Devina Maddison
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A senior in high school, she lives in what appears to be a happy home with her only known relative-her father. Neighbors wave and comment on how lucky she is to have such a "devoted" father. But they don't see what happens once the front door closes.
Behind that door, her life is ruled by fear. Her father's voice, calm and pleasant in public, turns cold and menacing in private. His anger is unpredictable-sometimes sparked by a missed chore, other times by nothing at all. He hits her with whatever's within reach: a belt, a bottle, or his fists. The bruises are common now, strategically hidden under hoodies and jeans.
The emotional wounds run even deeper than the physical ones. She no longer sees herself in the mirror-only a hollow reflection of someone surviving. The house may look happy to outsiders, but to her, it's a prison, and with every passing day, her hope for escape and happiness fades.
Arrow Gray
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The new kid in town arrived with a family of five-a picture-perfect group that immediately turned heads. He has two younger siblings who adore him, often racing into his arms after school like he's their hero.
Their home, a sprawling, modern house on the edge of town, is the kind most people only dream about-glass walls, a gleaming kitchen, and a backyard that feels like a private resort. Luxury cars sit in the driveway, but it's not the wealth that draws people in-it's the way they treat each other.
For him, love isn't a word that's spoken once in a while-it's in every gesture, every shared meal, every bedtime story told to his siblings. He may be new, but with a family like his, he never truly feels alone.
Will Devina finally get the chance to know real love?

Life had taken a turn for the better ever since my troubled brother was incarcerated for life. However, one day, a sense of unease crept over me and my best friend as we noticed a mysterious figure tailing us through the bustling town. "Ally, who's that man?" my best friend inquired, her voice tinged with concern. I scanned the area nervously, my heart pounding. "We should get out of here," I urged, seizing her arm as we hastily made our way through the crowded streets. Abruptly, I awoke from a disquieting nightmare, my screams ricocheting through the silent house. "Mom, there's a man chasing me in my dreams," I gasped out, my hands trembling. She attempted to soothe me, attributing the tumultuous visions to my overactive imagination. On one occasion, I inadvertently overheard my mom and aunt engaged in a hushed conversation, puzzling over what impending revelation they were deliberating. Eventually, I mustered the courage to confront the enigmatic man who had been shadowing me. "Why have you been following me? Who are you?" I demanded, my voice quivering with trepidation. "I am Aleekie Smith," he disclosed, leaving me dumbfounded. "You're the man from my dream," I whispered, the pieces falling into place. The drama unfolded further as I crossed paths with a former boyfriend adamant on asserting control, his aggression escalating to a perilous climax when he brandished a firearm. Feeling ensnared, I made a pivotal decision to extricate myself from the tumult, severing ties with everyone in a dramatic departure. Amidst escalating tension and conflict, an unexpected source of solace materialized in the form of my father, ushering the narrative into an unforeseen trajectory. To uncover the compelling trajectory of events that ensued, I urge you to continue reading. This is merely the entrancing prologue of the gripping saga that awaits.

The Boy Next Door
His faint laugh stopped me in my tracks, my body turning sightly to look at him again. "That was cute. Really, I loved it, but you know I can't just stay away." He said while using air quotations for the last part of his sentence. My narrowed eyes continued to shoot daggers at him, "and why is that, Grayson? Huh?" I asked in a mocking tone. He rubbed along his jaw while pulling in on his bottom lip, his head lightly shaking from side to side. "What?" I said louder, my patience long gone. "I live right next door," he deadpanned, "I'm not going anywhere. As far as I'm concerned we're gonna be seeing each other practically every day, so this whole thing about staying away just isn't going to work for you. I don't let things I love go so easily." A chill went down my spine as I watched him walk up the stairs of his porch, "sweet dreams, Cam." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Eighteen year old, Cameron Woods, is ready to start her senior year alongside her friends and boyfriend, Damon Valero.

Started:6/24/25 Ended: 7/1/25 > Wala akong gabay. Wala akong tinig na nagsabi kung tama ba 'yung ginagawa ko. Wala akong kamay na humila sa'kin palayo sa gulo. Iniwan ako ng nanay ko para sa ibang lalaki. At ang tatay ko? Lagi siyang wala. Abala sa trabaho, sa kumpanya, sa kung saan. Hindi niya alam na unti-unti na akong nawawala. Akala ko okay lang maging bastos, sumagot, maglayas, manakit. Akala ko normal lang maging ako-yung walang pakialam. Pero dumating siya. Tahimik. Palaging seryoso. Ayoko sa kanya nung una-masungit, preskong presidente ng school. Pero habang tumatagal, siya 'yung tanging tao na... pinagsabihan ako. Hinintay akong magbago. Tinuruan akong rumespeto. Hindi dahil kailangan-kundi dahil gusto niya akong matutong mahalin ang sarili ko. No one raised me... but you did. And now, I don't know how to live without you.Complete
