The Deadly Pieces of Us
All she knew was pain. Her past struggles, traumas, and concussions were a permanent part of every stage of her existence. Although not hers, home is supposedly a place of comfort. A mother who is too egotistical, a father who treats his children badly, siblings to look after, and little sense of independence. She had no idea how she was going to make it, but he was there to help her, albeit the weights were constantly harder.
He's someone she shouldn't want. One she's to stay away from. One she's to leave alone not only because it's dangerous but because he's older. He's not for her. He's a distraction, a form of temptation but that made her want him to even more. Those who don't hear, will definitely feel but she didn't heed this warning, because the sole thought of "I couldn't possibly go through much more" was singing in her brain.
Years have passed, and she's still stuck. Decisions have been made, consequences to actions have been given and now she's on her own with responsibilities to bare.
Addiction. Depression. Anxiety. Mental Disorders. Lack of self. Sex. And Total Shortcomings. Her fate, her destiny and her life.
This will either be the best struggle she went through, or a good tale to tell in her memory.

Happiness was a factor for him. An overbearing mother. A strict father and a close knitted bond with siblings. Home was a place he looked forward to, and through it all he felt alone. It is said that wealth is the greatest pleasure but it's also the greatest sun. His family was rich, exceeding rich, they were known— too known but he wanted to be different. He wanted to be simple. He didn't want this life but he couldn't complain because as his mother always said, "there's someone else who has it worse than you do."
As the years passed, the wealth and flashy lifestyle consumed him. The loss of those dear to him. The endless partying. The parades of women. The domination. High taste for sex. But nothing could quench that endless thirst he had.
But then he saw her. She was everything at just the first sight but she was too meaningful to him. She's someone he shouldn't look at. A person he should stay away from but temptation is his favorite flavour.
