My parents died a slow and painful death after being shot. As a 14 year old girl watching your parents die can really leave a scar and a memory that haunts your life forever, but what haunts it more is the fact that the dream I had the night before warned me of the mass shooting. Instead of my parents lying there on the ground I had been in their place. That was the first time I cheated death, but at the time I didn't know. Now I wear this charm bracelet with two charms on it: one for the death of my father and one for the death of my mother. I wear a locket around my neck with their pictures in it knowing they are still with me just not physically. I then grew up learning how to live on my own afraid that I was going to die. Death had become my biggest fear along with the fear of people knowing they were the reason for my parents death.

Our Secret To Keep.
A delayed flight. A stranger at a hotel bar. A one night stand. Stranded in New York for an extra night than planned due to a delayed flight, I needed to find a way to keep myself occupied, and I soon found that something. It was easy enough when the handsome stranger introduced himself to me as Kade. It has been a while since I have had a hot one-night stand, and he reminds me how fun it can be. There are no questions, expectations or reasons to see one another again. What I don't expect is our night together to come around and bite me in the ass. When I arrive at a family dinner with my parents and two older sisters to celebrate my return home to Scotland, he is sitting right there with them. Not only is he my father's new business partner, but he is my sister's blind date set up by my parents. We pretend to be strangers because things would become complicated if we didn't. No one ever needs to know about what happened between us. My dad would freak out if he found out about us because he is overly protective of me as the youngest, and with the age gap between Kade and me, my father wouldn't approve. My relationship with my older sister is already strained; I don't need to make things worse between us. Even though he doesn't seem interested in her and he tries his best to show that it could still make all hell break lose. My sister hates losing. She always gets what she wants. I should stay away from him, but it is easier said than done with the tension and chemistry between us, and we struggle to fight against it. No matter what happens, it needs to be our secret to keep.
I Survived
It was like any other day, i was with my daughter, amelia. She was about to fall sleep. She was in so much peace. No worry in the world. Her green eyes were shining, from the light of the moon. They slowly closed, and she drifted off into her soft snoring. For a 3 year old, she sure knows how to mess with your heart. I felt so bad. Her father left. Well, my husband found somebody better i guess. We had her when i was 20, and he left when she was only 4 months old. What a life. During my deep thinkink, the tv stated making that fog horn type noise, waking me up from my trance. The news was on, with the alert reading across the screen. "TAKE COVER, STAY IN HOMES. LOCK DOORS, STAY AWAY FROM WINDOWS" i lay amelia in her bed, out of my lap. I lock the windows and the doors. When i came back, i missed whatever the alert was about...i should have waited. That mistake changed my life forever...Complete

White Top Hats
It started when the rain fell. As it hit the windows rhythmically, I fought my sleep. Fighting off the demons in my dreams. I hadn't realized how real that dream became.

The pain between my chest and stomach was growing guilt. So I started thinking smart. Looking at everyone differently. I decided to reopen their cold cases.

Just "Friends"
I felt Peter come up behind me and wrap his arms around my waist, then he slowly began trailing his lips down my neck, I was starting to become weak at the knees, then I snapped out of the trance it was putting me in just before before slipping out of his reach as quickly as possible. "Are you crazy!! I don't want your parents to walk in on us." I exclaim, feeling my cheeks start to blush. "Will you relax, they left two hours ago and won't be back until Friday, my dad's on a business trip." Peter says with a big smirk as he laces his fingers through mine "Oh, right." I say with a slight chuckle. With that Peter closed his door, and he pushed me onto the bed and began kissing me passionately, and the kisses trailed from my lips to my neck and before they could go any further, Peter stopped and looked at me with those beautiful brown eyes of his, and just smiled at me, as he ran the back of his hand along my face. "I love you Paisley." Peter says with a warm smile on his face. "I love you too." I say feeling nothing but pure joy as the words role off my tongue. And with that the moment was killed. We were after all only in high school, seniors for only 3 more days, but still only in high school, I sat up on the bed and Peter just sat there for a few moments. He looked at me for what seemed like a long time but was really only a few seconds, as he slowly went to get up off the bed, he planted a kiss on my forehead and with that my conscience had a choice. Either let the moment die or try to save it. I was going to try to save it. I grabbed Peter by his shirt and pulled him back on top of me as we fell onto the bed all over again and this time, there was not stopping, there was kissing and the whole 9 yards. Until I laid there in his bed, the sheets covering every last inch of me up out of embarrassment. Peter and I just laid there looking into each other's eyes. This kept replaying in my head during the cab ride home from the airport.
