"I love you, Angel. I've never loved someone so much before." He whispers and strokes my cheek with his thumb. Another tear escapes from my eyes but he wipes it away. "Stop." I croak. The look on his face breaks my heart but I can't give in to him. It's a trap, I know it is. "You don't love me, you just... Just..." I can't finish, I can't bare to utter the rest, and thankfully I don't have to. Something flashes in his eyes and I have to look away. "If I could, I would go back and erase what happened to you. I would save you from that pain. But I know I can't do that, oh god I know! When you told me I couldn't sleep, I just kept thinking about it. But you need to know something. I'm not him. I would never do that to you, make you believe those things and then tear you apart. I wish I could give you the ability to read my mind, know what I'm saying is true. If you could so that you would realise how special you are to me." His words, they make me feel something, something so unfamiliar and scary. How is it that I can grow up having the same view my whole life but one boy can turn everything upside down and make me question my own beliefs. Placing a soft kiss to the top of my head, he pulls my towards his chest and wraps his arms around me. "One half of me..." He whispers against my hair. "One half of me is a hopeless romantic. It makes me believe in fairy tales, happy endings... destiny. But the other half is so damn realistic, sometimes it hurts. But despite the differences, they both tell me one thing. I love you and crave for you to love me back the same way."

"I want to grow up" Did you say it when you were a kid? I know I did. Have you regretted growing up at some point in your life? Have you wished you could be a careless child once again? I know you have. Everyone has. The more you grow the bigger the challenges, the obstacles, the pain. Life gets serious. You get serious. You forget to smile at the morning sun shining down your face. You are too absorved by your problems to notice the beautiful world surrounding you. And when life gets hard, you wish more than anything to turn back in time and be that small child who did not know anything when he said "I want to grow up"

DISCLAIMER: This story was written in late 2012. I wrote Strings Attached as an adolescent with no idea how a healthy, adult relationship should function. This story is dark and twisted in a way that my teen mind couldn't comprehend at the time. There are more than a few scenes in this book with sensitive content. I--in no way--support rape culture and I do not condone my character's actions. However, as I said, this story was written in an ignorant state of mind. I will not remove this story from Wattpad. It is part of my past and though I am disappointed with the content, it shows how far I've come not just as an author but as a free-thinking adult. Thank you for reading. **Excerpt** "Say... it," She gasped, throwing her head back, cupping my face in her hands so that I was forced to meet her gaze. "You're mine." She held my gaze for a second more, before crushing her lips against my own, arms wrapping tight around my neck, pulling me down to her level. Arms sliding easily around her, she wrapped her legs around me as I lifted her up, lips traveling over her chest and collarbone. She moaned as my hands dug into her tender flesh, pulling on it, their violence a stark contrast to the gentle kisses teasing their way up her neck. Bright lines marked the paths that my nails had etched into her skin, marking her, beautiful red tattoos, spreading out over her entire body. Her small hands knotted in my hair, pulling harder and harder as she fought the urge to cry out...

✓ {needs editing. my apologies} "Don't fall in love with me... I'm too damaged for you" This is no kind of fairytale. She was just too troubled to even look like a princess. Her past changed her completely, and since then, she's been living in her own world, trying to ignore everyone's opinion about how she should live her life. The few people left who really cared about her had to get used to her rebel behavior and the way she always seemed to be in danger. But then there's this guy, who forcedly comes into her life, and tries to find out her deepest secrets, those things she didn't even dare to admit to herself. When she's already taken, and with a whole reason to be who she is, will she be able to forget about everything to give into his love? And will he handle the damaged girl he fell in love with?
