When I was younger, my family and I would go on walks around the woods and it was honestly so magical for me, but my parents would just go for a walk, while I'd be looking for fairies or some shit. So, when I was younger I fantasized about walking around in the woods on my own or with friends. It's what all my stories were about. I was obsessed.
Sometime along the lines of growing up, I lost the luster for outdoors and didn't really care anymore. So about a week ago when my brother Tyler asked me if i wanted to come on a walk with only him and his 2 friends that are cool, I almost turned him down. But, I thought "Yeah sure, why the hell not?" and I went. I thought my stepdad was coming with us, but when I got outside it was only Chris , Josh and Tyler. We walked for like 30 minutes to the little town that's nearish to my house, and I've never been so happy in my life. We talked and joked and laughed too loud and I loved every second of it. We went to the park and took stupid pictures and played with toddlers. We even went to a gas station by ourselves and bought sodas. We spent an entire hour just hanging around and walking and joking and laughing some more. It wasn't until we were walking on our way home when I noticed; My younger self dreamed of this day and every day after. These are the days of my life that I always wanted. And it felt so damn good. Josh said we should do it regularly, everyone agreed. I think it was their dreams coming along too.
So, this moment was exactly the moment I decided that this is the time to make or break my life. And I'm writing it all down for two reasons: 1.) To share this journey with you. Who knows, you might relate. And 2.) When I'm older, and time travel is available, I will totally show this to little Kaylee. She would be proud. And that's the point afterall, make yourself happy.

"Dumb and Stupid"
If one of the creators tells me to take down this book, I will. Just know that I don't check notifications here very often. I wrote this story as a joke, but I will warn you that the writing looks more serious. The NOTICE at the beginning explains everything, so I recommend reading it before starting the story. Original Description: Out of YouTube, Tommy is a normal British boy, but one day, one of his best internet friends moves to his area and starts going to the same school as him. Everything's chill at first, but then Tommy starts realizing the small things that his friend does. He notices the small, cute, unimportant details. And all of a sudden, Tommy realizes that he's developed feelings. He doesn't like it one bit, especially since there's one minor difference between the two. I'm going through the book and cleaning everything up right now to just all-around make it more presentable and state the disclaimers in a more organized and thought-out manner, but I found this in the description and I find it funny, so I'm going to keep it. I don't know when I wrote this, but here it is: i can't delete the book at this point. it's already embedded in the web. this book is the bane of my existence. it is what keeps me up at night. please, i beg of you, only read this ironically. the amount of ship comments i've read make me regret my stupid 13-year-old self's choice to make this. honestly i love the ocs i have in this story but i can't think of them without thinking of THIS. anyways, have a great day.Complete
13 Crowns
Prologue I used to have a nightmare when I was younger. It was always the same order and the same impact. It started with the warmth of sand consuming my feet. I looked up to see a warzone. There were flashes of fire, water, and lightning. It was like a war of the gods. Suddenly I felt the heat on my back. I turned to see neon red and yellow flames consume me. I ran to hide in the bushes that were next to me, feeling out of breath I tried to calm myself down. Strands of dark red hair covered my face. I proceeded to swipe my hair and look at my surroundings. I heard sobbing coming from near me. I trudged through the bushes and toward the sobbing when I got to under a willow tree. "Hey, are you okay?" I asked. I saw a girl with long dark red hair being the cause of the sobbing. She had a huge gash on her forehead with blood trailing down her face. She also had burns on her arms and shirt. The boy was in much worse condition. He was covered in burns, she was covering his face with only his hair showing. They both had the same colored hair. Suddenly my necklace started to glow with an amber color. The girl in front of me had a similar amber glow. Two amber crowns sat on top of the pillow. One female and one male crown sat on top of the pillow. Once I walked closer the glow came back. Once I grabbed the tiara everything became white. I was once again in another room, I attempted to move but I mysteriously couldn't. A neon purple bolt of lightning hit my chest. We both locked eyes with each other. Was that me? Before I could find out, the ground started to be drained into a whole. I was sucked into the drain and everything soon became black and I was free-falling. My back soon hit the ground of the room. I rose to look at the surroundings of the new room I was in. I fell to my knees from the pain. Then a person walked forward and grabbed my face.Complete

My Teddy
The corner of his mouth tilts upward slightly. I smile again. A smile!? A tiny one, but still. "Hm. So I got you to smile, that's progress, yeah? Can I get your name now?" I ask, swinging my feel a little. He shakes his head shyly, his mouth not moving at all. Geez! Why do I want to hear this dude talk so much? "Okay, that's fine. I can give you a nickname." I offer happily. He looks up from his book, raising his eyebrows. I just stare for a moment. He has nice eyes. Pretty brown chocolate orbs. They remind me so much of....... "Teddy." He shakes his head immediately, frowning. "What, why not? You remind me of my old teddy bear. He was a good listener and he didn't talk much..... just like you." I say softly, tilting my head. He continues to shake his head. I fold my arms, leaning back in my seat. "Yeah, it's definitely sticking. Teddy.....It has a nice ring to it, yeah?" He sighs, the first sound I have ever heard him make. "No." . . . *Jordan* Teddy!? Seriously!? She gave me a fucking NICKNAME!? What the hell does this girl want!? I stuff my hands into my pockets, walking down the busy street. Forget about her. She's just a annoying pretty girl, she'll go away. Everybody does. She HAS to go away. *Spoiler alert*: she doesn't. Don't get close to people or they'll end up getting hurt. That's my mindset. I've been through enough of that. This girl doesn't belong in my world anyway. She's too innocent. *Mature content* {Just a quick update, I am basically rewriting the story. I wrote it when I was in 8th grade and it makes me cringe every time I try to go back and edit it so keep in mind that it'll get better}Complete
The Twins Betrayal

I turned around to see Makayla right behind me. "Hi, Little Brother." She said viciously ~~~ "You didn't do that stuff to Makayla, did you?" He quietly asked. "No, I didn't." I shook my head and paused. "She did it to herself." He was quiet for a moment. "Why would she blame you for all that stuff?" I lightly shrugged. "They'll believe her, though." I said quietly "Everyone always believes her and now that you're here it's going to get a lot worse." ~~~ Twins that were given up for adoption together. For a reason they do not know yet. The girl was seen as young, Beautiful, and innocent. They couldn't see her for who she really was. But he could and he was none other than her twin brother of course.

Finding Purpose (+18) ✔️
***this book contains suicidal thoughts and tendencies, may not be appropriate for younger audiences*** In which she looks for the purpose of life. Lily Carter's parents died in a car crash leaving her and Laura, girl was depressed long before her parents passed away and with all the problems turning up now, Lily felt more miserable - if that's even possible. With her journey to look for life's purpose and grab the small pinch of HOPE - which is ironically her second name -, will she finally snap at the pressure and finally end it all? or will a small light lit her darkened world of grief and loneliness? * "So you know. The little goth girl who gets bullied is indeed a mess. There's this mess in her head that eats her alive everyday isn't it? What to do now Kaden? Tell the whole neighborhood and recieve an award for taking out a crazy in this world?" I spit like vomit. His eyes warmed up as I finished, "Lily. It isn't like that" "What is it then? People stopped caring... they gave up, why aren't you?" I fought my tears. "Because I feel the need to care. Did Leigh hurt you? Did she hit you?" he finally noticed the unusual redness of my cheek. I don't like the way he told me he needed to care for me. I felt like an obligation, a responsibility that he is carrying and carrying leads to getting tired and when people gets tired, they give up. I don't want them to give up on me. But they will, so it's good not to make them care for me in the first place. "I never needed anyone. I stopped needing anyone before, why start now?" I uttered the words again. Why? There is nothing to fight for. No mama. No papa. No sister to love me. No one. So why would I waste my life and the time of others to fix what is already broken - and someone who doesn't want to be fixed? If I may add. Maybe I gave up. No, scratch that. I gave up a long time ago - when my parents died, my hope and purpose went away with them.Complete
Wolves Den

But one day Remi is attacked, and nearly killed, by a man in the forest. When she wakes up everything's different. She feels something inside her, a power, but she has no idea what happened to her. All she remembers is the man's strange yellow eyes. When three new boys show up at her school, one with yellow eyes, asking her question she gets nervous. And then one night while heading to go get her friend she's taken and thrown into a world she didn't know existed. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Remi?" Jen says suddenly. "Hmm?" I hum back. "Do you ever wish you could just live in the forest? Away from everyone and everything?" She looks at me. "Free." We stare at each other for a long time. I see the real meaning in Jen's eyes. Her worries for going home to her overly strict parents. Her fears for the future and the unknown in general. "If we lived in the forest we wouldn't have gummy bears any more." I comment to lighten the mood. She doesn't find it funny. "I'm serious Remi! What if we did run away?" "Jen, we can't just run away. I know your parents are strict but I truly think they just want what's best for you." She says nothing. For a moment I fear she's mad at me but then she puts her head on my shoulder and I know we're okay.Complete
