~Gold Medallion Awards Winner~ IMAGINE WAKING UP ON A BEACH... Your clothes, or what remains of them, are close to falling apart and rotten. They look like they have spent years in the ocean. Your hair is far too long and so are your nails. You don't remember who you are. You don't remember what you are. Overcome by your instincts, you rip apart the first person you come across, which gives you a bit of a hint. So do the fangs. But.. Things seem weird. Something isn't right. You experience things you feel you should not, while other things you expect fail to happen. You are lost, confused... There is only one thing you know for certain: Real amnesia doesn't work that way.

"I'm a jerk, but you stole my heart" ---->Derek "I'm a better person when i'm around you" ---->Halsey "I fell in love with you because you loved me when I couldn't love myself" ---->Nicholas But what shocked me the most were Alec's words... "I want you. All of you. Your flaws. Your mistakes. Your imperfections. I want you and only you." ---->Alec Brad. It all started when i agreed to move in with them. The four bad ass of Greenville. Currently, i had been forced to attend a party with them and we were all playing truth and dare at the moment with other high schoolers. The bottle was spun around and it landed between me and Alec. I was to ask the question. "Truth or dare?" I say slightly slurring on my words due to the little drinks i had taken. "Truth" he replies with a lot of confidence, smirking at me, his green eyes holding my gaze. This was the perfect time to ask him what has always been bothering me. And then my question rolls out of my tongue. "When was your last kiss?" He seemed shocked with the question but covers it up quickly with an evil smile, as he searches around for something, or maybe someone. Having found it, he turned around to face me and answered my question. "Now" And with that, he pulls me up in a swift movement, grabs my waist, draws me closer to him,and then you can imagine what happens next. My asshole is kissing me. 1st position for best blurb (special category) in The Prime Awards 2020
