This is a collection of moments and memories I am compiling that I may weave together at some point. The genre is friendship, romance, and the fragility of youth...

The memories follow myself and one of my very best, most dear friends through the friendship, romance, and heartbreak of our youth and early adult years. This story has no end and is a reflection on the preciousness of life, connection, and love and the many forms that can take. There is little dialogue as like most memories I remember mainly the feeling  of the moment and what was happening around me though the dialogue that is here is significant as it has resonated with me over many years.

This was meant to act almost like a box where someone keeps their most treasured sentimental items, things that may not have a practice use but with which they cannot bear to part.All Rights Reserved

The Girl with No Emotions by vloria_vines

I was just thinking. I swear. But maybe my mind over thought. It's weird that everything can seem so simple, straight forward. Black and white. Two colors. So obvious. So there. Him and Her. Two people. So obvious. So there. But once you add gray, things get kind of complicated. Then you add color. And it's a wonderfully complicated bright world. She's two in one. The storm and the shade. No one ever stops to thank the storm for shading them from what's above it. What if the sun was too strong, too powerful that day and the storm came along just to protect us all from it? It was this epic battle between the two and the storm was hurting and it cased all this damage to the earth. No one thanks the storm for its sacrifice when it finally loses the battle and the sun shows its smug face. We all hate the storm for the disaster it created and praise the sun, when the storm just wanted to protect us. The storm and the shade. She's the storm and the shade. She's the chaos and the calm. Only I can't see the chaos. Not fully. She's keeping it all inside. All I see is the calm. I can tell though. I can tell there's chaos. I just can't see it. It's not so black and white. It's not a simple boy likes girl. Girl likes boy. It never was. But I like her. I do. The storm and the shade.

Yearn by FlynnsFryingPan

EXTRACT: She rises and hurries to the backyard door, turning towards me with an amused expression. "Catch me if you can." She challenges me, and I'm always willing to take one on. "Oh it's on." This time I wasn't planning on letting her win. She slid the door open and ran outside onto the green grass. Faith tried to careful to avoid slipping it due to the rain. I dashed there following her. "What are you guys doing?! Are you crazy?!" Allegra yells at us from the deck by the door. "You're so slow!" Faith looks back while running. "Oh just you wait Faith-" I catch up just behind really closing to grabbing hold of her. The rain soaked her brown hair and drenched her clothes but she didn't seem to mind. The appearance of her smile was only enhanced by her wet face. I realize I'm supposed to catch her and grab her, but as soon as I do, we both find ourselves slipping onto the grass. Swish. We rested on the lawn, catching our breath from the chase. Faith hovers over me and restrains me by pressing both of my wrists. In retaliation, I flip her over the same way and secure her. "Good try." I sneer and laugh at her unsuccessful attempt. I leaned over her frame, gazing straight into her deep brown eyes, and I had no intention of removing my gaze from them in the future. I seemed to have caught her off guard and she didn't know how to react. Time slowed down for a moment, it continued to downpour, there was still grass in her hair. And out of nowhere, Faith kissed my cheek. There's no way that just happened. ************ end of extract. I won't say I knew I wouldn't fall in love with him, I knew. The very first instant, from the first glance, from that sense of unfamiliar familiarity, I knew. And I think he did too. I wouldn't say it was love at first sight, rather just a feeling like I had some ties to this person, who knows maybe in a past life. Well anyway, I did, but little did I know that the first time it would ruin me. But the second time, It healed me.

Til' You Kissed Me by PravanyaBatra

"Dear Crush, I exist... and trust me or not, but no one else in this whole world can love you the way I do..." He fell in love for the first time in his life. Even after being the most popular guy at school, he was afraid to talk to her, not because she was more popular than him, but because she was different, very different from other girls out there. She was in love with him, since elementary school. Just a single glimpse of him was enough to make her day. But she was afraid to tell him, obviously, he was way too popular and better for a girl like her. But, even though he was popular, he was... different. His politeness was the thing that attracted her... the most. Then one day, their love was sealed by a kiss! Will they ever be able to tell each other and realize, that... "They are made for each other..." **Please feel free to share any advice to make this story better** **The credit for the photos used in this story goes to the original and rightful owners** ** Also I'm not a real writer, please ignore if there are any mistakes** **Please vote and comment**

Last July by AriHaruno8

"Listen Kenzy, I know I've been an ass and truthfully maybe you shouldn't even bother returning my calls. You're right, I've been nothing but awful since we met, driving you away yet desperate to keep you close" My heart clinches, but I dared not breathe. Too afraid to give in, too afraid that if I reach for the phone, I'll call. I'll call to make it right. I want to make it right, because this man affects me more than I ever thought he would. But it isn't right. I can't give myself false hope. "Please just talk to me, let me explain. It's not you.....it's me. I'm the asshole. You don't deserve this, you didn't. ..." He pauses and I hold my breath still, fearing he'd hear me breathe, yet, it's only his left voicemail on the phone. Not him "I'm sorry.......dammit!" And that's it, our one sided conversation ends and I'm more broken than before. What happens when your world crashes? When the people you thought would be there forever literally runs through the door without a second glance backwards? What happens with taking a step outside your comfort zone? What happens when that step outside that comfort zone turns into....well unexpected? Personalities clash, feelings are crushed and just maybe that one person you ignore turns out to be the damn life savers. Easy enough, but did I forget to mention they belong to someone else? Will what happens in summer stay with summer? The beautiful cover was done by @LittleRedConverse23, go check out her great work ❤❤❤ #thebuttercupawards2020 #RoseAwards

Altered by LuellaOpal

Have you ever met someone who alters the course of your life? For good or for bad, they've come in, given and taken, and then- BOOM! Your life was never the same. There's always a change, an altering of reality. When you meet those people, the reality that you've known your whole life is suddenly gone and a new one has taken its place. When those moments happen, there's no going back. You can try to return to the way things were but nothing, and I mean nothing, can take you back to exactly how it was. That's what happened to us. I think that's why we're still trying so desperately to get back to some sort of normalcy. Four years later and we're still on the ground, crawling, in search of the happiness that was lost that June. Summers will never be the same. Midnight walks through my neighborhood will never be the same. Field parties with bonfires and loud music will never be the same. I still don't know why you left and what lead you to the decision you made. What I do know is that we're here. We're alive and we're pushing forward to the future. A future that you're not a part of. But in some ways, I'm glad you're not a part of it. I just wish it wasn't like this. *** TRIGGER WARNING*** SA, abuse, suicide, substance abuse, and mental illness. This is a complete story that is much like life; fast, full of surprises, and not always how we want it to be. This has been a project of mine for over three years. It was self-published on Amazon, but after some issues in publication, I decided to just upload it on here. I hope you fall in love with these characters like I have. The friends in this story are trying to make names for themselves, figure out who they are, who they can trust, how to love, and how to separate themselves from a restrictive community. As in any coming of age story, they will experience growing pains... but will they survive them before its too late? PLEASE READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS.

As a new person from her past complicates things, I'm left wondering if we can rewrite our story or if we're destined to fall apart once more.
