"Why must everything with you people be cliche?", Amber asked exasperated, "I don't want something comfortable, expected and normal."
"But we're good together, and you know it", countered Chad.
"I think you should leave", she said walking towards the door. "For good, this time."

"The Platinum Boot? Why'd they even call you that?", he asked, looking straight into her eyes.
"Because I deserved it." she smiled, knowing she'd done nothing to dissolve his confusion.

His Redemption
Amber leaned into Jacob's arms, her body still weak but her mind finally quiet. The night stretched around them, vast and dark, until a cool drop landed on her cheek. Then another. She looked up, and the sky opened. Rain poured down in heavy sheets, soaking her hair, clinging to her skin. For a moment, she simply stared, blinking at the sudden change. Jacob chuckled, his voice low and warm. "Looks like the universe isn't done with us yet," he said, tilting his head back to let the rain hit his face. Amber let out a soft laugh, the sound surprising her after everything that had happened. "It's... kind of perfect, isn't it?" Jacob raised an eyebrow, water dripping from his lashes. "Perfect? We're drenched." Amber stepped out of his arms and spun slowly, her arms stretched wide as the rain washed over her. "Exactly. Drenched, messy, alive." She stopped and looked at him, a playful glint in her eyes. "Dance with me." Jacob smirked. "Here? In the middle of a storm?" "Why not?" she challenged, stepping closer. "You scared, Jacob?" "Of you? Always." But his grin widened, and he took her hand, pulling her into a gentle sway. *** Secrets unravel, exposing dangerous truths. Blood is spilled, leaving scars that run deep.

INSIGHT ON MAI DIARY
The "Please..." I hear her whimper and I go into full panic mode. "Calm down, okay? Deep breaths. Don't hang up. I'll be with you soon. Where are you?" I rush as I grab the car key sitting on the glass table. I run into the garage with my dad behind me. "What do you need?" Dad asks "A room. A big one." He runs back inside as I hear her voice again. "Basement...blood...Elle..." I hear sounds of movement in the background and connect the dots. Elle's bleeding, or something... "Deep breaths baby, deep breaths. It's okay, you're okay" I murmur reassuring words to her, thankful that there's no traffic. Several thoughts run through my mind as I drove to her house. The last time we spoke, she could barely stand me, but now she's calling me. I feel kinda used, but now's not the time to think about that. I reach her house in a matter of minutes and shove the door open. The house is quiet, save for my heavy breathing and footsteps. I reach the basement and take in the sight in front of me. Blair cradles her brutally beaten-up sister in her lap as she rocks herself back and forth blinking very frequently. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Currently being edited Look out for cringe worthy typos and plot loopholesComplete
just 2 days. {COMPLETED} {Wattys2016}
This book is not rated mature but it does have ONE chapter where mature content is involved so PLEASE do NOT report this book. "And how do you suppose we do that?" I scooted a little closer to him and tilted my head a little, curious to know what his response would be. "Um well we could uh talk about our lives you know, school and family and friends and other stuff like that." "And do you really want to do that?" I asked him running a finger down his white t-shirt after closing the small distance between us. "Do you really want to just sit and talk about family," I leaned over to whisper in his ear, "and friends," I lightly nipped his earlobe while continuously running my finger down his shirt until I reached the waistline of his black jeans, "and school," I was just about to trace my finger over his zipper when he gripped my hand and looked me in the eye just as I finished saying, "and other stuff like that." I looked up from our hands to his green eyes, taking in the blueish specks of his irises, with a hint of hazel mixed, surrounding his pupil. We stared at each other for a minute, me admiring how close his proximity is and how the tingly sensation of his hand on mine felt good. "No I don't." Dominic groaned out, looking down at my lips and then back up at me. "No you don't what?" I leaned in a little, suddenly feeling drawn in to his green eyes and awaiting lips. ------ Ryler didn't expect to fall for him so soon. It only took her 2 days for her to realize how much she truly cares for him. Only 2 days for her to also realize it was a mistake. Only 2 days for her to feel heartbroken.Complete
His Sunshine | ✓
She looks up at me, taking a step forward and smiling slightly, "How can I ever get hurt when I have you here to protect me?" "But you could have gotten hurt," I murmur softly, hanging my head and feeling my shoulders drop, the tension seeping from my body. "No. Stop," She cuts me off sternly but tenderly, "Don't talk like that, Reece. I'm okay, you're okay, we're okay," She speaks softly, reaching her hand up to gently brush her thumb over my cheek, just under the cut that's there. "We're okay," I repeat, taking a small step closer to her. She nods with a small smile, moving her hand down from my cheek and instead placing the palm of her hand on my chest, right over my heart. I know she can feel how fast my heart is beating. I just don't know why it's doing that. ~ Reece Carter is the bad boy of Northwood High. He smokes and he fights.

The makeover
"You know you still want me." he said cockily. "As if!" I yelled at him. "I must say, I like the new look." he all but smirked. ************************** Alex was the shy, quiet nerd that nobody talked to. Although, she was shy at school she was quit loud, crazy , and pretty sarcastic. She just thought that nobody at school was worth her time. Damien was your typical cocky jock. He had the girls, the 'followers', and he was the captain of the soccer team. Now, you're probably wondering how they both fit in to the story. Well, they used to date. It just didn't end well. So, Alex now hates Damien. For the reason that he stole her heart and that he is, as she put it, "an egotistical asshole". ============================= Ok. So this is my first story I don't know how it will turn out. So, please comment and tell me how you think it's going. Oh and mild language.Complete
Six Years After
I watched, tears clouding my vision, as he walked up the road. He didn't look back. I knew this was as hard for him as it was for me. Although he had said he'd be back, I knew he wouldn't. And I think he knew the same. It was impossible for us to be together. It would have to be a miracle for us to be paired as a marriage. I stepped back after gently wiping away tears under my eyes and shut the door. I let out a few deep breaths. I wanted to run after him and beg him to run away with me, but like I said before, it would be impossible. I looked over to the girls and Miss Jennings, who were patiently waiting in the dining room. I took another deep breath and joined them reluctantly. I looked back out the window, finding Mathias nowhere.Complete
2.3 | Saving Amber ✔️
"I don't know who I am anymore," I whispered, staring into the distance sadly. I was fed up with feeling like this. I was like a lost puppy who couldn't navigate its way back home. It was pathetic. I didn't even know if I had a home anymore. Would my life always be like this? Would I ever feel content? Safe? His gorgeous amber eyes softened in sympathy. It was almost as if he hated seeing me like this. But why? Why did he care? He didn't even know me. "I do," He said, determinedly. "Give me a chance and I will show you." *** They say love can survive anything but can it survive this?Complete
Better Than Ever
"YOU FUCKING BITCH!" I heard a loud thud as something dropped on the floor. "Guys! Come here!" I hesitated a while but I gathered my courage and went out of my hiding spot and slowly walked to her as I turned on my flashlight. Once I got closer, I stood there speechless. What I saw, was not what I expected. "Did you- Did you knocked him off?" I asked her in disbelief. The figure lay on the floor unconscious. "How- How did. Wait, What did you do?" I asked her again. × HAPPY READING!Complete
