Cara Williams has always been, well, unlucky, to put it lightly.
Her parents divorced when she was only 5 years old, after her father failed to pay off his debt he was already in when her mom and him married.
Cara has also never been the "popular" type, burying her nose into books instead of drama. Despite being very athletic, nobody pays any attention to her at school, and frankly, not at home either. With your mom working night shifts and always being hungover, how are you expected to get any attention?
To fulfill her extra time, Cara has turned to training her mini pony Oreo, the only possession she has left from her dad, and the only one who seems to care.
One day, while fetching the mail, Cara finds an old envelope in her mailbox addressed to her. Inside, she finds a letter written by someone who seems to have their own share of problems. The writer remains anonymous, but gives Cara something to think about. Who is the writer, and will Cara ever know?
Or will she only wonder?

It was just her and the small, easy life she had. That was until everything had gone down the toilet. That was until her senior year had started.. ~♦~ Monsters are just everywhere, Only a few people are trustworthy. Would you be my savior if I'm lost there? 'Cause with all the greed, there's left no mercy. At some point I'll be so hopeless, At some point I'll get that feeling, That feeling when trying's Worthless, Doors are closed, I'm barely breathing. I need the light, I need a guide, I'll do things with all my might, Smiling is hard, life's not so "cute", You scream and yet, the screams are mute, When lies, evil and mistakes take all the love away... When asked how you feel it's always "I'm Okay," All the hope you had, got lost in the darkness, You're heartbroken, you feel so hopeless... Crying in the silence is the best you can. Everything has changed in a blurry time span... Would I be able to find true Love? Would I be able to ever again Trust? Be My Savior, Please Don't Be late... Give me true love...

Riley and the Boxers | ✔️
Imagine losing your family. You would be devastated, heartbroken and empty, as if you've lost everything in your life, right? Well that was exactly what happened to Riley Coleman... Except she literally lost everything. After her parents died in a deadly shipwreck, her rented house was given back to the owners and she was forced to move out. By law, a sixteen year old girl couldn't live individually, right? She still had school to finish, things to learn and a future to plan. So she was permitted to live with her closest relative, Aunt Elva. But what if Riley's Aunt had always thought Riley was a male? In fact, the only reason why Elva accepted her with grace was in hope that Riley would become a boxing champion, just like the seven other boys living in her mansion of a house - or should I say, Boxing Training Institute? So when Elva's assistant found out Riley is, as a matter of fact, a female, he bent down onto his knees and begged her to save the company's name by disguising herself as a boy. But little did Riley know that every single boy had a mysterious secret yet to be revealed. Nevertheless, what's a girl gotta do? Man up of course! And let the chaos begin. ~ © COPYRIGHT NavyCoffee on Wattpad. All rights reserved.Complete
