Even though I had just met him, Aaron has genuinely begun to care about me. I don’t understand how or why…but he does. It’s like he doesn’t see me for my past…just who I am today, and who I could be tomorrow. I took a closer look at him and really though it over, what’s the catch here? What does the James family want from me? Is there some cash bonus for raising ex-gangsters? “You’re a piece of work you know that?” Aaron sighed, snapping me free of my thoughts. I shrugged my shoulders, and we s

I woke up excited and ready to go. I looked towards Aaron, who was sitting at his desk reading once again, does that kid ever do anything besides study? Today’s schedule: play basketball and hangout…just be a teenager Riley…I nodded my head lightly, I can do this. I grabbed the pillow from under my head and threw it at him “Fuckin nerd.” I taunted, sitting up He let the soft pillow bounce off his head and let out a small sigh “Real mature.” “That’s what you get for studying during summer.” I

I completely agree! When it comes to working with children (especially those who have had unfortunately life experiences) you need to give absolute 110%. I'm sure you've accomplished amazing things!

The next chapter or two might have a bit more cliches/be slighlty cliche in themselves, but the story will grow out of them soon.

Glad to hear!

I opened my eyes and looked over to the city of Chicago, I never would’ve imagined I would be spending time in a house like this…well legally at least. I let the wind ruffle through my hair a little bit longer, before finally making the slow climb back to the ground. I took another big breathe of the clean end of summer air and wandered back into the mansion. “Cy.” I heard Mrs. James call out “Dinner’s almost ready, why don’t you go clean up?” I headed to the bathroom without saying anything a

I understand your hesitation, but am glad you came back! And of course that you enjoyed it! I'm really glad you had really liked it! Halfway through I started to have my doubts about its reception, but am really happy to hear you all enjoyed it!

Thank you! I'm really glad you enjoyed it! As for growing as a writer, I have all of you to thank for that! This site has a great community, and I'm really happy to be able to contribute to it!

Good to hear! I'm going for a new angle and outlook, but it will still tat same style I've been developing.

Thank you! That sounds like an amazing and rewarding job! I actually work with a large population of at risk youth as an intern now, a decent amount of them are foster kids so I know what you mean! This story actually was inspired by a lot of them. When I first met them the majority were cold and constantly challenged my authority, but as time passed and we all bonded, and I saw the good you spoke of in them. I'm slowly learning that the key is making them see it in themselves the way we all do!

Ya know, I always figured that my first time in handcuffs would be bad ass. I would go out in a blaze of glory, cops having to chase me down, maybe even taze me! But no! A god damn police raid! I knew joining a gang was stupid! I was better off on my own! Yet over these past 2 and a half years they’ve become my brothers…my family. We looked out for one another, and when it came to robbing a place blind, heh, well I guess there was no one better than me. Maybe I should back it up a bit, my names

In his 15 years of life Cy Walker has seen it all. From being on his own to working his way up the ladder of his Chicago Gang...there's nothing he can't do. However when he's arrested during a police raid, and fostered by a wealthy family he finds his greatest challenge has just begun. (Note: even though this is book 3, no prior knowledge is required)

I'm glad you are! I think you'll enjoy the style of blinded, the concept will be darkness trying to learn how to be light. As I saw your reviews these past few chapters I couldn't stop from smiling, knowing you would enjoy the ending. (Of course I don't blame you for being on the defensive ). Anyway, thank you for sticking around on this journey! I hope it was as worth it for you guys, as it was for me!

Thank you! I'm really glad you enjoyed it! This story was me playing around with the idea of a dark story that seemingly gets heartbreaking but finds it's way back to the light! It was really fun to write, especially the last 2 chapters! These past 2 stories have been a wild journey full of ups and downs, thank you for taking it with me!

The older I got the more and more I heard people tell me love was a lie, that it was phony. It seems as though people have stopped believing in it, and yet I never had to believe in it…it was always right there by my side. After that night in the gym, the night my real father took me in, the night I became the man I was destined to be…well things got real! Frankie Edgar a UFC fighter from New Jersey at the time, offered to train me and Mason Terry when he was in between fights. The two of us gre

The rest of the day was hard, but Jayden was there every step of the way. Every time I passed Eli’s locker I felt a longing towards him, there’s so much left I need to learn from him, so much more I wanted to know about him. I know this is what he needed, but damn, he was my safety net, the one I could always go to for advice when I needed it. I know I can always call him, but it won’t be the same…plane tickets are cheap right? “Hey Aidan.” My dad called out as I walked up stairs after another

Love is complicated, luckily you won't have to wait too long for your answer.

“Perry we need to go!” I screamed, running to get my things together “We need to go now!” “What, but sir…” “NOW!” I shouted, barely even getting a shirt on. He quickly grabbed Brooke and ran out to get the car ready. “Aidan what’s going on?” Ivy asked, beginning to catch the fear in my eyes. “Nothing, I-I just….Just tell Jayden I love him.” I shook my head and ran towards the door “I’ll explain tomorrow at school okay?” She made a face and slowly nodded her head. I ripped open the back door

That morning it was impossible to wake up in anything but a good mood. I never thought I would trust anyone like I trust Jayden. I never thought I would have a connection like we do. I looked up from the air mattress onto his bed and smiled at the quietly sleeping teen who owned my heart. Everything about him was beyond perfect. He was the one I wanted to grow up with, the one I wanted to learn with, the one I wanted to succeed with, and if it comes to it fail with. He turned onto his side and

I looked at the two adults in front of me, as I held their son closely. I want them to know how important he is to me, that he’s number 1 in my life. I’ll prove it to them this weekend, I’ll show them that I’m taking their son to great places. As they began to walk out I held onto Jayden a little tighter and slowed his pace “You mad?” “No.” he shook “That was all just, it wasn’t easy to match.” “I know…thank you for being here for me.” I comforted, resting against him “I love having you here,

I felt Jayden’s eyes keying in on me as he absorbed the image of me in a big varsity jacket. I looked over and giggled at the stupid grin that covered his lightly freckled face. I could tell he was proud, hell maybe even just as proud as me. I reached out and with a gentle push sent him falling back a few steps. “All right!” Ivy exclaimed “They’re getting flirty again!” Henry groaned and began to walk towards the door “Nope! Not dealing with that!” “I love him!” I shouted in laughter to furth

I'm glad the pacing didn't throw you off! I just felt like I needed to give the gas peddle a bit of a tap to push forward! Also glad you liked it, and that you're getting updates again!

This whole time I thought I would be the one to breakthrough to Eli, to help him begin to heal, to bring him back. Yet life has a funny way of putting back together what it’s broken, a funny way of uniting two souls who have lost almost everything. Jayden stepped back and wiped the tears from his eyes. I saw him silently nod to Eli before giving me a quick peck on the lips and scurrying away in attempt to catch his bus “Gee, love you too J!” I teased, watching him dart through the emptying hall

That did, I thought you were talking about the other center that was there for some reason. If you got to see that concert at giants stadium thats amazing! Lately that area has been metlife stadium, the race track and they're finally making progress on that weird mall thing! If you remember it the old indoor center is still there, its just only used for bands to practice. Great memory! I live around that area! I actually used to row on the passaic river (fell in a few times too! It's just as gross as everyone says it is!) Nothing beats growing up in Jersey!

Hmm that's really odd. It shows your following me as an author (thank you for that!) and while I know it has shown in the past you were following Crestfallen (Thanks once again!) for whatever reason right now it says you aren't. Perhaps either unfollow and follow again, or make sure you're following (perhaps some type of glitch unfollowed you.) As for the Chapter I'm glad you loved it! I agree the emotions were awesome! It's really good to see Eli slowly acting like Eli again!
