The Silent Rebellion of Avoidance

Penelope Elmwood would bury her gayness with cement shoes in the Pacific Ocean if she could.
Really, she WOULD because her own happiness ceases to matter when the reality of her being different COULD result in the complete loss of everything, she holds pride in: Her family, her friendships, ALL of it... So instead she avoids.
She could be a MASTER at it... She SHOULD be.
But it becomes a lot harder when the very thing, the very PERSON she wants to avoid is one of the few people she can NEVER truly get away from.

It's the year 398 of the Ninth Era, an age dominated by the Federation's authoritarian control and by the insidious influence of megacorps like Mercator Group. Human-piloted, mass-produced machines known as Frames define the battlefield, surveillance programs monitor your every move, and no one alive remembers what it was like before it got this way. It's in this tightly-wound, bloody ecosystem that four lives collide. The Knife, a mob enforcer with the ability to bend matter, ends up a courier for a piece of tech she's been trained not to ask questions about. Angela, a Frame Pilot Specialist with the Ministry of State Affairs, fights for justice only to find deafening silence. Grey, her teammate, just wants to keep the squad sane. Major Falwin, their superior, investigates a crime scene and finds a Knife-shaped ghost. Nobody has all the pieces to the puzzle-not until Frames drop, guns are pointed, and the nature of reality becomes a question mark. In this new, unrelenting conflict, there won't be any winners, only more devastation.
Heartbreak At Motel 7!
"Don't come to a strip club looking for love. That shit doesn't belong here." she warned. I knew that she was right. Still, I didn't accept her statement. "But...You're here." ⋆⋆⋆ I was a typical surburan girl before I had met her. She changed me. Whether that was for the better or for the worse is up to you. But ladies and gentlemen, as sure as I was that the moon and the stars would fill the sky every night to put the sun to rest, I was sure that the love of my life was a drugged out stripper. ⋆⋆⋆Complete
Growing Pains
In the day-to-day trenches of high school, it is almost the default-setting to believe we are the main character of our own coming-of-age story. This is not wrong. It's just ours isn't the only story there is. The jocks, the nerds, the cheerleaders, the losers, the stoners, the fangirls, the skaters. Everyone's the realest most important person in existence, all of them, at the same time, first-person narrators to their own stories, stumbling into each other's plot lines, defying the status-quo, catalysts to ups and downs. A deconstruction of all the high school tropes and cliches written over the years, a deep-dive into the psyche of students trying to finish high school while going through irrevocable self-discovery, the most improbable of connections, and the insufferable pains of growing up.Complete

But life is unpredictable, and after some bad events, her life is turned upside down. The once cheerful, bubbly, and always smiling girl is now a beautiful mess. Between nightmares, panic attacks, insomnia, and more, she starts hating this town she cherishes so much and everything that brings her memories. That's why she decided to leave and never come back again, at least until she is in a better state. After three years in France, she is back in her childhood town and decided that she will chase away her demons for good. She knows that she can't do it alone, she needs her family and her friends. And perhaps she will find peace and maybe more with the most unexpected person for her. *** "You're important to me, V. You're my first everything, and I don't want anyone else." "Do you say that to all your conquests?" "No. Because there are no others. It's only ever been you."Complete
