Clara moves to a small, forgotten town, desperate for a fresh start where no one knows her name or her past. But the quiet streets and the looming lighthouse on the cliffs seem to hold more secrets than she anticipated. As she navigates her new life, forging a bond with her first friend, Audrey, Clara begins to feel the pull of something darker. Whispers of the town's cursed history, the off-limits lighthouse, and an eerie presence watching her every move suggest her escape might lead her straight into danger. In a town where the past never stays buried, Clara may find herself facing more than she ever expected.

Will she ever forgive them for abandoning her? Will they ever be able to unveil her secrets? Where was she for all those years? This is story of a girl who was abandoned by her brothers when she was seven. Now, after 9 years, her brothers brought her back home. How will she deal with them, simultaneously dealing with the terrors that haunt her every night? Sneak Peak- Once we were out, I stopped and turned to face my blood relatives and said, "Okay, now that I am out you don't need to act anymore. Now, you guys can go back to your house and pretend that this never happened. I will go to my house and will make sure that we will not cross each other's path, even by accident." I was about to turn back when Ezekiel held my elbow, stopping me on my track. I immediately snatched my hand back glaring at him and said, "Do not ever touch me again." His eyes showed an emotion of hurt that I am sure I read incorrectly because one thing that Kensington brothers are incapable of was getting hurt by any outsider. And that was what I was. An outsider. Sensing the tension in the atmosphere Aldric took it upon himself to say whatever his brother was about to. "You are going with us." He spoke. One thing about Aldric Kensington was that once he has made his mind, there is nothing in this world that can change his decision. This is the very quality of his that made my life a living nightmare, and this is exactly why I hate him more than any of my brothers. "Let's go Athaliah," Ezekiel said this time. That name. No one has called me by that name in six years. "My name is Zahra," I corrected and continued, "And I am not going with you." #1 in running on 2/2/25 #1 in babysister on 15/12/24 #1 in brothersconflict on 27/12/24 #2 in abandoned #2 in broken #2 in abusing #2 in pastabuse #2 in nightterror #4 in olderbrother #3 in brokenfamily #5 in mafiaprincess #9 in siblings #34 in siblingrivalry #34 in littlesister #44 in ptsd #51 in misunderstood #59 in mafia

❝Do you realize how messed up we are, hiding our honest feelings just because we wanted to be stereotypically normal? It's bullshit. ❞ ***** Kirlia Hemmings is normal and she makes sure that she reminds herself of that fact, at least once every day. However, despite all her attempts, the entire universe makes her feel like an outcast for being brought up by a gay couple. Her dads are her life but since the arrival of puberty, the only thing she had ever acquired was a jar full of insecurities that made her vulnerable about her very awesome dads. Peter Hemmings and Noah Benedict, soon realise how their daughter was suffering because of their decision of being together and go against the societal norms. Infuriated and dejected, they collectively decide to go make her switch schools. Pride High School. A school was established for homosexuals and people who had been discriminated against based on their gender preferences. Kirlia, however, had a minute issue. She was straight and straights were despised in Pride High. Caught up in a mix of 'heterophobes', it's almost hard to dodge them without getting involved with 'The Scandalous Six', now seven, a gang of those who don't care about people more than baseless prejudices. Being scandalous and friendly, she gets a gang of weirdos who become her beam of sanity. But soon the fury of attraction and prejudices collide, making it almost impossible to run away from reality. How far would Kirlia go to get her piece of love? Or will she be restricted by the prevailing stereotypes? ***** ©sarcastic-mess/2022 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐝 :: June 2022 𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝 :: ???

This book is published on amazon.com. I put it on here for Wattpadders to read for free! Have you ever felt so much emotional pain that you just wanted to end it all? Have you ever felt so much physical pain that you thought death was nearer than you had hoped for? Maybe you have felt one, but not both, or maybe you have felt both. These poems were written for those who have felt pain like no other. You may be your own worst enemy, but you are also your own best friend. Sometimes, no one is there to help you get up off that floor, so it is up to you to help your own self. Once you find that you can take care of yourself, you can take care of and love others. Humans need love to survive. If we didn't have love, we'd all be robots and simply not human. The love doesn't have to be from a significant other. Maybe it's from a best friend or close family member? Just know that we are all in this game of life together. So, let's live it with love. I had entered the deepest depths of pain and agony. I had given up on my life. I tried to end my life, and I would have been successful. Three people saved me that day, at the end of 2017. First, was myself. I had to come to terms with who I was and turn it all back around. I had to lean on my Creator, who was my second life saver. Jesus came to my aid and saved my life after I tried to take it. The third person who saved me was my husband. Before we met I would have died, but he needed me just like I needed him. I am alive for him, for my two sons, for myself, and for my Heavenly Father. "I couldn't make it stop, Until I met my rock. So, here are my words of wisdom, "Pain reconciled by love" is my rhythm." There is hope. There is a purpose to this life. Pain Reconciled by Love is full of heartache, but also full of beauty. I'm still alive because there is something for me out there. I hope this is the beginning to something beautiful. For you and for me.
