"Why do you choose to paint?" Tobias asks, leaning back against the house, his legs dangling over.
"It's an escape I guess. I get to create something, anything." I say, pulling his warm sweatshirt closer.
"Would you say that you're able to create something you may not have in your own life?" Tobias asks, turning his head to the left to look at me.
I turn my head to the right to see him. "I guess so, why?" I answer.
"Paint me something. Paint me a better life."

Chasm
"There is a chasm between us, a gaping schism that only seems to widen as hard as we try to close the distance. Someday, our combined efforts to reach each other again will lead us both into the abyss." After an overthrow of the unwanted factionless government, the war in Chicago is over. To maintain stability, the faction leaders decide to return to the faction system. Because of this, the sixteen-year-olds that chose that year are sent back to their former factions for nine months. Tris falls into a state of depression after the war and her impromptu breakup that occurred at the end of it, and returning back to Abnegation--to the same house as her traitor brother--doesn't help. Tobias remains in Dauntless, but while he isn't exactly despondent, he does feel out of place. He doesn't fit in and cannot go on with normal life after everything that happened. Then, Choosing Day arrives. And history definitely does not repeat itself when Tris goes through the initiation process with her old friends and enemies, her ex-boyfriend, and the new sixteen-year-olds, while citizens of Chicago are mysteriously dying. WARNING: This story contains discussion of suicide and self-harm, swearing, and suggestive themes.Complete

Tethered By Lust
It's not worth it anymore. The fighting, the hurt, the beatings. It was never going to be worth it. But for love...well love makes you stupid. And I loved him with all my heart. I met the real man who would save me. Like how Bell was saved from Gaston. Except she lived the high life and didn't fear for her existence after her first encounter. After my first encounter with Axel, and a dreamy one-night stand. The only option for me was to stay away from him and keep to Marcus. But Marcus is destroying me. *** "Don't you dare tell me how easy it is to leave and abusive relationship when you've never been in one, Axel!" Tears poured down my cheeks and all I wanted to do in that moment was crawl into the same hole I should never have crawled out from and die. "And I was heartbroken, and scared and anxious. I was worried and I felt weak, and I had no idea how I was ever going to come up with the strength. But I just closed my eyes and took a blind leap. I found you, Cordilia and I'll be dammed if I let that asshole take you away from me."Complete
Fight For Me
(Completed) Bryan Phillips didn't have an easy life. Parents who got addicted to drugs meant doing what it took to survive. He thought blacking out when he lost his virginity was the icing on the cake... not even close. Two little words that hold so much meaning changed his world. "I'm pregnant." Becoming a parent at nineteen is no easy feat. It's even worse when your child's life is threatened. Handling a debt that his good for nothing parents owe is why he standing here at the underground boxing ring. Flexing his hand after punching the notorious Grayson Miller. Feared by most, but there is something in his eyes that Bryan can't shake. "I'm so dead Benny, what the fuck was I thinking? I can't do this!" "What other choice do you have?" I don't and that's the problem. If I don't get the money that they owe, my little girl... "Your puny ass will be dead within a week here." Grayson glares at him. "I don't have a choice, I rather it be me than my daughter." Why did I just say that? The cold dead look in the man's eyes would scare anyone away. I can't back down, no matter what. Neither one of them can look away. A familiarity, a longing one that Bryan thought he lost almost five years ago resurfaces and he doesn't understand why. "It's your funeral, meet me here tomorrow at ten, I will show you how to properly fight." The hold is broken as Grayson walks away. That was... strange, but forgotten the moment he was out of sight. Little did they both know that they shared a history that will soon come to light once training begins. How they will deal with that history is anyone's guess. Copyright © 2022 All rights reserved.
