"Adam, it's 4 in the morning, why are you home so early?" I say wiping my eyes. "I got someone to cover for me at the last second. Do you realize how worried I was? Sarah said you had another one of your episodes, and I come home to this? How did this even happen? What caused you to...." I start to zone out as Adam continues interrogating me. I really do feel sorry for worrying him, but how could I just forget about what happened last night? All I can focus on is the clock standing in the background. Before I know it, the patterns on the clock start to morph into different shapes. Everything becomes fuzzy. I close my eyes to try and stop a headache that begins to form. I lay back into the couch and everything Adam is saying becomes even more muffled. I decided to go back to sleep.

The Ghost Story
(Warning: This story depicts subjects of violence, suicide, etc. If you aren't comfortable or are triggered by these subjects DON'T read this story! Thanks ^^) This story is based off a concept a friend of mine has, there's going to be a few fanmade characters for the story to spice it up a bit. All art are mine, I'll try to make an artwork for each chapter. I hope you guys enjoy it. Now for the story description thingy that isn't actually a full story description(?): "Be happy, Emerson. You've been looking so sad all week and we miss you being happy.". Emerson suddenly feels a bit frustrated, the sleep deprivation isn't helping, "Guys I'm seriously not sad, I'm just very tired. How come you guys are going to immediately assume my depression is getting worse? You guys always get me this all the time when you suspect it so don't play dumb.". Remington gives a dramatic sigh and Sebastian shakes his head a bit, both of them seem set on Emerson just being sad. Yes, he did give the impression he was but that's to hide the truth. "You lose sleep when your mood changes sometimes, ya know..", Sebastian states, in a very broad manner. Emerson looks down before glaring at them, "What the h-ll?! I'm not sad!". "Then what is it?", Remington asks in a rather frustrated tone. Emerson waves his hand upwards, "Don't worry about it right now, I'm not ready to talk about it.", He says. He then walks out and goes to his room, setting the box of chocolate on his nightstand. His gaze turns to his bed where Clockwork lays against his pillow.

Perfect Fate ✔ (Moved To Inkitt)
Wattpad Creator! Happy and proud. HIM: Staying the night? Not my thing. Hearts and flowers? Boring. Falling in love? Not anytime soon. Settling down? Off the table. Getting married? You're kidding me, right? That was me before the night we first met. Because, well, meeting a hot chick that made me hard just by looking at her was definitely not in my plans when I sneaked out of a woman's apartment after what was already a long night. Taking her home and getting her a chocolate cake, though, was kind of intentional. But falling for her? Boy, that was pretty much inevitable. HER: He came out of nowhere, literally. I was there, sitting on that bench, barefoot and crying and just getting my heart broken in peace and silence. Then he appeared, all mad and furious and sexy and tall and just drool-worthy! And just like that, despite my poor attempts of escaping him, he had me wrapped in his world. A crazy yet heart-fluttering world, that I have absolutely no intentions of leaving anytime soon. ------- Character development is a main theme in this book.

Now, instead of burning the place down, he's stuck arguing with a ghost who won't shut up. And the worst part? He might be starting to like it.
