PLEASE DONT BE A GHOST READER!
COMMENT AND VOTE! IT HELPS US WRITERS STAY MOTIVATED:)

the reason i always say "please don't be a ghost reader" this isnt just because i want votes, i mean i do, but ive been writing on this app for 3 almost 4 years and it helps me stay motivated because that means people are reading my stuff. and unlike other people, they have so many views on their books and i know my writing isnt the best but i love to write and it just helps me stay motivated. and i know i unpublish and republish my chapters and i get thats really annoying

tw: mentions of violence and drug addiction

alessia stood in front of her bedroom mirror, carefully applying the finishing touches to her makeup. her heart was pounding in anticipation, but not just because it was prom night-she could hear her best friends, demetri and eli, talking loudly in the living room. the excitement of the evening, combined with the chaos of her family, was starting to feel like a pressure cooker.

her hands shook slightly as she applied a light coat of lipstick, adjusting her hair one last time. she smoothed out the elegant dark green dress she had chosen for the night, its flowy material brushing softly against her legs. it wasn't just any dress-this was the dress she had dreamt of wearing since the start of senior year. she smiled at her reflection, feeling a rare sense of confidence, even as her nerves simmered just beneath the surface.

"alessia, you almost ready?" her sister's voice echoed from downstairs.

"almost!" alessia called back, taking a deep breath. "just... making sure i don't trip over my own feet," she muttered under her breath.

meanwhile, downstairs, demetri and eli were seated on the couch, anxiously waiting for alessia to finish getting ready. demetri, ever the fidgety one, was bouncing his leg nervously, while eli leaned back, arms crossed, trying to look calm-but not entirely succeeding.

"so, you boys are taking my sister to prom, huh?" alessia's sister's husband, matt, asked as he wandered into the living room. his tone was friendly, but there was an unmistakable edge to it.

demetri immediately straightened up, as if he were caught in some sort of interrogation, while eli, who had grown used to this kind of situation thanks to his tough guy persona, simply raised an eyebrow.

"uh, yeah. we're all going together," demetri said, offering a nervous smile. "just as friends, though. you know, best friends."

matt gave him a skeptical look before shifting his gaze to eli, sizing him up. "you seem like the type of guy who's gotten into a fight or two." he tilted his head. "you're not gonna cause any trouble, right?"
