They only look where they want to look and talk about what they want to talk about. This inlaces talking ab...

Our love was toxic, a blight on society. Our families were against us. Our friends were against us. Our town was against. But despite the odds our love was strong. No one saw the beauty in our love. They only saw poor girl taking the rich boy for a ride. A gold digger after his money. That was a lie. The truth was that I loved my Romeo. My Romeo made me happy. He made me smile l...

My story begins two years ago in the town of Brookhaven. I was a girl who loved to run. Day and night I would be running. Nothing could stop me not even my parents.

Sometime ago, I left my home. I left my town. I left everything I knew and for what. I thought I had everything planned out. I was wrong. I was so very wrong. I don't know where I am. I've lost my sense of direction. I left heading north towards the big city and somewhere along the way I made a wrong turn. I can't find where I am on my map and neither can my GPS. I'm coming up blank. I look at my map again trying to find my location but I can't. My GPS is saying location not found. I'm getting scared. I'm all alone. The sun is setting and I'...

Two cities. One dream. Which one is real? The city with the beautiful ocean. The one with the beautiful green grass and the smiling people. Or the city that is dark with dark gloomy skies.
