Adrian was supposed to be their miracle child-the one they chose when they couldn't have their own. For two years, he believed he was loved. Then his mother became pregnant. Then came the bottles. Then came the fists.
Now Adrian is nothing more than a shield. A boy with scars across his body and rage burning in his chest, standing between his violent parents and the three little sisters who depend on him for everything.
He'll take every blow, every insult, every wound. He'll fight, endure, and bleed if it means they can smile. But as his sisters grow, and as his temper grows darker, Adrian must face the truth:
The world may fear the man he's becoming.
But without him, his sisters may not survive at all.

I Hope He Loves Me [Rewriting]
For six years, he didn't know I existed. Now, he does and he's not handling it very well. Not quite a tale as old as time, but somewhere along those lines when Mommy left Daddy while she was pregnant with me. After being in debt for six years, she finally had the money to find our way back to Daddy. But will he handle it well, seeing me for the first time; Not knowing I had ever existed? Will he forgive Mom? As I grow, I ponder the thought of him ever letting go of grudges and abandonment issues. Will he ever love me? I hope he does. Author's Note: Date: 10/27/2020 I wrote this when I was fifteen which is almost five years ago. I've GROWN as a writer from this soap-opera type of narrative. But I will publish and share this as a message to myself and to whoever sees this. We all start somewhere. We all have our cringy beginnings, and this beginning is a reminder of what I rose from.Complete
My Brother, My Father
When their mother dies and their father walks out the same day, 18-year-old Caleb is left holding his baby sister-born with one arm and no idea what she's lost. Desperate to keep her out of the system and away from the ghosts of their past, Caleb makes a choice: he becomes her everything. Her home. Her protector. Her "Dad." Years pass. To the world, they're an odd pair. To her, he's always been "Daddy." But behind the locked doors and drawn curtains, Caleb is unraveling-haunted by the abuse he suffered growing up, and terrified the past will catch up with the only person he loves. As suspicions rise, secrets come to light, and the fragile world they built begins to fall apart, a devastating truth emerges: love alone may not be enough to save them. A harrowing, heart-wrenching story of trauma, survival, and the family we choose, My Brother, My Father explores what it means to be broken-and how far we'll go to protect the ones who make us whole.Complete

SHADOWS OF BROTHERHOOD
He wasn't the favorite. He wasn't the golden child. But he was the one who bled. When everything around him begins to crumble-family, love, and the secrets of a buried past-Ryan is forced to face a darkness he thought he'd left behind. What happens when the person they never really understood... becomes the only one who can save them? But saving them comes with a price. And some prices leave scars that even time can't heal. A story of sacrifice, forgotten memories, and a boy who was never supposed to be the hero. The boy they misunderstood. The one who laughed the loudest to hide the silence inside. The one who acted tough because no one noticed when he was gentle. The one who was always "too much"-too angry, too lost, too broken to fix. He was the black sheep. The storm in a house that only wanted sunshine. The one they blamed but never truly understood. They didn't know he cried himself to sleep at night. Didn't know he whispered "I'm sorry" to the shadows of parents he lost too young. Didn't know he carried the ache of abandonment in his bones every day. And when he finally found the truth-when he discovered who murdered them- he didn't hesitate. Not once.Complete
