It’s that moment where everything just stops mostly because I was too high to control my mouth of course, and the guy in the bunny suit stops trying to hit on me because I brought up the fact that his cousin died in the spot that those two people on the couch are playing “tongue war” on.
I guess that’s where it started, because no one brings up the dead. Like it’s some kind of disease you can catch or that it’s some kind of taboo subject all together. Adele was wrong, sometimes it lasts in love, and most times it hurts instead. But through my measly little research it’s the exact opposite. Sure when it’s fresh it hurts to talk, but when its old news, no one talks and it feels like everyone wants to forget about it but, that’s when you remember the most. That is when you need to remember the most.

Racer's Forbidden Angel
It's been a while since the Angels managed to save Nix and Riv and dealt with the aftermath of what happened. All moving on with their lives as much as possible. All but Ari, where she remains mentally trapped, grieving for her lost twin, blaming herself for his death and avoiding all the normal obstacles of college along the way. Including feelings for the one person she can never have. Her brother's best friend, who's been off limits since she can remember, but who she has loved ever since she was young, no matter how disastrous it ended. No matter that he broke her heart. He's the one she wants, but she thinks she can never have. Until he kisses her one night, years later, and she remembers just why she fell for him. Leaving her with a problem... To take the risk and fall again or walk away from love forever. Michael: I know I shouldn't. I shouldn't go after my best friend's little sister; he warned us all away when she was a kid. At the time, the warning stuck. None of us even thought about her like that, me included. But it got harder when she got older and we spent more time together. Especially when I figured out it went both ways. I'd tried to write it off as a one-sided...lust, but that hope was crushed when she came back to town after being away for college for a few years, grieving and guilty about her twin's death a few years back. When she kissed me one night and then seemed to keep watching me, I knew I was done for. I knew I shouldn't go after her, that I should stick to my friend's warning and stay away, but sometimes it's best when it's not allowed, and she's not only the most forbidden but the sweetest as well. One kiss and we were both hooked. All bets were off. We were screwed. The heart wants what it wants, and when it's forbidden? When it's forbidden, it tastes all the sweeter and can sometimes be almost impossible to resist. A Trial of Spades and Angels NovelComplete
Carlo
Book one of Carlo Life is a beautiful lie that everyone chooses to live and believe, and death is that evil truth that people refuse to accept. Death is the only truth in this world, and people live their lives, believing and relying on the concept of life. So much so, that they completely forget the raw truth of death: it comes to everyone. **** Trigger warnings. - Mentions of Rape - Self Harm - Abuse mentally and physically - Eating Disorder - Swearing - Fighting **** Some of the different languages might be rubbish because I got most of them off google.

Ashes Of You And I (Completed) | ✔️
"Her troubled eyes held fire. The kind of fire that was capable of burning me to ash." ***** I grabbed her chin with my free hand, making her look at me. "I hate that I don't know you. I hate not being a part of your life, like I was before." I leaned a little closer, as her intoxicating scent filled my lungs. "Trust me, I can't hate you, no matter how hard I tried." "So you have... " It came out as more of a question than a statement from her as she looked at me with her big blue eyes. "What?" I frowned, dropping my hand from her chin and grabbing her hand, instead. "You have tried hating me then?" She asked, tilting her head to the side. This time it sounded more like a statement than a question. "I have." I sighed, dropping my head in shame. "And it made me lose the most important person in my life." ***** One night. What harm can one night do? It can change lives. Turn best friends into enemies. Turn someone's life upside down.

Save Me
I feel his dirty hands touch me once more and move up higher to my thighs. I try to jerk them away but he locks my arms in his hand above my head as a thousand hot tears leave my eyes.

Suddenly, I hear a groan of pain and I get free of his disgusting hands. I don't feel him on me but I don't dare to open my eyes. Another moan is heard again and a punch. I open my eyes and see him kneeling and bleeding. I watch at the boy who saved me and he hits him hard as more blood floods from his lips and nose. It's so dark and my tears don't allow me to see my angel. My savior moves as his fist connects with his face and my angel's hair glow under the moonlight and I stop breathing. Corbyn? The boy falls to the ground unconscious as Corbyn hits him in the jaw for the tenth time. His eyes move to my glossy ones and without any thought, he comes to me and wraps his arms around my body tightly.

He doesn't say a word, he just pulls me closer to him and leaves me to surrender to this cathartic cry that overwhelms me. My brain stops working and the only word that exists is 'save'. I open my mouth and after so many weeks, the first words that slip my lips between cries and sobs are "You...you saved me" ----- Amelia is a young girl with a simple life and plans for her bright future.
