The Thing About Hope

Now here's the thing about hope. Not Hope the girl, hope the word. It means looking forward to something pleasant in the possible future. The thing about Hope the girl is that she and Jayden have no possible future. Hope and Jay have no hope.
***
The moment Hope met Jayden Holmes was the worst moment of her life. Mostly because he's a total douchebag. From his cocky little smirk to his know-it-all stature. The thing about Jay is that he's just a little boy pretending to be a man.
***
The thing about Hope is... She doesn't hope for anything at all. She doesn't hope to pass her next test or score the hottest guy in school. All she wants is to be left alone in her own miserable existence on this futile and dying earth. Jay tried to lighten her up, once, to make her smile. It didn't work out so well. But the thing about Hope is... Jay just can't stay away.
Romance is something of a myth to girls like Hope, a fairytale told to small children bringing them hope for the life they might have. But the true meaning of romance is an insufferable tolerance for someone's flaws, in exchange for a fake "understanding" of one another. Bullshit. Happy endings are stories. And Hope doesn't believe any of them, not after what happened to her.
The thing about Hope is... Nobody knows anything about her at all.

My Mate, My Omega, My Luna, My Best Friend's Brother
Okay, y'all... I wrote this when I was 13 (over 5 years ago as of 2024) and this was honestly my polyam awakening. This was supposed to only be a bxb, and turned into a bxbxbxbxb (with like 20 kids).

Until my last breath...
I have read many love stories in hope that mine could end up with a happy ever after. Have you ever met someone and when you look into their eyes it's like everything becomes clear and you realize that you've met your person, that's how he felt the moment their eyes met. This story is unlike you've read; it tells of a man who's willing to go against all odds to be with the one he loves. Tony met Rora when they were in high school, she was his person, he tells us the story of them and takes back to all his good days and bad days with her. when she leaves with no explanation he doesn't give up on her like most would do, he becomes determined to find her, his missing piece. we look into life of a brokenhearted man whose love is strong but his determination to meet his love again is stronger. he has not forgotten the woman who he gave his heart to, the day he asked her to love him until her last breath. he meets her again years later but things aren't as rosy as he wishes they were. She's no longer the girl he knew before and she doesn't remember him at all. It's one that you would call a tragic love story, a heartbreaking tale of a love that could not be... they say true love can survive anything so the question is.... Can he really love her until his last breath?Complete
Love Like A Delinquent
3 years ago, my Step Dad adopted a son. His name was Hunter. For 13 years of his life, Hunter was neglected and abused by his parents. Beaten and raped, Hunter knew nothing good of the world. His Father eventually became a socio-path and shot the Mother. But as he was about to kill Hunter, Police arrived. The Dad shot himself instead. Hunter is now 16 and has been living in my family for 3 years. It's an understatement to say that we don't get along. Hunter is just angry at the world. He drinks and smokes and swears and fights. He kicks me and punches me simply because he's scared. He pushes everyone away. He has flashbacks and nightmares and can't seem to take anymore. Though I know he has reasons for being such an inconsiderate asshole, I still hate him. Our family has now moved to Cyprus. We're only staying for a while, so we just got a small appartment. Bad part about that? It's got 2 rooms. Me and Hunter have to share. At first I hate it. But then over the weeks, I begin to see how broken Hunter Storm really is. He's not just a dick, he's scared. And I'm slowly starting to comfort him through his troubles. We're getting somewhere, but then the worst possible thing happens. But strangley, it's bringing us closer. He's sleeping in my bed, he's crying to me, he's holding my hand. I'm holding him at night, I'm wearing his hoodies, I'm smiling at his touch. Before I even realize it, I'm in love. { Strong Language Throughout! Includes Physical/Sexual Abuse Scenes & Sex Please Don't Read If Bad Language Makes You Cry.

Reviving Hope. (INCOMPLETE, BUT DONE)
{NOTE: I WROTE THIS AT A VERY YOUNG AGE, NOT UNDERSTANDING THE PARTS WHERE I WAS CRAP AT WRITING AT THIS POINT AND HOW EVERYTHING IS VERY MELODRAMATIC. I HAD A LARGE CRUSH ON A GUY AT THE TIME AND MOST ROMANCE IN THIS IS WHAT I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO HAPPEN. OR SOMETHING. I ADVISE YOU DON'T READ.} Hope Jacobs was a normal American girl. Straight A* student, the class representative, model student and the best of the gym team. But she's got one weakness. And his name is Beck Jackson.

Maybe even find out things she had forgotten - and wish she had never remembered. As more and more people enter her life, more and more situations she delves into. An old friend comes back, new friends are made and jealously rises over her. She makes choices that are bad which might make her career and friends just.... disappear. But now, someone better revive her, or she could find serious trouble. ...And trouble doesn't take long to be found.Complete
Step Brothers
Jace Summers is someone who is always true to himself no matter what anyone else thinks of him, and he's proud of who he is. He has pastel pink hair, stunning deep brown eyes, and a sweet and silky voice that makes all of the girls swoon. Too bad he's gay though. He has been out since seventh grade and is thankful he has never gotten hate for it, not that it would have bothered him anyway. Alec Walker is someone who everyone knows and likes, though he doesn't consider himself to be one of the popular kids. He has brown hair, hazel eyes with the perfect mix of brown and green, and his side profile could make angels swoon. Neither of those two boys seem very different from each other, both are kind, well-liked, and very handsome. Even if they aren't friends, you wouldn't expect them to dislike each other. Well, sadly that is incorrect. Ever since they can remember, they have each hated each other with a burning passion. Jace thinks Alec is a jackass know-it-all, and Alec thinks Jace is annoying and throws his personality in everyone's faces. Those seem like very small or petty things that they could easily overcome by having a conversation, but both are too stubborn for that. It is a mutual hate that neither will give up. But when one day they get news that seems like the end of the world... it turns out to be the best thing that has happened to both of them. Not at first, but with time. *Has been edited for grammar and general cringe!

Accept Me or Reject Me. You Can't Do Both. (First book) (Completed)
A/N: Just as a reminder. I am not a cliche person. I do do cliche topics but they all have a Rissa twist. Check it out, and I hope ya'll enjoy. __________________________________________________ He is the Alpha. I am the "runt". He is night. I am day. He is popular. I am the nerd. He likes me as his best friend. I love him more than that. When I found out that he was my mate, I was ecstatic and worried. Worried why? Well because, I Sam Carter was not something that people would call "mate" material and with too much baggage that I don't let on. So, when my mate told me that he didn't know if wanted me or not because I didn't "shift", I did the only thing I could think of. I left. And, on that journey, I learned more about myself, found some great friends, made some enemies, and learned about so called grandmother that was the same as me. He could either accept me or reject me, and he didn't choose yet. I don't know. Maybe I will choose for him, and I was sure that he wasn't going to like the answer. _______________________________________ NOTE: IF YOU READ THIS BOOK ON ANY OTHER APP BESIDES WATTPAD THEN IT IS COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT.

Fall For Me
Completed - He had me pinned against the wall outside of his dorm late at night. He was staring down at me angrily. I was confused to say the least. "Are you okay, Jackson?" "No," He shook his head. "Pissed." I was about to ask why but then he continued. "I'm supposed to be a player, Jaycee." He groaned. "But here you are, fucking making me fall for you." What had I done to make him fall for me? Then he smashed his lips onto mine. ~•~ Jaycee was smart, she accepted that. She wasn't the prettiest (in her own eyes) but she accepted that. She was quiet and sweet, she accepted that. What she didn't accept? Someone to be disrespectful toward her. Jackson isn't very intelligent, he accepted that. He was gorgeous, he definitely accepted that. He was loud and obnoxious, he accepted that. What he didn't accept? Someone to reject him. When these two cross paths, it's like Mother Nature was asking for love, hate, loss, betrayal, etc. ••• reached #5 on Teen Fiction May 4th 2015Complete
