"You see, it's pretty simple." I took a drag. My feet were dangling from the edge, the water shining bellow.
"You fall in love, you fall out of it. The things that made the person beautiful, the flaws that made that person a person, are becoming ugly and unbearable. It's scary. The thought that one day, the love of my life, will look at me putting my feet on the dashboard and think how disgusting I am."

Sometimes what's good on the outside, is rotten on the inside.

Curly Headed Cutie
"I can't believe I came out here to get you!!!" I turn around and find Travis standing over me, droplets rolling down his face and neck. He's soaked in water and his jeans look heavy due to the rain. I giggle and shout over the rain, "You didn't have to come out here! I was just trying to prove a point!!" "And you did!!" He replies, rubbing his black hair back, his shirt sticking to him. I look him up and down noticing the outline of muscles in his shirt. I bite my lip and just stare. Goddamn!~ I need Jesus!!! "My eyes are up here!!" Travis says, cupping my chin and forcing me to look back up at him. I blush, as he lets go of my face, "I wasn't purposely trying to stare!!" Bitch, why you lyin'??? Just admit you were staring!! "Riiight~" He purrs, grinning devilishly, "If it makes you feel better, my eyes wandered off to other places too~" His eyes flash down to my shirt, and I look down noticing my shirt is kind of see-through; revealing my black sports bra underneath. Oh my- "TRAVIS REEL!!!" I shout, pushing him, my face probably as red as hot pepper. He chuckles, stumbling back a little, "You were staring at me first!!" I roll my eyes, "Not the point!" "It kind of is." I turn away, "No it's not..." ~~~~~~~~~~~~ #1 in Awkwardsituations (2.22.24) ALL RIGHTS OWNED!!! PLEASE DON'T COPY MY WORKKKKK!!! Previously known as "Nothing But Trouble".

What If I Was Nothing?
They loved hard, fought harder, and broke quietly. Ryan and Hannah were supposed to last - the kind of love that survives slammed doors, sleepless nights, and promises said in the dark. But love, as they learned, doesn't always fade in one clean motion. Sometimes it unravels, thread by thread, until you wake up beside someone you no longer recognize. After years of trying to fix what was already gone, Hannah walked away. Ryan stayed - until the silence between them became too heavy to bear. Years later, Ryan has rebuilt his world. A new home. A wife who makes him laugh. A baby boy who carries his smile. He's finally found peace in the wreckage. But when Hannah reappears one morning, holding all the words she never said, both are forced to face the truth: love doesn't die - it changes. And sometimes, the hardest part isn't losing each other. It's learning to live with what remains.Complete

Almost, Always 🍁🥀
"Almost, Always" 🍁🌹 Some people enter your life like whispers...soft, sudden, and gone before you can hold on. She didn't expect to see him again. Not after years, not like this. Not when she had finally learned how to forget the boy who never truly left her mind. But fate isn't loud..it's quiet, casual... cruel. In a classroom filled with noise, their glances screamed stories. A slow-burn connection, unsaid words, and almosts that could've been everything. This is not a fairytale. This is a memory rewritten..with the ending she deserved.
Sometimes life don't go the way we planned. Sometimes we end up feeling so low, and alone. Like we're in a dark hole with no one around us, but then suddenly there's a light at the end of the tunnel. And I guess what I'm trying to say is.. You're my light, the one who helped me through the worst time in my life - And for that, I am thankful. I'm thankful that I met you, but I also hate you.
