I finish packing my last bag and start locking everything up. This will be the last time I see my apartment. The next time I sleep in my own bed will be a week from now, and I was already missing it. I shuffle myself down the steps toward the door when I catch a glance of my mother's portrait.
I felt nothing.
I barely knew her.
She walked out on me before I could get a chance. My father says 'she couldn't take care of me like she wanted to', but deep down I knew she just didn't want me.
She made a mistake.
She messed up.
So every time I see her picture, her frozen in time smile, I feel nothing.
I feel nothing but anger.
I feel nothing but regret.
I regret keeping that five by eight picture encased in a second grade frame. I regret looking at her everyday like the time I spend looking at her face will bring back the time she robbed from me. But then realization settles in like the setting of the sun and I soon realized that she wasn't the only one that made a mistake.
I made a mistake.
The mistake was made when I put the picture out for others to see. Like I was showing her off, giving her the props that she clearly didn't deserve. Putting her on a pedal stool she didn't break her back to make.
But it was a picture.
It shouldn't affect me, not like this.

Sincerely Luna Rose
Dear Nobody, My name is Luna Rose Wesley and I'm just like any other girl my age. I have some secrets, I'm afraid of the future, I have some complicated relationships and some amazing friends, and I'm just trying to do anything that I can to survive. But as the days pass, it seems like surviving in my world is becoming more difficult with every minute. You see, without any money, my family is forced to live in in an apartment building that's smack dab in the center of our rundown part of the city. And my mother is just a work of art. She is now addicted to drugs, and she isn't trying very hard at all to try to get us out of our inner-city situation. Living in constant fear, not only of what's outside my window at night, but also of my violent dealing brother living in the room across the hall, I have to find a way to cope without putting a bullet in my skull like so many of my fallen brethren. And my coping mechanism is to write letters to nobody- to you- and sending it to an address that doesn't exist. I need somebody to talk to without that somebody thinking that I'm looking for pity, so I've found you. Nobody. Thanks for listening.

Fix Me, I'm Broken
Walking into an empty house is normal to me. I guess I got tired of saying 'I'm home' when nobody is home to reply. It wasn't always like this. I remember when our family was close. Now we don't see each other any more. We don't talk to each other. We don't eat with each other. We don't ACKNOWLEDGE each other. This all happened after my 'Mother' killed herself. My father blames me. This is my story about how I learned to not count on anyone else but myself. I'm broken. I'm used. No one can fix me. But when the New Boy in town tries to fix me, everything will change. Good change or Bad change, I don't know. Only time will tell. I want to enter this story in the #Wattys2015 please help me out and vote and comment on my story. I'll really appreciate it!!! #Wattys2015 COPYRIGHTED © 2014 BY Anallely ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ®Complete
I'll Make You Remember
I relaxed my jaw "That's it baby, take it. You thought I forgot about you fucking my best friend to get back at me?" He grabs on the back of my head forcing himself down my throat "Make it sloppy I want to see how messy you can get. Show me how sorry you are." I know he's still holding back, and I want to see how aggressive he can get, so I don't follow his orders which only strikes his anger. He raises my head up by my hair, so his dick falls out of my mouth. "How about you focus on the road" Milo smiles at me before looking back at the road, I spit on his dick before grabbing it with both hands. "You know you enjoyed seeing me ride your best friend till we both came together. We can always do a round two and you can join if you want." He presses on the gas even more going faster than before "You better make me cum before we make it home or I'll tie you up and fuck you till I think you had enough." ... Layanna is a lover at heart. After going through hell, she still takes in everyone else's sins like it's her own and wears them in her scars.

Life Too Quickly (prologue story)
"Dad!" I yell as I walk into the house. I'm greeted by nothing, except silence. My dad is rarely home, I don't know what I am expecting. Ever since my mom died, he's been nothing but distant with me. I mean, he was always distant, even before mom passed, but before, I thought that he just didn't care about me, now... I know he doesn't. ********** "Hello?" I say through the phone, grabbing a cloth, running it through the faucet, and pressing it against my knee. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" I hear a chorus of people yelling through the crackly phone. I start to laugh. ******** My mom had died. My dad is an alcoholic that doesn't care about me. I have three best friends. One new friend (Who's a bartender/stripper/lesbian).

Release Me
Highest ranked- #10 in action 2/16/2017 A promotion. That's all I wanted. I didn't want to run for my life. I didn't want to be kidnapped. I didn't want to face death. 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. He knows who I am. He knows how I look like. He knows where I work so possible knows where I live. I am not safe anymore... no where. While I was in my own world I heard faint sounds behind me but I didn't bother to look or run away. The footsteps got closer and I was pretty sure it was Walker's men. I should run. I should try to fight. But what's the point in trying to run away? He would eventually find me and if he has his way he would most likely kill me. If this is my fate then why am I trying to fight it? I felt someone harshly grab my waist and pull me up and I complied. They dragged me down the alley and into the busy street. I heard the opening of a car and the next thing I knew I was being thrown into a car. My head hit the hard leather seat and the door shut behind me. Maybe this is how my life will end. Maybe I should just let it happen. Maybe I was destined to die alone as a no one. With that I let the darkness consume me.Complete
