Finding Home: Kotaro's Story

- Bab 10
Fifteen-year-old Kotaro never had the childhood he deserved. Born in Japan and raised in the United States, his parents' addiction left him with little more than junk food, an empty house, and a fragile body. His world feels small and hopeless - until a call to Child Protective Services changes everything.
Placed with Alexander and Darek Carson, a biracial couple who have long dreamed of raising a child, Kotaro finds himself in a home unlike any he's ever known. But trust doesn't come easily. He barely speaks English, struggles with food, and carries the quiet weight of depression and anxiety.
The one person who understands him is Acelin Poter, his boyfriend and closest friend, who helps bridge the gaps - translating language, emotions, and pieces of Kotaro's world. Together, they help the Carsons learn how to reach him.
As Kotaro slowly begins to heal, bonds deepen between families. Through patience, art, and unexpected love, Kotaro discovers that family isn't always the one you're born into - sometimes it's the one that chooses you.

Ace Of Spades (Complete Raw First Draft, Unedited)
This story sucks, don't read it! It's amazing how quickly your life can change. In a slow town like this, where nothing exciting ever happens, where nothing ever changes, one single moment can alter your life forever, for better, or for worse. Sometimes, we're lucky enough to be able to recognise these particular moments, and take a leap of faith, but, more times than not, they just happen without us even realizing what's going on until it's already too late. Tonight, a simple Saturday night, just like any other, would turn out to be one of the most defining moments of my life. Ace is living a slow life, knowing nothing other than drinking with his friends and the motorcycle club that raised him, waiting to reconnect with his father who has just been released from prison after a fifteen year sentence. Life is simple, though he thought. Until the night he meets Jenna, running from her haunting past and the man that she is desperately trying to escape. Ace is dead set on protecting Jenna, but, as she slowly learns to trust him enough to open up to, he finds himself landing in the middle of a human trafficking operation and a feud that goes way back, between the ringleader and his club. Suddenly, life doesn't seem so simple... Work in progress, especially the blurb! This story has content which may offend some readers. Mild coarse language! Physical and sexual violence! Lots of drug references! First draft! I don't own the cover image! I'm a disappointment to my family!Lengkap

Something Else Entirely
Jet Wesley learned early on in life that family doesn't always imply unconditional love and happily ever afters. He well and truly received a thorough education in the art of emotionally detached, addicted parents and brothers with few priorities in life apart from where to get their next fix. After spending his early teenage life getting himself into similar trouble to that of his parents and older brothers, Jet was welcomed in with open arms by a completely different type of family, one which saw a young and vibrant couple more determined than ever to teach him a whole new understanding of what it means to genuinely love and care about someone so much that it completely changes the course of your life. Still, at not quite eighteen, Jet can't shake the lingering connections to his biological family, who seem hell bent on reminding him of who he used to be and where he came from, despite all the effort he has dedicated to making positive choices for himself, his family and friends. When Jet learns that both his older brothers have been arrested for drug possession, driving under the influence and assault of a police officer, Jet has to fight to regain control of the life he has created with Ruben, Sadie and their son Madden, just as much as he needs to continue growing into the type of son, brother, friend and partner he can truly be proud of.Lengkap
HOTHEAD
Growing up in a toxic environment, sixteen-year-old Jay Foster has always had psychological problems, coupled with a quick temper. 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.Lengkap
