My name is Jasper Versailles.
And I guess this is my story, about how a certain someone practically ripped my entire life apart in a short span of months. And how the effects lingered for months, and months afterwards.
"There's a phrase, "the elephant in the living room", which purports to describe what it's like to live with a drug addict, an alcoholic, an abuser. People outside such relationships will sometimes ask, "How could you let such a business go on for so many years? Didn't you see the elephant in the living room?" And it's so hard for anyone living in a more normal situation to understand the answer that comes closest to the truth; "I'm sorry, but it was there when I moved in. I didn't know it was an elephant; I thought it was part of the furniture." There comes an aha-moment for some folks - the lucky ones - when they suddenly recognize the difference."
― Stephen King
tw: main focus of the story is an abusive relationship, (emotional, physical) will also have self-harm and suicidal thoughts (and attempts)

Beautifully Painted
[BWWM] I never expected my life to spiral like this. Once, I thought Tyler was the perfect guy-charming, sweet, the one who made me feel special. But when the guy I thought I knew turned abusive, everything changed. I found myself stuck in a toxic relationship, trapped in a cycle of manipulation and hurt. The one night I thought I could escape it all, I ended up in Aiden's room, a stranger who saw me for who I really was, not just a pretty face and a hot body. But Aiden isn't just any guy-he's kind, compassionate, and unlike any guy I've ever met. Now, as my abusive relationship threatens to swallow me whole, Aiden is the only person who makes me feel safe. But can I let go of everything I thought I knew about love? Or will I risk it all for something real? Even if it might cost me my life? Rankings #1abusiveboyfriend - 14/03/25 #1 bookworm - 22/03/25Complete
THE BAD GIRL'S BOY
Promiscuity is addictive. It's so safe. You are not at risk of getting hurt, physically maybe , But emotionally ? No And the emotional pain is by far the worst. I know this because I've experienced both. Physical pain, from my alcoholic father, sexual abuse from his friends. It hurt, it really did. I have scars to show. But let me tell you, the worst type of hurt is the emotional pain. That pain you get when after years of building a wall around yourself, you FINALLY let someone in. You let that one special person in. You bring down your walls. You give your heart. You let him hold your heart in his palms even though you know the risks. You have so many dreams and fantasies about being with this person forever. And he leads you on. It feels good But then he turns around and crushes your heart. He squeezes the life out of it and you feel pain that you never thought was humanly possible. You feel so much pain you can't breathe. And then , you become cold. You stop feeling. You have no heart anymore. You become heartless, promiscuous, bad, really bad. Yes , that happened to me. Ben did that to me. It hurt. It hurt too much. But now I'm safe . Because I'm the bad girl. The one who doesn't have a heart left to be broken.Complete

Evolution
There are a lot of things you don't really think about until they happen to you. Take rape, for instance. I always thought, "That won't happen to me. I have a boyfriend. I trust him. He would never take advantage of me like that..." I couldn't have been more wrong. Love in this day and age is often confused for manipulation and abuse. The warning signs are here. The things we say will tell us everything that is wrong. You are worth more than what you think you are. It's not your fault. If they tell you otherwise, get out. Burn the bridge. Always remember someone is waiting for you to walk into their life. Someone needs you. Someone loves you. Getting away from all of the wrong people and finding the right ones could save you. I can promise you right now that it saved me. These are the journal entries and selected poems from my first experience of love that left a unpleasant taste in my mouth- quite literally. I am putting this out for the whole world to see because I hope everyone will learn from my experience. People can see. We have no excuses to continue living our lives in ignorance. ...WARNING... HARMFUL THEMES INCLUDING MENTION OF SUICIDE, SELF HARM, AND RAPE. THIS HAS EXPLICIT CONTENT. RECOVERY AND AWARENESS IS THE PURPOSE OF SHARING. DO NOT READ IF THESE THEMES ARE OFFENSIVE OR HARMFUL TO YOU.Complete
Obey.
!!!Warning: Is very triggering. Lots of detailed descriptions of abuse*** "The only way out is through." When your life turns into a nightmare and something really horrible happens to you, you believe while it's happening, someone is going to burst in any minute and save you, you picture a loved one or even a heroic stranger; anyone to help you. Just like in every movie, book or tv show. Any minute now, they would come... Unfortunately, in real life, that just doesn't happen. No one bursts in to save you. No one speaks up to stop the horror happening to you. The nightmare continues on uninterrupted and you're forced to live through it, every second, until it's done. And still no one bares witness. Only you, and the one hurting you. NOTE: this is for anyone who has been through trauma and felt trapped, almost enslaved to your abuser....knowing help would not come. And saving yourself was the only option.Complete
Unwanted (BoyxBoy) ~Completed~
(WARNING!: DEPRESSING CONTENT, POORLY WRITTEN: READ AT YOUR OWN RISK) "I deserve just as much pain as she gives me." He said fully meaning it and crushing my heart all at once. "No you don't. You are just a broken person both inside and out and all you need is to be fixed. When you're fixed there is nothing but beauty deep in you." I told him truthfully as he looked into my eyes with his shining with tears. In that moment all I could do was feel my heart break for this beautiful boy. But something else was there and it was that I cared for him too. I was starting to fall for Andy. Before I could comprehend what was happening, I slowly leaned towards him and gave him a gentle kiss on his lips. It only lasted a couple of seconds, but it was enough to tell him that he wasn't alone. That he had me and together we could get through this. . *Attention:THIS STORY IS VERY VERY POORLY WRITTEN!!!!!! VERY VERY BAD!!!!!!!! It's gotten more popular than I thought it would be and for that I'm embarrassed because it's not my best work. You're free to be however critical you want to be on this<3Complete
Don't Call Me Crazy (boyxboy)
Sanity and happiness are an impossible combination. "You have no emotions, you don't feel, you don't empathize......and you don't love," he told me, his anger turning into sadness. "Your right," I replied with an empty smile. "And the worst part.....is that I can't help but love you." he said before pushing past me. Cameron Silverstone was never ordinary. He was popular but never liked. He's an outcast to put it lightly. Everyone suspects there's something wrong with him, but they have no idea. People often think he's heartless and doesn't care, and their right. His heart is anything other than warm. The day Joshua took a picture of him, is a day neither of them will ever forget.Complete
Torture In Silence (Kellic)
You don't know what it's like to live with people you don't know, to judge disgusting things you've never seen before, and have a master who makes you suck his cock when he's feeling in the mood. This wasn't my life. I didn't want any of this. I was forced to be here because I had nowhere else to go. The worst part is not knowing if I'll ever get out of here, and...and...I don't even have a voice to speak out against it. Five years...five years living in this dreadful place, four years of it with me not speaking. I'll never ever talk again after what I witnessed, and nobody, and I mean nobody will force me to speak. Not even my master. WARNINGS: -self-harm -rape -physical/emotional violence -VERY bad language -suicide and mentions of suicide Please don't read this if you feel like you're gonna get sick or harm yourself. I don't want my readers to hurt themselves or feel the same way as Kellin when he's telling his story. It's just a story, obviously not real! Don't take it seriously, please. ENJOY! =Melissa=Complete
Obsessed
"You are not going there and that's the end of our conversation." He yelled while tightening his grip on my wrist. I tried to free my wrist but no avail. "And why should I not?!" I argued. "Please Aria for the love of God, listen to me! It's not safe for you." He said but I wasn't going to listen to him. "Why do you care? Who are you to care? You're not even my boss now. So why-" "Because I love you God damn it! I love you! I care about you. That's who I am. I can't live without you." He paused and placed his hand on my cheek. "I am obsessed with you, with every little detail of you. I love you Aria!" He said softly and placed his forehead against mine. ********* Aria Mathews, with many dreams crushed, heart broken and scars countless, is still a sweet and simple girl who has the small hope of everything going right in her life. Losing everyone in life and having the only person in life dislike you, her life is pretty much the worst nightmare. Talking about Ashton King, with almost the whole world bowing before him and abundant power just in his hand, is a very robust and ambitious man. Happy and content with his life, he meets his love, his angel, his obsession. What change will she cause in his life? What change will he bring in her life?
