It's true that everyone has a story. It's also true that everyone judges someone before they know them. Well, this is true for me. I am Elena Brooks and no one knows the story behind my permanently sad expression. The people who don't know me personally, makes fun of me because of my abusive and drunken mother. They don't know what happens behind the closed doors of my home though.

They don't know how sad I really am; how I’m hurting in the inside because they don't care. I didn't think the end of my senior year could get any better because luck wasn't something that was on my side until I met Christopher Brie. I also didn't think that he would be someone to take interest in my average features, but for the first time in my life, my dreams came true.

	With the help, support, advice and friendship that Christopher gave me, I can finally say that I was becoming a Brand New Me.All Rights Reserved

Eyes on You by miss_oline

I was blind for almost my whole life..Yeah I couldn't see anything but I'm certainly not weak. I met a man with deep-beautiful voice that held my attention. Yes, I was attracted to him! But he was a perverted jerk! We always bumped to each other and one things lead to another. After finally I could find a donor for my eyes, I looked at the mirror and looked at the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen. And also the eyes have the memories of certain man that keep flashing through it. I felt the love of the owner to that person. My heart kept beating fast whenever I saw that person. Who was he? What happened to the real owner of the eyes? What kind of emotion that could make the eyes hold onto the memory so strongly? How about Rosie and Matt? Meet Rosie and her journey in her life and love only in Eyes on You. Enjoy it :)

Man Like Me ✔️ by atprawita

When everyone thinks you're nothing but a heartless person, how do you feel? When everyone judges you the first time they see you instead of getting to know you first, how do you feel? When you're labelled for things that they don't even know the reason behind your doing, how do you feel? When everything and everyone basically hates you, including luck and fate, how do you feel? It sucks, isn't it? Well, welcome to my life That's an everyday thing for me #25 in #loveisreal [03.08.20] #550 in #smith [03.08.20] #24 in #loveisreal [06.08.20] #21 in #loveisreal [19.08.20] at_prawita 1st April 2020

When He Strangled Her--a story about love by shishalola

What if your success is attributed to something or someone wrong? What if you can't appreciate who you are today without giving credit to an abuser? What if the abuser is your father and the inflictor your mother? Would you still call the place you grew up home and their affection love?

Fix Me, I'm Broken by Ana11e1y

Walking into an empty house is normal to me. I guess I got tired of saying 'I'm home' when nobody is home to reply. It wasn't always like this. I remember when our family was close. Now we don't see each other any more. We don't talk to each other. We don't eat with each other. We don't ACKNOWLEDGE each other. This all happened after my 'Mother' killed herself. My father blames me. This is my story about how I learned to not count on anyone else but myself. I'm broken. I'm used. No one can fix me. But when the New Boy in town tries to fix me, everything will change. Good change or Bad change, I don't know. Only time will tell. I want to enter this story in the #Wattys2015 please help me out and vote and comment on my story. I'll really appreciate it!!! #Wattys2015 COPYRIGHTED Â© 2014 BY Anallely ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Â®

Altered by LuellaOpal

Have you ever met someone who alters the course of your life? For good or for bad, they've come in, given and taken, and then- BOOM! Your life was never the same. There's always a change, an altering of reality. When you meet those people, the reality that you've known your whole life is suddenly gone and a new one has taken its place. When those moments happen, there's no going back. You can try to return to the way things were but nothing, and I mean nothing, can take you back to exactly how it was. That's what happened to us. I think that's why we're still trying so desperately to get back to some sort of normalcy. Four years later and we're still on the ground, crawling, in search of the happiness that was lost that June. Summers will never be the same. Midnight walks through my neighborhood will never be the same. Field parties with bonfires and loud music will never be the same. I still don't know why you left and what lead you to the decision you made. What I do know is that we're here. We're alive and we're pushing forward to the future. A future that you're not a part of. But in some ways, I'm glad you're not a part of it. I just wish it wasn't like this. *** TRIGGER WARNING*** SA, abuse, suicide, substance abuse, and mental illness. This is a complete story that is much like life; fast, full of surprises, and not always how we want it to be. This has been a project of mine for over three years. It was self-published on Amazon, but after some issues in publication, I decided to just upload it on here. I hope you fall in love with these characters like I have. The friends in this story are trying to make names for themselves, figure out who they are, who they can trust, how to love, and how to separate themselves from a restrictive community. As in any coming of age story, they will experience growing pains... but will they survive them before its too late? PLEASE READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS.

Beautifully Broken by prettiestoflies

"You shouldn't need to drink to try and drown your feelings Kayla. I've watched the people around me do this all my life and it doesn't fix anything." "I know it won't fix anything, but for right now it helps me forget" "You can't keep running away or hiding. In the end it all catches up." "You sound like you've been through this before." "I guess you could say that." "You want me to open up to you, but are you ever going to open up to me? I want to get to know you Tyler, but you are so closed off. You know why I got knocked over by that wave? Because I was watching you, I was watching your face and seeing how free you felt riding that wave. It's the only time I've ever seen you let go. You know that someone hurt me, but I think you have been hurt too. When you're ready to talk, I'll be waiting. Maybe we can help each other." "Maybe I'm not worth getting to know" he replied. "And maybe I'm not worth you trying to save me either. Or maybe I am" With that I got up and left him to think about what I said. I put my cards on the table, now it was up to him to make the next move. ******** A year ago, Kayla had it all, doting parents and a relationship with her older brother that others envied. By the end of junior year that changed, she's left broken after a series of events in her life, but she is determined to hide her pain from her friends and enjoy the summer. That is until she meets Tyler, who can see right through the hurt. He has his own secrets though and isn't ready to let anyone in. Together they will either fall apart or fall together.

Hunting the Fairy Tale by MaggieOHighley

This story is my happy place; I do not plan on ever finishing it. It will go on and on like a soapie. Might break it up into volumes later. "Grab a bunch of broken misfits, chuck them in a tribe, add some glitter and loads of weird-as garbage, voila, you've got yourself a fairy tale... kinda... just... you know... minus the fairies..." Paisley Davenport ♫ When Willow Mayfair's life falls apart, her mother brings her to Briar Cove, the small coastal town where she grew up. Living with Rebecca's childhood friend, a new world filled with love, excitement, and friendship opens up for both of them. For everybody who also dreams of a fairy tale and won't care if the "knights" were a little dirty. Genre: Slice of Life/Romance/Humour This is a slow-burn journey through love and life, filled with an array of beloved characters, their sad moments, happy moments and a multitude of bat-sh#t crazy moments. P.S.: This is not a fairy tale... Thank you: Micaela, for helping the characters take on a life of their own and encouraging me to keep on writing. Phillo, for not minding reading girly stories... if it's to help your mom. Jeandré, your weird-as sense of humour and quirky feedback inspires me and keeps me going. ♫ This is a work of fiction.

Me, Love, & Secrets by XandriaRen

Ruby Dominguez knew all about how her father treated her mother. If she stepped in to help, she would get the same treatment. They couldn't leave. They were trapped in a reality no one would ever want to be apart of. Ruby looked forward to her vacation in France, where she'd spend the summer with her cousins. What she didn't know was the cost of leaving her mother behind. Ruby meets an old friend who has changed for the worse. He's manipulative and knows he can get her to do anything for him. Even after seeing the warning signs, Ruby agrees to be in a relationship with him, locking herself into her own little world. A world that seemed a bit too familiar to her. ©️ 2022 Xandria Revised & edited Start date: Aug 4, 2022 End date: Aug 17, 2022
