(THIS IS NOT A FANFIC)

She's my best friend and she is also taken. It was a 4 year love affair that consumed me. But the guy she loves is not a good guy. It was not truly my choice that it ended, but it feels better to tell myself I had some say in all of it. She was someone who really influenced the way I saw things in terms of not being able to have what I wanted and just being close to a life that I really envisioned and loved. She showed me what it's like to stand an arms length from love and then watch it walk away. She's so beautiful, but never cocky. Everything I had longed for was never really mine. I know I'm capable of picking up the pieces of my shattered self, but I can't seem to put them back together quite right. 
For this I will spend eternity "Loving From The Shadows"

He's my best friend. He's also the perfect guy. Gorgeous yet somehow he stays humble. A genius yet he still manages not to sound condescending. He holds the doors and says the right thing. He listens and comforts. He's flawless in every way imaginable. 
Maybe that's why I can't have him.
I've never allowed myself to think of him that way because he's just too good to be true. Maybe that's why I fell for Mike... because he's not perfect. He seems more real. 
Obviously I know nothing about real. 
I guess as penance for my mistakes I will spend eternity "Loving From The Shadows."

The Bad Boy and The Tomboy

115 parts Complete

The Bad Boy and The Tomboy is now published as a Wattpad Book! As a Wattpad reader, you can access both the Original Edition and Books Edition upon purchase. Nicknames, a love of soccer, and school rumors are all the bad boy and the tomboy have in common. But if they give each other a chance, will they find something more? ***** Seventeen-year-old Macy Anderson is a tomboy that plays soccer, hangs with the guys, can't stand girls (except her best friend Jasmine) and doesn't know who Sam Cahill is. But when the pair unexpectedly meet, everything goes downhill from there. Because Sam Cahill is the school's bad boy, known for skipping classes and getting into trouble. Not to mention his cocky attitude, British accent, and magnetic charm, which seems to work on all the girls -- except Macy, who has a rule not date in high school. But when Sam starts showing her his moves (on and off the soccer field), Macy begins to see a different guy under the leather-clad exterior. Will that be enough to convince her that he's the one guy worth breaking the rules for? [[Word count: 300,000 - 350,000 words]] [[2015 Watty Winner]] All Rights Reserved- ©nikki20038
