' Maybe it was the attraction I was starting to feel for Jack, the comfort I felt in that house or simply the desire to let the truth out, knowing he had seen right through my failed attempt to dodge his question. I decided to tell him, in a few words, how exactly was my family.
"Some of them are lovely. Some of them are selfish and prefer to pretend I don't exist until I'm right in front of them. Some of them talk behind my back and appear before me with a smile in their faces, unaware I know what they truly think of me. It's kind of like having friends, right? Either way, they're all far away from me except for my mom. She's one of the lovely people, though, so it's fine."'
Annastasia is a 17-year-old girl who's one year away from graduating high school, lucky enough to meet her favorite writer's son, Jack Miller.
Lydia is her 47-year-old mom, divorced, who finds herself being charmed by a handsome stranger.
Anyone who sees them walking down the street or going out for breakfast on a Sunday morning might think they're the typical mature mother and foolish young adult daughter, but "typical" is the one word that doesn't fit into their description.
Why do we assume people's personalities based on their age, anyway?
What will happen when Anna meets Jack?
And who's that charming man who's flirting with her mom?!

"I... Am here to see you.", I told him as I placed my hands around his neck. I could feel my heart beat getting faster but I had to keep it strong if I had to survive this scenario. "What?", Brandon asked completely startled. I leaned in more closer to him. The only good thing in this entire scene was that he wasn't pushing me back due to my creepy behaviour. "Oh... Bran, I was missing you so much, I just... I needed to see you.", I said as I came up with lie. "Are you drunk?", Brandon asked as he leaned in closer trying to smell my mouth. Thank God Fel had given me her mint gum only moments before I went commando and came inside the locker room. "What?", I scoffed still standing extremely close to Brandon. "I just.... I was missing your gorgeous face.", I told another lie. But wait? His face is gorgeous so that isn't a lie. And was I not missing seeing him? I noticed Brandon who just had his eyes popped out of his socket with bewilderment at my words. I decided to peck him on the cheek before I storm out of the locker room. I leaned ahead to peck Brandon who moved his face in my direction and instead of his cheeks, our lips crashed. Brushing against each other, our lips touched. I could feel fireworks exploding inside my entire body.

Worth the Risk
August & Colin | WRU series | book 1 We take risks. We make mistakes. We lie. We love. We hurt. We lose total control. I took a risk. I paid the price. I made a mistake. I felt the guilt. I lied. I lie. I loved. I try not to. I hurt. I still do. I lost control. I'm losing again. I try to stick to my plan, I try to follow my rules, I try to silence my heart, I try to keep control of the domino stones that represent my life. But one domino fell and the rest just followed. *** "We shouldn't do this," he whispers against my lips. I should applaud him for having the strength to act on that thought because I haven't been able to. At one point I wanted to, but his touches made the impulse to stop vanish. Now, the only thing I want to act on is the longing inside my chest as I think about demolishing the space between us. "Do you want to stop?" I can feel his frown against my forehead. He nudges my nose before placing a featherlight kiss on my mouth. His hands slide over my jawline, his thumbs slowly caressing my cheeks. He gives me another kiss. Slow and deliberately, as if he's still debating the answer to my question as he slicks his tongue over mine. He softly sucks on my bottom lip, dragging it with him when he pulls away. "I can't," he confesses before he presses his lips back on mine. *** All Rights Reserved (Do not copy this story, thank you :))Complete
My Teddy
The corner of his mouth tilts upward slightly. I smile again. A smile!? A tiny one, but still. "Hm. So I got you to smile, that's progress, yeah? Can I get your name now?" I ask, swinging my feel a little. He shakes his head shyly, his mouth not moving at all. Geez! Why do I want to hear this dude talk so much? "Okay, that's fine. I can give you a nickname." I offer happily. He looks up from his book, raising his eyebrows. I just stare for a moment. He has nice eyes. Pretty brown chocolate orbs. They remind me so much of....... "Teddy." He shakes his head immediately, frowning. "What, why not? You remind me of my old teddy bear. He was a good listener and he didn't talk much..... just like you." I say softly, tilting my head. He continues to shake his head. I fold my arms, leaning back in my seat. "Yeah, it's definitely sticking. Teddy.....It has a nice ring to it, yeah?" He sighs, the first sound I have ever heard him make. "No." . . . *Jordan* Teddy!? Seriously!? She gave me a fucking NICKNAME!? What the hell does this girl want!? I stuff my hands into my pockets, walking down the busy street. Forget about her. She's just a annoying pretty girl, she'll go away. Everybody does. She HAS to go away. *Spoiler alert*: she doesn't. Don't get close to people or they'll end up getting hurt. That's my mindset. I've been through enough of that. This girl doesn't belong in my world anyway. She's too innocent. *Mature content* {Just a quick update, I am basically rewriting the story. I wrote it when I was in 8th grade and it makes me cringe every time I try to go back and edit it so keep in mind that it'll get better}Complete
The Comeback
*past* "Just leave Mary Grace." Teddy says to me with a blank stare, but I could see sadness built around them. "But Teddy, why-" I begin to say as a tear falls down my cheek. "No one wants you here loser. Ted never liked you. He just felt sorry for you." Savannah Oak says beside Teddy. I look to Teddy knowing that he'll stick up for me like he always does, but he is just staring at the floor. "Is that true?" I ask looking at him. He looks up and nods. "Dont you have a flight to catch?" Paige asks with a smirk. Tears Fall down my face, Savannah rolls her eyes and walks away. "Goodbye Mary Grace." Teddy says closing the door. I slowly turn around and hop back on my bike. How could he do this to me? We've been friends since we were little. He turned out to be just like the rest of them. He never did like me. I ride my bike home sobbing. "Mary Grace what happened?" My sister Anna Maria says running over to me. As I push my bike onto the driveway. "I never want to comeback here again!" I cry into her shoulder. *** Summary will be the first chapter! Hope you enjoy, first Teen Fiction Story. :) Btw. This is my story I made it up with my mere imagination, so don't steal thanks.

Shattered Wings ⇢ teen wolf // stiles stilinski
[COMPLETED, SEQUEL NOW UP] ~Prologue~ My name is Isabel Cannenta. I'm a somewhat average 16 year old sophomore living in a Beacon Hills. My mom died a while ago, it's just me and my dad. He works at the local hospital a lot, so he's barely ever around. He isn't the best at parenting... let's just say me and Isaac Lahey have something in common. I don't have it as bad as him because he works at the hospital so much, but he's thrown glass vases, plates, punched me, kicked me.. never too far, though. Thank god there's a such thing as makeup. I usually try to stay away from home as much as possible, he doesn't seem to care. No one knows though, not even Stiles or Scott. Or Isaac. Isaac vents his problems to me, and I help clean his wounds. I'm also friends with Erica, but I don't talk to her that much either. I know what to do when she has seizures, and whenever she has one I'm always there to make her feel better and let her vent out her problems. I like helping people, being nice. I never take sides in arguments. It's nice. One night I went into the woods searching for half of a dead body with my two best friends, Stiles Stilinski and Scott McCall. I love Stiles. I've had a crush on him basically forever, but he's too in love with Lydia. Don't get me wrong, Lydia is probably nice somewhere in that cold shell of her's. Beginning of sophomore year is when my life took a gigantic turn into the supernatural world.Complete
