***this book contains suicidal thoughts and tendencies, may not be appropriate for younger audiences*** In which she looks for the purpose of life. Lily Carter's parents died in a car crash leaving her and Laura, girl was depressed long before her parents passed away and with all the problems turning up now, Lily felt more miserable - if that's even possible. With her journey to look for life's purpose and grab the small pinch of HOPE - which is ironically her second name -, will she finally snap at the pressure and finally end it all? or will a small light lit her darkened world of grief and loneliness? * "So you know. The little goth girl who gets bullied is indeed a mess. There's this mess in her head that eats her alive everyday isn't it? What to do now Kaden? Tell the whole neighborhood and recieve an award for taking out a crazy in this world?" I spit like vomit. His eyes warmed up as I finished, "Lily. It isn't like that" "What is it then? People stopped caring... they gave up, why aren't you?" I fought my tears. "Because I feel the need to care. Did Leigh hurt you? Did she hit you?" he finally noticed the unusual redness of my cheek. I don't like the way he told me he needed to care for me. I felt like an obligation, a responsibility that he is carrying and carrying leads to getting tired and when people gets tired, they give up. I don't want them to give up on me. But they will, so it's good not to make them care for me in the first place. "I never needed anyone. I stopped needing anyone before, why start now?" I uttered the words again. Why? There is nothing to fight for. No mama. No papa. No sister to love me. No one. So why would I waste my life and the time of others to fix what is already broken - and someone who doesn't want to be fixed? If I may add. Maybe I gave up. No, scratch that. I gave up a long time ago - when my parents died, my hope and purpose went away with them.

"You ungrateful bitch. I keep a roof over your head, and this is the thanks I get?" "You could have killed her," I retort, trying to muster up confidence that I don't possess. "What if she goes to the cops, Dad? That bruise on her face is enough to get you arrested and charged with assault." "What? You mean when she tripped over the mess you made in the kitchen?" His smile is so wicked that it chills me to my core. "She ain't going to the cops. Hell, she'll probably be back here tomorrow." "You're a bastard," I whisper, tears filling my eyes. "No wonder Mom left! She probably couldn't bear to spend another second with-" I'm pushed to the floor. I scramble backwards as he approaches me, his cheeks scarlet with rage, his pupils the size of needle points. In fourteen years, I've never seen him this mad. I've really done it this time. -------------------- (COMPLETED) Life is hard when nowhere feels like home. For Layla Dodds, there is only one goal: survival.

Ten Seconds Later is a story about Taylor Billings, an ambitious but naive eighteen-year-old who dreams of being a model. With a cookie-cutter idea of success in mind, Taylor works day and night to afford her lifestyle. Her only support system is her fabulous and flamboyant best friend, Stuffy, who interns at a fashion magazine and counts designers as his gods. Sooner than expected, with some manipulating and arm twisting, Taylor's dreams start becoming her reality. Her life becomes a roller-coaster and, before she realizes it, she's fired from her part-time job in retail, having an illicit affair with the head of her modelling agency, and has a bigger wardrobe than she has space for. But what Taylor doesn't realize is that big labels come with bigger problems. Soon, she's snapping at stylists, arriving late to shoots, mistreating staff, and meddling with the idea of cosmetic surgery. When ties are tested, Taylor finds herself looking for the right path, only to find that she seems to have lost all of her friends on her journey. In this story of success and fame, reaching to the top is one problem but staying there is a whole other crisis. When love, friendship, and loyalty shatter, Taylor will be forced to question whether this career is worth all the casualties.
