Small towns always hold the biggest secrets.

She's a girl obsessed with the idea of death and anything dark. He's a guy, that just screams darkness. He has a secret, she wasn't supposed to see. ☆☆☆☆ The cold sharp silver enters my body, sending chills and goosebumps all over. Still staring into his eyes, they're filled with anger and jealousy.

He snapped out his thoughts when he heard the soft voice calling his name. "Yes princess?" He questioned her as softly as possible with his deep voice. The young girl blinked up at him curiously while grinning, "What are you thinking so hard of? I've been calling out your name for a few times now." He shook his head and chuckled, "Nothing you need to worry about princess." ••• He had always been the quiet and brooding one, even with people who are close to him, which aren't many. He was tainted in every way. He knew it was wrong to have such strong feelings for his friend's innocent little sister who was way younger than him and especially since she treated him like her own brother. ••• In which a reserved man became obsessed with his friend's little sister who had always thought that there's some good in everyone, even in the worse kind of people.

"She lays down on the bedroom floor The chemicals that make her love don't seem to be working anymore"-The 1975 Her fingers hover over the keypad, desperate to say something but not knowing at all what to say. There are so many things that she wants to say to him, so many things that she'd already said aloud and that she'd talked herself into saying to make sure he knew how much he'd hurt her, how much he was still hurting her. But it was pointless. He doesn't want to listen and he hardly even cares. She's just wasting her breath like he's wasting her time.

It's quiet except for the sound of the heater blasting away the coldness. The moon is a brilliant glow in the dark sky, and rays of light fall across his face every now and then. Our eyes meet in the dark, his expression heavy and thoughtful. We sit in silence for a moment, our gazes locked, before he slowly reaches out and brushes warm fingers gently across my jaw. He looks down at my lips and I feel something I've never felt before. I'm not scared, and yet I'm terrified. It feels like an eternity passes before he swallows hard, pulling his hand away. It's dark for a moment, and then the moon emerges from behind a cloud, and everything is light. I take it in with wide eyes. This feels like magic, if magic could exist. I feel the warmth of his hand on my lower back. It's steady, comforting. I like it. And I... I wish he had kissed me.
