Bullied and broken, Naomi's life seemed destined for tragedy. She was fighting to be seen. But as the darkness closes in, she found the courage to bloom. She begins to learn the hard way that sometimes the only way out is to fight back.
can she heal before her past dwells on her shoulders and consumes her?

BulletProof {Being Rewritten}
Bulletproof: There is no better hell than high school. A time to live or die. A time to make or break your future. For Maria she had to survive same went for Sophia, Raymond and Jackson. But for Anya, Max, Noah living was the last thing they wanted to do. Life had taken its toll on these seven teenagers and it seems like fate was finally done with them. Embark on this short but saddening journey of how these seven teenagers deal with their life choices and home situations. Warning: BulletProof is a short story, meaning the book won't have more than twenty official chapters. BulletProof is also not edited which means I have not and will not get around to fixing the minor mistakes. For those of you who may or may not care, BulletProof is also not meant to cause TRIGGERS but this is a TRIGGER WARNING! There will be self harm, rape, cursing and so much more. And lastly, BulletProof is not meant to make people cry nor is it meant to have a happy ending. If you read, don't expect some godly miracle where everyone falls for each other and stays alive. It doesn't always work out that way. Now, this book is being rewritten as of October 12th 2018 - months after (possibly even a year) it was made and finished so bare with me if you are a new reader! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!!Complete

But one night something happens which finally pushes him over the edge, and as a result, he leaves his house the next morning with two things: his mother's gun and a plan. Living with a neglectful and drug addicted mother wasn't easy for Jay, and it definitely didn't help that his father abandoned the family while he was still a child. He harbored a hatred toward his parents, and that hatred extended to almost everyone and everything around him, producing a very troubled and damaged young kid. As Jay enters high school, he becomes very intrigued with one of his classmates. Kind of obsessed, actually. Her name: Mikayla Keeler. Mikayla is very unique, and like Jay, she doesn't seem to fit in with her contemporaries. Instead, the two of them keep each other company, and their friendship very quickly escalates into a romantic and intimate relationship. Despite having Mikayla, Jay's troubles continue to burden him. He and Mikayla are fighting habitually, his home life is still unbearable, and his time at school is hardly any better, made worse by a bully named Calvin. Their mutual dislike of one another leads to a lot of hostility, routinely leading to Jay being sent to his school's principal. One confrontation in particular goes much too far, resulting in Jay's expulsion from school. With everything seemingly piling up, Jay is very close to his breaking point, and late one night he is blindsided by the unthinkable, pushing him much too far and effectively planting in his mind a cruel and horrific plan for revenge.Complete
