Riley It felt as if someone had sucker punched me as soon as my eyes landed on his face. His blonde dyed hair, his dark brown eyes even the thin silver chain that hung on his neck, it all turned me red in the face. My pen fell from my hand, drawing just the attention that I needed right now. I'm convinced that some cosmic being hates me! *** Richard Just when I thought I'd be able to get her out of my head, there she was. I didn't mean to be a complete dick towards her earlier, she's just gets so pissed off so easily I find it amusing. She was like dynamite, I learnt that today but that only made her more intriguing. *** They met when she wasn't ready. She thought he was just another rich kid looking for his next chase. He found her intriguing. Swept up in a turmoil of emotions, from lust and desire to pain and heartbreak, the one thing she could never deny was that he was INSATIABLE.

"You were worried about me, Specs?" He smirked. "No, Tyler. I hoped that someone cut up your corpse and fed it to paranas. Obviously I was, you idiot! I'm a doctor. Worrying about people is kind of programmed into my system. It's a curse if you ask me," I surprised myself a lot more than I thought was possible with my answer. And what did he do? Laugh! He fucking laughed! Not full on rolling- on- the- floor laughter but a laugh nonetheless. "This isn't funny, Tyler." "It kind of is. Almost a month ago, I would've sworn that you hated me. Be careful, Specs," he squinted down at me, "or you might actually sound as if you like me." I rolled my eyes. "Don't flatter yourself. I was concerned. Don't confuse that with affection. It's two very, very different things." *** When you think that all is not lost in the world. That not all men are pricks and that not all sushi is bad. When you think that there is a light, no matter how dim, at the end of the tunnel. When you think that life isn't the ruthless bitch you've always thought it was... It turns around and bites you in the ass. When you think that the past will always and forever remain where it should be... It comes at you from every direction. Like a violent tsunami destroying everything...and everyone in it's path. Can you change what happened? I wish. Can you stop what's going to happen? God! I really hope so.
