"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

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.
