~ around them was glass and shards and the broken lights of the car that flickered like the light in their eyes as they reached out for each other's broken hands which shivered and bled onto the asphalt; red, red, red, while they spilled blood and love alike - red, black, blinded - and they d i e d ~

Emma. An ordinary girl with no peculiarities, but a special past and a life made out of moments shared with -
Finn. Her childhood friend, class mate and colleague in being absolutely and utterly ordinary.
Emma and Finn. Finn and Emma.

And then one evening and one car accident that changes it all.

''So, do you wanna go back to my place, eat some pizza, watch a Disney movie and maybe fall hopelessly in love?'' I laugh and nod. Blake's whole face lights up and he leans in brushing a strand of hair away from my eyes before his lips crashed down on mine and we were kissing. His lips come away from mine and he smiles at me, rubbing his lips together. ''You taste like strawberry'' He murmurs in my ear. 𝐃𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈 𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐧𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭?

And it killed me inside because I had never noticed him look at me that way. How long had Nate been looking at me like that? A year? Two? His whole life? Why had I never seen it before? Why was I so oblivious to my surroundings? Why was I so stupid, that I couldn't see that my best friend was in love with me? 𝑩𝒐𝒕𝒉 𝒃𝒐𝒚𝒔 𝒘𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒎𝒆, 𝒃𝒖𝒕 𝑰 𝒉𝒂𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒎𝒂𝒌𝒆 𝒂 𝒅𝒆𝒄𝒊𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏.

57 parts Complete Mature
Tessa's love life is full of clichés. She fell for the boy next door, her brother's best friend, and her childhood crush. They all just happen to be the same guy- Levi Daniels. Tessa and Levi seem to be stuck in an endless loop of right person, wrong time scenarios where one of them is single when the other isn't. One summer, that finally changes. Both Tessa and Levi are single, and the spark that's always been there seems to burn brighter than ever before as the two join their friends for another summer of fun at their coveted lake house. Things couldn't be better. Their star-crossed love seems to finally be morphing into a fairy tale, but is one night really all it takes for them to find their happily ever after? You know what they say... If it seems too good to be true, it probably is. ~ Levi did the one thing he wasn't supposed to do. He fell for his best friend's sister- someone he would never be free of if anything bad ever happened. There was something about Tessa Rhodes that kept him coming back. She was his kryptonite, and no matter how hard he tried, he could never quite bury his feelings for her. Then came the summer that changed everything. Levi finally decided to let his inhibitions go. Even if it didn't work out, he had to see what would happen. He told Tessa everything, baring his feelings, and leaving the ball in her court. One night would change their relationship forever, and an infuriating discovery the next morning would threaten to ruin them for good. ~ What happened in the course of those few hours that took these lovebirds from happily ever after to heartbreak hotel? Find out in The Summer Before.

"Hey! You dropped your wallet in - " Emma's words die in her mouth as she glances down upon a picture tucked in the wallet. A picture of her and the blue-eyed stranger to be exact - one in which he's kissing her cheek as she lovingly gazes at the camera. Shocked to her core, and frankly terrified as well, she looks up to see the same stranger intently staring at her. "Emma," he breathes cautiously, "I can explain." Fate is a twisted yet beautiful thing. If two people are meant to be together, no force on earth or heavens can ever tear them apart. So it is decided that at the end of the day, the boy she left behind will catch up and sweep her off her feet. Even when Emma fails to recognise him. ~~~~~~~~~~ Highest ratings: No. 01 - Short story - 03/October/2019 No. 02 - Short story - 04/October/2019 ~~~~~~~~~~ Story was completed on the 7th of September' 2016, but it's unedited so read at your own risk.
