[TW: flashbacks of sexual, emotional and physical abuse, drugs, eating disorder]
DON'T BE DISCOURAGED BY LACK OF UPDATES, I'M STILL WRITING AND WILL UPDATE EVENTUALLY, NOT DISCONTINUED!!!
Kylie Sprinter.
Just a normal 25 year old with no idea about the future, living with her soon-to-be-moving-away best friend.
Of course, behind her emerald green eyes, hides secrets. Like The Dark which keeps eating her from the inside and leaving Kylie like a shell of a human.
Or all those scars which aren't expressed physically.
But she also has a special connection to her favorite band, Imagine Dragons. A piece of history is left behind them, forgotten and thrown into the trash can.
Because as she listens to their songs and watches their interviews, she can't keep herself wondering:
How many years can you hate a person?
She goes to a concert and by a single night, things change for Ben McKee.

Bully stepbrother
BOOK 1 in the Drowning/Bully Standalone Series. WARNING: This book contains intense bullying, explicit scenes, triggering language, violence, and psychological content. I told Caden to cancel his stupid party. He told me, with that infuriating smirk, "Why? Planning to be my snack tonight?" Caden has made my life hell for four years, ever since our parents got married. He's gorgeous, arrogant, and the kind of boy Stanford girls trip over themselves for. Me? I'm the only one who sees right through him. He's a blatant bully, the devil who turned me into a surreptitious one. And now we're stuck sharing the same off-campus apartment for our entire freshman year. Living together means new rules, no boundaries... and a tension I never expected. The closer we get, the harder it becomes to remember why we ever hated each other in the first place- and nothing threatens our pride more than that. *** Step into an adventure of passion, forgiveness, and second chances. This is Caden and Madison's story.Complete
Logan
*TW* Contains topics and scenes of sexual assault, self-harm, abuse.* "You know you loved every second of it," I can feel the tears welling up as well as the anger building up within me. I stare at him for a while before I have to turn away from his hungry gaze. "Look I just came here to tell you that I forgive you for what you did back in Cali and I'll take you back," "You forgive me?" I yell. "I did nothing to you. You raped me! You fucking raped me! You have no right to come here and tell me that. You. Forgive. Me. You traumatized me. What you did to me tore me up inside and was eating away at me until I tried to kill myself. And when I told people they didn't believe me. I had to listen to so many people talk about how great a guy you were and how I clearly just regretted sleeping with you. You are a monster. You made me hate myself for something that was never my fault. You have caused me so much pain and suffering," I pause to take a deep breath. "So you don't get to come here to my school and tell me you forgive me. You don't get to make me feel bad about coming forward. The only thing I regret is ever thinking you were a good person." _____________________________________________ Logan Young is a 16-year-old girl about to start her senior year in a brand new town.

**WARNING** ~contains explicit content that may not be acceptable to all viewers. discretion advised~ "No no no no..." My words trailed "NO!!" I screamed, pulling harshly at all my restraints, attempting to get free, hearing the harsh clank of metal on metal with every movement. Colder than the table beneath me, chills ran through my body. This couldn't be happening, please. A sadistic laugh rang through the room and my head fell in defeat as my eyes squinted closed, not wanting to see his face. "Yes, actually." I felt his disgusting, filthy hands trail down my arms. I could feel him leaning forwards, moving himself closer to me. I couldn't bring myself to open my eyes, so I just lay there, waiting for what I knew was to come. "You're mine now, mut." His voice made my body tense more than it already had. The way he sounded so angry. So possessive. I dared myself to speak, "W-what ar-are you gonna d-do to me?" My voice shook and wavered so much in my fear that it was numb to my ears. Alpha Dave let out a low, calloused chuckle that sent chills throughout my body.

Consequences
They grew up together before they knew what love was. Before jealousy had a name. Before goodbye had a weight. August King and Kylie Jenner - best friends since the beginning. One destined for the spotlight, the other for the shadows. One heart learning how to love, the other learning how to protect. She was the girl who always had Kylie's back - protector, best friend, home. Kylie never understood why it hurt to see August with someone else. August never planned to fall for her best friend. But love doesn't wait for permission. Then came the night that changed everything. A confession. A kiss. A love too deep to deny. They crossed the line. First touch. First love. First everything. Then Kylie pulled away. The girl August loved disappeared behind fame, silence, and other faces. Tyga. Travis. Names that filled the world but never her heart. And August stayed, even when it broke her, because protecting Kylie was instinct. Then came the last straw - a pregnancy that wasn't hers to hold. August stayed as long as she could, until staying became too painful. And so she left. The world thought August disappeared. Only Kendall knew she'd enlisted in the military - vanishing into war and silence. Kylie found out too late. She broke down, realizing too late the love she'd thrown away. But when the person you love is gone, all you can do is pretend to live without them. Ten years later, fate intervenes. A party. A single glance. A fire reignited. This time, Kylie won't let her go. August is caught between the past she ran from and the future she never believed she could have. But one thing never changed - the way they burn for each other. Exes want her back. The past wants its due. And the consequences of every choice they made now stand between them. But this time... August won't run. Kylie won't let go. Because some love stories don't end - they pause. And when they return, they come back as fire.
