♤VOL 1: Book III in the FORBIDDEN series♤
♠♤
"Have you ever been in love?"
I didn't know what to say to that. My skin heated with an embarrassed, uncomfortable blush that even attacked my skull.
I should've been more prepared for the question, I guess. Still, it felt like a punch in the gut.
Who says I'm not, is what I wanted to say-it's the worse thing I could possibly say. The worst thing to admit to myself now.
"By that look," she gestured to my face, sitting back in her chair, "I'd say you have."
♠♤
He hadn't been prepared for the past year.
In the beginning, he only saw it as his first and last year of freedom.
He dropped out of honors classes and quit the track team to focus on more academic studies and getting into college.
A girl hadn't been in his plans.
Heartbreak hadn't either.
But it happened anyway because life could be a bitch like that.
And now he had to start college and a new life with the pain and memories burning in the back of his head and chest for however long it took to be okay after a heart had been broken.
He'd been denying the one thing everyone's been throwing at him; 'college will change you'.
And now he's seeing that there was a chance he would change. But it wouldn't be because of college.

The Popular Girl
Looking at him from across the cafeteria my heart just stops. He bites his lower lip slightly as he reads the following words off of his new book, adjusting his hair from time to time. How can someone you've spent all of high school trying to forget still be the one to hold your heart?.. Stop staring! I look away and my eyes focus on something else... He's still the one I love. After all this time. I can't change that.. But he hates you. I wince at the thoughts coursing through me. You don't know that for sure.. Oh who am I kidding? Of course he hates me. If I was him I'd hate me too. A frown makes its way onto my face. Maybe just one more peek.. I glance back at him only to see his blue eyes no longer on the pages of his book but on me. We lock eyes and everything else disappears for a moment. My brown ones widen in shock. Shit! I try to look away but my eyes stay focused on him, and only him. ..Then something amazing happens.. He smiles. *currently editing some chapters* (This is sort of like the prologue. It is not in the book though. I wrote this so that you all can read it and see what's in store for this book. And I suck at descriptions so this is all I could think of. Also I curse a lot so yeah) (#14 in teen fiction)Complete
Worth the Risk
August & Colin | WRU series | book 1 We take risks. We make mistakes. We lie. We love. We hurt. We lose total control. I took a risk. I paid the price. I made a mistake. I felt the guilt. I lied. I lie. I loved. I try not to. I hurt. I still do. I lost control. I'm losing again. I try to stick to my plan, I try to follow my rules, I try to silence my heart, I try to keep control of the domino stones that represent my life. But one domino fell and the rest just followed. *** "We shouldn't do this," he whispers against my lips. I should applaud him for having the strength to act on that thought because I haven't been able to. At one point I wanted to, but his touches made the impulse to stop vanish. Now, the only thing I want to act on is the longing inside my chest as I think about demolishing the space between us. "Do you want to stop?" I can feel his frown against my forehead. He nudges my nose before placing a featherlight kiss on my mouth. His hands slide over my jawline, his thumbs slowly caressing my cheeks. He gives me another kiss. Slow and deliberately, as if he's still debating the answer to my question as he slicks his tongue over mine. He softly sucks on my bottom lip, dragging it with him when he pulls away. "I can't," he confesses before he presses his lips back on mine. *** All Rights Reserved (Do not copy this story, thank you :))Complete

Meet Me After Class
So who will it be for this hopelessly unromantic girl? The brooding best friend? Or the young and unquestionably attractive substitute teacher? They say every person is worth the potential heartbreak of relationships not working out. That's why people still take that leap. But not me. Never been kissed, never had a boyfriend-I was pretty convinced by now that I was one of those mega-rare exceptions to the rule; the unlucky sap was just not worth the risk.

You'll get your love story...just not at all how you wanted it." Before I know it, I'm swept up in romantic turmoil more dramatic than anything my wildest playwright fantasies could dream up. Getting these very real, very adult feelings for the first time is bloomin' confusing. Lines will blur, tough choices will be made, and hearts will be deliciously broken. So who will it be for this once-hopelessly unromantic girl? My brooding best friend? Or my young substitute teacher?Complete
Sans Cesse
"I don't know if I loved him or survived him. Maybe it's the same thing" He set fire to the world but never let a flame touch her. Aria is an English philosophy student chasing reinvention in Paris; a city romanticised by poets, but cruel to the lonely. Behind her sharp tongue and steady stare, is a woman shaped by absence and aching for intensity, connection, purpose. Tired of running, but terrified of staying still. She tells herself she's cold. She tells herself she's untouchable. Harrison is brilliant, sharp, unknowable. The kind of man who disappears mid-sentence, who walks like he's carrying sins he'll never confess. You don't fall in love with Harrison, you fall into him. With a past soaked in violence and a heart barricaded by guilt, he lives in exile from the world, and from himself. The last thing he ever wanted was to be seen. Drawn together by fate, or fatal flaw, they orbit one another like lit matches and gasoline. It isn't love, not yet. It's something more dangerous: recognition. And when the flame becomes a fire, who will get burnt? This isn't their story, it's yours. You've been here, haven't you? Where love feels like war, and silence is a kind of violence. Where you knew it would break you, and you still begged for more. Read on, if you're brave enough to feel yourself burn.
Forbidden Attraction (Book 1)✔
♠VOL 1: Book I in the FORBIDDEN series♠ ♤♠ "I don't date," I told him with a smile. "Why not?" He was smiling back as if what I was saying was the most interesting thing ever. I honestly don't know why we're talking about this. I shook my head. "Because I'm not allowed maybe?" I shrugged. "I don't have time for that anyway." I started writing again. "Well that's something you don't hear every day," he teased and I shook my head again, suppressing a smile. ♠♤ She's seen him around plenty of times. He never sees her.

Riley and Devin
"How many romance books do you read?" Devin asks me. I shrug. "I like them," I say. I keep browsing, running my fingers along the spines. "So, you like romance then?" he asks me. I nod. "What's your favorite part of a love story?" "I like the very first kiss, but I like the second one even more," I say. I bite my lip and look at him. Oh. My. God. What the hell am I doing? Am I flirting? I think that I'm actually flirting. With Devin. Devin, my best friend. I have officially lost my mind. I should probably stop. But I can't seem to. "Will you grab me that one?" I ask. I point above my head, my back's pressed against the bookcase. He locks his gaze on mine and reaches over me to grab the book I asked for. "Thanks." I don't move and neither does he. Riley and Devin have been best friends forever-since Kindergarten. It's Senior year of high school, now. And it's always been simple, Riley's got his back, he's got hers.

Even if it tears her to pieces or even if it destroys their friendship. Pretty soon Riley is going to have to choose between walking the safe line of friendship or taking the unpaved path of love. Will she risk everything for love?Complete
When It Mattered ✔️
"I don't know, Gracie. That's the point. I don't know why I'm willing to feel how much you broke my f*cking heart every minute we're together just so I can be with you. It's not logical. But I am. I would sit through a hundred of these horrible drives just to be with you." .................. Once a heart has been broken, can it ever really heal? G + E = Forever But then Gracie Allen had her heart crushed and Ethan Bennett had his shattered. G + E = Forever For Never After one fluke letter being published in a magazine about said heartbreak, coincidentally the heartbreaker himself comes back. But is it a mere coincidence? Could it be fates way of telling Gracie that, maybe, not all heartbreaks are permanent. And maybe love, however wrong it feels to your brain, isn't logical. It's chemical. With words left unsaid, secrets untold, and a popular weekly column of anonymous crap advice written by a hypocrite, can one university student rise to the challenge that Ethan holds, or will she fall away into dust from all that used to be? It might take one hell of a bridge to build, but when love is waiting on the other side, maybe it's worth it to try. .................. Okay, so a few words before you get into this. I DON'T have anything planned out. It's kinda just coming to me as I write. I have no idea what's going to happen. All I know is that I was in a lovey-dovey mood and wanted to write gushyness and awesomeness. So here is my attempt at that. AGAIN THIS IS NOT PLANNED AND SOME SHIT MIGHT HAVE NO REASON BEING IN IT BY THE TIME ITS FINISHED. But I hope you enjoy it! Started March 14th, 2016! Finished March 21st, 2016! (A FREAKING WEEK. WHAT.)Complete
