"What're all these empty jars for?" I ask absent-mindedly, forgetting that she hated to be asked questions.
She smirked at me and said, "For all the broken hearts I collect."

It's been three months since Rowan Jene (only Quinn knew her middle name) Missimer has sadly committed suicide. No one asked how or why, especially since very few people liked her, considering that she was the heartbreak girl. But anyway, it's been three months, everyone has moved on, including Quinn (the best she's been able to), when a letter arrives in the mail addressed to the poor girl. And, of course, it's from Rowan. Except, it's not to tell Quinn that she'll miss her or that she wishes the best for her, it's to explain the stupid little tale about the jars in the shed. That's it.

"Who are you and how did you get in my house?" By this point, I looked more human than ghostly. "I'm a ghost." I spoke. "Oh really? Then, if you're a ghost, this won't-" He swung his bat and it goes through my body. "go through.."

Tomorrow's Blues
~"You don't- you don't need me." I stared in shock. This was the first shred of emotion he'd shown since he started avoiding me, and I had no idea how to respond. What was I supposed to say to something like that? So I let myself be honest, and I told him exactly how I felt. "But I do." I almost choked on my words. "I do need you. I can't talk to anybody else. I can't eat. I can't sleep. And I know you know what that's like."~ Liliana is now an orphan. Just 17 years old, she lost her parents in a boating accident and now she must live with her best friend, her best friend's parents and her best friend's brother, Joseph. She struggles through her grief as well as dealing with the mysterious but obnoxious Joseph, and it soon comes to light that he isn't the only one around her keeping secrets. Living under the same roof, tensions arise, and Liliana begins to discover that a perfect family may not be so perfect after all."

Do You Want Me To Suffer? [#KohnnieFanfiction] [Complete]
"Hey, my name is Johnnie. Johnnie Guilbert. I'm in a rough time of my life. It seems that everything I do has no meaning in this world. People don't care about me, they don't like me or maybe they don't even know I exist. I'm seventeen, almost starting my senior year of High School. I don't think that it will be like how you see it in movies: loads of fun, great people, best year of your school life, lot of party, etc,etc. It just doesn't work that way. Sometimes I sit and wonder if teenage years are really "the best years of your life", like the grown ups say to us when we are little kids. Why don't they just tell us the truth? Because, after all, they teach us not to lie too. I hope that this year doesn't become a hurrican."

Not a Love Story
(Exactly what it sounds like. It's really not a love story. ) "Do you like me?" You're straight forward I forget that sometimes. I open the drink and look at it as if it were the most interesting thing in the world. I sigh, it's a habit now, and take a gulp. "So?" You ask again. I put the drink on a table next to your bed and sit properly. "I don't know." I say honestly. You didn't seem fazed but you did seem a bit confused. "What do you mean you don't know?" I shrug and decide that the floor is the next best thing to look at. "I like you." I laugh at this and see you don't. "Don't say that. You don't like me. You don't." I say as my smile fell and I looked to your eyes, mine were filled with sadness. But enjoy the book :)Complete
