He gritted his teeth, silent for a few moments as he stared into her eyes furiously.
"I'm done." He turned and stormed out the door.
"Please don't go!" She called after him, racing out into the rain. "Taylor, please!"
He turned, staring at her coldly. "I can't stay, Laurel, you know that. Not after what you've done."
"Taylor, please," she begged, sinking to her knees in the mud. "Why are you doing this?"
"You know very well why," he yelled over his shoulder as he walked away, leaving her sobbing in the rain.
Leaving.
Left.
Gone.

The Awakening
He opened the door ignoring her further protesting. He steps out on the porch and, as the night air blows, takes a deep breath. He stepped down and his mom followed him out. "Trevor." She hugged herself in the cold night. "Mom. I need to... I have to see her." He makes his way to the car. "She's gone, Trevor. She's not coming back."Complete
Waiting Until Dawn {Mike Monroe x Reader}
"Back to this hellhole, huh?" "I wouldn't call it a hellhole" He mutters. "Oh, but I would." I snap harshly. He almost flinches. "(Y/n), I'm sorry. It wasn't supposed to get out of hand like that..." I cut him off. "I know. But I can't believe you would ever think of doing that. It's cruel!" He looks away in shame. "I'm sorry." He says again. "It's not me you should have apologized to." I say, hot tears threatening to spill. I didn't know who to feel about him. I was so completely in love with him, maybe I still am, but they were my best friends. I just wish everything could have been different.Complete
My Patchwork Child
'Listen, Bean.' First time he's used that name. I thought it was sweet. 'You've struggled through way too much. You've done the unimaginable. You've survived something many wouldn't have. At such a young age. You've made it through something no one should ever endure. But, you did it! And now, I'm here. And I'm going to protect you like you were my own fucking sister, or even daughter!' He looks straight into my eyes, and it's a shock to see a tear fall down his soft cheek. He's crying for me... 'So, you don't need to be scared anymore. I'll catch you if you fall, Misty.' He tightens his grip around my hand, refusing to break the strong gaze between us. He smiles sadly, 'You don't have to struggle anymore, kid.' (Mature cause swearing and younger readers may find some scenes upsetting)Complete
Only One I Call Home
I had to admit, he was cute. His eyes sparkled nervously and his lips were a lovely shade of natural red.

The Lake House
"I don't have terrible problems, and I know my life isn't bad like other people's", I added. "But it's as if I'm half and half", I shrugged. "Half satisfied, half disappointed, half happy, half sad". "I know it's silly though", I corrected myself while sitting up and shaking my head. "I know I don't have the right to say I feel-". "You don't have to be miserable to have depression", Matthew cut in while looking into the horizon. "You don't have to be poor, or unloved, or even bullied to feel like you're losing all hope", he added. Looking right ahead, he placed his hand on the water and threw some ahead, creating a 'splash' sound that interrupted our quietness. "You don't need water to feel like you're drowning", he pointed while looking at me with an intense look, as if begging me to understand and take my words back. "Never apologize for your feelings", he continued while moving a bit closer to me. "They are there for a reason".Complete

Gone | Edited
The first in the Gone trilogy. ❝People change. Memories don't. ❞ I had that one person. That one person who would be my brightness in the dullest of days (trust me, there were a lot) just by gracing me with his presence. The frown that was permanently etched on my face would always seemingly dissipate into the happiness I felt when we'd meet up, running into his arms like he was my safe place. Everyone expected him to have someone, but no one thought it'd be me. No one wanted it to be me. Looking back on it now, it seemed like a typical love story. Him, the kind and gentle-hearted boy and I, the rude and cold-hearted girl. He wasn't kind, he wasn't gentle-hearted because if he was, then he wouldn't have left. Without a word. His lack of words towards me doesn't mean that I'm left speechless. In fact, I have a thousand words wanting to just slip off my tongue right this moment. Just because he's gone. [HIGHEST: #122 Short Story- 28/07/2015] Cover by my dear friend John. Editing finished in Feb 2016Complete
His Sunshine | ✓
She looks up at me, taking a step forward and smiling slightly, "How can I ever get hurt when I have you here to protect me?" "But you could have gotten hurt," I murmur softly, hanging my head and feeling my shoulders drop, the tension seeping from my body. "No. Stop," She cuts me off sternly but tenderly, "Don't talk like that, Reece. I'm okay, you're okay, we're okay," She speaks softly, reaching her hand up to gently brush her thumb over my cheek, just under the cut that's there. "We're okay," I repeat, taking a small step closer to her. She nods with a small smile, moving her hand down from my cheek and instead placing the palm of her hand on my chest, right over my heart. I know she can feel how fast my heart is beating. I just don't know why it's doing that. ~ Reece Carter is the bad boy of Northwood High. He smokes and he fights.
