Finally, everyone could see Joanna, but Joanna was long gone; even before she hung herself, she was dead.
The once vibrant jade eyes, that Jane was jealous of, was lifeless: just like her smile. And her hands which used to hold so much talent, which guided the strokes of sheer creativity, were now laid on bottle-green silk... forever still.

No Upper Hand / Jori
Light is merciless. It slices through the air, ricochets off surfaces, wedges itself into cracks. White, cold, absolute. It's the beacon that leaves no escape, that makes hiding impossible. Jade West is inside it. The glare devours her, defining her sharp angles. She is made to endure, to transform shadows into backdrops, to seize control of even the faintest nuance of light. But within that pristine theater, where every detail exists by her will, something eludes her. Darkness is everywhere-beyond the stage, behind the spotlights, beneath the skin. The more intense the light, the deeper the shadow infiltrates her success. It's not fear, not insecurity. It's a distant pull, a balance between what she's built and what she doesn't know she wants. What's the right direction to take? Tori Vega is immersed in blackness. Summer tore her apart, leaving fragments of what she once was. The world devoured her effortlessly, chewed her up until she was unrecognizable, and then spat her out, empty and fragile. There's no balance in her steps. Every attempt to move forward fades into the dark, every impulse a silent whisper. Before her, a cold light-white as a knife's blade, distant and unattainable. She doesn't know if it's a guide or a judgment. If she reaches out, she trembles. If she stops, she sinks. She can no longer see the line between fear and resignation. The one who once knew how to shine now watches the light from afar, unable to reclaim it. What happened to her? Yet, within the clear-cut structure of this perfectly orchestrated theater, within the brutal tear between light and dark, something eludes understanding. Because Jade was never the winner, and Tori was never the weakest link. What was once established fades into uncertainty, witnessed by those who watch this spectacle of light and shadow. There's a razor-thin boundary they're about to cross, a precarious balance between the one who illuminates and the one who desperately seeks to see.Complete

Survivor
I felt an ice cold tear spill down my pink and flustered cheeks and as it did I reached up and wiped it away with the sleeve of my hoodie. I dared to glance a look to my left and saw Jamie watching me. We locked eyes, he smiled and then looked away, but I couldn't bring myself to stop staring. His deep brown eyes were a daydream and his shoulder length hair a... trap for destruction. No, I couldn't let myself go there. I was just setting myself up to be hurt... again. I've had enough of that for a lifetime.Complete
who is she?
"I've given you enough time Kat" giving an icky smirk he took a seat. "How long did you plan on carrying on this charade" All she could see was the floor as she did her best to avoid eye contact with the man sitting beside her to prevent her from having to give an explanation. The new life she thought she had started was nothing but a distant memory. She had a feeling the man next to her was responsible for why she was lying pathetically in that very dim and horribly painted hospital room. "Unfortunately that dunce shot you as well. But you'll be fine, right Kat??" his sadistic smile widened. She bit her lower lip as her thoughts immediately ran back to the fact that Bill and Houston weren't with her. Guilt rose up, she would blame herself if anything happened to either one of them. "Where are they?" She said with a tear running down her face "That should be my business Katrina. Come back. I've got a better space for you,you've always been the best we have Kat don't throw this chance away" 'Fuck you and the whole team" she spat![The Only Reason [DISCONTINUED]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/16028168-256-k9c11ab.jpg)
