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.

Silently Falling by Liz_Plum
52 parts Complete
Highest ranking: #1 in Teen Fiction -- "Sunshine, what guy do you know has a weird fetish with sign language?" She's the aftermath of a high school party nightmare. Tragedy robbed her of her innocence and stole her voice before she had the chance to speak out. The court called her a liar, and the guilty was set free. Now memories plague her mind and trap her in solitude. She was forced to learn sign language, struggling to find a way to voice her silence. He's the definition of the boy she tried to stay away from. The epitome of harsh rumors and hopeless fantasies. The source of lies and blame. He's analyzed, misunderstood, and utterly mysterious. And he may be the one to find her voice. When they meet, she gets accustomed to his arrogance and he gets accustomed to her silence. An essay is what brings them together, but what happens when he starts asking too many questions? Will her past continue to drag her down, or will he save her? Fate has a funny way of bringing people together, but it doesn't always work how it's supposed to. *different summary inside* "Perfect amount of tragedy, humor, and romance!" -Sparkles530 "I feel like I learned a lot from your story, thank you." - 980Sarah "This book is beautifully written. Thank you for sharing it on Wattpad." -AKRathan "I just want to say that Silently Falling was one of the best books I've ever read. It's so beautiful and heartwarming and the way you described the progress of their relationship was beautiful." -Rafyrofy "Perfect ending." -TaylorxTaterxTot COVER: Ensurel

(18+ EXPLICIT CONTENT) "Attract a lot of attention, huh beautiful?" His voice hit me like a wall, absurdly catching me off guard. It was deep, sensual, something any girl (or boy) could melt over. I was sort of speechless, yet trying my best to appear unafflicted. "Only the wrong ones." That was definitely drunken me talking, as I didn't usually have that much confidence. His lips twitched up into a smirk, expressing that he understood my comment. "Does that mean that I'm in that category?" My palms began to grow sweaty and my heart rate picked up, but otherwise my body remained relaxed, appearing completely fine. It similar to when you're on autopilot, completely withdrawn due to intoxication. "I suppose not," I crossed my arms, putting on this seductive persona just for him. This fueled his smirk, about to murmur another comment before I cut him off. "You'll have to show me, though." *** Amelia Hollis was a 23-year-old writer at one of the local publishing companies, assisting a very handsome man and writing articles left and right. Her and her best friend, Aviary, lived together in a cute little apartment off the central part of the city, yearning to create new memories and important moments. Amelia always lived for the moments, taking in every little detail and savoring it like it was her favorite meal. She was an optimist, hoping to change peoples lives with her dreams. James Vallette was a 34-year-old CEO, building his company from dirt with the help of his brother. He was a realist, not really having time to deal with dreams or even love. He knew this the night he laid eyes on Amelia. It was only casual; what harm could a one-night stand do? Oh yeah, he's her dad's boss.
Racer's Forbidden Angel by LilaRosa34
90 parts Complete Mature
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 Novel

"That was ages ago, how do you still remember that?" "Because when I walked into that room, I was mesmerized by the image of you. That was the most beautiful sight I have seen in my entire life. A moment so special it made all of my senses come to a standstill. I just couldn't look away. If I had snapped a photo of you back then, you probably would have thought I was an odd one, so I didn't. But god, I wish I had. I remember walking back into my room that evening and cursing my hands for not being able to draw. If I ever learn how to-which I will-that memory will be the first thing my pencil will mimic on paper." • 𖤝 • Daisy had her life back in order-or so she deluded herself into thinking-until one reckless mistake has her spiraling out of control again. Now she's stuck sharing an apartment with her brother's best friend for a year. Living with him would've been fine-if she hadn't sent him that damn nude. The one he left on read. Her plan to avoid him doesn't last long. She's sunshine and chaos, desperate for conversation. He's walls and silence, determined to keep her out. The harder she tries to break through, the more she realizes that beneath his cold exterior is the one person who might actually keep her grounded. But just when she starts to believe things are falling into place, her worst nightmare crashes back into her life-threatening to destroy everything all over again. • 𖤝 • Completed ✓

Hades

42 parts Complete Mature

~"You don't know me." I snap. "Sure, I don't. We've only spent more than half of our lives together. But I don't know you. Like at all, I don't." He says sarcastically, making me stand up from my chair and stand in front of him with crossed arms. He keeps seated on my bed, looking just as angry as myself. I study his face for a really short second and internally groan. Puberty did really hit him good. ~ · Why would Hades think that after two years of not seeing Emma and not answering her calls, she would still be the same? How could he expect her to still be that weak little girl that depended on him? No, Emma has changed into somebody he has yet to discover. Two years ago, these two had their biggest fight. Best friends should get over it and move on, right? But what if there was no way they could talk it out, due to an unpleasant misunderstanding? Two years of not hearing shit from each other. Two years of being separated...and that after a bad argument. Both too stubborn to talk about it. But wouldn't it be so easy to finally sit down and talk? Even after what they did at Julie's first party of the new school year? I mean, they could still act like it didn't happen, since they have both been drunk. Yet they remember and decide it would be best to just avoid each other. Well, they seem to do a really bad job.
