******READ A BIT OF MY LATEST CHAPTER TO SEE HOW MUCH MY WRITING HAS IMPROVED LIKE HONEST ITS SO CRINGEY I CANT****** Falling in love with your best friend seemed too cliche for my liking, so me and my best friend always knew we weren't going to do just that. However, life is so unexpected and before I knew it, I had a brain tumor, was stripped of my old life and given a new one. A life without my best friend, Niall Horan. I left the X Factor, where I had made it up to bootcamp, but it didn't matter. My dreams were crushed, there was no hope. I never did tell Niall, about my brain tumor and just cut contact with him. He didn't need to worry about me. What I didn't realize is that Faith also comes into play and well Faith does whatever the hell it wants. So next thing I know, here I am, reunited with my best friend. My brain tumor is gone, and I have my best friend back. It's times like these where I realize it's just a little too good to be true. And it is. Slowly, without even meaning to, I start falling for the boy who was none other then my best friend. Everyone knows falling in love with someone you simply cannot have is a nightmare, and I feel as though this nightmare will just never end.

"It's time to start something new and trust the magic of beginnings."

Picture this: You enter the mall with your friends. As you're making your way to buy a strawberry smoothie, you notice something more delicious walking right towards you. As he comes closer, he gives you a heart stopping smirk then takes you by surprise. He pulls you into a headlock, jabs a gun in your temple, then runs away with you. As I uncover why this mysterious model kidnapped me, I find myself tackling, punching, hugging, and watching Disney movies with him. Call me reckless, but something about this troubled kidnapper is quite intriguing yet heartbreaking. Find out if I, Skylar Scrowbar, end up dead in a ditch somewhere, or end up helplessly falling in love with my sexy kidnapper.

"I need you," he whispered from the passenger seat. Why would I trust a bad boy? But I felt, for some reason, that I needed him to. I turned to look at him, but he was already leaning in to kiss me. Why is love so complicated? Maya Reeds is a seventeen year old girl thriving on independence and drive. She thinks boys are mindless, immature imbeciles and has steered clear of the entire concept of love in general. Her single mother is not just a role model, but an inspiration. Leaving for a business trip to China, Maya's mother has high ambitions for her future. However, she can't leave her daughter alone for all those months. That's where Carrie Groom comes in. Carrie has been friends with Maya's mom for years, and her home seems like a harmless place to stay for the duration of Maya's seeming abandonment. Never thought that Carrie could've raised a bad boy. As Maya endures this temporary move, she is sent into a whirlwind of desire, heated emotions, and betrayal- all fueled by the boy who lives just down the hall.

-COMPLETED -BK 3 IN PROGRESS- Business. It's all about business now. Nobody should give a single damn about love or how it does and doesn’t affect things. But Ashley does. After almost a year of absolutely nothing exchanged between her and Niall she's almost at breaking point. Nothing's worth it without him, right? Wrong. What if you got that second chance? That chance to scrap the first take and go for a Second Snapshot? A crazy encounter at the wrong time can lead to a lot of things changing. For better or for worse is unknown, but then again, now, what isn't? But when so many lies and fake smiles have lead them up to this point is it really wise to even spare each other a second glance? When everything's uncertain and nobody can seem to utter a word about what happened and what still lingers now nothing seems possible for changing. Change is scary, it's foreign and it spells for everything Ashley's not used to, un-organisation. Life works like clockwork for Ashley but when Niall comes back fully prepared to be her spanner in the works things aren't always as bad or as good as they may seem. Because now, everything happens for a reason and nothing's going to go un-noticed under the watchful eye of the people that are ready to do just about anything and everything to keep Niall and Ashley away from each other, have no direct contact and most of all, make sure they do not, under any circumstances; fall in love again. But little do they know that falling in love again is not a possibility as oblivious to the other, neither of them ever fell out of it.

I dare you, to promise me you'll be mine forever. It doesn't take much. Just capture my heart and keep it. We can make some memories worth keeping on the way.' Secrets. How would you feel if you knew that pretty much all the people that you thought never would, were keeping secrets from you? There's something being hidden. And it's something big. And Ashley's determined to find out what. But it's not only what she wasn't told, it's what was lied to her about. It always seems to be the people she least expects. It's not only the fact that she really doesn't know as much about her past, present and future as she thought, someone's determined to make sure of three things. One: That she remains as clueless as she has done for years. Two: That her life is a mysterious living hell. Three: That she's put into so much jeopardy and sabotage that she can't take it anymore and crumbles underneath the pressure of being stalked and sabotaged. Basically, they want to make her go completely mad.

Life isn't about fighting off the bad anymore, it's about preventing it in the first place. And sometimes, you really can't trust anyone anymore, even if you want to. After all, you're more vulnerable when you're standing alone.

Problem is, you've never heard of these boys before, ever, and you don't really want anything to do with them. Having enough to deal with back at home with only a alcoholic mother and two three-year old siblings is enough. But when one bandmember falls for you and offers you the unexpectable, how can you refuse? -hey follow me on twitter @miniturdx- new account as of august 2015! i'll be more active on twitter than this account :)

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.

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.
