"Will you hold me please. I just want to be held,"She asks me. 

"Of course I will,"I replied to her as I climb carefully into the bed next to her. Careful to not bump against any of her injuries and not hurt her
 "You will get through this. You are a strong young girl. I know it's going to be hard without your parents,but I promise you things will get easier." Mavis lays against me  as I stroke her  hair, wiping away the tear  droplets rolling down her face. I'm so grateful she is safe now and I make a promise to her that I will never let anyone hurt her again. "I promise you that I won't ever let anyone hurt you like that again. Your safe with me." 
Okay Aunt Megan. I'm so glad you're here. I missed you so much. "

" I missed you so much too sweetie,"I tell her as tears fill my own eyes. I pull her close to me  feeling the need to protect her. Her long blonde wavy hair cascades against my shoulders. Her face is  wet with tears as I continue to stroke her hair and whisper soothingly, "Everything will be okay. Your safe with me. Aunt Megan is here."All Rights Reserved

My Soldier (*Completed*) by QuackingDuck

"Do you have to leave?" I say through tears. "I promise I'll be home before you know it." That's a lie. It'll feel longer than what it actually is. And it will all feel like hell. "I'll be lost and...and...alone without you, Matt" I sob even harder. "Don't say that. You'll have Aunt Kathy and Jo. Trust me when I say this: they know exactly what they're doing. They've been through plenty of these before." I nod, not trusting my voice, afraid I'll break down again. His hand comes to my cheek as he wipes a tear that's falling. His arms then indulge me in a huge hug, his familiar cologne invading my nostrils. "STARKS! We're boarding!" I flinch at the fact that its time to let him go. He kisses the top of my head, "I love you." He whispers in my ear. "I love you too." I respond weakly. "I love you most." And with a final, hard kiss, he walks away from me. Kathy holds me and lets me cry on her shoulder as Matt looks back at me, and walks into the plane. ~~~ **This is an original story by @QuackingDuck.

Egyptian Vanity by WormyPeach

Fresh out of high school and ready to start college, her family takes a trip before sending Ella half way across the country. Ella was aware of their tactics, though. **** ~"Oh, honey. This trip is just what you need before you start college. Cairo is beautiful, baby. You're going to love it." My mother said in attempt to make me excited about our "vacation" but I knew this trick. "I can only imagine," I comment and force a fake smile before turning and looking out of the window. She didn't plan to do anything but escape with dad to work on business. **** Realizing that her parents had left her to fend of herself in Egypt, Ella decided to make the most of her summer vacation and get a job to save up money for college. She finds an opening as a maid for some big hot shot she's never heard of. She even decided to take up the offer of moving in while she worked out of spite for her parents leaving her. Little did she know that her boss was an sexy arrogant bastard. **** ~"Damn. Warn me next time you start to strip," I gasp and turn around to see man standing in the doorway of my room. I pull my dress to my chest in attempt to hide my body. "Who are you? Why are you in my room?" I sputtered and rushed to pull my dress back over myself as he put a hand over his eyes. "I happen to be your boss and I just wanted to introduce myself. Great first impression, really. You have a nice ass," "Mr. Antar?" A dark grin spread over his plump lips, enough to make me melt into a puddle of hormones. "Technically yes, but you can call me Logan. Or daddy, if that's what you're into." My mouth went dry and my cheeks burned so much I thought they would catch fire. "Relax, babe, I was kidding. Unless you want to," He left me standing completely breathless and anxious at the same time. I knew this was a bad idea to begin with but something was holding me here. Perhaps it was the tall, tan, handsome man that just took my breath away. I was screwed

Soul Mates by KahnaKahn

Watching Anna, she was actually down stairs sipping water quietly. I couldn't help but stare at her. Her usually midnight drink. "Thirsty." "Oh, uncle you startled me." She had backed away from me as I tried to touch her. I had been needing her touch more and more. "Why are you so afraid of me?" "What are you talking about?" She nervously giggled as she crept backwards. "I have notice a few things and well you cower at my touch. Tell me Anna, do I frightened you?" Have I in someway? I wondered. "No, uncle," she stepped closer to me pressing her palm on my chest proving that she is not the least bit frightened. "You don't scare me one bit." Her lips were smiling but her eyes had told me a different story. "The prove it." I was now leaning as she had licked her own lips. Fuck I want to taste those lips. "How." Her breath sent me shivers down my core. Further leaning in, I pulled her closer, my hand now firmly on her back as my lips made contact with hers. She hesitated at first, I could feel she was withdrawn but that didn't stop me from taking what I wanted. Kissing her made me forget. I know I shouldn't but I wanted to forget what I had lost. Is it wrong of me to think like that? But this kiss felt so right. Why? She felt perfect beneath me. At that moment I wanted more, I wanted everything she would give me. I wanted her. "What the fuck is going on here." The lights instantly turned on revealing a very pissed of Megan. "Megan I can explain." "How, when I just witness you kissing the one who had killed our child." ***** Do you believe in soul mate because we are destined to be with that one person that makes us whole....

Caught In His World by raes_world22

Madelyn Norlyse. Brown hair with matching brown eyes and a soul that's absolutely lifeless. Dull. Empty. She has been abused and used so many times that she lost count. She doesn't let anyone in easily and trusts almost nobody. She was left for dead, her soul unresponsive and almost annihilated by pain and anguish. Her only joy is her one best friend... that all changes when Dylan Romano comes along. He teaches her to live and she gives him life. -----Extract----- I start to hyperventilate waiting for him to speak. I wasn't allowed to speak without them wanting me too. "Do you know how worried your mother has been?" he asked calmly. I didn't like it when he was calm. He would become angry afterwards. "I asked you a question girl" he stated now looking at me. His eyes were bloodshot. I could tell he was drunk. He forever is. "I didn't mean to upset you or her" i responded as apologetically as i could. My voice was shakey. "where did you go?" he stood up. "Where did you go that was so important you had to break the rules of this home" he was walking closer to me. -----End Of Extract----- My book is written in parts.This is my first time writing my very own story, so if there are any mistakes I'm deeply sorry. Overall, I hope you enjoy! ⚠️Trigger Warning: assault, abuse, violence, graphic details and suicide attempts ⚠️

She said and her face turned ecstatic and I blinked and shook my head. "No, please, I need you to tell my mother that I didn't mean to do do this to myself." I took a hard gulp and met the young girls eye. "Please. It is killing her." She begged and tried to grab my hand but it went through me. "Fine, which one is she?" I asked looking around the restaurant. "The one at the front desk... her name is Maria." She said following me as I walked back towards the front. "A? Where are you going?" Ivory asked and I just held up my hand. "Hi, are you Maria?" I asked and saw the girl nod. "Yes, how can I help you?" She asked with what I can tell was a fake smile. "I know this is going to sound crazy... but your daughter is here." "Mina." The dead girl piped in and I looked over at her. "My daughter is at school." She said and looked around where I had glanced. "Mina is here... I can speak to the dead, she wants me to tell you something."

Teach Me How To Love by HopelessDreamer519

"Caleb..." I whispered, pushing him back slightly. "I can't do this." A tear escaped my eyes and I looked down. "I don't even know what love is, how can you expect me to love you?" I didn't want to hurt him... Caleb sighed, grabbing my chin and forcing me to face him. "Love is falling." He said. "Love is falling and not being afraid to hit the ground because you know someone will always be there to catch you." He stroked my cheek gently. "Let me catch you, Bella." He whispered before crashing his lips to mine. ******************************************* Isabella Taylor~ Nineteen & a single mom afraid to trust anyone.

Confessions of the Lovestruck by NelBlake92

While struggling to fit into their families' worlds, Davina and Elijah find acceptance in each other. But when their families disapprove of their relationship, the couple must learn to stand up for themselves and the person they care for before they let outside influences ruin their chance at happiness. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ She glanced back again and there were tears on her cheeks. "I thought you didn't want me..." My heart shattered into a million pieces. I mean, it really felt like I was having a heart attack the way that the vital organ seized up in my chest. The pain in her voice made me want to carve the bloody thing out and give it to her. I set down the tattoo gun and moved so that I was in front of her and she didn't have to strain to see my face. She laid her head on her forearm and looked away from me, so I laid a hand on her cheek before kneeling down so that we were eye level. "Princess, it was never you. I let my own issues get in the way of what we had going on. You are perfect there's nothing I would change about you. I WANT YOU," I told her. Her entire body shook as she cried so that I had to physically lift her off of the bed and into my arms. Her hand clutched at my shirt as she sobbed and I held her tight. I rocked her and stroked her hair. "I'm sorry," she told me after we were sitting like that for a while. "You have nothing to apologize for anything, Princess. I'm the one who should be sorry about making you feel like that. It will never happen again," I told her. "If you give me another chance to do right by you."

I'm Sorry by sarah__jean

"Daddy don't go" my little girl cried while hugging my leg "Yeah daddy we'll miss you don't go" her twin said hugging my other leg. My oldest son just sat down in the couch with tears streaming down his face. I turned to look at my wife or should I say ex wife. She looked down at the floor with a few tear marks on her cheeks while holding our two other kids. "I'm sorry" I say dropping my bags and taking them off my legs to hug them. I went to sit next to my son and whispered in his ear "I never met to hurt you" after saying that I gave him a hug and ruffled his curly hair. I then went to my wife. "I'm sorry" I said kissing the tear marks, then her lips. I then kissed and hug my 3 year and 1 year old sons. "Daddy loves you" then grabbed my bags and left the house. I just couldn't take it anymore. I have to leave. (Yes I changed how I wanted to write this book. The original idea is still posted on my other books, if you want to see it aswell)

My Little Idiot by jessedictor

"I bet you wouldn't". These words were going to make her rethink her entire life. These words were going to place her where she belongs. I can't turn down a good dare. She provoked me. Deep down she knows this is her fault. At any moment her feeble dad could come stumbling in and see her engaged in my "bet". She found me waiting for her in her bed. She was wearing that ripped grey knitted top and black skirt she always wears. She looks like someone trying to steal a stripper's style but doesn't have the time or experience. I had leaned back with my legs open. I smiled at her. "What the hell are you doing here" she stuttered out. The smirk I had seemed appropriate. She seemed nervous. "I'm here to take you as mine. That time I saved you... I dunno. You're just want I want." I said to her, as she made herself small. "I'm just an idiot..." she trailed off. I stood up. I towered over her; she was so tiny besides me. "I'm here to take you away from your parents. I'm here to make you mine." Four months later, she's here at my place. I think she hates me. She's mostly a junkie though, so her hatred only gets to go so far before she comes back. She tried to find some other guy to support her, but that guy found out quick that's how you end up with a bloody face. I'm face is already so wrecked that I don't get to worry about keeping it pretty. I think all the Cartlidge in the bridge of my nose is gone from too many punches.

Moving In by _CallMe_Crazy

Blaze White is the New Girl at the Prep school in her mothers old home town. But her only goal for senior year is to keep a low profile, no friends, no parties and NO boys. Axel may be adored and worshipped by his peer-but he hates people, except 5. So when a beautiful but closed off girl suddenly enters his group. He is not welcoming of the mysterious beauty despite the pull they both feel. •••• WARNING: This was written many moons ago. I have decided to put it back up because of a large request from readers. However, I was a kid when I wrote this so take it with a grain of salt. *** Like a deer in head lights, I freeze and watch as the car comes towards me expecting to get hit. But to my surprise, the car swerves to the side slightly next to me and comes to a stop. I take a deep breath I didn't know I was holding at the driver's side door swings open and a very pissed off Axel steps out. "Thank god," I mumble and place my hands on my knees to catch my breath. "Blaze?" He says and I hate it. I hate how he says my name as if it's his. Like he knows it's the only thing I want to hear, him calling out to me, looking at me, focused to me. It's the first time in my life I wanted someone's attention so badly I didn't care how I got it. And that was too dangerous for me to hold onto. "Are you insane or some shit? I could have killed you!" He says and starts to walk towards me. I take a big breath and step back away from him, "s-stop! Axel," I stutter still panting. It's then he notices the blood on my hands and shirt. "Is that blood?" He asks staring at my shirt and I take another step back. "Stop, stay b-back," I try to say confidently but I can't even breath right. Realizing he won't listen I start to turn around planning to make a break for it. "Don't run from me Blaze it won't go well," he growls reading my thoughts causing me to freeze in my spot. "Do not ever think you can get away from me."
