"If this isn't happiness, I don't know if I'll ever find it."

The flowers decayed and she watched as the memory of him decayed with them. 

Mia and Daniel were once happy, until he lost his job and then his mother. Turning to alcohol, Daniel became abrasive and closed off, eventually leading to verbal and physical abuse. 

One Tuesday, a bouquet of liles was left on Mia's porch. Then a letter. Then, Daniel was gone. Standing on the brink, the edge, her roots took hold of the ground and budded without him. She finds independence on her own terms. 

Until Mia's past begins to catch up to her.

The One Without Words by destacia

"Go ahead," I said, backing up against the pink wall of the shop. "Do something other than glare at me." I waited. One, two, three seconds... and nothing. I raised my chin at him. "You're boring me, mute boy." He stepped closer. Leaned toward me as his gaze burned into mine. Then... ❀ ❀ ❀ After three months in juvenile detention, it's time for Romy Pereira to help out with her family's flower shop. And it's not all bad... until they hire Jack Michel to work beside her. He doesn't speak, communicating with glares and scowls instead of words, and seems to be more interested in literal rocks than other human beings. And with an ex-convict mother, her friends drifting away, and the flower shop falling apart, the last thing Romy wants to deal with is Jack's attitude. She'll forever praise the day he screws up big time and gets himself fired, but until that day comes, it's mostly one cold-hearted girl, her silent (but still infuriating) coworker, and a whole lot flowers.

I'm Going Ghost.... by OpalHippocampus799

Why does it hurt? Why won't the pain go away? Why can't I let go? Why does everyone have sunshine while I can only see rain clouds? It's because you're human, and humans care. It's one of the great burdens of being one. Then I don't want to be human. Make it stop! Please. I'm going ghost... Housing Keeping Notes: Rights for the characters, lore, and plot go to Butch Hartman who started this fantastic story. Thank you very much. I only own the plot and characters which I design personally. Further, I should note that this story might be marked Mature as future chapters develop. While I don't intend to get too graphic, I will be addressing heavy themes.

His Name Is Michael by Nikkiesp01

This is a Discontinued series only because I am in the prospects of rewriting it. This is attempt 5 at writing the book and will live to show the progress in my writing. Update: The first rule of writing is to follow through and edit later. I discontinued this book because it was not well written, it was not planned out, and it was not consistent. Therefore I will continue to write it, for the sake of completion and giving Michael an end (in more ways than one) I will finish this. This book is no way indicative how the official rewrite will occur/end. Thank you, dear reader, for entrusting this lonely writer with your imagination and motivation. Enjoy.

Bleeding Love by everlastingwonder

I was abused by the person who I loved most. He gave me everything and I was too selfish to honor it. The beatings began to worsen and I did what only rational person would do. I ran away only to come face to face with a handsome man that would never leave my mind. He was gentle and kind, careful not to scare me away. My mind told me no, but my heart ached. I knew I was too damaged to love someone else. My secret could never leave me, it will only endanger everyone else. It was all too complicated, but Nick made it easier. My name is Aubrey Summers and the only thing I ever knew in a relationship was a kick to my head and a punch to the gut. I was guarded, but somehow, some way, he had managed to creep his way in and shatter everything within me. Copyright 2016©

Rebirth of Fa Wei Lan by harui30

I am dying - it was inevitable. The poison given to me over the course of several months have spread throughout my veins and seep through my bones. I was alone. There was not one single person to hold me, to comfort me, or to cry for me... I am all alone... NOTE from the writer: I'm an amateur writer so please overlook plot holes, grammar issues, or anything else a story is supposed to have. This is my original story so... as the saying goes "if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all".
