Every person's life tells a story.
Some are uncomplicated, straightforward, and easy. Things fall into place with a simplicity that boggles the mind. No sacrifice, no struggle, but a wide, clear path with no obstacles.
Others twist and turn, and no road leads to happiness. Every day is centered on fighting and scraping, yet never finding victory. Dreams are futile, never to be obtained, no matter what the cost.
And then there are those who gain an inch only to be knocked back a foot. They love. They fight. They stumble. They fall. But through it all, they stagger to their feet, step back on life's path, and push through until they win. For these people, happiness is not an illusion. It's a truth, a promise, worth any effort, any scars, but just out of arm's reach. It stands at the end of the path, taunting and teasing, tempting them to take one more blow.
And in the end, the battles make victory sweeter. More valued. More precious than ever imagined. More than any one person could hope.
This is Liam's story.
Loyal, protective, shoulders stronger than Atlas'.
Broken, worn, battered.
Win or lose, he's ready to fight, because good things wait at the end of his journey.
Life. Love. Hope.

Benefactors
These are the Benefactors. There is no leader, there is no mascot. Although, they are a team. They used to be three police officers and an engineer. Everyday people. The world we know takes a futuristic step in 2025. There are new lab experiments that can turn a human into something more. Now they can help in ways that were never even imagined. Are you ready to race through the space-time continuum, teleport to places unknown, never miss a shot, and spread ice and lava in a matter of seconds? Let's see if they can beat the odds against the toughest enemy this team will ever face! Written by TwinComics. Alright so this is the first book I've ever written, so it's gonna be kind of bad and sloppily put together. This is what trial and error are for, am I right? Huge thank you to Kiara0357 for the support in my writing! You made it possible through your comments and votes! And thank you to pedemonti95 because well, you made me get on here in the first place. Side Note: This story was written by my brother and I when we were 14. The plotline and the characters were made completely through our own design. The point of this story was not to create a great book, but instead, it was about us having fun writing it. While the storyline is all over the place, we thought that this was a great thing that we did together and I will never, ever change that.

Somewhere Between Us
"Loving you is exhausting and hard. Give me a freaking break." he said. "Then why are you still here?", she whispered with a pale and trembling voice, holding back the tears that were willing to fall down her cheeks. Laura never wanted to fall in love with someone she couldn't touch - someone who only existed behind a screen, a voice borne by time zones and poor connections. But Evan made distance seem hazardous. He made every silence burn. "You could've stopped talking to me." she said to him once. "I tried," he said. "You just wouldn't leave my fucking head." Somewhere in between their late-night phone calls and the words they never spoke, something real started to take shape - delicate, wrong, and beautiful. But love such as theirs was going to shatter. It was constructed on waiting, on jealousy, on all the things they couldn't have. And maybe that's the cruelest kind of love - the kind that feels infinite, but ends the moment you wake up. Until Aiden walked in - the man who was real, present, and everything Evan couldn't be. Aman who had actually been beside her even when she broke his heart, even when she drifted away to chase someone who made her heart ache in ways she never imagined. "He doesn't deserve you. please wake up Lau." Aiden told her. "Then why does it still feel like he's the one?" she whispered. "You're crazy." Somewhere between what she wanted and what she needed, Laura lost control. Between time zones and heartbreak, between messages and memories, something between them had shattered. Because sometimes, love doesn't ask you to choose between two people - it asks you to choose which part of yourself you're willing to destroy.
Static
{COMPLETED} "now that you've had your fun electrocuting me, would you care to hop in the backseat?" ---------------------------------------------------------- Freak DNA. That's what I like to call it. The fault to my genetic code. More often than not, it's a curse. The static running through my blood gave me a name. A cruel, daunting label of a measly bug. A roach. That's what I am to them, to the government. Roach; the nameless monster with electricity for a sense and lightening as a second nature. It ruined my life, the sparking currents playing tag in my mind, running around and bumping into everything, shaking me loose. The government, actually. They ruined my life. My curse just gave them a reason. You see, the normal population with ordinary DNA, they don't know about the people like me. The roaches of the world. We don't get that kind of recognition at the camps. There, we are only one thing in the military's eyes. We are weapons and we will act like it. Everyone else out there, bathing in the goodness they don't know they've got, they don't know about the roaches their stepping on. As long as their getting closer to the sky, they don't care what they stand on to reach it. They don't know about the sparkling dreamer that's killed 7 people before her 17th birthday. They don't about the ghost of a girl peaking around corners for her entire life because even home wasn't safe. They don't know about the fighter of steel and iron sucking on his bloody lip courtesy of the wars he battles in as nothing but a shadow. They don't know about the masked villain who would do anything to see the army they lead claim the throne They don't know about us. But they will, because we will rise. And when we arrive, we will arrive violently. ___________________________________________ Started: 10.06.15 Finished: 3.17.16Complete
I Fell in Love with a Bad Boy
CRINGE WARNING! First book I ever wrote on here!! -- "Sometimes the person who you are willing to take a bullet for is the person behind the gun." I stood peering over the cold lifeless body that lay before my eyes. I had always thought of death the enemy, but right now, I blessed it upon the person who is now at peace. Sometimes you don't need to be the smartest, or the fastest, but you do need to be wisest. They say the blood runs deeper than water, and I believe it, because even though the people that we love can turn on us and begin to hate us, they are only human, meaning that soon they will begin to see how short life really is and how it is not to be wasted. People who seem perfect and they look like they have no floors'; they are the people who are suffering, like I was. But I found my savior in the most uncommon place. He was able to look through my mask, he saw the cracks, and tried to fix the broken girl that hid away deep inside the girl who only wanted to be seen as 'fine'. I slowly began to find comfort and safety in him, and I did the same to him. We were two broken people becoming whole. Someone once said when you pass, if you can count your true friends on one hand you are beyond lucky, and I even though I did not like the person that lay before me, I know that he once had true friends, including me. I'm a 17 year old girl who has suffered more than any other, beginning to believe that 'Hope' was just another word the people throw around. Until I fell in love with a badboy.

She licked her lips and looked down at the desk before saying, "...but that isn't what I want. I have agreed to give you time." Time. Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. "Yuh nuh get fi choose that still eno. This is what I want and those are my boundaries. Respect them or find someone else fi tutor yuh, simple." I sighed, scratching my head. Mi just nuh wah di drama and foolishness. Or the back and forth. Cya dweet right now... Or at all. "You...changed," She said, looking at me. "Would'a seh di same bout you too... But change nuh too faze me still..." I shrugged my shoulders. // Liam was once a bright, joyful child until something shattered his world at just nine years old. Whatever happened that year left scars too deep to see, turning smiles into silence and laughter into rage. By fifteen, he was behind bars. Now eighteen, he's out with one last shot: six months to finish high school and finally leave his past behind. He's focused. Detached. Determined to stay invisible - no fights, no friends, no drama. Then he sees her. Kazierah. His childhood crush. His first kiss. The girl he never forgot. ...the one he never stopped loving even when he wanted to. She's changed too. She had more friends and she was more social than he remembered. They never dated, never made it official, but the connection between them always ran deep... too deep to ignore now. And as old feelings resurface, so do old questions - about the past, about that day he was taken away, and about why their paths are crossing again now, after everything. Some stories never really end. They wait. And this one is just beginning.
Crazy Mafia Queen- Part 1- draft 1
They say the world doesn't revolve around anyone. But for her, it did. Every action, every word, every breath she took sent ripples through the lives of those around her. A single misstep-no matter how small-left scars so deep they infected everything they touched. They never asked what she wanted. They didn't care. To them, she was power. A weapon. A curse and a blessing wrapped in silk and steel. A pawn in a war she never asked to fight. But they made a mistake. They pushed her too far. Because when a person loses everything-when they're stripped bare, when their mind frays at the edges, when the last tether holding them to sanity snaps-what's left isn't human. It's something else. Something terrifying. And now, the world will learn that the most dangerous thing isn't power. It's a woman who's done being controlled. . . . Lesson 1 - Being underestimated isn't a weakness. It's the sharpest weapon in your arsenal. Lesson 2 - Love is neither strength nor weakness. It's a chain-whether it binds or breaks you depends on who's holding the other end. Lesson 3 - Revenge isn't something you forgive. It isn't something you forget. It's something that lingers, festers, and demands to be fed. Lesson 4 - Fear isn't taught. It's carved into us from birth. The world just keeps digging deeper. Lesson 5 - No one loses their mind without reason. Madness is not born-it's made. And there's always a trigger.Complete

All I Know
Sometimes love is more about the learning curves than the fairytale "Happily Ever After". Because often the world shows us how unkind it can be, how the notion of "good things happen to bad people' actually breathes true. Good people are often the ones with the most scars and disappointments but even with those battle wounds, they are still willing to pursue love. Sometimes it is the people that have been hurt the most, who love the hardest and are intentional in their love. So as hard and painful as these experiences are, these are the chapters that build you, remove the rose-colored glasses from your eyes, and present you with reality... you can choose to harden or to soften to the standards of this world. Follow David and Amelia on their journey, in the most unconventional of places and it changes the way they view the world forever. All events in this book are fictional. Some instances such as events and characters may be based on real life but nothing is 100% factual.
