This is told from a Christian perspective. Basically I am sharing my testimony. I have been raised in a wonderful household and have two amazing loving parents. I am the older brother to two wonderful siblings that mean so much to me. God tells us in the Bible that "In this life, you will have trouble." I've had trouble with people my age throughout middle school, it moved on throughout high school, and it escalated at one point in college. I felt doomed, I felt like my whole graduating class was going to be against me. But my roommate remained and still is my best friend. One day, I made a decision that has been one of the greatest decisions I have ever made. While I had always been a Christian, I decided to take things even further.

The Trap (Trapped Prequel)
Looking back, I should have seen it coming. Paige didn’t like that I went so far away to university. But it was going to only be for two years. She'd join me after she did her two years at community college. I thought we could swing that no problem. We were solid. But she hated the distance. She hated not seeing me every day. She complained that I didn’t come home enough. She hated that for months on end, texting and phone calls were our only form of communication. It wasn’t enough. She'd ask about the girls on campus. She’d gotten it into her head that girls were always making a play for me. I laughed and told her, even if that were true, I’d never cheat on her. She didn't seem completely reassured by that. The bottom line is, Paige thought she was losing me. She wanted me home with her. But I could never imagine the level she'd sink to—the trap she’d set to make that happen. And like an idiot I walked right into it. And it’s a mistake I'm going to have to pay for the rest of my life.Complete
Soul Nite
My name is Jeremiah 'Joske' Wilson and I'm the main character, (Also this is book is a crazy story of my life btw). Anyway the last time you've seen me, I had just escaped a space rock (sorry 4 the spoiler). Here's a fun fact: both me and my brother, Tom are adopted cuz for some reason my parents just couldn't have kids of their own. Originally, the wanted to pick one, my mom chose me and my dad chose my brother. They couldn't decide who to pick so they adopted both of us. And so that's how life began... This is a little obvious, but my dad was stricter on me than Tom, and since I was 2 years older than him, I got the 1st born treatment (if you know what I mean). Anyway, Japan was always my favorite place to be. In fact, that's where I had grade school (primary school). And when I got to Jr. high, my dad became the headmaster of a school in a small town in Africa, the same town I grew up in. the town was more advanced than other towns around it and slightly bigger though I still loved Japan more. Two years ago my mom disappeared just a little while after I escaped the stone before then I would always strive to get 1st place in class just to get dads attention and for him to acknowledge me, but every time he would just ask me what I wanted and I would say the same thing every time, a trip to Japan. But after mom disappeared I remember what she always said to me "be a good boy Jerry and please try your best in everything you do, do it for me". So I decided to honor her wish and always came 1st for her except sometimes when I want to make Jake happy I'll just let him take 1st for a few terms then go back to 1st. Anyway enough about me. Jake is my best friend/rival and we've been friends for a long time I met him in Japan while in grade school and we've been friends ever since. His dad is the principal of our school while my dad is the head-master of school affairs so they know each other already.
New Girl
"You dropped this." I heard a husky voice say. I turned around to look at what I dropped and realized it was my schedule. I gasped. Damn, I would have been fucked if I'd lost it. I guess I didn't put it in my bag... I looked up to thank him, but ended up not being able to find my voice. He's really attractive. Drop dead gorgeous attractive. Hot. He has brown hair that is spiked up in a messy way and shiny chocolate brown eyes that are hard not to stare at. His jawline was firm and he is extremely tall compared to my 5'3" height; he seems like he's 6'1". He looks in good shape -- the white shirt he was wearing showed off his broad muscular chest. He wore a leather-mans jacket from the school over the t-shirt, with black denim jeans, and converse. I swallowed. I snapped out of it and took the paper forcing myself to say "thanks." However, he walked away before I even finished. OK... he obviously isn't interested in the 'new girl' like all the other students are. I can't help but feel a bit disappointed. Out of all the guys that have hit on me in school today he is the only one that has caught my eye -- bad news is that he didn't even bother. "You know him? I'm surprised the cheer-bitch hasn't threatened you yet." Jessica said, her face showing shock. "Um, no I don't know him... and cheer-bitch?" I frowned confused. "She's his ex-girlfriend, but considering she has such a small brain that is a size of a peanut, she won't leave him alone. I mean like seriously, EX; has she not heard of that quote, 'Thanks for the EXperience, Our time has EXpired, now EXit my life.' She is one clueless bimbo. Then again who would leave him alone he is S-E-X-Y!" I laughed. "I am going to love being your friend." I said while I looked back to where he had headed a while ago, but I no longer saw him. I sighed disappointed.Complete
The Bullied Mate
She had tears in her eyes and was looking at me with disgust. Our eyes locked and it was like the world disappeared. It was her and me. I was to protect her with every fiber in my being and in that moment I want to cherish and comfort her and hurt whoever did this to her. Then it dawned on me. I did this. I hurt my mate. That thought alone made me want so shrivel in a ball and die. We broke eye contact when she quickly got into her car and drove away. She was my mate. A human. I had to make her love me. I have to make her forgive me. All of the hate for her washed away in that moment, that minute, that second. Disclaimer- I wrote this book when I was super naive and didn't know that the abuse written about in this book is unacceptable and not to be tolerated. Also, it's pretty bad writing. So just keep that in mind too.Complete
I Felt Used
"SO I WAS ONLY A BET TO YOU!" She yelled at me. "Look I'm sorry but at first it was, but then when we kiss it just change everything. I couldn't stop thinking about you after you left, then I was hurt and mad because you wouldn't give me your phone number," I was holding her hand looking at her apologetic. "You're such a dick and then you went and fuck one of those girls. I can't believe this I just knew you were mistake. I knew I shouldn't have fuck with you........you're too young and you act stupid. You know what I'm so done with you............UGH I feel so stupid," she walks away angrily.Complete
A Day To Give Anything But Thanks
All I wanted for thanksgiving was to have a nice time with my family. I didn't want to be kicked out of the house, because I told them I wasn't entirely sure I agreed with all of the Catholic traditions and beliefs. Which to my family that was just as bad as telling them I had murdered someone. I didn't want to spend my thanksgiving wandering my college campus trying to think of a decent place to eat. And I sure as hell didn't want to spend thanksgiving with the biggest fuckboy to ever exist. But here I am, kicked out of my family thanksgiving, wandering my college campus with Carson Hail, aka the biggest fuckboy to ever exist. At this rate I've probably said "fuck" more times than Carson has actually fucked someone, and that was saying a lot. Disclaimer: If you aren't a big fan of cussing I wouldn't recommend reading this book.Complete

She never fully understood when I needed someone to and I didn't have many friends that stuck around afterwards. Until I met him. We were friends first, then the feelings got deeper. He asked me to be his girlfriend. He was my first kiss, first date, first real friend, first love, everything. I loved him and I do. I've said it. Now all we do is fight. I don't know why we can't figure things out, but I can't take this fighting. I just want things to go back to the way things were. The way we used to be... Happy, carefree teens that pretended we had the whole world figured out.Complete
