Formerly known as 'His Saving Grace'
Welcome to Western Sydney.

Not the safest, not the happiest and not the best place to live. Rivalries between the innerwest and greaterwest gangs. Organised riots and brawls happening every month was something normal. Break ins, vandalism, domestic violence, racism, was expected. The pacific islanders where judged harshly, some of them even had the community fearing them.   The government was corrupted, and the police had no intentions of protecting their community.

So in a world like this, love was something that was ignored. Stepped on, spat at. The word was abused so many times and it got to the point where barely anyone knew what true, genuine love is. No body fell in love anymore. Everyone was looking for a good time, no one was serious.

Did people fight for what they love anymore? Did anyone want to graduate school anymore? Or was life one long party for most people? 

So this is the story of Kaea and Treymaine. Love? Or loss?

Is it worth it? To take the risk and fall entirely.

He had it all; perfect grades, scholarships to big-name schools, and football skills. Everything someone like him needs in Tennessee. But all that is stripped away when a car accident takes away his brother and his chances at a Division I scholarship. Although his body healed, his vision hasn't. He might never play football again, and the prospect has left him bitter and unhappy. Emori Hagen was "the fat girl" all her life. She grew accustomed to people laughing at her. But, with the help of her determination, she lost all the weight and finally achieved the body of her dreams. The only thing left to remind her of her past is the aching feeling every time she eats an apple instead of a cookie. What Emori isn't expecting on her return to school is to find a broken Tay Statin who no longer smiles, rarely speaks, and doesn't care about anything or anyone around him. He's just existing. But the pain in his eyes is something she understands all too well.

If You Love Me by sunflowerboulevard
48 parts Complete Mature
In the first second that I laid my eyes on you, everything that I have ever wanted out of life flashed right before my eyes. I could envision us going on picnics, stuffing our faces until we felt sick, holding hands until there was nothing but sweat between us, and introducing you to my parents in hopes that they would love you just an ounce of the way that I loved you. I could see us fighting over the remote only to end up not paying attention to the television program at all. And most of all, I could see you meaning something special to me- being that one consistent person in my life. But that second soon ended and I did not even know your name. Avery Davenport is an artist chaos. On the outside, a girl with her head in books, paint on her fingertips, and one foot in front of the other. On the inside, a girl with hate in her heart, regret in her veins, and self-loathing in her every system. Following a tragic turn of events, she begins to spiral. A tragic and fatal ending that she didn't have the answers to completely causes her to unravel. Pain slowly begins to be masked in the beds of the boys she meets, in her dark and quiet room, and subsequently on the ledge of her dorm room balcony. She didn't believe in hope or happy endings, never having conjured up one for herself or others, not until she met him. Dean Carter is all things remarkable. On the outside, a boy with ironed clothes, hair always perfected, and an ever dashing smile that could melt one's every sorrow. On the inside, a boy with cognizance in his brain, hope in his veins, and loneliness in his heart. Everything in his life has happened according to plan. His every happiness stems from medical books, sunsets, and seeing his loved ones smile. He has never been in love, never so much as thought about a girl beyond what left her lips, not until he met her. Please read the foreword for trigger warnings and disclaimers.
