"You're just the collateral. Don't get your hopes up sweetheart. Once your parents pay, you're going back to them." His words are like little knives stabbing me. To say that it's sad that I would rather be an insurance policy than be at home is an understatement. It's pathetic, depressing, and sad. Pathetic on my parents part and sad on mine. Ever since I turned thirteen, my 'okay' parents turned to the monsters under my bed. Using me, hurting me, and now pawning me off to some criminal. So when Anthony told me what's really going to happen. My words got caught in my throat and my heart sank.
"So, you're just going to give me back?" I ask quietly, still soaking in the new information. He nods his head and his cold eyes never leave my own.
"You're not being saved sweetie, I bet it must suck knowing that nobody cares enough to try." He spits venomously and I cringe at his words. He was right, I'm twenty and nobody has come to rescue me. Anthony Barella, drug lord, mafia overlord. Who knows? I only know that he's one hundred percent right. My life is my permanent hell. After all, I'm just the collateral.

Enchanted
She was lost and so was he. Who knew that two broken hearts can connect to one. Arabella's world has been rigged since the day she was born. Her fate had been decided for her much longer before she even had been conceived in the womb. So it came as no surprise when she found herself back at the beginning. As if the pain she has previously experienced wasn't enough, she now needs to relearn how to balance her life. She can't help but pray to the universe for a break. She was exhausted from fighting for all she had and watching her life fall apart just as quickly as it had come back together. Dominic's life was something he would forever be grateful for since he knew that he never had it as rough as others. But there were always going to be times that he wanted to give up. With the responsibility of leading an entire mafia and his own past commitment issues, he believes the barrier to letting go is far greater than what others tell him. And when new desires emerge, he notes how his heart skips a beat whenever he sees her. His instinct kicks in, and he raises his barriers twice as high as she lowers hers to make place for him. All I was guilty of, was showing them mercy when no one else would. ~~~ "I saw you, Dominic. I wish you saw me." "I see you." I freeze at his words, my back facing him. "I can only see you. Everything I look at, everything I touch, everything I smell always leads back to you. I spent most of my life thinking that my heart was my biggest weakness. I always imagined that it would be my downfall. I had a loving family and that was enough for me. Getting a girlfriend, getting married, having a family, none of that mattered to me. Before you." He pauses, taking a breath and my eyes water. "I kept any other part of my heart guarded and almost locked. It was as if I didn't have one at all. Even now, its still fucked up. The lock I've kept is warned out though the only person who has its key is you. It's yours."Complete
Melancholy

Now she's built herself up using her pain as the next step to her strength. She's learnt how to strive forward even as her past haunts her mind crawling up her back every passing second. That is until the first 7 people who only ever brought her pain find their way back into her life. She has no way to let go of her past when they come right back to her. The world showed her no mercy in it's ways so why should she. ~~~ I let out a small sigh wanting more of this. I wanted to be held like this whenever I felt broken. Feel the way he puts me back together in his arms. It ate at my heart and I could have sworn I felt a feathery kiss on my head. It was as if he could hear my thoughts and was kissing them away for me. Slowly he lets one hand go, the other staying around me as he brings my chin up to him gently wiping my last tears as more fill my eyes. He sees this and his eyes look... crumbled. If you feel this way then why can't you choose me, Dominic. I shake my head from his hands wishing to step back but he pulls me back to him a pain filled groan leaving him. "Just one more minute. Please." His body shook and I brought him closer, feeling our pain become one. Our hurricanes of minds pull away even for the smallest time letting us stand together as one in each other's embrace. He was it for me. But I wasn't his.Complete

When two young lovers find themselves in the middle of the storm, can love conquer all? ----------------------- "Hi," I whispered. He reached up, resting his hand on my cheek. "Hi..." He drew my face down to his. His nose touched mine, and his tongue came out to do a quick swoop against my lower lip. I opened my mouth and attached it to his. He moaned, and we tangled our tongues together. His hands went lower, grasping onto my hips, to pull me down. I felt his hardness and whimpered. It felt huge and rock hard. I eased up, just to come back, and rub against it. He pulled my hair back, placing kisses down my neck. "Wow," I sighed, lamely, while I rubbed my pussy against his steel cock. He gave my ass a light spank and leaned his head away from me. "Back up a minute." He looked as though he was in pain. I frowned, doing as he asked. He reached into his pants and my eyes went wide. He was about to show me his cock. "Let me see it baby." I moaned, like the wanton slut I am. He smiled and pulled out a gun. "See?" I screamed, falling from his lap, and landing in the garbage that fills my living room.
The Idea Of You
"I'll leave you alone." His words filled the tormenting silence, "After tonight you won't have to see me again, only in class and that's it." My heart ached at his words, why? This should be a good thing, I wouldn't have to deal with Alejandro Rodriguez ever again. So why... Why does the thought of him not being around hurt. I stopped playing with my food and slowly lifted my head to look at him. He stared straight into my watery eyes. His face filled with regret and concern. He stood up from his seat and walked over to me, squatting down to my level. "Hey, hey." He softly whispered his hands holding both of my mines, softly caressing them with his thumb. "Please don't cry, por favor." He reached a hand to my face and gently wiped the tears. "I-I don't want you to leave me alone." My voice breaking and my vision filling with tears.
