Allison has just turned 16, but it wasn't as she had dreamed of in her childhood. None of her family was there besides her mom, and her friends couldn't come, but the most hurtful part for Alli about it all was that her eldest sister, Mackenzie, wasn't there when she had promised. She loved her sister and was deeply connected to her. Even though Mackenzie was a drug addict and an alcoholic, Alli looked up to her sister as her hero. Alli was upset about her sister not being with her on her birthday but understood because she knew that if her sister didn't go, Mackenzie would have a good reason. But everything changes when Alli wakes up to her phone ringing in the middle of the night on her birthday. Longing for her old life back, Alli goes down the dark path that her sister had gone down, developing bad habits. Alli's friends had told her to quit her addictions and go to therapy or even rehab, but Alli refused. She lost 50% of her friends, and she developed many illnesses. But one night, Alli passes out after drinking too much and has a strange dream. Alli woke up the next morning and was left disoriented. Alli has a change of heart and travels on a long road to become something to make her mom and, most of all, her sister proud.

Moving across the ocean at sixteen wasn't part of the plan. New school, stupid uniforms, and helping at her dad's crappy gas station wasn't either. But here she is-refilling refrigerators at midnight, carrying boxes with broken tape, and counting down the days until she can leave. Two years later, Maria's still stuck. Still bitter. Still haunted by the life she didn't choose. And then he shows up- In a loud, beat-up car. With the kind of attitude that sets her teeth on edge. She doesn't like him. Doesn't want to. But maybe he's just as messed up as she is. Maybe he sees her darkness and doesn't flinch. And maybe... just maybe... gasoline burns better with a match.

It Wasn't Love ✔️
"Fuck." He whispers into my neck, sending a thrill of excitement through my body. His lips still smothered kisses over my neck and his hands roamed my body, starting at my chest, going down to my stomach. Caressing my soft skin, his thumb trailed circles on my groin before slightly slipping into the waistband of my jeans. My breath catches in my throat as I pull at the hoodie that covered his chiselled body. Understanding, Jacob pulls it off in one swift movement before attaching his lips back on my neck. Sucking and biting it before flicking his tongue over the sore spot. A quiet moan leaves my mouth and I clasp my hand over it, denying any noise to escape.

Unhealthy Obsession |18+|
-Let's get this straight. From a dead end job to a useless crazy ex boyfriend- my happiness is with my best friend yet the fear of our relationship ending completely scares me and id rather fake it and be in fear than find out and never be happy. It sucks, seeing him everyday and knowing what i feel for him and how deep those feelings go is painful...- But when he comes around everything changes for the best and for the worst. As a whole they are deeply loved and equally as hated by others but the love from one another is undeniable, if only she wasnt so selfish with her choices and words- -Lying, cheating, sneaking, crying- many acts and emotions come from within when there's someone you love unaware of that love.. Possibly growing to love someone else right before your eyes..Its gut wrenching, i know because ive fucked up. Its worse when you're aware of the harm you cause yourself and others but dont care how the outcome turns out to be. Why would it matter how it effects you if youre used to pain and people leaving? it wouldnt. All because you take comfort in your own mind and mental illness, once you realize you have freewill it may become a bad thing if youre careless.- - Gabriella White.Complete
