"Bad children are punished, Alexis." Her name - the words rotten off his tongue. Her eyes widened as he came closer, his hand diving deep into his pocket, whilst his other firmly held onto the cowering girl. 

The girl screamed, but no noise escaped her throat, only the hitched breathing that only seemed to grow louder. There was only the deafening silence, the constant throb in her chest, stabbing deep as his warm breath came closer.

But in that moment there was only her heartbeat, the relentless thump in her chest the only link between reality, and her nightmares. With a blink she no longer was cowering in a musty corner, her face no longer dirtied, the slow trickles of blood stopped falling from her face -she was safe. 

There wasn't a single part of this man, that she couldn't forget. But how could she forget? How could she forget, when her scars cut so deep? When in the dark, she could still feel the weight of his revolting body on hers. She may have escaped, but she wasn't free -she was nothing but broken. But like most struggles, no one would notice, her cries and screams were again unheard; a whisper compared to the shrieks and demands of the hateful world.

Cold Water by adaline_meadows

[BWWM] I was only twelve years old when the world turned cold. The day my mom died in that car accident, I felt like someone had dumped a bucket of ice water over my heart. My dad, who had always been my hero, suddenly became a stranger, filled with rage and blame. He couldn't see that I was hurting, too; he only saw me as a reminder of his loss. The accusations cut deep. He said it was my fault for being there, for not doing something to save her. For being the reason she was in the car in the first place. In the years that followed, things only got worse. The abuse started gradually-a harsh word here, a shove there-but it escalated, leaving scars that I carried long after the physical pain faded. I was drowning in my own despair, struggling to keep my head above water while my father's anger raged like a storm around me. I only had a break from his anger when I started living with Aunt Dina-my mom's older sister. Well, that was because she found me nearly dead on my bed after I took a dozen pills. I was tired of living. I had hit rock bottom. The harsh whispers that followed me around and the stares at school. I pretended not to notice, like it didn't bother me. But it did. I was alone. Then came Athalia, a ray of sunshine cutting through my darkness. With her, I felt something I hadn't felt in years-happiness. She became my light through the darkness and my lifeline. ••••••••••• ● Warnings ⚠️ ~ Mention of suicide ~ Anxiety attacks ~ Rape attempt ~ Mention of self-harm ~ Depression

Ashlyn Scott is your average American teenager. She lives with both her parents and older brother Case. She's captain of the cheer squad, and is top of her class. She gets along with everyone, and is considered one of the nicest people in the whole school. But then there's Caiden Cummings. Caiden has every single material item he could ever want. And all the attention of any girl he could ever want. But his life is utterly miserable. He's had two of the most important people in his life ripped away from at too young of an age. He chooses to numb his pain with alcohol and drugs. The weak man's way out. He built a wall around his heart, and he won't let anyone in. When Ashlyn and Caiden cross paths one night, Caiden finds himself -much to his dismay- opening up to her. And Ashlyn finds herself willing listen to anything he has to say, and trying to help him out of his dark place. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We both smiled at each other, our bodies pressed together. Our fingers intertwined. He leaned over me as I stood up on my tip-toes. Our lips pressed together, and I immediately felt the goose bumps. My knees were weak, and butterflies flew in my stomach. I dropped my hands from his and pushed them through his thick, soft hair. He pulled me tighter up against him, like he couldn't get enough. Every part of me wanted to hold on to him, and never let go. I would never, ever get used to this feeling. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Highest Rankings: #1 in Hookups #1 in Players #1 Numbness
