Knocked Out
"Stop! You're going to hurt each other, stop!" My voice cracked as I cried out, my words getting lost in the chaos around us. I didn't know how to make them listen. "Laylanna! Put your fucking clothes on!" Reuben's voice was like a whip, sharp and furious, and it made me jump. I had never heard him yell at me like that before, and the shock of it made my chest tighten. This wasn't the guy who would tease me and laugh it off. My hands were shaking uncontrollably as I reached down to grab my dress off the floor. The fabric felt cold against my skin as I quickly pulled it back on, feeling exposed and vulnerable. x xx x xx Laylanna thought moving back home would be a fresh start. Instead, she's faced with Reuben, her childhood crush who's just as frustrating as ever, and Ethan... a stranger who seems to know exactly how to push her buttons. Old memories, new attractions, and a high school that feels more dangerous than ever. Can she survive the first day-or will her heart get caught in the chaos?

"I'll leave you alone." His words filled the tormenting silence, "After tonight you won't have to see me again, only in class and that's it." My heart ached at his words, why? This should be a good thing, I wouldn't have to deal with Alejandro Rodriguez ever again. So why... Why does the thought of him not being around hurt. I stopped playing with my food and slowly lifted my head to look at him. He stared straight into my watery eyes. His face filled with regret and concern. He stood up from his seat and walked over to me, squatting down to my level. "Hey, hey." He softly whispered his hands holding both of my mines, softly caressing them with his thumb. "Please don't cry, por favor." He reached a hand to my face and gently wiped the tears. "I-I don't want you to leave me alone." My voice breaking and my vision filling with tears.

Our Secret To Keep.
A delayed flight. A stranger at a hotel bar. A one night stand. Stranded in New York for an extra night than planned due to a delayed flight, I needed to find a way to keep myself occupied, and I soon found that something. It was easy enough when the handsome stranger introduced himself to me as Kade. It has been a while since I have had a hot one-night stand, and he reminds me how fun it can be. There are no questions, expectations or reasons to see one another again. What I don't expect is our night together to come around and bite me in the ass. When I arrive at a family dinner with my parents and two older sisters to celebrate my return home to Scotland, he is sitting right there with them. Not only is he my father's new business partner, but he is my sister's blind date set up by my parents. We pretend to be strangers because things would become complicated if we didn't. No one ever needs to know about what happened between us. My dad would freak out if he found out about us because he is overly protective of me as the youngest, and with the age gap between Kade and me, my father wouldn't approve. My relationship with my older sister is already strained; I don't need to make things worse between us. Even though he doesn't seem interested in her and he tries his best to show that it could still make all hell break lose. My sister hates losing. She always gets what she wants. I should stay away from him, but it is easier said than done with the tension and chemistry between us, and we struggle to fight against it. No matter what happens, it needs to be our secret to keep.

If Only
Madelyn One single night changed my life forever. Everything I once knew and loved disappeared in less then 10 minutes. I guess you could say I pretty much gave up on my life after that night. All the hopes and dreams I once had completely disappeared. I wanted literally nothing to do with ANYTHING. That was until I met Cruz Harrison. He changed it all. He gave me a reason to want to wake up in the mornings again. He quickly became the only thing I cared about. I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him despite what everyone in town said about him. If only it was that simple. Cruz I've been coasting through life with a 0 fucks given attitude for as long as I can remember. I would say my mom dying was the trigger for my bad behaviour but that's bull shit. I've been fucking up my life for much longer then that. I can't tell you what made me want to get clean; but I think a subconscious part of my brain knew that she was coming. It knew I needed to prepare myself for her. She changed everything for me. In the shortest amount of time she made me realize I was so much more than what the people in our city said about me. I would have the world if I had her by my side... if only it was that fucking simple.Complete![My Monsters [A Garroth X Reader Story]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/148624699-256-k563300.jpg)
My Monsters [A Garroth X Reader Story]
I smiled as I watched my closest friends be happy. That's all I've ever wanted, right? Make those around me happy, but it's hard sometimes. It's hard to watch those around you be happy when you can't manage to be happy yourself. But don't worry. It'll get better, right? That's what they say. Maybe they're right. I should just trust them. Trust. I have too much of that sometimes. I guess it's a bit of a price when you wear your heart on your sleeve. It gets knocked around pretty easily. It gets scratched and torn every now and then. My brother and sister, Aaron and Malissa, have always told me that I've always worn my heart on my sleeve. I may wear my heart on my sleeve, but I can't help but do whatever I can to protect it. Closing people out is usually the best way, but that's hard when you have kind heart. If there's any emotion I can hide, it's love. Well, at least I think so. I try, okay? Doesn't mean I'm good at it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hello fellow potatoes! Fair warning: This story will have some depressing themes and possibly some triggers.
