"A lot of people are scared of you, Austin Grey." Rosalie spoke softly, still looking thoughtfully up at the sky. "And it's like you want them to be." Her eyes remained fixed on the clouds as she spoke, observing them in a way only she could.
"What about you?" I asked her after a short silence. "Are you scared of me?" My eyes followed a white line in the sky that a plane must have left behind, as I waited for her answer.
She took seconds, minutes to respond. "Right now," it sounded hesitantly, "Right now, I don't think so."
I couldn't help but smile, as I moved my eyes away from the sky, to look at her. There she was, innocent and angel-like, lying on the fresh green grass, flowers surrounding her petite body. They reminded me of her, the flowers. Everyone loves flowers, they're beautiful and sweet. But, flowers are fragile, and you have to treat them with care. Just like Rosalie.
She was like a blooming rose.

Austin Grey is a guy without emotions, or at least that's how he wants others to see him. Brought up by his rather aggressive father, in a world full of drugs, alcohol and fighting, he has learned to care about nobody, to cut off his emotions and to be merciless. But, unlike his father, he doesn't get joy out of killing people. When his father dies, he sees his chance to escape the life full of fighting and runs away. With some money stolen from his father he buys himself a little flat, in a town far away from where he grew up.
Other than most 20-year old guys, girls are the last thing Austin cares about. But, that will change when he meets a certain girl named Rosalie, who makes him feel emotions he's never felt before.

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.Complete

I didn't want to find out my whole life was a lie. I just wanted a bloody promotion. Guess fate had other plans? **** The cold air fanned over my face as I opened the door. The exit door lead to the back of the building so it was pitch black. I leaned against the wall trying to control myself. Blood was running down my arm and head. My hair was stuck to my face from all the sweat and blood. Everything was spinning around me and the ground seemed like it was shaking. Groaning I sat down and put my head on my knees.
