"Are you Happy?" is such a difficult question. I always say yes. Because I have friends, I laugh at jokes; I go out a lot and have fun. My life isn't as bad as it could be and I don't have terrible problems. It could be worse. Right?
    But then, one night at 3am when I'm alone, still awake, lying in bed, thinking about life, I find myself crying my heart out. I feel horrible and I question everything I had. I don't know if I was ever happy at all and yes, things just got worse.
    
    Jericho 'Ricky' Davis is your typical 'more-than-average' high school student at first glance. he seems to have it all; from friends to girls, popularity at school and even good grades. However, as his story unravels, we learn that Ricky is struggling with a broken relationship with his father, an aunt at the verge of death and a life that just might fall apart.
   After all, everything is not what it seems
    
    This is not some sappy romance story. There is no promise of a happily ever after.
    Yes there will be a lot of eye rolling and provocation and yes you might be force-fed a bowlful of aggravating emotions but please try your hardest not to hunt me down and strangle me afterwards. Thank you :)All Rights Reserved

Church Buddies!!!1 by TheseHeauxCorp

Join Johnny, a happy preteen, and Joseph, a cynical teenager, in an adventure through Christianity. All whilst battling off evil Atheists and the average villains in society. Warning: This story could potentially offend fellow Christians or literally anyone, living.. or dead I guess, I won't judge. However, while writing this, we never intentionally meant to harm anyone. Myself and my coworker here at TheseHeauxCorp think that comedy is a great outlet for our endless emotional suffering. Kinda like Bo Burnham. Yeah. Anyways, point is, if we offend you, we apologise. Other than that, enjoy the story. Hopefully some of the weird jokes and gags can make you all laugh, or at least get a smile out of you. -TheseHeauxCorp. PS. Praise Jesus.

A Girl Named Callie by MidnightRose55

*sequel to A Boy Named Jasper* ~~~~~ When Jesus saw him lying there and learned that he had been in this condition for a long time, he asked him, "Do you want to get well?" (John 5:6) ~~~~~~ Jasper has been in L.A. for almost five years. Not a day went by where he wasn't plastered on the cover of some tabloid or another, mostly for things that would've made Callie's brown eyes droop in disappointment. He hadn't seen her beautiful eyes in person in years, the touring life having taken him away from Texas most of the time. She didn't seem to mind though; she stopped calling as frequently, stopped video-chatting him for hours on end. Her life seemed just as busy as his was. Callie was about to graduate college. Full-ride scholarship, honors and a 4.0 GPA all culminating in a psychology and counseling double-major degree. She has a job lined up at a non-profit and a head full of unrelenting optimism. Not a day goes by that she doesn't think about Jasper and his new life in L.A. His blue eyes still live in her memory, immortalized in her lock screen, but she hasn't seen him in person in years. Callie didn't mean to stop calling and Jasper didn't mean to close himself off like before. Life just got in the way as it always does. They weren't unrecognizable, exactly, but they definitely weren't the same people. Callie was still a ray of sunshine with her relentless positivity and Jasper had reverted back to being a thunderstorm with a penchant for things he swore he'd never get involved in. All it took was one night for him to get back to square one. But things always get worse before they get better.

What Dreams Are Made Of by Kayla_Whiteman

I wish I could say life has been easy. But that would be a lie. Having a parent pass, all but easy. Having a great group of friends though, that only makes it easier to cope. The down fall of that group of friends though, is that after a funeral, long summer vacation, the one friend I looked most forward to seeing, I can't even form a sentence with now. --- The summer before his 8th grade year, Calvin Truitt, his father John, and little brother Brayden went through a devastating loss. Calvin and Brayden lost their mother in a long, unglorious fight to the big C, pancreatic for the record. And John, lost the love of his life, his wife, and his very best friend. His friends spent that entire summer giving nothing but comfort, love, and not to mention good times that Calvin didn't want but absolutely needed. Minus one friend. That one friend, Delilah Martin. Delilah Martin spent that summer away, visiting with her grandparents in Nevada, but little to Calvins surprise, when they came back on that first day of school, Delilah was no longer that girl he always knew. Braces were gone, body filled out, coming in to her own sense of style, and it had Calvin shaking in his shoes. Fast forward 4 years, and barely a word has been said between he, and his former bruh girl best friend turned baddie, until, Calvin's fresh new sister shows up in beautiful St Augustine Florida, and just as much as he and his friends rocked her world, she rocked his by befriending beautiful Delilah Martin. Delilah, she is the girl Calvin has always dreamed of. When it comes to Calvin, Delilah feels that she might as well keep dreaming. But with the help of Haven, Tucker, Colten, Ricky, and Shay, not to mention the loud and over-opinionated friends he's come to share with Haven from New Orleans, can Calvin make his dream girl his reality?

Morose ✔️ by Amplect

When you experience the worst thing you could ever imagine, how do you react? - "The water looked so tempting under me as I stood there in the dark. The splashing sounds as the waves hit the stone calmed me down and I took a deep breath. Yes. This was it. I closed my eyes and took one step closer, feeling the curb under the soles of my shoes when I stopped again. Then my heart started pounding when I heard the sound of an angry engine behind me, a screech and a crash. I turned around, gasping, ready to pick my phone up from the ground to call for help- but what met me was a pair of soul-searching golden eyes. In all his twisted glory, he stood in front of me, his precious motorcycle's engine still going as it laid on the ground behind him. His hand reached out, as if asking me to wait, but neither of us said anything. We just stood there." - Olivia was a happy, cheerful girl whose life turned upside down one evening, over a phone call. Her mind turned dark, her thoughts became intrusive, and she became... morose. One night everything seemed to fall apart and she found herself at the river banks when an old friend found her and refused to let her go. That night kickstarted something in her that made her want to change... for him. Helix was a misunderstood man surrounded by dark rumors. People feared him. Everyone stayed away from him.. Except Olivia. Olivia's life is in danger; can she fight her way out of the black hole before it's too late? ⚠️ Mature audiences only TW: includes adult themes such as suicide, sexuality, alcohol and other mental health-related issues - viewer discretion is advised

Before by MadalynneWrites06

Have you ever thought about death? How you will die, what comes after when your heart stops beating? Personally, I've never given it much thought. Until now. *** Fallon Vermont thinks there is no life worth living without Riley Evans, her boyfriend of six years. He is all she has, and she is all he has. From the beginning, Riley was possessive over her, and they were inseparable. Everything they did was for each other, and no one would get in the way of them. But what happens when Fallon meets Nicole, a girl who slowly becomes a friend, makes her question everything she thought she knew or believed, and starts to look at life in a new way? Riley is her everything and only thinks she needs him, and vice versa. *** "Everything is made the way he intended it to. It's so freakin' awesome to think about. All you have to do is have that faith and surrender your life to Him." I smile and nod, looking away and sipping my coffee. I take what she said into consideration. At least about having faith. I always believed in something higher, but what exactly? Does god really love me, even after all the bad I've done? And Riley, does he still love him after he put his hands on me? If god can't accept Riley, why would I accept him? I won't believe in you if you don't believe in someone that I love, I just won't. Will Fallon finally give in to the fulfillment God has to offer or will she continue to let the destruction that is her life, fully pull her under? She is fighting between right and wrong, good and bad. Will Riley continue to push her down the wrong path or help her, them, to step into the light?

Icarus by lola-n

Summary: This story is about an incredible unique autistic girl and her two equally incredible best friends. Will they ever get out of the friend zone? A little taste of the story: Is it a sin to love someone too much? To say I miss her is an understatement. I can't eat. Can't sleep. Can't function. She is constantly on my mind as she dwelled herself deep inside my heart. My heart aches for her. Every time I think of her, I smile but my heart hurts like hell because she lives far away. Too far. Sometimes all I can do is lie in bed and hope to fall asleep before I fall apart. Is it wrong to love someone this deeply at such an early age? I have inappropriate thoughts about her...about us. Not, as we are presently but grown up as adults. I'm jealous of my twin brother because he wants to take her from me. I can't let go of what's making me sad because its also the only thing that makes me happy. Her. I cannot lose her, because if I do, I will lose my best friend, my smile, my heart, my soul mate, my everything. If it is a sin, I don't think I want to be forgiven because I truly believe that God has sent her into my life to give me something to fight for, to show me there is love in this world, to give me hope and to bring me joy. All the proof I need in God is in her. She is a gift from heaven." ⚠️WARNING ⚠️ * language *drugs & alcohol * violence *assault & rape *nudity & sex

Like Nobody Else by TheBlackSorceress

Haunted by the mantra "I'm nobody," I echoed these words in my mind, feeling as though my entire existence revolved around catering to the happiness of others. Despite having friends, a constant undercurrent of self-doubt lingered, as if I were an anchor holding them back. In the shadow of my brother Adam's fame with the renowned band Three Days Grace, I was the family's black sheep, an outcast in our town. My academic prowess and hardworking nature seemed to count for naught, dismissed by my father as failure. Even my past relationship revealed a cruel truth - I was a mere experiment for my ex-boyfriend's infidelity. While my brother Adam basked in the heroics of our town, I felt cast aside, deemed a potential threat to other teens and shunned like a contagious disease. Despite my pleas for help falling on deaf ears for years, my existence seemed insignificant, unnoticed. The reflection in the mirror, one last look before I just contemplated ending it all, reflected a soul weary of pleasing others at the cost of my own emotions. With black lipstick, I scrawled a poignant question on the mirror: "Are you happy?" In the final, desperate act, as I pushed myself to the brink, a rush of relief mingled with the pain. Yet, as I succumbed to the darkness, a familiar voice called my name, disrupting the silence. Awakening to a hospital room, my feet tied to the bed, a blond-haired, blue-eyed figure lay by my side, a silent sentinel. Even in my darkest moment, he defied my wishes, standing vigil over the remnants of a life I sought to escape. The tangled web of emotions unfolds as I grapple with the unexpected second chance, questioning whether the bonds of love and resilience can conquer the shadows that once consumed me.
