All Maia wanted was to see her parents again, but that would never happen. 

   Two years ago, Tiffany and Richard Lyson had gone missing and left a grief-stricken fifteen-year-old daughter, an immense fortune, and a global company that had nearly burned to ashes in their wake. 

    Now, Maia manages her parent's business, battles with her vivid trauma and a faceless stalker and struggles to right her twisted life that hangs in shambles. Maia wants three things, even though one of them she knows is impossible: to have a normal life free of the stifling media, see her parents, and do something with her life. 

       But as Maia pretends to be fine and over her parent's suspicious disappearance, she finds herself waist-deep in hidden society riddled with secrets and lies that are the only strands holding it together. Nerveless, even with the weight of nearly everything resting on her shoulders, she discovers a bond that not even she can resist, however hard she might try.


My parts are similar to that of a paper nov, and so many chapters are in a single part. They'll be about nine or more in one part, so don't think it's like a super short story!

HIGHEST RANKING: 303 IN SCIENCE FICTION Isaac Crowley is your average 15 year old boy. He is a sophomore in high school, plays sports, and hangs out with his friends. Everything in his life is in control, and he knows that he has a bright future ahead. Then the dreams start happening. His best friend Lucy gets hit by a car. He dreams it, and then, it happens again two days later. He tells his parents, his friends, anyone that he can, but they all think that it's just a coincidence. These dreams begin to happen regularly, and the mounting suspense drives Isaac crazy as he tries to diffuse the situation inside his dreams, find someone that he can trust, and prove to his parents that something's wrong. But he spirals further and further down the rabbit hole, and creates a web of lies. NOTE: Well, I just published the story, and It's on Amazon, with this link: http://www.amazon.com/Lucid-Ari-Liam-Lohr/dp/069260765X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1452182800&sr=8-1&keywords=Ari+Lohr This story will probably become just a preview, so I can sell the book. Anyways, thanks for all of your support, guys! I really appreciate it. Once again, thanks for supporting me in the whole process of this book so far. You guys are the reason that I do this. ANOTHER NOTE: Readers, this book's name has changed to "Lucid." I thought that it was more fitting of a name. What do you think? THIRD NOTE: If a chapter is marked "Revised," then I am completely done with it and will probably not update it again.

''There is only one thing crossing my mind right now. If he hates me so much, then why the hell is he kissing me back?'' ----------------------- Emma White has always been kind of a loner. Her mother died giving birth to her and her father never really cared, always working in his successful company. That's why she decides to go to a college away from home, something she's been dreaming of since she can remember. However, what happens when at her very first day on campus, she crosses path with Noah Allen? He is rich, popular, cold, rude and a player just to start with. No surprise she calls him Mr. Grumpy. What is driving her insane though is that he's only too cold when it comes to her. After some not so pleasant moments and lots of glares, she tells herself that the best is to stay away from him, but it won't be that easy. After a disastrous kiss and hidden jealousy, she finds herself deeply involved into what is this frustrating boy. Add to that the fact that he is her roommates' childhood best friend and you can see drama from miles away. Noah claims to hate her ever since they met, and he doesn't mean her first day of college. He remembers her just fine from a couple of years ago and all the feelings are back. He knows she doesn't remember him and he'll use this as his leverage to do what he has to do. It's what he promised his father and himself, even if it means he has to pretend to care for her. All he cares is his family business. At least it's what he tells himself, until the feelings start getting too mixed and he ends up thinking of her more than he should. Maybe it's not all about business after all. He knows their history started before she even knows, what he didn't expect was for her to be so different from what he has always believed.
