depression Nor her death. This book is about life. Life. Love. Time. Terrible. Wonderful. Ours. Twisted. Tangled. Dark. Heart-break. Joy. Today. Tomorrow. Limited. Gone. Life. Vida. Leben. Vita. 生活. жизнь. Leven. La vie. ΖΩΗ. जिंदगी. đời sống. 생명. ชีวิต. Life. Life. Warning: This book focuses on topics like depression and suicide and may be triggering. Please be careful reading this if you are sensitive. Also, there is some bad language because it's high school and not having curse words would be unrealistic. Lastly, I'd like to make it clear that this book isn't rated because of sexual content and while there may be references and a couple of scenes, there will be nothing super explicit. The rating is purely because of the self harm scenes and references.

Symphonic Note by Kiatoukaysy

'The only control I have in my life is music. It comforts me and keeps me going. My favorite instrument is the violin. I was drawn to how a tiny instrument could create such a high pitch sound. With each note played my fingers dance and run along the strings. The bow is the compositor as it instructs the melody and harmony. ' -Crystal Art work and Story by: Kiatoukaysy **Note** There is adult humor and stuff in this story...what I consider or think the rating should be...older teen or maybe not?? Thanks :) **Please understand any names, places, are just fictional and not met to represent someone, a location or anything** Thank you ^^ **Please forgive me for any grammar, wordiness and if stuff makes no sense T^T** When you reread, reedit, and change...make constant changes...and read it again...your eyes will get dizzy (@___@)

Only Human by meeblings24

"Do I make you nervous, Sweetheart?" He spoke lowly. "Psh, no! I just-" I gasped when his tongue flicked out and touched my neck. My hands flew up to clutch at his shirt, fingers tightening in an attempt to hold myself up. It was as if my knees turned to jelly. "Maybe it's bad. And maybe I shouldn't, but I love that. I love the way you react to my touch. I love the way you pretend you aren't turned on. I love that I make you nervous." Oh my. His husky voice was doing a number on my already frazzled nerves. I was putty in his hands, rendered completely useless without him. "It's okay, Sweetheart. You make me nervous too." ----------------- Viola Evans is just an ordinary 19-year-old girl.
