It Wasn't Love ✔️
"Fuck." He whispers into my neck, sending a thrill of excitement through my body. His lips still smothered kisses over my neck and his hands roamed my body, starting at my chest, going down to my stomach. Caressing my soft skin, his thumb trailed circles on my groin before slightly slipping into the waistband of my jeans. My breath catches in my throat as I pull at the hoodie that covered his chiselled body. Understanding, Jacob pulls it off in one swift movement before attaching his lips back on my neck. Sucking and biting it before flicking his tongue over the sore spot. A quiet moan leaves my mouth and I clasp my hand over it, denying any noise to escape.

Mil SO (Military Significant Other)
My chest hurt as an empty feeling rushed over me. My breathing picked up as I clutched my chest. It was painful but yet, oh so familiar. Black dots swam in my vision as my heart beat wildly. I closed my eyes and tried to calm my breathing. Panic attacks weren't uncommon for me. I'd had them ever since the accident. I felt the tears roll down my cheeks as my face heated. It was getting harder to breath. It felt like the walls were closing in around me, and the oxygen was being sucked out of the room. "Iris! Calm down. You have to calm down," a voice sounded from a distance. It was too late; I was in full panic attack mode. My body shook as I sobbed in gasps. I felt hands on my arms but barely. I was too far-gone. The black dots increased as my breathing did. I'd done this too many times to know what was coming next. I hyperventilated until I passed out completely. ~ After a traumatic event that led to her family's death, Iris moves with her Aunt to California to try and start over. Iris Morgan grew up a military brat. With her dad in the Marines, she grew accustomed to that lifestyle, until she was ripped from it. Now she has to be the new girl all over again. Only this time, she has to keep her C-PTSD in check as well as survive a high school full of teen celebrites, cute boys, and around the clock drama. All Iris has to do is survive two years until graduation, but what comes after graduation may prove to be more difficult than high school itself.Complete
SOLACE (condensed version)
This is not a happy, feel-good story. This is a story of heartbreak, of a person being utterly destroyed. However, it is also a story of true friendship and loyalty, of finding oneself, of unwavering love. It is a story of keeping promises, no matter how much it kills you to keep them. (Not my cover photo) Condensed and more succinct version of previous story Bit of an 'origin story' to Hiraeth (WIP) which shows how much grief can interfere with living your life.

Emma: Seventh Grade
As Emma entered the school, she saw Josh approaching her. He had a distressed and upset look on his face. "Can I talk to you for a second?" he asked. "Sure?" Emma agreed. Her heart started beating faster as she wondered what was wrong. "I thought we agreed to keep out relationship secret," Josh stated. "We are," Emma told him. "I haven't told anyone..." "Then how come the whole school knows about us?" Josh demanded, his blue eyes narrowed. He was visibly angry but trying to keep his cool. "Are you serious?!" Emma cried, a shocked expression on her face. "I swear the only person who knew about us was Lizzie!" Then it hit Emma like a brick wall. Lizzie must have gone blabbering about her and Josh. Emma had clearly told Lizzie not to tell anyone, especially Kendra and her friends. "Lizzie...." Josh mused. "You're friends with that weirdo?" "Yeah...." Emma replied, ashamed. "I specifically told her not to tell anyone either! That bitch!" Anger started flaring up as Emma tried to sort it all out in her head. "That's why I told you to keep our relationship a secret!" Josh cried. "You can't trust anyone around here!" "I know, I messed up!" Emma sobbed, covering her face as tears rolled down her cheeks. "I'm so sorry Josh! This doesn't mean we have to break up, does it?" She gazed up at Josh with teary, sad blue eyes. "Unfortunately, yes," Josh stated regretfully. "Now that Kendra and her friends know, we can't see each other anymore. I'm sorry, Emma."Complete

Cacophony
Sydney didn't have much, but that was fine with her. She didn't need much. Growing up on the Washington coast in a lonely beach town, working quietly behind the scenes was what she was good at. Living on the beach was much less glamorous than most people imagine. Her home was a beat up old Winnebago that she had shared with her father until he passed. Her father had been a detached parent. He loved his daughter of course, but he was by no means an affectionate man. She had grown up fending for herself, working backstage at a bar that hosted live bands using a fake ID. After the death of her father she saw an ad for a guitar technician for a local Seattle band. A love of rock and roll had been the one thing that her and her dad had in common. Selling everything that she didn't need she packed up her pickup truck and travelled north to the city, leaving the sleepy town in her rear view mirror. She didn't expect to embark on what would become the adventure of a lifetime. For someone who had hardly left the town she grew up in, the opportunity to get paid to travel the country and listen to great music was a dream come true. The band became her family, and life on the road was a perfect fit for her. Chris Cornell instantly became Sydney's best friend in the whole world. They were in love, that was plain as day to anyone who paid attention. Yet, sometimes love isn't as simple as it should be. Sometimes, love hurts. Warning: This book covers potentially triggering subjects such as depression, suicidal ideation, domestic abuse, sexual assault, poverty and drug use. These are issues that many of us have faced and are very real. If you or a loved one is experiencing suicidal thoughts or abuse in a relationship, please reach out and find help.
