The Bad Boy Saved Me
Do you ever wonder what life would be like if it were a movie? Or some sappy romance novel that you wish your life could be like but it's not? Sometimes you may even get to caught up in the fictional world that you don't realise it IS fictional. Then when you do realise life isn't what you convinced yourself it would be, there is only one possible outcome. Depression. Which may lead to anxiety, self-harm, low self esteem, and worst of all, losing the people you love. Life works in weird ways. Not just for you but for others too. Take Cassidy Rivers for example. Her life is far from perfect. No parents, over protective big brother, few friends, and Asher Norman, the bad boy who won't stop picking on her. Could life get any worse for Cassidy?Complete
FORM
In a world where skin color determines your role in society, a girl is born. Too dark to be noble, too Blue to be common, she is destined to live in limbo. Only the raw power of her curiosity can save her world.. oh, and the devil too. This is the first of three stories I've written in a series about development and growth in some kind of metaworld beyond time. (the other two are partially planned and partially written) I have no formal training and seriously question my abilities as a story teller, but I can dream big dreams and so I'll try and share them with you, as well as I can. When I wrote this almost ten years ago I set out to write something I'd never read before. Some of the things I've read since have made me realize just how hard that goal will be to attain.Complete
THAT FIRST BREAK (Broken Redemption Prequel 1)
Choosing her cost me everything I'd ever loved... including her. I had everything a guy could ask for, a loving family, the perfect small-town life, and a promising future I had worked hard for. It should have been enough. She was off-limits, my parent's best friend's daughter, practically my sister. I fought my feelings, pretending our soul-deep connection didn't exist. When she confessed she felt the same, I pushed her away, believing our friendship mattered more than temporary infatuation. That she agreed should have come as a relief, but it left me with this void I didn't know how to fill. It's what drove me to the bonfire that night. Right there, with our friends as witnesses, I claimed her. Told her I loved her and made her promises I shouldn't have made. Hours later, it all came crashing down in a whirlwind of fire and ashes. That one split-second choice to go after a girl that wasn't meant for me cost me everything I loved. I never should have crossed that line or given in. It's why she'll forever be my greatest love and deepest regret. This tragic story is the beginning of our end...

Seventeen-year-old Adaria Feur is extremely confused when she wakes up in a room with no memory of how she got there, no memory of the powers everyone keeps telling her she has, and not a clue of how to survive a prestigious academy that is actually training teens into becoming agents for a secret organization called F.E.A.R. However, the thing that worries her most is the pair of amber eyes she keeps seeing in her dreams. They're so beautiful, familiar, warm... but dangerous. And she knows that they hold her whole world, whether she likes it or not.Complete
Undeniable Fate
She looks up at me, her eyes on fire, "Asher, give me one good explanation on why you won't let me leave!" I step forward, and she takes a step back, her back pressing against the wall, trapped. "Come on, kitten, I know you don't really want to leave," I state. Her eyes narrow, "what makes you think that?" I smirk, "stop pretending you don't want to kiss me right now." ************************************************** Asher Bates is the bad boy and underground fighter, and Soyer Hill wants nothing to do with him. He's not used to being told no, and he won't let Soyer be an exception to that. But will his stubbornness and her denial cause them to hate each other more or will it make them fall? (**warning my first story written in only a guy's POV so it's a little rough, but don't let that stop you from reading it**)Complete
