Tomorrow's Blues
~"You don't- you don't need me." I stared in shock. This was the first shred of emotion he'd shown since he started avoiding me, and I had no idea how to respond. What was I supposed to say to something like that? So I let myself be honest, and I told him exactly how I felt. "But I do." I almost choked on my words. "I do need you. I can't talk to anybody else. I can't eat. I can't sleep. And I know you know what that's like."~ Liliana is now an orphan. Just 17 years old, she lost her parents in a boating accident and now she must live with her best friend, her best friend's parents and her best friend's brother, Joseph.

Black And White √
She was the girl who was afraid of love. Terrified of it. It isn't permanent, she believed, it leaves you and it leaves you broken. He was the boy who desperately needed it. Love--the only thing that could've rooted him to this world. Ophelia and Alastair. Their story of unspoken whispers and wishful hopes. Broken souls and shattered hearts. Not everything was meant to be happy. Not their story. . . . . . Text copyright © Crystal7016 ™ 2021Complete
