Something was triggered inside me the moment we got that call about mum. She left when I was 7 years old, I'm almost 24 now. I haven't seen or spoken to her in 16 years. I thought all hope I had of her coming back had faded, but that call lit something inside me, something it shouldn't have.
I thought I had control over my life. I had no idea how wrong I turned out to be. A shadow from my past haunts me, torments me, has me in it's grip, and yet, I am unable to let him go.

Contractual Obligation. (Editing)
Due to my infuriated state, I drove like a mad man and almost got into trouble with the authorities. Fortunately I solely got a slap on the wrist, perhaps the cop that had me pull over was having a great day. Instead of going home, I drove past my house, and headed straight to the bar. The intention was to drink my problems and the rage brewing inside of me away, but I actually fought and annihilated the demons that tempted me to drink alcohol again. I got home late, and peculiarly I wasn't famished but my wife had cooked so I felt compelled to eat. "Is your hands not working or something?" She asked, after I ate and left the plate on the sink. "You want me to work them on you?" I asked, headlessly. "No stupid. I want you to wash your plate after eating." She gritted her teeth, folding her cute hands into fists and if I wasn't so mad at her I would've found it stimulating. "I have a wife for a reason. She's able and willing." "Bullshit!" She sneered. "I'm assuming the plate is still dirty then?" "No." She lowered her voice. "So what is your fucking problem?" I asked, firmly. "My problem is you having shit to say to me yet choosing not to say it." she crossed her amrs, her gorgeous face painted with anticipation. That's when it dawned on me that my wife was gorgeous to me, no matter what state I was in. Literally and figuratively. "Fine." I took slow steps towards her. "I don't know if you've noticed but I don't have anybody. My dad is a dick with herpes, my best friend is a dick intoxicated idiot, and I cut my brother off. I guess I may have been a dick too to a certain extent. My point is that you're my only ally and I can't afford to have you as a weak link." I concluded sternly, and tears started streaming down her face, making me want to take a steel knife and shove it in my chest.Complete

Ma Belle Rose :|{2.0}|: Lafayette X Reader [Discontinued]
{WARNING: THIS STORY ISN'T TECHNICALLY "COMPLETED" AND HAS BEEN LEFT ON A HUGE CLIFF HANGER! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!!} Authors note: Hello! I wrote "Ma Belle Rose" over the course of a year and a half, and I've worked very hard on it. I would like to note that this book is a reboot of the original, and I only re-edited some of the first few chapters. So like half of the story is kinda shitty grammar-wise lol. I will not be updating or finishing the story because I stopped writing this a few years ago, so my interest in it has faded away. My sincerest apologies to you hardcore Hamilton fans out there. :,( Anyway it's still pretty good, and there's a lot of chapters, so I encourage you to read anyway and please enjoy!!! (Hi, its currently being edited by yours truly, @On_cloudneuf . maybe I'll make it out alive to write an ending! - Nov 16th, 2020) ------©©©©=====××× You crumbled the night you lost your mother to pneumonia. She loved you and your half brother B/n more than anything in the world. She'd always been kind, supportive, and very loving towards you both, and the strongest woman you've ever known. As you held her hand on the side of that dirty bed frame, she touched your tear stained face, and whispered to you loving words, before she passed away. Each night you missed her more than the last, but that wasn't the only reason you cradled yourself to sleep every night. The days got tormenting in the worst ways possible. Your maniac step father never liked you, and the only reason he tolerated your being was because he loved your mom. You were in the way of keeping her to himself. Now that she was gone, he put the weight on your shoulders, punishing you in horrid ways. But it wasn't long before you heard about the revolution. It was the only way to escape the mess that you considered your own life. And with the support of your brother, you were off.Complete

Blue Hair and Bruised Knees
My life used to be pretty boring. Everything was average. Normal family, normal looks, normal house, normal job, normal life. The only non-boring aspect of my life was my best friend which was only because she always managed to mess it up somehow. I didn't really mind much because it kept things interesting. That is until she disappeared leaving me to care for her fatherless child with nothing more than a few hundred pounds and a sorry note. She did ruin my old life. She ruined everything that I'd actually cared for. My parents hated the fact that I was 'throwing my life away' for a child that wasn't mine. Not to mention illegally. I dyed my hair blue in rebellion. My own way of saying "F*CK YOU!" ...They kicked me out shortly after. I couldn't find a decent job in the area and the rumors became so vicious that I just left and never looked back. Old life: Destroyed, unraveled, completely gone. Let's see how long my new life lasts shall we?Complete
Someone New ✓
"There comes a point where you no longer care if there's a light at the end of the tunnel or not. You're just sick of the tunnel." - Who I am doesn't matter. How I got here doesn't matter. What matters now is I'm getting help, right? That's what they tell me here. They tell me that the road to recovery feels like a terrible butt fuck, but the fact that you're on the path to begin with, is all that matters. So as I sit in this circle of fuck ups, I realize just how different I am from them. I didn't attempt suicide because my mother was a crack addict who didn't want me. My father wasn't abusive. I didn't have a sibling die in a car accident. I was never really bullied either. I attempted suicide because, for the first time in years, I thought I had found something that could make me feel again... and after not feeling much at all for far too long, perhaps I went a bit overboardComplete
