I would pick you up, and kiss all along your body starting here.❞ His thumb caresses my bottom lip, and travels down the side of my neck, before making its way down the center of my chest. His touch makes me tremble. My pulse quickens as he sends his fingers further down my stomach. ❝And I would end here.❞ He says, his hand stopping in between my legs. I can't help but moan at his sudden action.

Someone notice. Someone please notice. Anyone. Anything. Everything. She begged invisibly, silent screams shooting from her bleeding lips as she threw anxious glances towards strangers who stole them without a care. Her blood was alive, but her body was dormant. Her brain sent shock waves to the heart, breaking it piece by piece as shards of ruby lodged their way into her veins. Strangers walked by...unnoticing...preoccupied...robotic. She stood on the slight hill of the yellow line, scruffing green stains from her pearly white shoes...the grass always was greener on the other side. She had survived for so long. Silently. Successfully. She didn't want to stop...but there was no other choice. No. There was never a choice. She wanted to live...to explore...to see, what she could be. The only thing stopping her were these people. These strangers, who walked through her like a poltergeist, an angry, confused and wicked presence they disregarded from their lives. The thing adults were always most scared of...their past selves. The poltergeists of their adolescence. Spirits of long before, the times in their lives they wanted to miss. The reality was, she was a ghost. Was alive, and would be dead. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Amelia has a regret: she's tired of living.

His smooth voice was soothing to the ear but I didn't let it affect me- physically. "Lala?" I asked, changing the subject before I could let my thoughts wander. Zander shrugged, still smiling. It wasn't a big smile. It wasn't even a wicked smile. It was a genuine one. His damn dimples were showing again. "It's a nickname. Layla reminds me of Lala. Don't friends have nicks names?"
