Following the collapse of governments worldwide after an unknown source started a mass biological terrorist attack, people are left to fend off the uncontainable diseases and viruses that attack them at every turn. Neighbors, friends, and families have turned against each other, law enforcement has crumbled, and cities are now in the hands of power thirsty survivors. It has been one year since The Downfall, and though the chaos has long since died down, new threats are starting to make themselves known, bringing a whole new level of difficulty to surviving in the post apocalyptic setting that was once America. 17 year old "Max" is left to her own devices as her parents have long since passed and she is now on the hunt for who may be the last surviving member of her immediate family. Already thinking she has gotten past the worst of it, she has yet to realize that the true threat is yet to come. Follow Max as she learns the true meaning of survival, faces harrowing decisions, and has the opportunity to fix something that was once thought to be irreparable. _____Authors Note_____Thank you for taking the time to read my story. I honestly don't know where I plan on going with this as It's mainly just being used to get my mind off of the stress of school and home life. The story is inspired by The Walking Dead and Tom Clancy's The Division. I'm completely winging the plot as I never plan things ahead properly. The story may be altered where I see fit and I apologize ahead of time for any errors in my writing. I'm seriously just writing and developing the story as I go.…

Every other person probably wanted to be something like a lawyer, a doctor or maybe even work at a regular 9-to-5 office job - something respectable, you know? But not Lili Sanders, of course - the idea of studying during her prime years to just spend the rest of her life slaving away as a cog in a huge corporate machine sounded... very distasteful at best. Lili thought she had the potential for something much greater and that was, of course, youtube! But there was only one major problem. Being a famous youtuber...meant that you would have to show your face, right? And that aspect of becoming a youtuber did not sound that appealing to Lili. At all. Because getting bullied for her looks didn't exactly give her the confidence to record herself for the whole world to see. Plus the fact that Lili lacked the charisma, personality and popularity needed to achieve youtube stardom also meant that her dream of becoming a youtuber, let alone a successful one, was pretty much down the drain. You would think she would've given up by now, but Lili is not the type to give up that easily. Hell no, she is Lili Sanders! Four time Scrabble state championship winner, and also vice president of the yearbook club Lili Sanders. Proud and at times stubborn, but that was how she got things done.Obviously, she did the most logical thing she thought of: put on a mask and started recording, of course! But what happened when her classmate, Fynn Williams a.k.a the owner of the infamous youtube channel "Fynn's Film Vlogs" and also the playboy of Crestview High School suddenly wanted to collaborate on a video?Let's just say it made up one hell of a vlog.…

"Rules?" I questioned, raw confusion blatant in my voice. I didn't dare move from my former position; my arms crossed tightly over my chest as glued in the spot. The whole class had stopped talking now and seemed to be as frozen as I was.He wasn't bothered at all, hopping off his desk as fluently as one would speak their first language. As he walked his eyes pierced into me, almost as frozen in place as the crowd on him; the difference being their eyes didn't make him angry, stubborn yet all the more; weak. Then it happened, his mouth started to curve into a smirk; his face full of perfect angles of chaotic amusement. I took a shape intake of breath before he spoke in his usual 'I-couldn't-care-less' drawl, "Yes, rules. That's what I propose; I will make them of course. Do you think your up for it?"ווווווווווווווווווווווווOlivia Jones was invisible until she is suddenly moved into a class full of the school's most important people, one of which is is completely in love with.Suddenly her world is in plain view for everyone who never saw her; so when she is presented with a deal from the infamous August Lee, will she take it?

Choose-------------Tomorrow came, actually today cause it was currently the 13th of February, a day to the day of barf...sorry, I meant love, the day of love.Today came and my stomach and heart became one. I wasn't sure which one was beating and which one was rolling.So...I was nervous. I wasn't sure why though but I couldn't deny, I was terribly nervous.Limp---------"I love you"Love, such a strong word. Very powerful indeed. Love can break obstacles, love can move mountains, blah blah blah.I agree, love is a very strong word but the way 'he' said it made it sound weak and limp, limper than an old man's dic-Sorry, kinda diverted there. Ah yes, the way he said it made it sound weak, very unlike the strong fabled word.I certainly didn't feel butterflies or apes or whatever it is that's meant to stampede in your belly when someone says that word. It felt flat, too flat.The next step-----------------------Marriage, the stupid knot that binds two people together for life.When he got down on one knee and pulled out the red velvet box, my hands instinctively went to cover my mouth. Not in the cliche surprised way you think but in the horror, shocked but not too surprised way. I had expected this but definitely not now, with so many darn people around. I had expected this for a while now. Not because I was eager to get to the next level in our relationship but because he was terrible at hiding it. I had already seen the ring three months ago and a week before that, I had seen the receipt for it from the jewellers. Over the course of the three months, I had been expecting this but surely not with the expense of so many expectant faces.Just a collection of oneshot valentine stories. Word count: I dunno.Warning:Not all stories have happy endings, life is unfair so we cannot always have happy endings. Stories would be updated irregularly...or regularly I.e. when I'm not feeling lazy.Peace out#hobimelonsugaandtaeXoxoHanjat…
