Love; always perceived as such an astonishing thing. People always forget to mention, or perhaps consciously avoid talking about the dark side of love, romance and passion. Fairytales show us the positive, unrealistic side of love, giving many girls high expectations.
But not Hayley.
Hayley lacks confidence, and often doesn't trust her own judgement. But what she soon realises is that maybe sometimes; she's right.
Hayley doesn't believe that she's capable of making new friends, when her family decide to move from the town they've lived in all their lives, she doesn't believe that her so called perfect sister is struggling with problems of her own, and she doesn't believe that awkward, annoying Damien might have fallen in love with her.
But maybe It's best that way. As Hayley soon starts to come face to face with reality, she realises that sometimes It's best to shield your heart, and let your decrepit mind stick to what it knows best.

Adina's Saviour
"I tried to figure it out." Oh no. "I really tried. But I couldn't." Damien sounded hurt. I felt like being buried under the ground right there and then but I couldn't so I had to brace myself and face him. "Maybe I shouldn't have gone to your house without calling first yesterday." He was getting closer. "But I don't think that's why you're avoiding me." He was slowly backing me up to the locker. The close proximity was blissful and scary at the same time. "I don't know what you're talking about, Damien." I tried to keep my voice steady but I knew I was failing miserably. "I'm sure you don't." Our noses were one inch from touching. "I don't know what's going on but I need you to understand something." He continued. I was almost positive he could hear how relentlessly my heart was pounding. "I am never letting you fight alone." His eyes held a fierce softness I had never seen. " I care too much about you." Our lips were only a breath from each other. "Your fight will always be my fight." Perfect smile, perfect clothes, perfect boyfriend, perfect life. All these things masked how messed up Adina Powers' life really was. She needed more. More love, life, and more realness. She needed a savior. She needed someone who had to get through his own hell. She needed Damien Munroe. ***WARNING! Occasional mention of suicide.Complete

The Bad Boy Saved Me
Do you ever wonder what life would be like if it were a movie? Or some sappy romance novel that you wish your life could be like but it's not? Sometimes you may even get to caught up in the fictional world that you don't realise it IS fictional. Then when you do realise life isn't what you convinced yourself it would be, there is only one possible outcome. Depression. Which may lead to anxiety, self-harm, low self esteem, and worst of all, losing the people you love. Life works in weird ways. Not just for you but for others too. Take Cassidy Rivers for example. Her life is far from perfect. No parents, over protective big brother, few friends, and Asher Norman, the bad boy who won't stop picking on her. Could life get any worse for Cassidy?Complete
