A picture with a twist
You see, my paintbrush is my razor
And my canvas is my wrist.

A fountain shall appear
And with this flowing fountain
My problems disappear."

Best Life
After her life reaches new lows, Katie moves on to try and make a new start. Her grief follows her and her unbridled anger threatens to take an even tighter grip on her life. Until she meets Adam. Can he show her a better way to handle her grief? Can she learn to trust him? Will his mesmerising smile be enough? Will she discover what having the best life really means? ________________________________________ I have issues. Lots of them. But I'm mostly angry. I'm too much for most people. Just the way I fucking like it. It's much better for everyone to just stay the hell away from me. My safe happy angry life. So why does the universe insist that we keep crossing paths? And why does he insist on fucking smiling at me every single time? ________________________________________ I have to admit, when I first laid eyes on her at the bar, I could barely breath. She was stunningly beautiful without even trying and although she left without saying a word, the way she looked at me with those pretty eyes had me hooked and wanting to be able to see her again. I wondered about the who, what and why she felt like she needed to run like that. Her obvious defence tactic is that angry scowl she wears like armour, protecting herself from any harm and dissuading anyone from attempting to get too close. I plan on getting as close to her as fucking possible, if she'll just stop running.Complete
Immortal (boy x boy)
My life has always been terrible. I was always bullied at school. I don't know why, it just seemed that people didn't like my presence. The guys would beat me up and I'd get in trouble when I defended myself, for the teachers never saw what they did. The girls would trick me, making me think they liked me and laughing at me because of it. I was always in the principle's office for one reason or another, but I wasn't a bad student. I actually got really good grades. To make matters worse, my mother wanted nothing to do with me. She'd lock me in the basement, sometimes for days, with no food or warmth. My father would then sneak down and beat me before raping me. So, naturally, I wanted to die. But, for some reason, I can't die. No matter what I do, I can't stay dead. The thing I want more than anything is far out of my reach. Why can't I just die? Warning: mention of rape, suicide, and abuse. Also, this is a boy's love story.Complete

He chased after her, for a friendship, wanting to heal her, but she might be his cure.Complete
Maybe
An internal voice whispered, "Call him." But I chose not to. I dismissed it once more, saying, "He never liked me anyway." Yet the dilemma lingered. "But maybe he does. The way he looks at you... it's different." Out of nowhere, he glanced my way. My heartbeat quickened, sending shivers down my spine. I averted my gaze, pretending to look around. "Has he noticed me? No, wait-oh my god." --- After switching high schools, Nina discovered a new way of life. She fell in love, made wonderful friends, and everything seemed perfect. But Ethan-a popular boy who never focused on anyone but her-was the object of her hatred. He was always there, always keeping her safe. He used to annoy her endlessly. She hated him deeply. Until she didn't. For a while, she was content with her high school experience. That is, until something mysterious turned her world upside down. Forced to move to a new city, Nina had to cut ties with everyone she once knew. Eight years later, fate brings her face-to-face with him again. "Ethan..." He's the key to everything-the truths she never knew. When she was lost in the dark, he always held the light. But now, things are different. She despises him. He's colder than ever.
