• written words from unwritten stories • {a collection of excerpts from stories i will never write and stories that have never been written but stories that still exist}

"Do it. Let the blue engulf you. God knows it's better than feeling nothing at all." {this collection is made up of feelings that are real and beautiful and tragic - all twisted up into words that are mostly late night thoughts whom arrive when nothing can be heard but my own heartbeat.}

"Now for the winners of the barrel racing competition. In first place. You know her as the horse that came and went with the wind. Who finished in the time of fourteen point three seconds. Bailey Holt! Come on out here, Bailey." The crowd claps and cheers as I enter the arena to claim my prize. The announcer is standing in the middle with a trophy and a wad of cash in his hand. He hands me the trophy and what seems like a hundred dollars, "Why don't you tell us your way of getting this horse to win," He hands me the mic and I gladly take it. "We really don't have a way of training. We just get out there and do it. We practice every day and just see how fast we can go," I hand the mic back and he turns to the stands. "From what I've seen, she could be the next Rodeo Queen." The crowd ripples with cheers and whistles and he turns to me," So. Are you gonna shoot for Rodeo Queen?" He asks putting the mic to my face. "Why not!" I say. He pulls the mic back down and dismisses me from the arena. Rodeo Queen. Not a bad idea. *IN VERY SLOW EDITING!!!! IF SOME MISTAKES ARE THERE I WROTE THIS STORY WHEN I WAS 10 YEARS OLD AND NOW OLDER I SEE THESE MISTAKES. SO PLEASE CALM DOWN XD* *Sequel now available ;) *

'Owen is my best pal. Since we were kiddos, sleeping in one bed together has never been a big deal for both of us, even now that we're 17. We fight and argue a lot, yet we know our boundaries. But is it possible for our perspective to alter as we get older? What happens when his popularity and chick-magnet character kept him from liking a certain girl? Or was he just afraid to admit his feelings for her? Consequently, my relationship with my boyfriend, Jake Smith, is affected by my closeness with Owen. Jake gave me a choice: Either to be his girlfriend by keeping my distance from Owen or call it quits. I was not stupid. I chose the right choice. But were the consequences worth it? Teen's life? Yup, that's when we fall in love, but who? Who is the right guy? Is there a possibility that I will fall for him and for him to fall for me as well?
