Beneath My Skin
Some things live where no one can see them. For as long as she can remember, she has carried a quiet emptiness inside her, a hollow weight that no one else notices. But when a shadow crosses the line from the mirrors in her room into her reality, everything changes. It is not just a presence-it is alive, learning, reaching, and it knows her better than she knows herself. What begins as subtle movements and whispers grows into something she cannot control. Reflections act independently. Objects move on their own. And the shadow begins to follow her outside, touching the world in ways no one can explain. Haunted by fear, loneliness, and the creeping knowledge that it is becoming a part of her, she must face the question no one can answer: is it a part of her mind, or has something real stepped beneath her skin? Beneath My Skin is a dark, raw, and emotionally charged psychological horror, a story about the things that hide inside us, the shadows that follow, and the fragile line between ourselves and the darkness we carry.

Love Misunderstood
I only ever met one man I'd call truly noble. He was a man who was misunderstood and worthy of the world, yet everyone saw him differently. That was until I saw his true colours. The more I caught his eye the more he noticed me. We would pass each other, I would always stare a little longer at his back, wondering his story. People used to move out of the hallways if they saw him approaching whereas people would come and talk to me. He kept to himself, I was never alone, he had no friends, I was friends with everyone, I never saw him talk to anyone I spoke to many. we were polar opposites. At least that's what I thought until that day in the library, that is where I will start this story. Everyone is different, I hate the word "different", I much prefer the word unique. Unique is the only way to describe him. This is not just a story about love, it is about helping two souls who act differently but are the same on the inside, it shows the messy parts that aren't shown in movies, the tragedy, and the comedy but most of all the sizzling romance between two broken people who became one. Who is this story about? Caden James. But this is not just his story, It is ours.Complete
