Theodosia had never understood why things happened the way they did.
She'd never understood why her brother left and moved to New York, or why she had been put up on a pedestal to be a child, physically, without an older sibling's guidance. Her parents cared about her, sure, but they were always out for business trips. They were barely home. So Theodosia was alone for most of the time.
Durante had always understood the way that things worked.
He wasn't like other teenagers who kept asking "Why?" He had a different mindset from everyone else. And he wanted to be successful. His dad earned many degrees in Sociology, but Durante didn't want to take his path. He was set to pave his own road to success in what he wanted to do.
When the two meet at a festival, they seem to have nothing in common. But as they start spending more time together, they discover that their friendship is something special--something that could last forever. And it's through this friendship that they both find the truths about themselves, and who they're supposed to be.

Suicidal Attraction {Old Version}
"When people who have trust issues fall in love it's scary. The people they fall for fill up that hole in their life that was left by someone who caused them to have trust issues. The person starts to fill whole and happy; like this person is the one. But when that one person leaves,the one who made them invincible,they're crushed. The persons life gets worse and they fall deeper and deeper into that hole. The hole of what used to be." Kira Green is one that never wanted to fall in love. She planned on being alone and pushed everyone who loved her away. She gets bullied relentlessly even though she tries her hardest not to be seen. But in our society,the more one tries to hide, the more one is exposed. When Logan Williams came bursting into her life like he did, she didn't know what to think of this charming boy. He was different than the rest of the world. For the first time, a person wanted to know about the scars on Kira's heart than the ones on her wrists. She doesn't trust him at all. She wants absolutely nothing to do with Logan,but somehow he finds a way to meddle his way into her life. And when he figures out more about Kira,he's more than shocked. He doesn't see a girl who hates the entire world ,but hates herself even more. He doesn't see a fat, ugly, whore when gazing into her eyes. He sees a girl who's been wronged by the world left and right. He sees a girl who cares music more than she cares about her own life. He sees a person who needs love. But not everyone who you try to save ends up being saved in the end. Sometimes it's just too late. As Kira always says ,"Happily ever after was so once upon a time." This book does not promote self harm or suicide. And it also doesn't romanticize it. It simply is a story about two broken people on a quest to fix one another and mange to somehow fall in love with each other along the way. FYI THIS IS NOT A FAN FICTION! THIS IS AN ORIGINAL STORY CREATED BY ME!!!Complete
Maybe
An internal voice whispered, "Call him." But I chose not to. I dismissed it once more, saying, "He never liked me anyway." Yet the dilemma lingered. "But maybe he does.

LIVE ¹
[book one] You could say she had trust issues, maybe she was damaged, or you could say what most assumed: Annabel Kimani was just a stone-cold bitch, simple as that. Nobody knew exactly why she was the way she was. Not the two friends she had allowed herself to make, not her foster family, not her social worker; nobody. They all knew various pieces of the story, but none managed to put it all together. The one most confused with the story, however, seemed to be Annabel herself. She had learned to ignore the gaps in her memory, the mysteries behind her brother's and mother's deaths. After so long wondering, she decided it was useless; she would never get the answers she desired, nor the closure she desperately needed. Until one day, when a thousand year old vampire fresh out of a coffin decided to take up residence in Denver, Colorado. And suddenly, Annabel's determination to continue living life as if nothing was wrong, that all faded. What replaced it was a Mikaelson vampire she would soon call her best friend. He took her out of the shell she had called home for the past six months since her brother's death. And in Kol, she had found a comfort she hadn't felt in years. Just as quickly as he entered Annabel's life, he left it. Dead, murdered by the boy she once considered a friend. But that didn't change how much of an impact he had on Annabel's life, or how much of an impact she had on his. Annabel was the only person Kol had loved in a thousand years, and his siblings recognized this. They recognized that, whether they liked it or not, Annabel was Kol's family. So they decided, in his absence, she would be theirs too. [rewritten and republished june 2020]Complete
