Hi, my names Ashley and I've been dead for 5 years now. I died at the age of 17 so technically I'm 22, but I'm a ghost, I don't age anymore. My death wasn't too tragic, kind of expected. I grew up in the rough part of town as a kid. I used to street fight, pickpocket, drink and take drugs from an early age. I wasn't given the best start in life. I was at a party in town after a bad weekend (I got fired from my job, apparently coming into work high won't impress your boss) where I took things abit to far and topped myself.
Now I live in Ghost Town. Yes Ghost Town, like dead people ghosts. The things at Halloween, yes we exist. Here is the place for second chances. It's basically like the real world but with a bunch of ghosts, anyway. I've lived here for 5 years now, things aren't looking up for me, I've lived 2 miserable lives. Until, I met Diago..

Running from the gang
In life, we do things we regret, or that we wish we could wipe from our memory forever. At the age of 15, I didn't think I'd regret anything until I was an adult. I considered myself care free. I lived life one day at a time. Well, as much as a 15 year old can. But in life, there are also things that we can't change, that we can't forget. Circumstances change, events occur, and life as we know it is altered forever. For me, it was one night, that set in motion a series of events that I wouldn't be able to forget, even if I tried to. *************************** My life was spectacular, or cool, but I was content, and that's all that mattered. I wasn't overly popular, I wasn't the prettiest girl, and I didn't live in a mansion. I did have a great boyfriend, and amazing friends, and hell, I wasn't doing too bad in school either. But that all changed one night, as I was walking home at night. I witnessed a man murder someone he claimed was a snitch, something to do with a gang deal gone wrong. When I found my parents dead the next day in a serial killers wet dream, my naive self decided the best thing I could do, was run, giving up everything I loved. After 2 years, 3 dead members of the gang and a new school, I was found. When secrets are unraveled and with the FBI somehow involved, nothing is as it ever seemed.Complete
Best of Friends
""Kitten, you're worried about something, and you cannae lie. You're picking at your hands and looking around to clean up my room. Unlucky for you, my room is very clean," he said, "Now what are you worrying about so much?" I stopped picking at my cuticles. It was kind of weird that he could see me doing something and read me like a book before I could even realize I was doing it. I felt my heart pound in my chest. "Well, it's just this whole pretending to date you thing," I shrugged, "How far do we have to take it? Do we have to do it in front of our friends? Do we have to do it in public because obviously we ran into Olivia today and we weren't planning on it. Oh shit, what if she sees you with another girl? I mean, what would happen then? What if she sees me talking to another guy? How long is this going to go on? What if we have to kiss in front of Olivia? I mean, it's not that I don't want to kiss you but--" I rambled on nervously. Iain smirked and walked towards me, and the next thing I knew, his lips were on mine, and we were kissing." When Kit's older brother, Ben, finally makes it with the girl he's been crushing on for four years, only to find out she's wary of family, he lies and calls his baby sister his best friend's girlfriend, turning everyone's life upside down. While Kit's struggling with the impending doom of college and parents that could divorce at any second, she's also juggling a fake relationship with her brother's hot best friend, Iain. As if that weren't complicated enough, a chemistry sparks between Iain, igniting flames and destroying the crumbling world around them. RATED M for drug and alcohol use and sexual themesComplete
Run, Fight, Repeat
" I lunge forward at him hitting his groin with my knee then right between the eyes. As soon as I do, he crashes to the ground, out cold. I go for more, but a pair of arms snatch my waist lifting me up. I kick my legs and flail my arms to get closer but he is too strong. "Let go of me!" I demand. "Shut up." A low strong voice commands."Is he okay?" "He is fine." I grunt. Then the young adult wakes up, then scurries back away from me. "Sorry ma'- miss... " he says, making me angry again. I give him a cold stare. "I'm sorry." He repeats, standing to his feet. "Put. Me. Down." I demand again. With a huff he puts me down. I step forward with full intentions to punch him again but the man behind me takes my arm, holding me back. I jerk forward to get off his grip but he takes my other arm tightly. "Alright! I'm done! I'm done!" I huff in defeat. " This story follows Astrid, a 26 year old female who ran away from home 10 years ago.

Runaway
I've been on the run for three years. I'm not the first, but I certainly won't be the last. For as long as I can remember, I had been experimented on, drugged to the brink of insanity, and tortured by someone I thought was my family. Boy, was I wrong. This isn't one of those stories where I suddenly get a huge boost of courage and defeat the bad guys then live happily ever after. I don't believe in that stuff anymore. Instead, I was a coward, and ran for my life, for my freedom, because I was too afraid to stand and fight and risk losing control like the monster they had created me to be. I've been too many people, have moved too many times. Now, I wonder if I will finally be able to find a place to call home... I won't allow myself to be captured before I even have a chance at that. Because if do, I'm as good as dead. © Sweetslover8 ~August 26th, 2013 ***Please note that the following is a work of fiction.

But I really only speak to those I trust. Today I'm gonna die. Don't feel bad for me, I am choosing my fate after all. Im tired of living. It's exhausting really living up to your own expectations and the expectations of others. I'm sick of shaving every inch of my limbs, plucking my eye brows, doing my hair, getting dress. Honestly I'm sick of people. My hair is long and dark brown with blonde in it. I have bangs that hang over my face and ever so slightly across my eyes. I don't have friends. My family sucks. So if you're reading this I have a question for you. Are you an outcast too. Everyday I come home from school, take sleeping pills, and go to sleep. Now I just want to sleep. Infinitely.

Streets
*previously was known as adopted into a family of bad boys* "I always got the blunt of the burden... I always took the blunt of the burden..." I pause "I made a promise and I am not going to break it... there is no way I am going to let him lay a figure Alexey or Alec" tears formed in my eyes "I always did what's best for my family... I always will" I fought back the tears not looking them in the eye "he already took my mother, he is not going to take away them" I raised my voice "I am going to do whatever it take to stop him from lay a hand on anyone I love!" I started yelling, "even if I die in process" I was quieter again, I couldn't look them in the eye "Nicole you can't--" "nothing you say! Nothing you do! is going to stop me from doing what best for my family, for the ones I love... you can't stop me... no one can" I cut of Jay and looked him in the eye, a tear rolling down my face "I thank you father for adopting us... I thank you three for excepting us, I truly do... no matter how much I have grown to love you guys, you can't stop me" another tear rolled down my cheek "I am not just protecting Alexey and Alec anymore... he knows I love you, he will hurt anyone I love" I zipped my jacket up "please let me protect the ones I love... look after Alexey and Alec for me... please..." the three hugged me, Jay was in front of me, I silently cried into his chest "Stay safe Nicole" Jay whispered "We will take care of Alexia and Alec, but we can't replace you," Kaleb whispered from my right "Promise us you will come back" Ryan looked me in the eye causing more tears to come down "I will try my best, thank you" I walked out leaving my family behind, tear streaming down my face.
