"Why do you refuse to love me!?" Parker asks, his eyes red from crying. The noise of rain hitting my run down window and the fog outside setting the mood. I've told him over and over again that I don't love. Some people don't like eating, some people don't like seeing people sad, I just simply don't like loving.
I sigh and run my hands through my short cut hair, my rings tugging slightly on my hair, making my head hurt. I can feel tears threatening to fall out of my eyes, my eyes holding a vulnerable look that I hate. I look Parker in the eyes, "Like I said, love is an illusion."
When Allison Baker was young, she was taught that love was just an illusion, a one time euphoria that just passes away after a bit. As she grew up and the others around her started to fall in love, she decided to give love a try, not wanting to end up like her mother who moped around because the father Allison has never met left. Allison did fall in love, but she's not in love anymore, she felt the euphoria, and that one time sweetness cost a piece of her.
So now, to Allison, love is nothing. Until she meets a boy, who wants to teach her that love is everything.

The cut that always bleeds
I was what they called a perfectionist. I had everything planned out and wanted a simple straightforward life. Things at home were hectic, disturbed, painful and heart-breaking. I decided that I wanted to stay away from all people that could possibly hurt me. For example, friends, extended family, judgemental neighbours and worst of all, the one I dreaded the most... love. But of course, as any normal story goes, I was unable to steer clear of love. I was unable to steer clear from him. I let myself drown in merciless water, drown so deep, the surface was out of the question. I let myself escape and wonder in his inequitable love, so blinded, so foolish. I thought I could no longer drown. But that day. That one day. That day ensured my belief. That I would forever drown alone.Complete
Someone Somewhere Is Made For You
How does it feel not being able to confess your love to your crush? Ella has always been in love with her senior from the moment she laid her eyes on him. Now that it is his final semester at the college, she has no way but to gather her courage to confess her love. But it is easier said than done as her crush just happened to be a serious, strict and no-nonsense type of guy who sees her as nothing more than a rich spoilt brat. Welcome to Ella's eventful and dramatic life that surrounds her long-overdue love confession. ~~~~~~~~ [Blurb] "Did I hear it right?" Sam turned to me, "you are interested in Michael?" He asked me unbelievably. "Yes, is that a problem?" I raised my chin. Sam chuckled. "Of all the things, you selected the project to confess your feelings? You do realise that you are the bottom-ranked student and he is the top-ranked in his batch and a university gold medalist?" "I have no other way to approach him. Michael is not interested in anything else and we don't have much time left," "How can you be so sure that it's Michael?" "Because I believe in destiny," I said. "You know, 'Someone somewhere is made for you, I think that person is Senior Michael for me and I am in love with him." "What!? You love him?" Sam stopped on his track. "Yeah." "You sure are weird," he muttered. "Anyway, I am really looking forward to seeing you prove it." "What about the project?" I looked at him hopefully. "Since I am the...um...last-ranked student in the class, he won't select me." "I will think of a way," he promised. "Thank you, Sam!" I said excitedly. "I will never forget this help." "I am so looking forward to seeing Michael falling head over heels for you," Sam winked before walking away. (The pictures/ cartoons/ anime images are taken from google.

Love Comes Unexpected ✔
I quickly turned away from him, to get the hell out of the room. But he caught my arm and pulled me back into his chest. Shit. Fuck. He buried his face in my hair, arms enclosing around me and whispered into my ear, ❝I thought things between us were getting better, is this how your gonna lie and ruin it?❞ I could feel him smiling against my ears, his fingers gently raking through my hair. I didn't reply. This is exactly the situation I didn't wanna get into, cause I know I melt when he says shit like that. ❝You gonna give up resisting me now?❞ His lips barely touching my ears. My heart skipped a beat as he tightened his hold on me. ♡♥♡♥♡♥♡ SAMANTHA ROSS Beautiful. Smart. Successful. Kind. Stubborn. That's who she was. But life challenges everyone at some point, right?

A Love Story
This is a love story for in truth it is our story, yours and mine. Two young people met and grew up together. They became acquainted quite by accident on the phone for a business purpose. After weeks of talking, they became very comfortable with one another's personalities and enjoyed the same sense of humor. She then asked him to come to her business for a cup of coffee. Something extraordinary happened, when they looked at one another both were silent and somewhat stunned. An electricity, but not quite, shot between them. This was an energy that neither of them had ever experienced and there were no words to adequately describe what they astonishingly felt. Tears came to their eyes and no words were yet spoken. They simply smiled and were somewhat stunned in the beauty of the moment. Instantly they understood that they'd known one another for a very long time and were simply re-uniting. When she spoke first, he heard what was somewhat like music in the melody of her voice. They were instant lovers. She was, by far, the most beautiful woman he'd ever had the honor to gaze upon. This wasn't simply a physical attraction but much much deeper. In his eyes, she seemed to be surrounded by a type of light. She's radiant. Their remembered love was coming to the surface and would continue to grow for the next twenty years. They were the deepest of friends and understood completely nothing would ever come between them again. They were happy. Bob

Before Euphoria, There was Dawn
Previously known as 'My next-door neighbour.' Euphoria is a state of well being or excitement. Dawn is the brink of daylight. In life, before we have achieved our satisfaction, happiness, and overcome our pain, we must go through our darkest times. We must hover in the middle before we can finally settle. Tess and Josh are the perfect examples of the not so basic life of teens who have to overcome their dawn before reaching euphoria. ~^~^~^~^~^~ "Hey, you," he whispered. "Hey to you too, raccoon boy," I whispered back. "Is this nickname going to become a thing?" "You bet it is. You call me Sunshine, so I'll call you raccoon boy." He shook his head and I laughed. "What am I going to do with you?" I placed my paintbrush down and stared into his intense green eyes. "You're going to get me a burger because I'm starving." He gave me the 'Are you serious look,' and I giggled. I shooed him away with my hands, and he sighed. "I'll go get the burger," he mumbled. ~^~^~^~^~^~ All rights reserved.
