Once upon a time, there was a beautiful girl who was unable to see her own worth. She found beauty in the simple things, like roses, kind smiles, good music, and a deep conversation. But she was not simple, so she was unable to see anything worth while about herself. This girl was beaten down by the cruelties of this world, but then she meets him, her prince charming. But can even he convince her of her true beauty? Or will she ruin any good that comes into both his and her lives forever? ----- This is a story about a girl named Jane who is forced to be someone she is not. I wrote this story because I feel like we all have to conform to be how society wants us to be, when that's not who we really are, sometime in our lives. But we all have an escape. Sometimes it's through music, reading, friends, or whatever. Jane's escape comes through a boy named Mystery who helps her grow and flourish who she really is. Please read, it means so much to me because writing and helping others is my personal escape! I love you all so much! It's almost completed! I understand that my grammar is not perfect so please be patient with me because I will fix it someday! ;) *NOTE* This story contains some graphic scenes of self harm and suicide. Read at your own risk. This story was meant solely for awareness.

Finn meets someone he least expects to see on the cruise ship, Tommy. He's in a gang that is most feared by any other. They've both had a bad past. He's out to kill Finn but keeps capturing Mia instead. Can Mia and Finn last the two weeks without anyone getting suspicious about the "gang" Tommy is in and how he wants Finn dead? Will it bring Mia and Finn together or tear them apart? It could be paradise, or it could be hell. You'll just have to see ;) •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• [ If you were wondering, this is not one of those stories about gangs where there's a lot of killing. There are no deaths or anything :) ] I suck at writing descriptions, so please don't let this failed attempt stop you from reading it!

Authors Note I thought it was best to place this here as an avid reader on wattpad I know the frustrations with constant authors notes on or between chapters. I have wrote a back log of chapters before begining to post my so to save from long periods of time with no updates. I plan to update a chapter with a minimum of roughly 1100 words every weekend.

I'm open to read requests/recommendations as I love to read but I only ask you read and recommend my story too :). This story will contain swearing/cuss words and occasional mature themes.
