Sometime's I stand back, and wonder if life is created for that specific person. 

Maybe I was given the challenges I have, because someone out there knows I'm strong enough for them. 

Or maybe i'm not. Maybe i'm just one of those people who isn't supposed to make it. 

Not everyone can.

I will help you." âˆž Follow Madison Lockey on a journey to face her abusive past, the elusive present, and promising future.

To Us by Vimboxx

Like if you open your eyes or speak too loud they will just disappear and become one of those dreams you try so hard to remember but you can't? That is how i feel when i look at her, Kris. She has become so much more than an interesting girl, so much more than a gorgeous body, so much more than a girl i would mess around with for a couple of days. She is no longer a want, she is a need. i need to know everything about her, everything that makes her smile and everything that makes her cry. i need her to love me as much as i love her. I see the hurt in her eyes every time i look in her eyes, she tortures herself, her words are heavy with regret and self-blame and i want to be the one to save her from all of it, from herself. I want to be the one. PLEASE READ THE FIRST FIVE CHAPTERS AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT YOU CAN STOP. BUT I PROMISE YOU WILL LOVE IT!

Perfect Strangers by NightTime_Storiexs

Follow my Instagram for any updates and if you have any questions: @nikki_k123 Alex has been living the same life, with the same routine, repeating it every day. Every day is the same. The one thing she does look forward to is going to cafe de l'amour every morning on her way to school, where she sits and writes, all while seeing Carter Reed. The most popular boy at school who, surprisingly, prefers the solitary life. They go to the same cafe every day, sit at the same tables every day, and notice each other every day, yet are strangers who have never uttered a word to one another. And strangers they shall remain. Perfect strangers. But that's about to change. . . . . . I watched as he kept his eyes trained on the notebook in front of him where he aimlessly drew spirals and coils that surrounded each other, trapped each other, and suffocated each other. My eyes traced the movement of his pen, following each line he drew onto the paper. "Your tea." I snapped out of my trance and looked up, thanking Katy before she went back to the counter. I turned back and caught him looking at me. I expected him to look away and continue acting like I don't exist. Like he's always done and so have I. What I didn't expect was for him to walk right over and sit with me. "Hi, I'm Carter." PSA: This story is inspired by the Wattpad novel 'Caffeine' by @meddlingkids ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

Unnoticed by Clarabatc

This is a true story one that's difficult to read... a simple story that talks about some hard things. It's a story about a girl and her mind. Most of you will stop and look away now, thinking that it will be boring, and I'm not going to stop you from walking away. It's your decision. Life is full of those. Decisions, choices that we make which each change the course of our life. I recommend you read this book. It's not your typical girl meets guy story. No it has nothing to do with that, but it does show you something that I think to humanity is more important than that, and truly I am not saying this because I am the author but if you read this book I don't think that it is one of the decisions you will regret in life. It isn't easy to read, so consider it a challenge in which you have nothing to lose if you participate. So I ask you, Why not participate? " I stared into the mirror and I knew; I simply knew what I was getting into. This was my decision. The one that decided to take my joy out of life. To suck it away, and I just watched. I just watched as my soul got carried away in the wind. I watched knowing that it was all the voice's fault. The monster that raged inside of me took control, and I again just watched as I let go of my grasp on it. It broke lose with a feral scream, and so that was when chaos begun..."

Finally Free by lulustoriesss

"I need you to be the put together one because I'm so fucked up. You've saved me." He whispers. "Carter, we saved each other." I mutter looking at him through my eyelashes. I lean into him, our lips not even an inch apart. "Sophia we shouldn't..." He looks hesitant. "Please, I need you." I almost started crying. "Please." I mutter one more time, my eyes begging for him. My body needing him. Sophia Carrington. She just moved from New York to California in search of a new life. When her life took a dark turn she's forced to leave everything behind. She just wants to finish her final year of high school, numb to the world, while learning to cope with the trauma she's endured. Carter Marquez. Newly single after being dumped by his girlfriend of two years. After losing his dad in a car accident he's fallen apart. The list of people he trusts is short, he hates letting people in. He's constantly trying to make up for his mistakes of the past, trying to find a new purpose in life. When the two of them collided, they instantly took a mutual disliking to each other. Misunderstandings and a dash of alcohol set a flame between them. Sophia hates the snarky remarks and stupid nicknames that leave his mouth. Carter thinks Sophia is just another trust fund brat. Soon their rivalry begins to dissolve and they learn that sharing the pain of their past can form connections they never thought to be possible.
