I rested my head on the pillow as I watched my older brother playing his guitar and singing to block out the sound of my mom's screams. I know. Screams? Did she burn herself or something? If she did, why weren't we out there helping her?Well, the real answer is: my step father is a drunk. He'll leave in the morning. Get drunk. Come home at around 5 in the evening. Beat mom (sometimes even me and Bryce, my older brother). And then he would leave the house again and come back a few hours later and repeated this every single day.I wish either Bryce or I had the courage to call the police, but my mom wouldn't be so pleased with that. She says he's helped us in ways we wouldn't understand. Our reply always is: You're right. We don't understand. I never got the courage to tell anyone what was going on at my house. Or why I couldn't be out having fun (while my mother's going through harsh beating; I can't be out having a laugh). Or even why I can't have anyone over."Why does she put up with that ugly creep?" I stated sitting up in my bed. "I don't know. What could possibally be the reason? I mean, all he does is beat her all day...He doesn't help us at all!" Bryce said clearly annoyed with the subject I chose to talk about."Go to sleep, you need rest. If your temperature rises any higher, you'll be in the hospitall for a week." He was right. I had been sick for the past week. Going to the doctor every now and then."Well, I can't with her screaming like that!" I frowned tears threating to spill out.Bryce put his guitar down on the floor and put his arm protectively around me.

The King And His Nerd. #1
PROLOGUE A small boy lies curled up in his bed, trying to hide himself. The screams and shouts of his parents echoed throughout the empty, cold house. A small toddler girl, snuggled in his arms, fusses in her sleep. A loud crash, followed by a cry of pain, makes the boy flinch and tear up. He pulls the baby girl close and covers his ears. 'Dad is hurting mom again' The boy cries softly, so as not to be heard, weeping at the unfairness of the world. Hours later, his bedroom door opens, and a soft hand touches his cheek. "Ian, my baby boy, I've got to go for a while, ok?" A woman's voice calls softly. The boy sits up, wiping his tears. "How long will you be gone?" The boy sniffles. "Mom is going to live with Uncle Sam for a while, just so she can make dad's company bigger. Make sure you take good care of Naomi. Don't forget to clean up after yourself, and get good grades in school." The boy's mother ruffles his hair and kisses him on the cheek. "I love you buddy. I'll be back in a few years. I know that sounds like a long time but, I'll be back before you know it. I just have to make dad happy." The boy nods, refusing to cry. 'I have to protect Naomi. I'm alone now.' the boy thinks to himself, determined. His mother stands up and walks away, her feet softly padding down the hallway.Complete

"Thea needs to tell you guys something, she got some important news today and she's going to need everyone's support, go ahead Thea it's okay" Avery says taking my hand. "Okay so remember a month ago when we went to Greyson's party and we all got incredibly drunk and couldn't remember much of what had happened, well I woke up, in Greyson's bed, with him and we had obviously been very drunk and you can probably guess what we did, anyway I hadn't been feeling well so Avery and I went to the doctors and it turns out I'm 3-4 weeks pregnant" I say quickly while looking at my lap, avoiding all eye contact. "So you're telling me that you slept with our neighbour slash teacher and now you are pregnant with his child, what were you thinking Thea?!, It's one thing making him jealous and having a joke but to jump into bed with him is so stupid, what are you going to do now, do you really think he is going to support you and help you with the baby?, I can't do this right now" Theo says clearly angry and upset. "I'm sorry Theo, I was drunk, I know I'm stupid but you can't tell me what to do you're my brother not my parent, I don't even know why you're so upset it's my choice and my mistake and I am keeping the baby whether you like it or not!"

"Please Theo, I'd never ask you to do something like that if it was you, you're my brother, the only family I have left, please don't make me choose between you and my baby!" I scream back at him with tears streaming down my face. "It's pretty obvious you have made your mind up, we are done Thea, I never want to see you again"Complete
It's Gotta Be You <3 (One Direction) *COMPLETE*
"Why do I have to go to school today?" I could hear my brother asking my mom. She responded to him by yelling, "Because you are not sick, you are not hurt, and you're just being lazy! Now get ready because you're gonna make your sister late!" He knew today was not a day to argue with my mother. Her car was broken into the night before and she had been on the phone with my father and police all night. My parents had been divorced since I was seven, but since my dad is a cop, she calls him whenever something happens to get advice on what to do. As 7:30 approached, I yelled at my brother, "Ryan are you ready yet? We have to go now!" He yelled back "I'm coming down right now!" Of course he wasn't down for another 3 or 4 minutes. On my way to school, I was speeding a bit because I knew that traffic was gonna be bad. It didn't help that I saw someone being pulled over just up ahead and everyone has to slow down when they pass by to see if they know them... "UGH! PEOPLE MOVE! IT'S NOT A BIG DEAL!" I have the worst road rage in the morning, and my brother told me to calm down, so instead of getting mad at him, I just turned my stereo on and blasted the same CD that had been in my car for the past 3 months, One Direction's Up All Night. My brother started screaming because One Direction is the only band I ever listen too. I just turned it up louder to drown him out. As soon as I heard Liam's voice come on, my mood was instantly changed for the better. While listening to the music I felt my phone buzz saying one of the boys had tweeted. I threw the phone at my brother and it was Harry tweeting, "Louis got pulled over in California again! Someone take his license!" I started laughing, but I didn't really think anything of it. That was until I came up to the car that was pulled over and saw the British license plate. Marisol's life is just about to be changed...for the better or the worst ?Complete
Run, Fight, Repeat
" I lunge forward at him hitting his groin with my knee then right between the eyes. As soon as I do, he crashes to the ground, out cold. I go for more, but a pair of arms snatch my waist lifting me up. I kick my legs and flail my arms to get closer but he is too strong. "Let go of me!" I demand. "Shut up." A low strong voice commands."Is he okay?" "He is fine." I grunt. Then the young adult wakes up, then scurries back away from me. "Sorry ma'- miss... " he says, making me angry again. I give him a cold stare. "I'm sorry." He repeats, standing to his feet. "Put. Me. Down." I demand again. With a huff he puts me down. I step forward with full intentions to punch him again but the man behind me takes my arm, holding me back. I jerk forward to get off his grip but he takes my other arm tightly. "Alright! I'm done! I'm done!" I huff in defeat. " This story follows Astrid, a 26 year old female who ran away from home 10 years ago.

"Well, it's just this whole pretending to date you thing," I shrugged, "How far do we have to take it? Do we have to do it in front of our friends?

A living THING
"B... Bryce?" I said quietly between my light sobs. He didn't answer me. He looked dangerous. His hands covered in blood, his jaw damaged, his eyes... I didn't know, what exactly I saw in them, but I knew, there was nothing good. I realized, I might be in danger myself. I had no idea of what is going on in his mind. I started walking away, keeping my body close to the wall behind me. I stumbled on some trash, but gained my balance back, never leaving the sight of him - now, a total stranger, in front of me. He slowly followed me, his eyes registering every movement I made. They looked predatory, all his appearance looked like it. Following every movement of his pray. And I knew that pray was me. Some cries left my dry lips. I couldn't hold in anymore of this tension. I turned around and started to run, run away from this place, away from him. Before I could make some steps, I felt my upper arm grabbed strongly. I let out a scream and desperately tried to free myself from his strong grip. Bryce took my other arm and made me face him. My heart dropped in my stomach, as I saw his hard stare. I stopped for a second, but then tried to get myself away from him again. "Stop trying! You are not going anywhere!" I heard his voice, which was said through his clenched teeth. He momentarily turned me around and grabbed my hole upper body and wrapped his strong arms around me, making it impossible to move my hands and myself. I started to scream again, but again, his fast movements stopped me. I felt him squeeze me tighter. He lifted me up from the ground a bit and put his large hand on my mouth. That made my panic rise even more. I was so afraid. I had no idea of what he is going to do with me. Is he going to kill me? I felt his head resting against my head, his breath touching the top of my ear, sending a strong shiver of fear through my body. I couldn't see anything, as my eyes were filled with endless streams of tears.Complete
