Hi, everyone!!! My name is Angela Johnson. This is one of the first story I finished. I don't know how long I have been working on this story, but I think it has been for two years. I love the Lord and his magnificent ways. Some of the characters in this story reflect people that I know in person. Everything else is made up. I hope you enjoy and be touched by God in the best way possible. God bless!!!

Finished; September 13th 2019 #10 abuse #10 teenfiction #8 stepdad #6 hope #3 badboys #3 broken #1 escape #1 goodgirl #1 hate #1 stepbrother #1 youngadult #1 school Reading List Featured - Teen Fiction ~ Despite all the fear, panic and the voice inside her, Hayden Kendricks still sent that one message to Parker Graham, the university girl offering her a room. After one year of hell, nightmares and pain, she's completely done. She's desperate for a room on the other side of the country with one simple demand; that her host is a female. So when she ends up being a he, what does Hayden do? During the wait to switch place, she grows quite attached to the care, kindness, humor, simplicity and courage the five boys show her. She grows attached to the stubbornness and love that feed their will not to give up on including her in everything. So what happens when the paralyzing book of her nightmares once more opens and is read out loud for not only her, but now, also those five boys? Easy. She tries running away again. But... She underestimates the love that those boys have towards her, because they're willing to do everything and anything, except letting her go. Except letting her remain broken. They're gonna do everything and anything, to Fix Her. And who knows? Maybe, despite the lies, the broken hearts, tears, and that one man behind everything, things can get better? Maybe, the strong love of five boys, each one different from the other, can force its way through the thick walls around Her? Or maybe... Fear will end up being stronger than love?

...We were so caught up in the shared moment of care free joy to notice the midnight grey Toyota pickup truck speeding directly towards us. Meters before impact dad finally caught on to what was about to happen, despite it being day the approaching vehicle's headlights blinded us as our cars breaks slammed on, the sound of the tires melting away as the rubber tires scraped against the pavement filled the air and the scent of burning rubber overwhelmed my nostrils, despite our efforts the brakes didn't slow us down, we were to late. There was nothing we could do as we collided head on..." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Attempt two at writing a book lmao, summaries without spoilers are not my strong point but here you go: After a tragic child hood accident Astra is left utterly alone, forcing her to make a massive move across the states to live in Tennessee with her grandmother. A few years pass and Astra finds it difficult to deal with the trauma she experienced as a young child, but surrounded by friends and throwing herself into education she starts to heal, until she meets Jason. In the beginning Jason was a kind, caring guy who seemed genuinely interested in getting to know Astra, but not everyone is who they seem to be. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ TW LIST!!!! (there's alot) swearing PTSD/past trauma Character death Violence/ injury detailing Stalking Kidnapping Depression, anxiety Panic attacks Alcohol and drug usage Over thinking Self harm/sabotage Survivors guilt Potential homophobia HEAVY Eating disorders If there's anything you think needs to be posted as a TW then let me know, also please don't read if there is anything that triggers you.

Sawyer said slapping her thick ass "Sawyer" She moaned as she felt her ass sting some from that slap. "What.Is.My.Name" He growled slapping her ass every time he spoke a word.

McKinley has spent most of her life abused and mistreated. Growing up her parents neglected her and were mentally abusive. Once she graduated high school she moved out and thought she found true love, but she was so wrong. The cycle of abuse just continued and because of the position her husband held it was impossible to get away from him. She was doomed. Until something happens that changes her life completely. Something most people would consider a terrible thing, may just be her saving grace. From the book... However, I am not prepared for the sight I am about to see. My eyes meet the most beautiful blue eyes I have ever seen and long, wavy blonde hair that I am sure many girls would envy. I can't help but notice she's curvy in all the right places. She has a killer body. But what the hell happened to her cheek? She looks like she has been beaten. She looks terrified. Oh yeah that's right it's because I have a knife.
