IF I FALL - #Wattys2016 by DaminiIce

*****WATTYS2016***** It all started with a lie. I was just his fake girlfriend... yet, I got caught in my own game. He was all I always ran away from: the handsome type who goes from one girl to the other as he pleased, always joking , never serious, to the point I never knew if he really meant all he said or not. That loaded kid who never had to work to get whatever he wanted was definitely up to no good... but something else was hidden, deeper inside him. Something I couldn't escape...

Who They Are by Heather_gO

*DON'T READ THIS ONE FIRST!! It won't make much sense! ~Sequel to Who She Is~ Mature Content After making her mine and learning some of her dark secrets, I've put myself in a terrible situation. A situation I don't know if I can get away from. A situation that may ruin my life. I did it all for her. I'd do it again. If it keeps her safe, I'd do anything. What I end up having to do, though, isn't what I was expecting.

LAW OF ATTRACTION by feufeu15

Newton needed an apple to discover the Law of universal attraction. I needed Alex Carter to discover the attraction. Alex Carter, THE BAD BOY. Do I need to say more? Probably not, because everyone knows him. He's the typical bad boy with bad behavior, leather jacket, and that dark aura that makes almost every girl drool over him, along with the fact that he is strong, handsome, with brown hair, tattoos, and a smolder look that can set you on fire. But he's also known for fighting, dealing drugs, vandalism, and so much more that make everyone fear him. He screams Danger. He is Danger. Me, Elena, on the other hand, I'm a nerd. Do I need to say more? Well, there isn't much to say. Nobody knows me. I'm invisible. I always play it safe and follow the rules. I have two friends, and I've been bullied several times because I'm shy, awkward, clumsy, and I have good grades, attributes that don't really help in high school. Everything separates us, or so it seems, yet an irresistible attraction pulls us together. People will say 'opposites attract', but maybe we have more in common than we've thought, and that's what draws us together... Like 2 free electrons, will our encounter result in a rare, beautiful, perfect balance, or will it cause a ravaging explosion? Warning for strong language and mentions, and some steam in the chapters.... ;) _______________________________________ Ranked #1 in #TeenFiction on May 20, 2020, and June 26, 2022 Featured in Wattpad BadassReads' The Badass King reading list THE FALL AWARDS 2021 (ContemporaryLit) Winner of Ambassadors Picks in Romance WRITER'S GLORY AWARDS 1st Place Winner in Teen Fiction PHOENIX AWARDS 2019 Winner of People Review in Romance THE CUPID AWARDS VALENTINE'S EDITION Winner of Cupid's favorites THE ATLA AWARDS Winner in Romance

The Irrefutable Flame⎪✓ by IAmEmmaHey

"As you said yourself, you know me." "But I don't, not really," He starts, studying my body swiftly and making my breath catch in my throat.

"And why is that?" He says, taking a step closer to me, gradually caging me in with the kitchen counter behind me. "Worried it'll reopen feelings?" "You don't make me nervous, Elijah," I lie smoothly. "I beg to differ, love." ******* They've been through absolute hell and back, both of them fighting and struggling to stay afloat in the ruthless drift that is life.

Beside by immoralLaurel

''Tell me how it feels,'' he whispers. "Good," I gasp, my entire body trembling. Deeper. Harder. Perfect -- like we've been doing this for years. His hand finds my jaw, fingers firm as he tilts my head up, making me look at him. And that's it. Waves of heat pound into my belly, exploding out to my toes as my nails scrape down his back. I don't think about what comes next -- him pulling his shirt on and leaving. I don't feel heartbroken when I imagine myself alone in here. It's casual, our intimacy. And it's too late to renegotiate. ***** When Fox hooks up with his new roommate at a masked club, he has no idea their fling is just the beginning. The woman he's living with is the same girl who shared candy with him under a playground slide. 𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙨 𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙨𝙩 𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙨 𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙙𝙚𝙧 𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙨 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙖𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣 STANDALONE NOVEL C O N T A I N S : ❤︎ sexual/mature content ❤︎ found family ❤︎ explicit language ❤︎ fantastic grammar ;) Copyright © 2024 immoralLaurel.

The Art of Starting Over by AliasTummas1

Have you ever sunk so low that you actually felt relieved, knowing that it couldn't possibly get any worse? Well, I have... Many times. I lost everything. My family, my future, my home... I swore I would never depend on anyone ever again. And he swore nothing will ever tie him down. He told me he has ghosts. I told him I have fears. We agreed. We were eachother's impending death. And yet I fell for him, slowly and deeply, until I didn't know how to be without him. And he fed on me, gently and steadily, until he didn't know how to let me go. They said he'll never stay. Yet, here he is. I said my heart will never break. Yet, here I am. My name is Alison Lewis, and all I want is to start over. #thewattys2021 Shortlist and #FEATURED on Wattpad Chicklit, New Adult, Romance and Psychological Novel #official reading lists.

Pure Hate by ineslepeuch

What would you do if your boyfriend broke up with you for someone else? Even worse. She is that girl. Popular, shallow and horribly perfect. The one who thinks she's above everyone else and that all the guys have fallen for her. So I decided to hit him harder. The only thing that would piss him off more than seeing me with another guy would be seeing me with this guy. Because no one likes it when the enemy takes away something that used to be ours, not even when we left it behind as if it wasn't worth a penny. He hates him and it would be the perfect revenge. It really would if I didn't hate him even more. Growing up with the person you hate most in the world just because he's your brother's best friend is hard enough. Then imagine asking him to fake date you in order to make another guy jealous... Hopeless, huh? Well, consider me a hopeless cause because now, is the time for my revenge. 𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆟 𓆝 This story contains mature themes and inappropriate language, not suitable for all audiences.
