: I used to be happy. Now before you close this and discard it as some teenage melodramatic meltdown on paper, just set aside your cynicalism and listen to me. I used to be happy. Didn’t we all? Don’t you remember that wonderful, blissful innocence our childhood offered us? We hid under it like a blanket from the cold storm of harsh reality. And when the world finally decided we were too old to live under its protection any longer it tore the security away from our grasping hands and threw us into the bitterness. Because of the suddenness we become bitter ourselves and thus teenage angst is born. So do not disregard me because of my age or lack of uniqueness. My story is worthy of being heard, my life is worthy of recognition. Valerire Moore used to be happy. She was a good daughter, a great student, and an amazing dancer. But then, the night of her high school graduation, everything turned upside down. A year later Valerie, or "V" as people now call her, hasn't said a word to her family, declined her college scholarships, and hasn't stepped foot on the dance floor. All it took to change her world was one night, maybe that's all it will take to change again.

"It's real, Kyler. Some people don't get their happy endings. Some lovers don't end up together in any life." She paused, her voice softening. "It's just the way the world is." She sighed a breath. "The ending to Romeo and Juliet was something the world would want, right? A sad ending for the rest but a happy one for the lovers." She picked at a loose thread on her sweater. "I don't like stories like that. I don't want a story like that." I found myself reaching out and took us both by surprise when I gripped her hand in mine. "We don't have to be what the world wants us to be, Luna. We can be whoever we want to be." *** Going into his senior year, Kyler knew things were going to change. But never in a thousand years had he imagined them to change the way they did. He had never expected to sneak out late almost every night just to see her. He had never expected to be dancing under the stars, with her clutched in his arms. He had never, ever expected for his heart to pound so furiously every time she was around. And he had certainly never expected the girl next door to change his life forever. But she did. And it all started when Kyler Anderson crossed paths with the gorgeous new girl. *** "We can write our own story, with our own endings." I whispered. "Fuck the world." She smiled a hesitant smile. Then grinned. "Yeah." She whispered back. "Fuck the world."Complete

~some things you just can't speak about.~ // hazel eloise finley's old english and frankly quite pretentious name was never released to public whenever she survived the shooting at her high school. not even after the paramedics took her away with a severe bullet wound to the calf or even whenever she drug and hopped herself outside for medical attention afterwards either. only known as the jane doe that survived a school shooting, and the years of physical therapy, permanent nerve damage and chronic pain proved to be the least of her worries. it took years of therapy, hospitalizations, and prescriptions for her to even feel ready to start college after high school. and whenever she did, much like her name, she was determined to bury it. despite the trauma she went on to become one of the most gifted music majors enrolled at the prestigious university in Nashville, TN, an honors student, a residential advisor, and slowly making her way to the student council someday. Though just coming into her sophomore year, a heavily tattooed literature major transfers into the room across from hers that throws everything off track. Julien Rose Baker infuriated her at first, not only because her friends and roommates were loud and obnoxious and stayed up all hours of the night playing loud music and probably doing anything but studying, but because she was better than her, in every sense of the word. sight reading music without missing a beat or a note, shredding her guitar in nearly every practice room, leaving most professors in awe of her vocal range, and not to mention the writings of hers read during some of the english classes the two shared. it was jealousy at its finest. though whenever an unexpected turn of events leaves hazel almost having no choice but to be vulnerable, something else besides avoiding her dorm neighbor might turn into something else. ~ TW for gun violence, ptsd, anxiety, depression, etc...Complete
Mil SO (Military Significant Other)
My chest hurt as an empty feeling rushed over me. My breathing picked up as I clutched my chest. It was painful but yet, oh so familiar. Black dots swam in my vision as my heart beat wildly. I closed my eyes and tried to calm my breathing. Panic attacks weren't uncommon for me. I'd had them ever since the accident. I felt the tears roll down my cheeks as my face heated. It was getting harder to breath. It felt like the walls were closing in around me, and the oxygen was being sucked out of the room. "Iris! Calm down. You have to calm down," a voice sounded from a distance. It was too late; I was in full panic attack mode. My body shook as I sobbed in gasps. I felt hands on my arms but barely. I was too far-gone. The black dots increased as my breathing did. I'd done this too many times to know what was coming next. I hyperventilated until I passed out completely. ~ After a traumatic event that led to her family's death, Iris moves with her Aunt to California to try and start over. Iris Morgan grew up a military brat. With her dad in the Marines, she grew accustomed to that lifestyle, until she was ripped from it. Now she has to be the new girl all over again. Only this time, she has to keep her C-PTSD in check as well as survive a high school full of teen celebrites, cute boys, and around the clock drama. All Iris has to do is survive two years until graduation, but what comes after graduation may prove to be more difficult than high school itself.Complete
Striking Lies
It was a rush of hatred mixed with sarcasm that killed her. One bullet to her chest and then another and another, until she slouched her way down to the floor, covering the white walkways with red. Her now leaving me in a cold trance at the tiny framed friend of mine on the floor, well that is until I looked up to the barrel of the gun pointing at me now. My heart clenching together underneath my skin, pulse raising as I attempt to make sense out of all this, and the brief illusion of a shadow on the wall behind her, all tease me when I’m trying to think if this is all true. That’s when it happens; his dark hair flowing in his eyes from his lack of going to the hair cutter and his violet eyes deepening the stare between the two of us. Don’t shoot! I’ll do anything! Just don’t kill him. My thoughts scream at me, making my line of concentration grow slimmer with each word. Tears begun to fill the bottom of my eyes, my throat closing to the full extent, my ever so calm hands were trembling at my hips and the requirement of breath vanish from my lungs. His hands run out to calm this girl, speaking softly and letting her know that it will be alright if she simply lets us go. And just as she starts to give in to his pervasive act, the fire alarm sets off, sending her in a protective fury of gunshots. Hitting him dead on. Felt like a bullet to my heart.Complete

DILLON'S P.O.V "Sweet dreams, Ariana." I whispered in her ear, causing her to shudder. "And just remember, I mark off those who are dead to me. Who no longer have a place in my cold heart...you are not leaving any time soon." **** ARIANA'S P.O.V The drinks affects seemed to be like a blanket. I felt squished in my own skin, my consciousness ebbing away but my limbs still moving, although barely holding me up. I was mentally dragged down as distant pulses entered my ears, my feet sliding across the table in succession to the dancing everyone was encouraging me to do. My eyes swivelled around as the scent of alcohol wafted closer to me, many hands shoving, pulling and gripping at me. I needed air that wasn't tainted with sweat and rotten with beer, but the more I unconsciously danced, the more I didn't care about anything. **** Peer Pressure! Restrictions! Betrayal! Gossip! Abuse! That list might be Ariana Coopers' biggest problems in school, but the outside world is a whole different story. Unraveling Aria's past and digging deeper into the truth is the only way she can find out who she truly is. That's not necessarily a good thing...or a bad thing. **** 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁, 𝗮 𝙗𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝗿𝗲-𝘄𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻! Volume. One in the Deeper Chronicles © CopyrightComplete
Altered
Have you ever met someone who alters the course of your life? For good or for bad, they've come in, given and taken, and then- BOOM! Your life was never the same. There's always a change, an altering of reality. When you meet those people, the reality that you've known your whole life is suddenly gone and a new one has taken its place. When those moments happen, there's no going back. You can try to return to the way things were but nothing, and I mean nothing, can take you back to exactly how it was. That's what happened to us. I think that's why we're still trying so desperately to get back to some sort of normalcy. Four years later and we're still on the ground, crawling, in search of the happiness that was lost that June. Summers will never be the same. Midnight walks through my neighborhood will never be the same. Field parties with bonfires and loud music will never be the same. I still don't know why you left and what lead you to the decision you made. What I do know is that we're here. We're alive and we're pushing forward to the future. A future that you're not a part of. But in some ways, I'm glad you're not a part of it. I just wish it wasn't like this. *** TRIGGER WARNING*** SA, abuse, suicide, substance abuse, and mental illness. This is a complete story that is much like life; fast, full of surprises, and not always how we want it to be. This has been a project of mine for over three years. It was self-published on Amazon, but after some issues in publication, I decided to just upload it on here. I hope you fall in love with these characters like I have. The friends in this story are trying to make names for themselves, figure out who they are, who they can trust, how to love, and how to separate themselves from a restrictive community. As in any coming of age story, they will experience growing pains... but will they survive them before its too late? PLEASE READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS.Complete
Outcasts
Two girls. At school they're total opposites. The cheer captain and the loaner geek. But at home, life isn't all as it's seems. And one teacher, and their relentless assignments, bring them closer together. *** "You missed me?" I ask as if it's such a shock because to me it is. I'm a nobody. "Hm." She hums with a nod, "I didn't really know how to ask you if you wanted to hang out again, and well, thanks to my fucked up life, here we are, I found an excuse." "You do realise you can just ask me?" I'm a hypocrite, I couldn't do it either. "I know, but honestly, you kind of intimidate me and I just kinda thought maybe just a small part of you thought it was just about the projects."Complete
