emeralds pov
I sat still on my bed thinking. I never go deep in my thinking. only when painting. But tonight a certain green eyed boy seemed to have caught my attention. He doesn't speak much but I know what he thinks. He shows different faces every time, but what gets me is the best feature of all. One that illuminates the room he walks into. His smile. that alone makes me know I'm truly in love.
Nathaniel's pov
she sat at her easel. seeming so focused on her drawing. curiosity got the best of me and I stood to see the painting. she drew a rose. The look of it seemed to shine just like her eyes. But was struck me was the colour of the rose. a bright emerald colour. When I asked why pointed to the rose, and I knew what she meant . she painted herself in the form a rose. delicate and beautiful, yet had all.different thorns sticking out. it was then I realized how and why I fell for her. she needed no words.To be said for her to get her message across. and that was one reason I was completely and utterly in love with her.
Give this book a chance. you won't regret it. it teaches some thing I want every one to learn.

Loves Me Not
"I may not remember much, but I do know that I had the best time with you last night." Charlie drops his hand from his mouth and lifts his head to stare into my eyes, pushing his hair back from his face at the same time. "And I know this is awkward now, because I'm pretty sure we were both naked together in bed last night..." I choke on air, trying to dispel the imaginary object from my throat. Charlie reaches out and lightly grasps my hand; my eyes slide from our interlocked fingers to his shining pupils. "...but I still wouldn't change a single thing about it. So, I really do look forward to hearing from you later, Kaiydeen." It's like I've been taken hostage by his electric stare. I don't want to look away. I never want to look away. The busy noises of the street and the honking of the traffic fade as I lose focus, nothing strong enough to force my attention away from this boy. Finally, Archer loudly clears his throat as he flings his door open and plops into the car with a huff, breaking the trance between the two of us. I look away as I withdraw my hand from his grasp, trying to figure out what the hell just happened. This is going to be a long 6 months. ●●● Kaiydeen has always known what she wanted, more like who, but she never knew exactly how to get it. So she's complacent with biding her time until it, actually he, comes to her; no matter how long that takes. But then one day she crashes into someone she doesn't expect. Someone that has always had an eye for her, and he isn't satisfied with biding his time until she's his. But when the one person she's always wanted admits he wants her, too, she's forced to make a choice. Should she go for the boy she just met or the boy she's always known? There is some use of mature language in this story, so if your eyes are innocent and you want them to stay that way this might not be the story for you.

The Girl with no Emotions (GirlxGirl)
I was only 7 when I met her, but we had an instant connection. We were inseperable. She was always happy and joyful around me, but me on the other hand, I was a completely different story. I suffered a disorder that caused me to have no emotions. I told her my condition and she understood, but one day she dissapeared, I didn't feel sad, worried or angry like I should have. I just continued my day like any other day, but by myself. I continued to have no friends as I got older and talked to no one, but it didn't bother me. I soon became the "weirdo" as most people would say. I became known as the girl with no emotions.Complete
UNTAMED
I pushed him after that, greatly embarrassed by my actions and his confession. "You're such a manwhore, Aidan. I really hate you and don't you ever show your ugly face to me ever again." "Says the ugliest girl I've ever seen on this planet, lol. I don't want to see your ugly face again either. You disgust me with your holier than thou attitude. I guess I'll be finally free, without having you to follow me everywhere I go like a dog follows a bone." He yelled with a hard glare on his face and I couldn't help but break down in hysterical tears. I couldn't believe the boy standing before me was the same boy I grew up with. That same boy who would do anything just to make me happy? Like a dog follows a bone? Is that his perspective of me, that I follow him everywhere like a dog? I couldn't control myself as more tears poured out my eyes. "Thank you very much, Aidan. Thank you for your honesty, I appreciate that." I said slowly in hiccups and run away from him. "I wish you a happy sex with Sheldon and the rest of the school population, Emerald. You're free to be a hoe now." He said before I could get out of earshot and that made me cry more. I run upstairs to the comfort of my room and cried bitterly. The words kept ringing in my ear, "ugly, dog, hoe, sex, bone." Everything felt like a dream but it was a reality and I promise to hate Aidan for the rest of my life. _______________________________________________ Emerald Blue Woode seemed to have it all-a loving father, an ideal best friend, a sprawling mansion, and wealth beyond measure. But, an unsettling change was brewing in the air. Aidan, her steadfast best friend of over a decade, was no longer content with their platonic bond. A sinister determination had taken root within him, and he was willing to do whatever it took to transform their relationship into something more. What secrets lurked beneath this facade of perfection, and how far would Aidan go to claim what he desired most? Mature Content✔

I yelled as he got out of the car. "No! Our ending is nothing like those movies Vana. Our story is the both of us risking it all and then ending up right next to Kyle." He said and sighed. And he was right. Our ending is that one fucked up movie that no on wants to go see. "SO YOU AREN'T WILLING TO RISK IT ALL!?! I yelled louder as the rain came pouring down. He turned on his heal and stomped twords me pulling me close to him leaveing no space between us. His lips came crashing down on mine making the butterflies in my stomach errupt with pleaseure. He pulled away and sighed as did I. He grabbed my hand and ran his thumb over the knuckle of my thumb over my tattoo thanks to his stupid game of dare or dare. "Look at the perspective of things Vana. You might see a smily face but I don't. I see a sad face. You don't want my happy ending. Trust me." He said and sighed again. "I love you so much Vana."

Viciously in Love
Check out my Instagram page: gold_n_dark for aesthetics and songs for the chapters. One in a million. The chances of them meeting were one in a million. And yet... They met. And more came. Neither of them met love until now. Each one had different reasons. One was too stubborn, arrogant, heartless and careless to want love; the other one was too kind, happy, hopefull, optimist and dreamy to see the love around her. Maybe that's why they attracted each other. Because they completed each other. The good - her - and the bad - him. But not quite... She could also be strubborn, grumpy, proud, impulsive; and he... he would be wearing a mask. A mask which made him seem harsh and impassive. But once he would take the mask off, it would relieve the wounds, the pain, the worries, the hope and above all, the love. They have many things in common and at the same time they are completely different. They could've not met, and yet they did. They could've not fallen in love, and yet they did. They could've forget and move on, and yet, they couldn't. In Nicole and Jake's story, at the beginning everything is about hate and how they can't stand each other, about how they would give anything to not be near each other. But everything ends with love and about love. Their love. And how it consumes them and it drives them insane. But they love that. This is their story. Nicole and Jake's story. It's about love: being in love and loving someone; about being broken and hurt and hurting the people around you; about growing up and becoming an adult. It's about being human.Complete
