It’s 1955 and Tom Carver is a young architect living in Australia. He travels across to England to visit family and whilst travelling on a train from London to Cornwall he has a chance meeting that changes his life forever.
At the outset he is a rather callow and shallow young man, but through his travels and trials he becomes so much more.
His story takes him from Cornwall, to London and Sydney.
He learns compassion when he realises that the only difference between himself and others less fortunate is usually nothing more than sheer luck.

My Living Nightmare - Tom Kaulitz
He was good looking, drove a sexy car and always had a girl on his arm, he seemed to be the ideal man to every girl's eye, but he was the complete opposite. My name is Taylor, and I am one of those girls he has on his arm. I wasn't put there willingly, no not at all, I was forced to be his pet, thats what he called me, what they all called us, pets "your a fucking pet!" he would scream at me "you don't talk back to me" then he would hit me across the face or shove me to the ground. Thats how he liked it, rough. The man who made me sick at his touch, tremble when I felt his prescene, when i felt his breath is Tom Kaulitz, Tom fucking Kaulitz. "No one stands up to me, I'm Tom Kaulitz" Why he's keeping me around, I have no idea, why he's put up with me for so long, I wouldn't have a clue, I thought he would of put a bullet in my head ages ago, just like the others. He was an invincible killer, an evil man that got away with anything, murder, rape, stealing, just because he could drive. Trigger warning: Some scenes may include rape and cutting/suicide attempts. (It contains mature subject and dark themes such as explicit kidnapping, murder and rape. There's also explicit sex scenes. Read at your own risk. This book is unedited so you'll find some grammatical errors) I do not own Tokio Hotel but I do own everything else, original characters, story line etc. © winternightz I am winternightz!

Unbreakable(Boondock Saints)
Emily Moore is a 24 year old who was originally born in London but moved to Boston when she was 19. She was never planning on building a life there; it was merely supposed to be a pit-stop before she moved onto the next country on her travel across the world. Obviously fate had different plans for her as she soon found herself fond of the place she now calls home. The only down side to the end of her travelling dream was the years she wasted learning different languages to prepare herself, but she was yet to realise they could actually come in handy soon. For the past six years she has been working at McGinty's where she gets to spend time with her surrogate granddad Doc, her annoying brother/bestfriend figures Conner and Rocco and most importantly her boyfriend Murphy. They hit it off instantly but it wasn't until two years ago that they hooked up after a booze filled 22th birthday party for Emily. Not the most romantic way to start a relationship, but they've been together ever since. They weren't your average couple. They didn't walk around calling each other boyfriend and girlfriend or constantly telling each other that they loved one another because they just didn't need too. They both mutually understood that he was hers and she was his- Murphy often making sure every other man in the pub knew as well- and they both knew how much the other loved them; often more through actions rather then words. Although they often liked comparing their relationship to cheesy Westlife songs, 'Unbreakable' always coming out on top in their list of favourites.Complete
