•Book Two• He was there when I needed someone. He cheered me up when I'm feeling down. He made me happy when I'm full of sadness. He loved me, when I'm still hoping for another person to love me back. But he left. He started walking away when he thought I'm happy. He started turning his back on me when he thought I'm satisfied with what I have. He stopped loving me, when I finally admitted to myself what I really feel for him. It is so deep that it's starting to drown me. Like the fire that's starting to burn my skin. Like a star that's starting to get away from me. He left... when I can finally say what I really for him. Can I say the three letter words to make him stay? Or should I say goodbye for him to be free from me?

❝for I am nothing but a statue watching you come and go.❞ she refuses to let go of him, he refuses to know of her existence

"this is your kind of story. no one is the good guy-- no one is the bad guy-- the blame shifts from monster to monster and in this place everyone bares their teeth." [featured. highest ranking: #6 in poetry.]

I started writing this story when I was literally a child so please understand that before you read this monstrosity. Please do not comment about how I should change it, how it doesn't make sense, or how it may be going too fast... as I said, it was written by a pre-teen. Read at your own risk. Aria's mom died when she was 13. Now she is 18 and her cruel step mother and sister treat her like crap and her dad is always working. When a new boy comes to her school named Alek, Aria feels an attraction to him. They run away beacause of a killer wanting Aria and he explains that he's a vampire and she's his mate, blah blah blah. This is a story of love, humor, peril, adventure, grief, and anger. After all this, will their love be able to last?
