'If you were to ask me why I lied, I wouldn't have been able to give you a straight answer. The lie slithered out, smooth and easy like a serpent coiling around its unsuspecting prey. I must have lost my god damned mind. I had every intention of telling my mother about the home invasion but when the moment came I remembered the uncouth stranger. He was so much younger than I had expected with a shaven buzz-cut that shaped the top of his head into a halo of a dusty brown shadow. He had the air of faded mystery, the type of man that craved attention so badly that all mystery is replaced with arrogance. The stand-offish air about him only made him more alluring as he radiated within the darkness as though he belonged there. As if the darkness was all he knew and the only place where he could be understood. He was an enigma, a man that contorted my common sense into a pool of mush at our feet as I was held against the wall.'

When James Norton woke up night to find his phone being stolen right under his nose he never expected to care about the stranger the way he had. He was uncouth and vulgar, but James didn't care, and allowed the invader to take a part of him down the stairs and out of his life. The man looked like he needed it. But now he's determined to find him, search him out and offer a chance for help, a friend even.

Don't Fall in Love With Me
"Who are you exactly?!" I growled angrily. She tried to free herself from my grasp, but I pinned her to the wall. She glared at me angrily as she kept pushing me. "I don't fucking need to tell you anything!" She spat. "I am not leaving until you tell me!" I whispered angrily as I leaned in closer. I felt her stiffening up, and as I felt she will reveal, instead she smirked as she whispered in my ear, "You don't want to do something Aiden, which you might regret later!" I backed up at her words as she walked away, not turning around once. "Who are you...?"

Undercover (Boyxboy)
My heart pulsated through my chest and I didn't think I could hold on for much longer. The frightening, terrorising feeling of his fingers slipping through mine was causing the arm that was gripping to the edge of the cliff to shake. "Hold on, Harry! I've got you, I swear! Please, just hold on!" my voice held a shrill of terror to it and my eyes were filling with tears; tears of pain, frustration and sheer horror. Harry moved his gaze from our slipping fingers to my eyes. "It's okay, Ethan. Let go. You can't save me; not this time." I hated how calm his tone was. I hated how defeated he sounded. He had never given up - we always held hope for one another! We never gave up. "Don't you say that to me! Don't you fucking say that to me!" I roared, a small sob escaping my lips. Harry just smiled sadly, his muscular, beautiful body swaying in the harsh wind. The fall was so big; he would surely die of a heart attack before he hit the ground. I prayed to God he would. No. I was breaking my own rule; I would not give up on him. Either both of us lived or neither of us would. My life would be over the second his ended, anyway.Complete
Delirium: Crash & Burn
" What's your name?" a deep gentle voice elevated above my head, like the voice of God. I looked up and met a pair of piercing blue eyes. He smiled, a small sexy grin, exposing his perfect teeth, his cheeks dipped inwards revealing small caves of dimples. His skin was tan and dusted lightly with freckles, his hair was dark and effortlessly messy as if he had just gotten out of bed. He too had a series of tattoos on his forearms, none of them connected, each tattoo separate. I couldn't help my eyes from roaming. He was strikingly handsome. •❅──────✧❅✦❅✧──────❅• A dark twist on a classic teen fiction. A story written through four very different perspectives. A world full of bad boys, parties, drugs, and lies. But it's more than the typical teen story. In this dark teen fiction each character has a complex and serious back story and each character has to overcome the lies, love, lust, and trauma that they face. A story about experiencing first times, overcoming hard times and finding your true self in due time.
