Growing up with fighting parents would drive anyone to drink. Exceptionally when they fight every day. So that's what I did. I turned to alcohol. The one thing that would help me drive out the yelling and give me the care free attitude that I needed to not go insane.
Oh by the way, my name is Lyla Grey. And did I forget to mention that I have anger issues? Let's just say that there's a lot of holes in my walls. My parents don't notice because their to busy yelling at each other. It's all okay though. Because I'm happy. Or as happy as I can get.
So what do I do when there's new guys moving in down the street? And they have powers no human should? I pull out the booze and get ready for the storm because it's going to be a long day.

When a rule-following good girl crosses paths with a reckless, 6'3" blonde rockstar who lives like every night is his last, sparks fly-and not the safe kind. "Lighten up, Miss Perfect.

"I don't drink," she replies, but her voice wavers as he leans in, all heat and danger and that maddeningly lazy grin. She knows he's trouble. Older. Wild. Addicted to chaos and charm in equal measure. But something about him makes her pulse race-and her carefully built world start to crack.

The Spiral (English translation)
Many people associate the period of education with the best time of life. A certain high school graduate girl takes her first steps towards adulthood, but slowly realizes about her bad choices and their consequences. Disregarding one's problems, denying them, and not always correctly believing in control of one's life are common obstacles to find a solution; to defeat the enemy, one must first notice that the enemy exists. We often learn about a bad decision after the fact, and every path we take seems reasonable at the time. Sometimes we think that we can always return to the previous state from a given path. If you had to turn back time, would you do exactly the same thing to get to where you are now? Do you think that if people didn't want to eat, they wouldn't? === Related to Brain Damage track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=En-J8cS1_AQ and the second version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHvqjz4HsfY === DISCLAIMER The text contains scenes that may shock, be inappropriate for sensitive people or depict illegal activities.

21st Birthday
Kyra grew up in a house that looked like joy and echoed like grief. A home full of rooms, relatives, rituals..everything but the space to feel. From the outside, it was the picture of tradition and love. On the inside, it was a slow, unspoken undoing. She wasn't the daughter who made people proud. She didn't fit the mold-didn't color inside the lines, didn't walk softly. She broke things. Laughed too loudly. Felt too much. And for that, she became the problem no one could name but everyone could feel. This is a story of a girl who tried to stay alive in a place that only wanted her quiet. Told in fragments, like how we remember people we failed. Told in echoes, like how grief haunts even after the body is gone. Told not because it ends in hope but because it matters that it happened. A story about the kind of love that suffocates. About families that feed you but never see you. About how the brightest children can disappear while everyone's looking. She was ten when she thought she had the whole world. She was twenty-one when she realised no one ever truly saw her. And by then, it was already too late.Complete
