Devin, a seventeen year old delinquent, never had the easy life most people take for granted.  He didn’t have parents who cared enough to ask where he was when he stumbled back home at three in the morning.  He didn’t have a solid, stable household to return to with his younger brother, Gabe.  He had no real friends or relatives to turn to when he was in trouble.  This led to him getting into trouble and participating in crimes that consumed his entire life

Devin had to grow up pretty fast, hitting bump after bump in the road.  But, when a nerdy girl sees past his cold exterior, will her kindness be enough to help him, or will his bad past hold strong and ruin his chances?

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?

"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?
