Tattoos are normal. Everyone has them. Everyone is, in fact, born with two.
One, a sign of love. Platonic or romantic. A symbol shared with your soulmate. The other, a sign of hatred; of boiling blood and balled fists. A symbol shared with your enemy - shared with the person destined to cause you more pain than anyone else to walk the planet.
No one alive knows how to differentiate between the two until it's too late - until the pain has been caused by their enemy and they realise they could do nothing to prevent it.
Everyone looks down at their tattoos and sees a confused mess of questions. When Charlotte looks down to her tattoos, she sees no questions, she sees no confusion. They are the same tattoo. She knows that somehow the person she must love must cause her immeasurable pain

I would bet none of you have ever had that dream summer that all of us want.... that summer where you meet a boy on the beach and go surfing even though you don't know how to surf. That summer where you look him in the eyes while he runs his fingers through your hair. That summer where you skateboard along empty streets at sunset and accidentally steal candy from a grocery store. Well, I didn't get that, but I got pretty close to it. Because for the summer I went to an island in the middle of nowhere so my dad could start up a new one of his businesses in his chain of stores. I went to the beach. And I met Royce... Royce was two years older than me and had the prettiest purplish eyes and blonde hair. He was the most charismatic person I'd ever met. Then shortly after me and Royce's first appearance we met Jack and Koa. It was amazing and I loved every second of it, until I realized that I had fallen for Royce. And he seemed to fall for me too! Until another girl came into the mix 𖣔 "Do you hate me or not Royce?" "I wish I never fucking spoke to you because god I hate you so fucking much for making me love you! It's your fucking fault! Fuck you!" "And do you love her?!" "Way more than I will ever love you." #5 in unrequited 12-3-2020 #2 in tearjerker 3-14-2021 #8 in unrequitedlove 5-15-2021Complete
Cynical Souls
COMPLETED✅ Two high school teenagers finding themselves, analyzing this ever changing world, and building love. This is the type of love you wish you found in high school but probably know way too well that it only exists as fiction. Today I'm turning my fiction to reality. ❣️•••❣️ Excerpt: Just as I was about to seek shelter under some building's roof, the tires of a car come to a halt, I wonder who might pity the lonely girl walking in the rain. The passenger window rolls down, and I spot the most unexpected person seated behind the wheel. "Get in" comes out his voice, and I must've stood there agape for a few moments because next comes his rhetorical question. "Are you getting in or continuing walking in the rain?" Eyebrows raised expectantly. He sounds annoyed, like he regrets his decision to ever stop and help me. ❣️•••❣️ #5 in cynical #2 in loveandfriendship #1 in opinionated #4 in ihatelife #10 in nerdgirl #10 in HighschoolRomance #26 in GoodGirlBadBoy *contains mature themes. *contains cursing.Complete

"The Social Butterfly & The Silent Heart" (SkyNani ff)
"Sky was everything Nani wasn't-charming, loud, and adored by everyone. Nani had spent most of his university life alone, watching people come and go, never truly belonging. But when fate pulls him into Sky's world-a world of laughter, friendships, and chaotic energy-he finds himself experiencing something new: belonging. And then, something even scarier: love. He never meant to fall. He never meant to care this much. But when Sky starts dating someone else, Nani realizes the hardest thing about love isn't falling-it's staying silent when it's already too late." --- This is my first time writing a story, and English is not my first language, so I apologize in advance for any grammar or spelling mistakes.
