Adrian Ender snarled at the space behind the cashier's head, not acknowledging the young woman as she scanned his soda and candy bar, not noticing how pretty she was or the sad glow coming from her grayish eyes, not thinking about anything but the fact that he was late. Late for the most important meeting of his life.
The woman finally finished and Adrian threw a five at her and tapped his foot as she counted out his 42 cents in pennies and dimes. He snatched up his lunch and didn't pause on his way toward the door to see the elderly ladies huddled around a hanging bucket, kindly asking for spare change.

"Are you old enough to be here?" The 18-year-old asked, and Hailey laughed. "Yeah. Of course, look can we just have two light beers?" Hailey asked looking at the desserts. "Well, I'm supposed to id, but I don't get paid enough for this." He rolls his eyes sliding the beers over. "Enjoy!" He groans cleaning off the counter and assisting the next customer. We walk over to a small booth and sit down. Hailey slides the beers over to me and I open one. I start to lift it and then set it back on the table. "Um... Hailey are we old enough for this?" she nods so I take a sip. It was disgusting but I felt like I should drink more so I drank the rest. Hailey had already gone to order more, and I stumbled towards her. A man grabbed me dragging me towards the back door and Hailey ran over trying to grab me. She screamed trying to get people to help but they were all distracted. The man stuck something in my arm and threw me in a van. He shut the door and Hailey ran inside to call the police. Someone covered my head with a bag, and I felt a sharp pain in my neck and then I blacked out. After that day, my life was changed forever... Click to find out more.Complete
you're beautiful here
something i'd love to publish one day. after some hefty editing tho aha. intercept: Felix found himself very invested in Alice's daily visits. He was spending extra time getting ready in the morning. He had only a few inches of light brown wavy hair on top of his head and very little on the sides, yet he was spending his mornings making sure it laid in the perfect spot and looked just messy enough to act like he didn't care. He was setting out his clothes at night so that his jeans wouldn't have wrinkles in them. He was brushing his teeth for double as long as he normally would. He even invested in some floss. When he would go downstairs to Mugz, he would make sure to put on the cleanest Mugz sweater he had. He started sweeping more. Especially around the time she would be in, if only to be out in the lobby with her instead of having to talk over the counter. Alice was the same as always. She was very good at not showing an effect that his words had on her if she didn't want to. Any time she would say something suggestive or bold, Felix would find himself blushing or stuttering, but on the rare occasion that Felix would try to be as bold, she would just grin and laugh. It took him a while to ensure that she was laughing with him and not at his lousy attempts at banter.Complete
you began to feel like home- reddie
"Please don't leave," he says to the boy in front of him, unable to see him properly due to the tears in his eyes, fogging up his glasses. His breath was shaky, waiting for an answer from him, his eyes threatening to spill. He sucked in the breath, trying to move up from the floor. "Why shouldn't i Rich?" Eddie asks, his face unreadable. Richie started into his eyes the best i could, the tears now popping out of his eyes. His face burning from the prickles against it. "Because Ed's, you began to feel like home."Complete
The Bench// a Joe and Dianne Story
A short story Joanne AU A little idea I had that grew into a short 16 chapter book. Read it if you wish! **preview** "Oh my god, sorry," Joe heard, just after a small, fast moving body collided with him on a busy street causing the coffee in his hand to wobble dangerously. He blinked and looked down, seeing a woman with short brown hair picking up something she had dropped- her phone- Joe realised. She picked it up and wiped it against her leg with a groan. "Don't worry," he held his hand out for her, "here." The petite woman took his hand and Joe's stomach flip-flopped churning the bagel he had inhaled on his way out of the door this morning; the woman's hand felt all too familiar. As she reached his eye level, Joe had to stop a gasp that was trying to escape his lips, "Dianne?" "Yes? How do you know my n-" she had just looked up at him from the phone in her hand and all words flew from her head at the sight of those piercing eyes. "I don't believe it." "Joe," she dropped his hand, "oh my, bloody hell." There was a moment or two of what could only be described as an awkwardly unpleasant silence, as they both took the person in front of them in, in all of their glory.Complete

Omnipotence
"Oh bite me, you sociopath." She seethed. "Do you honestly think you are all that and a bag of chips!?" She leaned on her left leg and placed her hand on her hip. In this dim lighting her dark eyes seem even darker, almost black. I cannot see much but her silhouette stands out, I do not understand why is it that I notice this. "Do you not think that you are being absurd?" As the words left my mouth I knew it was a mistake. I heard her huff and stand straight, she stepped closer. I can see her better now, low light highlighted her plump lips, her noticeable jaw and cheek bone. Her long lashes that drew the attention to her big brown eye.
