[COMPLETED] "We both agreed, Apollo! We said no feelings, no attachments! You promised you wouldn't get attached." I look down at my lap in worry and shame. I have no idea what to say, I promised her, but like an idiot I broke that promise. "Say something!" My breath hitches and I look up at my beautiful girl through my lashes, my eyes brimming with tears because I know after tonight we won't be seeing each other again. I stand up from the edge of the bed and walk over to her, watching as her chest moves up and down harshly with each breath. My eyes trail over the love marks I left moments ago when we were happy to only get lost in each other's arms temporarily. She's mad at me. I never wanted her to be mad at me. "I'm sorry, baby," I whisper reaching forward to run my finger along her cheek catching the falling tear that flows down her soft skin. "You promised." She whispers. I know.

Repentance: Mending His Cruel Ways
!! Repairs done !! [TW: smut and mentions of sexual and physical harassment. Reader discretion is advised.] "Touch me again and I swear to god I won't hesistate to break your hand," Penelope threatened before walking away from the guy who was laying on the ground. Bypassers whispered, some just contented in staring at him as he slowly sat up. He sat on the side walk, still under the shock. He knew he deserved what came to him. What exactly did he think would happen? That she'd smile to him as if nothing happened? Act as if he never hurt her or even traumatised her? Then why was he adamant on trying to establish any connection with her? Editor: @Sheldon636138
Behind the Letters
It was supposed to be anonymous. Just some harmless, late-night messeges on a forum. No names. No photos. No real-life complications. She was GoldTrap-mysterious, sharp, and way too good with words. I was BlueInk-awkward, sarcastic, and definitely not looking for anything. But then she made me laugh. Then she made me think. Then... she made me feel things I really shouldn't be feeling for someone I've never met. I'm Quinn. Twenty-four. Screenwriter-in-training. Emotionally a little chaotic and basically there no reason an amazing woman like her would be falling for someone like me. I've played a lot of roles in my life. But never this one. ----------------------------------------------- Late at night, I started writing letters to a stranger on a private forum-just to feel something real. She calls herself BlueInk. She's young, clever, infuriatingly honest... and somehow, she sees right through me. She doesn't know I'm Juliette Delaney-Hollywood's favorite ice queen with a face on every magazine and a life that doesn't belong to me anymore. She doesn't know that when I type, my hands shake. That when I read her replies, I smile. That I'm craving her words more than I've ever craved the spotlight. And I don't know what will happen if she finds out who I am. Because if I tell her the truth, I might lose the one person who loves me for who I really am. Not the icon. Not the actress. Just... me. But if I don't? I'll never get to feel her say my name out loud.Complete

He didn't seem to enjoy my presence, but then again that wouldn't be true given that he requested for me to host, on my day off. His eyes were not friendly, his jaw and lips that never smiled told me to always be on guard. I could always feel his eyes on me, and I know its him, or else my heart wouldn't be acting the way it was. ...

I lay back down and he snuggles into my sheets facing me. "Why are you here?" I whisper. "It hurt me to see you cry." I just stare at him confused. He has his eyes closed and I just stare at him. "Emma is a bitch." I let out a small giggle. "Then why do you hang out with her?" "Good fuck." I just nod. I don't really like hearing him say that. Do I like Aaron? I mean he's attractive but I know he would never give me a second look. Who would? "Your so beautiful." I hear him whisper, I instantly open my eyes thinking I imagined him saying that. "Who?" I ask.
