A short story about a girl with quadriplegia.
EXTRACT:
=-=-= She did not look at the waters that she entered. Did not see the swift current that would soon carry her away, towards rocks that lay jagged under the surface.. Was unaware of how the board would flip, how she would spiral underwater, the rip rushing at her. Couldn't make out how she was destined to smack into a certain rock, not enough to kill her but definitely capable of ending her life as she knew it... =-=-=


-- So this is from the author like two years later or something: Don't bother with this story. It's poorly researched, poorly written, poorly executed in general. I had literally never met a quadriplegic before or while writing this and I dont know what made me think that I had the insight or talent to write from such an immensely different perspective. 
THANK YOU SO MUCH @-unstereotypxcal FOR THE EPIC COVER :D

TW: this book may contain mentions of violence and of suicide. DISCLAIMER #1: I wrote this story when I was a teen and while some mental disorders are the focal point, they may not be accurate representations as I was far from being a psychologist. There are several things Lynn doesn't quite get about the world she lives in, which makes it harder for her to figure herself out. She is not your average teenager. She's young, intelligent, though something about her is off by now. Everyone is quick to misjudge and point fingers, everything and everyone is so corrupted that she's afraid she'll lose herself among a bunch of wandering, empty souls. Therapy can only help so much, depression is hard to die, and in Lynn's case it's caused solely by the fact she doesn't 'fit in'. She can't really find her place in the world. But there's something really special about her; Her dreams are haunted by a wonderful, mystical place. No one understands her, they think she's off her rocker, that she needs to cut her childish daydreams. But Lynn knows deep in her heart that place really exists, and she'll do anything to find it, with the help of some new found friends. There's only one thing she must do: Keep an open mind, it brings open hearts and open eyes. -- DISCLAIMER #2 This fanfiction is inspired to Mind Over Matter by Pvris and their lyrics in general. All you read here is fiction. every reference to real events or people is purely coincidental. I do not own the songs featured in the book.

"You can't do nothing for yourself?" She shakes her head while looking at her feet, "Look at me and answer me with your words." She slowly looks up, "N-No S-Sir." I walk pass her and she keeps her head down, "Don't just stand there, follow me. I'm taking you back, I didn't sign up for this. I was told to watch over a woman, but I wasn't told that the woman couldn't do anything for herself. Your basically a kid in a grown woman body." I look back at her from the corner of my eye and see a tear sliding down her face. "Are you crying? Why? You couldn't have gotten attached that quick." She keeps her head down and I groan, "Ugh, please stop crying." She wipes her face and sniffle, "Why are you crying?" "Because the old man promised me that you would take care of me. He lied to me, you're taking me back to that place." I throw my head back and close my eyes shut. By old man she means my father. "Okay, okay, okay.

Someday - A Short Story by HowlEngel
15 parts Complete
Life was dull, boring, and mechanical. I’ve always wondered if this would change. If something interesting will happen. I always hoped something interesting will happen. A falling meteor that would destroy half of town, an alien invasion, or even the Apocalypse. Anything, just to relieve me of this monotonous life I lead. “Urgh,” I groaned as I reached over to turn off the alarm clock that sounded like a hundred sirens in the early hours of dawn. The golden sun hasn’t come out to expel the surrounding darkness yet. I figured it would take an hour more or so for the sun to show its shining face, so I decided to eat breakfast and take a bath first. But little did I know that today was the day that my life would change. It was the day I met her. ---------- A short story. Hey guys! This is my first try writing a pure romance story. I hope you'll like it. :D This story will be rarely updated, since I'm busy with school and stuff. So, sorry in advance. ~Just Perfect EDIT: As of 03/29/14 (arranged in this order: dd/mm/yy), this story has deviated from its original "pure romance," into something worth delving deeper into. Quite interesting. And because of this... "something worth delving deeper into," I have decided to continue the story with a PART TWO! Though that will have to wait until after Exile. Or maybe when I get tired of Exile and hope to continue this again. But either way, there WILL be a part two for those who want more zoophilia. Cheers! 03/31/14 (again, in the dd/mm/yy order): Added a simple cover. Will be using this until I am able to draw a better image resembling both of the girl's forms. August 6, 2014: New cover. I like it.

"You're nicer when drunk" I state looking ahead. "You don't know me" she replies dryly. "Neither do you but look where we are now" I murmur starting the car. "Who doesn't know you? You've literally fucked every girl in school... Oh sorry, city." Her words catch me by surprise because she's not shown any signs of knowing me or my reputation. I scoff a laugh, kind of proud of my legacy "Nice." "What's so funny?" I look over at her a grin on my face. She doesn't smile back. "What? You want me to fuck you?" I tease but she still doesn't smile back. "I don't want to be fucked by a walking STD thank you very much." Well ouch. The nerve to say that in her polite posh accent. "That actually hurt Sparks" I wince "But don't worry I'm not interested in you in that kind of way either, you're not my type" I lie. I've been drooling over her since I saw her. "I'm surprised a whore like you would have a type" she shoots back and I have to fight my jaw from falling. I don't want to give her a reaction. "Holy shit Sparks, you kiss your mother with that mouth?" I chuckle and she rolls her eyes. ** Cainine also known as Alison is used to running away from her problems the only two ways she knows how to, drugs and sex until she's knocked back to reality with a girl who does things differently. This however, interests Cainine and before she realizes it, she's out of her bubble and is oddly fascinated with this girl. Flame Sparks a foreign British girl runs into the school's most known 'slut' but with time she realizes that there's more to Cainine than the tough guy act she puts up. She gets to know the different sides of Cainine but in the end she still knows the Cainine that everyone knows of and is afraid she'll be making a mistake if she lets her in. Will she let her in and risk making a mistake or will she walk away ?

[WARNING - EXPLICIT CONTENT] I pulled my elbow from his death grip. "You're ashamed of me. Admit it. You hate the idea of been seen with me." I shot venomous accusations his way. He didn't look at me. I'd rejected his kiss, pushed him away from and in return he'd turned cold and cruel, again. He'd shown nothing but hatred for me in public yet held me with aching tenderness when it was just us. I was sick of his games. He needed to decide whether he wanted me or not. "You parade new girls daily in front of my eyes," a sob escaped my throat. "And don't even deny you don't occasionally screw Charlotte behind my back." His ice blue eyes pierced my soul with his sharp gaze. He was teetering on the verge of lashing out on me. "How would you feel if I did the same to you, huh?" I pushed at his stiff chest. "Had several boyfriends, invited them to our home." His eyes cut to me, and a look darker than I've ever seen clouded his features I gestured to our grandiose home bought by his dizzying wealth. "And parade them right in front--" Before I knew it, I was face down and nearly suffocated by the soft material of our couch, I barely noticed my skirt pushed upwards and panties shoved aside. "You're my goddamn wife, Astoria. I will not tolerate your defiance." The sound of his belt loosening, zipper lowering, he entered me violently taking my breath with him. "Yet everyone thinks I'm still your charity case because you won't claim me." "You want to be claimed? Fine. But I am warning you, this lifestyle you're so accustomed to will be gone. I will be dirt poor and your family will be fired." "Then divorce and set me free. I am done being your dirty secret." Axel Trent, the spoiled prince always got whatever he wished for, and I was one of the thing he had wished to possess. Our fate were meant to collide in the cruelest way possible. It left me shattered. THIS IS A TOXIC ROMANCE BOOK. DON'T EXPECT HEART AND FLOWERS cover by IvvyKy

Once she reached the entrance, Kailee wasn't there. After waiting around for a couple of seconds, thirty max, Cara went into the school, automatically seeing Liane coming down the hallway towards her. Once the two girls were a few feet away from each other, Cara said, "Hey, Liane?" Liane looked up. "Is Kailee at her locker or something? Have you seen her?" Liane frowned, her face full of confusion. "Um... no. She didn't come in today." Cara's eyebrows went up. "Oh?" Then where could she possibly be? "Um, right. Okay, thanks." Cara started to leave, but Liane stopped her. "Oh wait. Um, can you tell Kailee to call me please?" "Uh, sure." Liane smiled her little kid smile. "Thanks Cara. Bye." "Bye." Liane rushed off. Now, Cara was in a full state of confusion. Why wasn't her sister in school? What could she do? She decided to go back outside, knowing her mother was waiting by the sidewalk. What greeted her at the entrance of the school, caught her totally off guard. ***** **Message I'd like to give a personal s/o to @Sophie841 for creating this cover for me
