But with this love, came grave consequences that threatened to tear us both to pieces. He held secrets that had the power to burn through the trust I pieced back together.

While You Sleep (Complete)
A whole year; they'd been beyond my reach for an entire year and the days just seemed to be getting longer and harder to handle. I visited them every day and watched over them as they rested but how much longer can I continue to endure this? For so many months they were all that I'd had and now I felt like my whole universe had imploded. My true family; the one I'd chosen, my boys. They weren't down the street anymore. I couldn't send them a message and ask them to come and visit. Slowly, as the days turned to weeks and then months, my pain had numbed along with every other emotion and I could function on some level but I hadn't smiled since the day that Dr Roberts had knocked on Nathan's door and informed me that somehow Volto had won.

All Lies Tell a Truth
(This was story I made years ago and no longer have the inspiration to continue, I am sorry.) My parents weren't exactly the ideal role models in my life. Heck, they were barely in it to begin with. Killed each other with a hand gun, at least that's what's the news papers presented. It was the news of the year. Mother and father stayed true to their vows, until death do they part. Killed each other so they could live somewhere else in peace. Unwilling for their unborn child to see the light of day, and dismissing there 13 year old daughter into the foster care. Quite a story right? It was the talk of everything whilst I suffered in the foster care system. Seeing couples adopt child after child, only to destroy their relationship anyways. A few people were kind, gave you hope for a new life, then tore it away. But I ended up finding some strange things out when I moved to the states.Complete
Beyond The Break
Synopsis _ What I said to him and his hand on my stomach was like stimulator, before I knew it I found myself on the floor. I placed my hand on my abdomen, in an attempt to protect our unborn baby. "Oomph" I groaned at the pain, as my butt hit the floor. Nate stood staring at me, with red eyes. To be precise, my stomach. I used my left hand which I used to prop myself from the fall, after he pushed me in an attempt to assist my right hand in protecting my stomach. It was bone chilling. I was so frightened, i could feel cold sweat on my forehead. "Let go of me you bastard" I said trying to loosen his grip from my hair. He only let go after he pulled me to the coffee table , in a kneeling position. "Now fucking sign it, don't let me completely lose my temper. Or I swear to God, you won't believe what's going to happen to you" My red hair fell loosely on my face, the pain from my scalp was evident to what Nate could do if I resisted. - Everybody seems to crave tales of unlikely love, like the rich boy and poor girl or the rich heir and humble maid. I wish more stories would focus on the authenticity of human experiences rather than make such clichéd storylines. My story is a testament to resilience and perseverance through misfortune. What I've gone through has been nothing but "expect the unexpected." 'My name is Ashley, his ex-wife.'

HIGH ON LOVE// ASHTRAY x OC
"Maybe a relationship is just two young idiots, who don't know a damn thing except the fact that they're willing to figure it out together." Ashtray was educated on two things from an early age. Drugs and Family. When the former is no longer a major part of his life, how will Ash adjust to being a normal 16 year old teen? He grew up hardened. Always had to watch his back, trust nobody and didn't give a damn about what you had to say or do, so long as his family was protected. And he definitely didn't mind cussing dumbasses out for no reason. Mia was more than just a materialistic girl. She's had boys pining over her for years yet none were successful as she had her own problems. With a body builder for a mother and an alcoholic for a father, it made for the perfect recipe of a daughter who's developed an eating disorder at a young age. She grew up with a big heart. Despite this, she masked it with a 'no fucks given' attitude and decided that she may feel weak on the inside, but she will not be weak on the outside. Both had their hearts on lock but what happens when they unnoticeably give each other the one and only keys? --- "No, my nail!" I whined, holding it up. "You just paid for these the other day!" "It's okay Mia," Ash said as he took my hand in his own to examine it. "It's not!" I said. "It hurts and looks tacky, what am I gonna do now?" Was I being dramatic? Yes, I was. Did I care? No, not at all. Ashtray rolled his eyes at me before lifting my finger and placing a gentle kiss upon it. "There," He said. "Is that better?" I blushed under this action before nodding my head. "Much," I said sweetly and kissed him on the cheek. Now we had matching blushes.Complete
Fake Tales
"I don't know what kind of girl you think I am Greg" I mumbled. I was not the kind of girl who slept with guys on a whim. I wanted him, but not enough to abandon all reason. He took a step toward me, ignored my narrowed eyes and wrapped his arms around me. I wriggled and tried to pull away, but he only held me tighter. His face was impossibly close to me, expression serene to my fury. I could feel him already, pressing into my stomach. Fear shot through me, but the anticipation was equal. "I know exactly what kind of girl you are Maddy... that's the problem" He said simply. His lips crashed into mine, tasting every inch of me. I wanted more than anything to pull away, leave and never mention this again.... but I couldn't do it. The feel of him naked, warm and muscular against me rendered me speechless. I couldn't explain it, but our bodies seemed to fit together somehow and the anger I'd felt just a minute ago. That firey anger at him invading my privacy was gradually merging with the previous lust from last night. Now all I felt was an all consuming need for him to touch me. ....................................................................... Maddy Reynolds' life is a mess. Her best friend's brother Greg has just died and her two best friends Mel and Dom aren't speaking to each other. She has no one to talk to about her confusing feelings towards Greg or why Mel is so distant. Then at the funeral, she becomes friends with Tom Winter by pure chance and he seems to be the only one who understands her. And yet.... even he is keeping secrets from her. The sort of secrets that have the power to change everything. Maddy now has to decide to trust him or find out the truth on her own. Things would have been a whole lot simpler if she'd chosen the latter.Complete

Within darkness
"Run, all ye weary souls, let not the evil of this dirt burden thy heart but instead strengthen thy soul for the wrath of man cannot kill thou energy, for the soul lives through many body's to come" Her words cut deep into my soul and inspired me. Before he lit the fluid I held my hand to my chest and looked her in the eyes. Her eyes held vast raging oceans of courage and strength of many life times past and many to still occur. My mother once told me the eyes were portals to the soul and now I fully understand what she meant. The soul of the women who's flesh burned before my eyes held such courage and passion. She held rivers of grace and magic that flowed into vast oceans of storms and raging waves that held no mercy. Such beauty and majestic grace flew with black smoke right before my eyes into the clear starry night above. After her body was nothing but ash the people stayed where they were and lingered for a bit chatting and talking as if what had just happened wasn't cruel. She never told me her name but for some reason the name Sia kept repeating over and over in my mind. I guess that will be her name as long as I keep her memory with me.
