Have you ever met Prince Charming? A guy that absolutely positively swept you off your feet but instead of falling in his arms you fall face first on concrete. I think about this as I walk home from a long day at Marte's cafe. I didn't know it at at the time but this Prince Charming will later save my life.

As A Cliché: A Short Story
Once upon a time I thought I was on top of the world. I thought I had complete control of my life. Well I'm not. I'll be the first one to tell you that I'm one of the most damaged people I know, and I know myself pretty well. I know how dark the world can get. I know that sometimes once you take away a girls smile and her cup of Starbucks, if you care enough to move the beanie out of her eyes you may actually see how she really feels. Of course not if she's like me. I've learned to hide my emotions, pretend everything's all right. I thought that no one could bring me out of my wonderfully miserable world. Then Jax came back.Complete
Hello Monday
Monday came unexpectedly. Unlike the weekday no one ever looks forward to, this Monday was a little different. He was a breath of fresh air in my suffocating world, a touch of sunshine in my shadow self. One whiff of his gentleness left me wanting more. Hello, Monday. (。・・)ノ Enter LINETTE MARTEL. A girl with a teacher for a best friend. She feels like she doesn't belong in her school for literal geniuses. Enter MONDAY *full name unknown*. A boy with a man-bun and a strange personality. He goes to said school for geniuses to raid it. Enter DRAMA. "Why have you come," then I spit back, "Sunday." Low blow, I know. With my eyes still closed, I hear him laugh softly, "I told you. We want her." "Why? Why her?" "I don't find the need to tell you that, princess." "Stop calling me that," I growl. "Why? Isn't that who you are?" I keep quiet. I don't know if that's a compliment or an insult. But coming from him, it's most likely an insult. "A spoiled, selfish brat who has a brain but not a heart," he finishes. Ah, there it is. I might just curse at him.Complete
Chasing Charming ✔️
Complete! "You know I really like you, right?" He was definitely drunk. "You do?" I asked. My voice was supposed to be teasing, but I think it came off as a bit startled. He laughed, "Yeah, why else would I trust you with all my secrets?" -- Betty was many things; a romantic, a fashion designer, a bit more jealous than the average girl, great with a camera, a helpful daughter and a good friend. But she was best known for being nice. And usually, the boy did not want the 'nice' girl. But this summer she was going to prove to Mike, her crush since FOREVER, that nice was enough. She was going to have an amazing summer, a perfect Junior year, and finally have her first kiss. It was a foolproof plan. Moving from her childhood home in Arizona to New Mexico at the start of Junior year was never a part of Betty's plan. But sometimes when parents are involved, plans change. So now the nice girl had to start over at a new school in a new State. And when the (maybe not so bad) bad boy, Eli, gets involved, it might be hard to be known as 'the nice girl'.Complete
It Was Always You
"I'm sorry that I put you in this situation." "I'm not following." I really wasn't. "This. Us! What we did last night was reckless and so so perfect at the same time." He got up and walked over to me. "All I could think about was the look on your face. I couldn't sleep because I was thinking about the feel of your skin against mine." He came closer and now he was a breath away. "What are you saying?" I whispered. "I don't know." "I thought you didn't do girlfriends." "I don't." And just like that our lips met and the fire ignited within me again. _________________ You must think this is your typical love story with it's sickly sweet characters who slowly fall in love.

The Honest Liar
He just stood there. Looking at me. The way I had reacted had put him in a state of shock. "I... I um," Every word I had learned from pre-school to now had just flew out of my mind and left me speechless. "I should go." I could tell he could barely hear the hurtful words I had just chocked out of my mouth, but I didn't care. Not anymore. I walked away. Fighting back tears. I drove all the way to my house and when I got there I fell against the cold wall. What had just happened? All I knew is that I wasn't able to think straight. My mind was clouded with memories of him. I shook my head trying to forget everything that was involved with him. But I wasn't able to forget. These thoughts were a part of me now. He was a part of me.Complete![Hopelessly Falling [book 2]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/217874760-256-k348673.jpg)
Hopelessly Falling [book 2]
"Do you ever get scared of being happy?" He asked softly, also pretty tired. I kept my eyes closed as I answered, my fingers softly drawing circles on his chest. "All the time. I used to a lot more, but, the downfalls seem a lot less daunting now that I have someone to free-fall with," I replied, and I looked up to see him smile a little at that, "We're just dancing in the rain these days.. there's no need to be afraid of the inevitable clouds that are gonna pop up." • • • College.

Haven's Knight (Sample of Published Book)
When I was a little girl, I believed in fairy tales. I believed in princes and princesses and knights in shining armor. I believed in forever and happily ever afters. I was ten when reality hit me. My mom brought the evil home with her and there was no escaping it. That's when I learned that fairy tales were just that: fairy tales. The bad stuff is real, though. The difference is that I now know that the monsters and evil villains don't always wear capes and ugly scars. No: most of the time, they appear normal. I'm drowning in reality, in my life, and I've given up hope that a knight in shining armor will rescue me. But maybe... maybe I don't need a Prince Charming after all. Maybe a knight without the shining armor and a broken smile will be enough to save me. *Please note this is only a five chapter sample of the published book.Complete
