"Hey, Dakoda?" Marc stopped me. I turned back to him.
	"Yea?"
	"Promise me something." His words paused any thoughts of wanting to just heading home now so I didn't get into more trouble, causing my heart to skip. He wanted me to promise him something?
	"Depends." Marc's head tilted, his eyes were frowning again, something he seemed to do often. He didn't seem to like my response. Maybe he was hoping for an 'abso-friggen-lutely!' He wasn't going to get it from me.
	"Promise me, that the next time someone hurts you, you'll tell me." I felt my lips twist into a rueful scowl and I shook my head.
	"Well, that's something I can't promise." I whispered, taking a step down the driveway. Marc's eyes glinted in irritation.
	"Why not?" He growled. I took a deep breath, set down my skateboard back on the ground, and was poised to kick off.
	"I don't like to lie to people I don't want to hurt."

I got more and more annoyed as he drove up, parked and unmounted his bike. He pulled off his helmet and shook his head, noticing me there staring at him. We just stared at each other, neither moving, neither speaking. He started to make his way up his driveway, not even bothering with a greeting, so I called out to him. "Hey! Where've you been?" I tried not to sound accusatory or angry, and I succeeded. Though I sounded more hurt than anticipated. He stopped and walked towards me. He walked kind of slowly, like he was trying to avoid me. I stood on the steps, fighting the urge to walk towards him so we could talk. Never ever did I think I'd want to talk to him, yet here I was. Once in front of me he stayed at the bottom step, not climbing up further. He said nothing and I repeated my question once again, "Where have you been?" He shifted then just replied with "Out." "Out?" I repeated, getting refueled with annoyance. "That's it? You've been missing all day and all you have to say is you were out?" "Fuck, dude, what are you, my mom? I was out! Are you trying to keep tabs on me or something?" I was angry at him, and started to feel feelings towards him that I haven't felt in months. I stepped down two steps to look at him eye level, ready to argue with him. But, rather than open my mouth to fight, I found myself staring at his tired gaze and freezing for a moment. I didn't want to fight with him, and I saw he didn't want to fight with me-at least, that was my hope. I let my glare fall and closed the distance between us, wrapping my arms around him in the tightest hug I could muster. He seemed shocked, remaining rigid in my arms until I quietly muttered, "I was worried about you, jackass," into his neck. He just sighed before relaxing and hugging me back.

Two broken souls in the midst of a crazy world. Two souls running away from their past. There was no light at the end of the tunnel. The tunnel was cracking, slowly closing in. When these two connect, as if they were set on the same path, light creeps in through the cracks, and for or a moment, the tunnel seems to have a way out, but what if it collapses before they make it? - "You saved my life." The words come out as a whisper, I've been dying to say that. I thank god every day that he came into my life when he did. "Fuck Vivian, you don't know how much I needed you." I tear up just a little as he speaks, I don't know the last time I cried happy tears. I bring my hands up to cup his cheeks, resting my forehead against his. "No matter how much I push, I don't mean it. Please don't give up on me." My words seem to relieve him in some way as I feel his shoulders relax. "Even when I'm gone, I'll be by your side, forever." He brings his hand, sticking his pinky out. "pinky promise."I wrap mine around his, placing a kiss on his lips. Warning before you read!! This is my first book! This book will contain topics of SA, eating disorders, and mature content, if any of these things may bother you in anyway, please scroll! I hope when I finish this book I can public a clean version, with a different perspective leaving out these topics, but for now, this is how i've envisioned this story to go! Enjoy -Ash🌸
KILLING CARA (EN) by livamaar
5 parts Ongoing
When Cara found a wounder man in front of her door on a snowy night, her life, already fragile and beyond repair, shattered further. Amidst the depths of darkness, where engines roared defiantly and cars screamed into the night with fury, he stood there... Number 7 and his bitter eyes. In the darkness, a world cloaked in shadows, chaos, and perhaps a touch of light; this was the blind spot of the world, this was Layna. 🕷️ "Somethimes people choose to suffer, Cara." He said. "Why?" I asked. "Sometimes, people cling to their pain, unwilling to heal, as the pain inside is the last memory of a loved one." 𝓗𝓮 𝔀𝓪𝓼 𝓻𝓲𝓰𝓱𝓽. 𝓒𝓸𝓵𝓭 𝔀𝓪𝓽𝓮𝓻 𝓯𝓮𝓮𝓵𝓼 𝔀𝓪𝓻𝓶 𝔀𝓱𝓮𝓷 𝔂𝓸𝓾𝓻 𝓱𝓪𝓷𝓭𝓼 𝓪𝓻𝓮 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓮𝔃𝓲𝓷𝓰. 🕷️ I listened to the crows circling the empty streets of the city, resting my knees against my chin. It was as if the city were caught in the early hours of morning; a storm had cleared the streets and a mist, swallowing the asphalt, had settled in. Yet, evening was approaching, I knew. As I buried my head between my arms, I sought warmth. I was cold. No, I was burning. The tangled mass of emotions within me grew as it rolled downhill, and I could not discern what I felt. When I drew my arms tighter around my knees and pulled them closer to my torso, the puddle beneath my feet began to shift. I whispered into my lap, "Fool." "What did you expect?" You have no family. Did you think love could save you?

You'r My Weakness

24 parts Complete

"C'mon, lets get you home." He stood up and helped me up. We walked to my car, but before we were there I stopped. "Well at least tell me what makes you weak." He turned to look at me and for a second he looked as if he suspected something. "I mean, what hurts you most?" I walked towards him and pressed my lips against his. "You." he said on my lips. "You make me weak."
