Maybe
An internal voice whispered, "Call him." But I chose not to. I dismissed it once more, saying, "He never liked me anyway." Yet the dilemma lingered. "But maybe he does.

I lift my hand, holding my pistol to his chest, hovering over his heart. He stares at me, emotions spilling out of him. Emotions I can't decipher. He leans closer, the tip of the barrel pressing into his skin, just above his heart. "Do it," he whispers, inches from my face. I hold his gaze, while his hands snake under my shirt, grazing my skin. "I dare you," he lowers his voice, so gently, "Shoot me." My finger curls around the trigger, an inch from pulling it. I glare into his eyes, "You're a fucking monster," I whisper. He nods, "I know." "You kill without remorse," I spit. "I know." "I hate you," My finger screams at me to pull the trigger. "I know." "I'm disgusted by you." "I know," he inhales, letting his forehead rest against mine. His gaze falls to my lips, "If you want me dead, then kill me, pull the trigger." - It's no longer a question.

Last Kiss [DISCONTINUED]
A/N- This story is not as cliched as the title or summary makes it out to be. It's not cliched AT ALL. Vivanna Des Chanel: how would one describe her? Sweet, sensitive, and understanding. No one knew that under that girl-next-door facade Vivanna had a series of disturbing secrets that she strived to hide and run away from every single day of her life. Her motto in life is to survive. Sounds simple? For her it isn't. Leon Colton was just another bad boy. The type that mess with the rules, get away with anything at all because of their financial background, smoke, do all the wrong things and have the ability to charm any lady with a simple glance in their direction. Or at least that's what Vivanna thought. ~~ “The story I am about to tell you is about a girl. A girl who fell in love with a boy like no other; a boy who had the heart of an angel but wore the facade of a devil; a boy who loved her with all his heart even when she didn't love him; a boy who was probably the lord’s greatest creation. And that's how the tale that depicts how an innocent crush turned into forbidden love, how two lives were entangled and then ripped apart from each other begins. Because love is not always meant to be and sometimes you lose the thing that is most dearest to you when you need it the most." This is a story about Vivanna and Leon; two very different people thrown together in a peculiar mix of thrills and deadly secrets. This is their story. A/N- Maybe one day, I'll start to write this story again. For now though, it's been discontinued because I do not enjoy writing it at all, and that could deteriorate the quality of the work. Thanks.Complete
I Fell in Love with a Bad Boy
CRINGE WARNING! First book I ever wrote on here!! -- "Sometimes the person who you are willing to take a bullet for is the person behind the gun." I stood peering over the cold lifeless body that lay before my eyes. I had always thought of death the enemy, but right now, I blessed it upon the person who is now at peace. Sometimes you don't need to be the smartest, or the fastest, but you do need to be wisest. They say the blood runs deeper than water, and I believe it, because even though the people that we love can turn on us and begin to hate us, they are only human, meaning that soon they will begin to see how short life really is and how it is not to be wasted. People who seem perfect and they look like they have no floors'; they are the people who are suffering, like I was. But I found my savior in the most uncommon place. He was able to look through my mask, he saw the cracks, and tried to fix the broken girl that hid away deep inside the girl who only wanted to be seen as 'fine'. I slowly began to find comfort and safety in him, and I did the same to him. We were two broken people becoming whole. Someone once said when you pass, if you can count your true friends on one hand you are beyond lucky, and I even though I did not like the person that lay before me, I know that he once had true friends, including me. I'm a 17 year old girl who has suffered more than any other, beginning to believe that 'Hope' was just another word the people throw around. Until I fell in love with a badboy.
