Behind the Innocent Smile
Emma Chase. She may seem as a normal high school girl with a fiery spirit. Always smiling and laughing to jokes told by her friends. But was it real? Was the smile real and not fake, the laughs true and not forced. We don't know. Nobody does. Emma is so used to hiding her emotions and putting on a facade that in her old school everyone thought her facade was the real her. She had to live up to the standards her facade made and live in the lie that was "Chase". Back then she was reckless, daring and wild to the point where it got out of hand. She had built herself a reputation that didn't fit her. Everyone has secrets. Whether or not you tell anyone them is your choice, but not for Emma. She has too many to count and too many that she drowns in them, but she stays afloat because she knows the burden that they are and she's built herself to carry it all. She's learned to ignore the scars and demons and hide her secrets. Now she gets a restart at life. In a new city where no one knows or heard of her or rather "Chase". With these new faces will she hide behind this facade of her's or allow herself to be her. Will she have come this far only to have this chance ripped from right under her feet because of her old habits? Will Emma find her way back and defeat her demons? With lots of alcohol and a few bruises, here and there, along the way; Will she learn to let her walls fall and face what lies behind them? Will history repeat itself?

Stolen Pages
~Her words were my poison. I used them to consume myself. Disturbingly honest. Painfully strained. Carefully penned down. Dangerously addictive.~ A journal that landed in the right hands and told a whole story with words, no lips could speak. Two people bound by the pages of a book that tore their souls apart. He found it lying around and wondered what could go wrong. He didn't recognise the handwriting but he knew he instantly fell in love with it. Then it began. The assault of words on his life. He couldn't believe a word she wrote but somehow he did. He knew more about her than anyone else but he knew so little about who she was... It was maddening. How someone could have such an impact on you without having a single conversation with you. Her precious words tortured his existence, they drowned him in misery, created a black hole of words around him, gave him everything he needed to live. Made him fall in love. Gave him a world of his own. Made him believe in rainbows, unicorns, coffee, the basis of happiness, the meaning of every sunrise, the mystery of every deep ocean, she made him human. He knew he had to find her. He had to find out who she was. He had given him all the clues he needed but none of them were enough to prepare him for who she was. But sometimes... The journey is more important than the destination. Sometimes, the journey is the destination. A book full of stolen pages and a boy full of curiosity. This was how he let her shape his story. __________________ Description inside. Italics = Journal entry. 500 word chapters.
