”Can I ask you something?" the dark-haired boy asked in front of me. "And can you answer as honestly as possible?"

I looked up from the textbook that was in front of me and stared into his sea green eyes. "It depends on the question, but go ahead."

"If I wasn't a gang leader..."

I leaned closer, waiting for the rest. "Uh-uh?"

"... would you date me?"

"Why would you like to know?" I asked.

His eyes focused on mine. "Maddison," he began. "Just answer."

"I-I..." I hesitated. "I don't know."

"You're hesitating because you're afraid to admit it."

I was taken by surprise. "Admit what?"

"That you have feelings for me."

..............................................................................................................................

We used to be best friends before one summer night changed everything. He changed drastically; he wasn't the person I knew. He betrayed me, he turned his back when I needed him most. So you're probably wondering why I'm standing in front of a gang leader, who he happened to be. Oh, that's right; I'm in love with him. Maddison Rose was crazy for Damon Miles.

His faint laugh stopped me in my tracks, my body turning sightly to look at him again. "That was cute. Really, I loved it, but you know I can't just stay away." He said while using air quotations for the last part of his sentence. My narrowed eyes continued to shoot daggers at him, "and why is that, Grayson? Huh?" I asked in a mocking tone. He rubbed along his jaw while pulling in on his bottom lip, his head lightly shaking from side to side. "What?" I said louder, my patience long gone. "I live right next door," he deadpanned, "I'm not going anywhere. As far as I'm concerned we're gonna be seeing each other practically every day, so this whole thing about staying away just isn't going to work for you. I don't let things I love go so easily." A chill went down my spine as I watched him walk up the stairs of his porch, "sweet dreams, Cam." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Eighteen year old, Cameron Woods, is ready to start her senior year alongside her friends and boyfriend, Damon Valero.

"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

Morgan Hall is your average teenager. That is if you consider having a billionaire CEO of a world renowned company as a dad and a fashion designer of one of the most famous lines in the world as a mother average. Let's not leave out her singer/actress of a sister who's taking the world by storm. Morgan was no doubt born with a giant silver spoon in her mouth, but her life isn't always as perfect as it seems. Aaron Smith, quiet and reserved, admired my many for his good looks. He doesn't seem to associate himself with many people. Which is why it's so strange when he finds himself becoming friends with the rich, little, daddy's girl...at least that's what he thinks of her. Fate and chance are at work when they cross paths one afternoon on a bus. Throw in crazy lives and secret identities, and you get one hell of a ride on the road to self discovery. What Morgan doesn't know is that one stubborn move could land her a new friend, and possibly even more. ~~~~~ "It's amazing...magical even, how hearing one song can take you back to a single moment or a series of them, just so you can live it all over again," he said. "I think that's the best part about music. It's like time travel you know? Going back to the past, or sometimes even visualizing the future...what we could be." "What about the sad moments?" I asked softly. "Nobody wants to re-live those." "Maybe not, but that's the entirety of it," he answered, raising his hand to brush away the hair from my face before tucking it behind my ear. "There's always good in the bad, and bad in the good. Balance." His fingers trailed down my arm, sending shock waves through me. "Can I tell you something?" I asked softly. The corner of his lips curved upwards in a small smile. "You can tell me anything."

★★★ "Tell me what you want," he murmured, his words sending a shiver down my spine. "I want you," I replied, my voice filled with longing. "I want you to fuck me." He chuckled, his eyes meeting mine with a heated gaze that made my heart race. "Come again, baby?" he teased. As his thumb brushed over my bottom lip, parting them slightly, I softened my gaze, giving him a look that I knew would drive him wild. "Fuck me," I said, my voice more commanding this time, the urgency pulsing through every word. "God," he breathed, his voice slightly higher as he hid his face in the crook of my neck, his kisses growing more intense with each passing moment. ★★★ 𝐀𝐕𝐀 ( 𝐍𝐎𝐇 𝐉𝐈𝐇𝐘𝐄) - After her fallout with her best friend, it seemed like her life had taken a turn for the worse.

Not only was she dealing life without her best friend by her side, but she was also struggling to cope with a recent and unexplained break-up, which made it difficult for her to move forward. Although her financial situation improved, her mental state definitely went downhill. Until...? 𝐊𝐘𝐀𝐍 -From dancer to fighter. Not only did he have to deal with the love of his life suddenly disappearing to another city, he also threw away his dancing career after falling for a scam involving his whole family. His stubborn mother offered no help, and although he hated to relive his past, he saw no other choice but to return to dancing. The stress was unbearable. Then, when he saw his best friend again, looking down at him with disgust and disappointment - thanks to Alex calling her at the wrong time - he came up with a deal that made him want to punch himself.
