I was all set to leave in my black skinny ripped jeans and sage green hoodie, to get high and forget all of my haunting memories from the past. Memories of bitter cries and words that can't be taken back.
Arlo will be right down to stop me from going to the bar but, what does he know about my pain and toxic thoughts.
I ignore him as usual and opened the black stained oak door. To my surprise, she is standing in front of me, her blue eyes locked with mine, her fair skin, blonde hair, she still looks so pretty. I can feel my pounding heart, time seems paralyzed and the air cold. She stands before looking at me, it feels like just yesterday that she had left.

"You know," Sage murmurs against my neck, his voice a little bashful, "my sister says hugs are the fastest way to make someone feel better." I let out a huff of breath and open my mouth to respond. But before I can reply, he adds softly. "You're one of the most amazing people I know. And no one, absolutely no one, should ever make you feel otherwise." I let my eyes close for a second, letting that settle in a place I didn't even realise had been empty. "Okay," I say quietly, pulling back just enough to see his face and then sinking deeper into his warmth, my hands curling into his jacket, clutching like I'm afraid he'll vanish if I let go. ────── ✦ She wasn't looking for love, just a little peace.

They heal. ✦ ────── If you are a reader like me, someone who loves comfort books, pure love stories, and heathy relationships that feel real and safe then maybe this book is just perfect for you 🍂
Learning to Live
Screw it. I picked up the bottle of whiskey and cashed it. I got into my car and drove until I saw a bridge. I look down at the ocean crashing below. My heart started racing, so I took a deep breath and I sat on the railing. I began to gaze at the full moon. A cold gust of wind blew across my face and made goosebumps form on my forearms. I finally felt at peace, calm and free but the sound of a speeding car behind me jolted me back to reality. Then the events of my stressfuful day rushed on me like a whirl wind and I wanted it all to be over...Complete
Mornings at Duke's (GirlxGirl)
•2• She was now standing up, her face in visiable horror. She slowly touched her lips and frowned a little. I got up but Em took a few steps back like I was a fatal disease. I don't want to lie, it hurt, so much. But then I took a few steps more as she took timid ones back. "Em-" "No." She stopped and closed her eyes tightly. It was as if I could see the uncomfortable aurora she radiated. "This never happened, forget about it." I gulped in agony and shook my head as she looked at me confused. I then cautiously took few steps towards her and stopped right in front of her. "What if I don't want to forget?" •Sometimes the best love is the love that was always there.

The Idea Of You
"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.

Yours, still.
They weren't supposed to meet like this- on a swing, in a park, between coffee jitters and emotional damage. She wore a hoodie. He wore a smile that forgot things. And somewhere between the jokes, the near-death rescue, and the carved arrow... their story started telling itself again. Not everything was clear. Not every memory returned. But hearts? They tend to recognize each other- even when the brain hasn't caught up yet. And if an arrow appears- carved in wood, buried in stone- you follow it. Even if it leads straight back into the chaos.
A Poet's Secret
Being in love with your best friend isn't the ideal life situation but for Zora, it's her only life situation. Secretly harboring her feelings for her best friend, Sierra, Zora pours her emotions into her journal in the form of poetry. After years of keeping her attraction for her friend at bay and trying to deny her feelings by forcing herself to love a boy who unconditionally loves her, Zora's favorite emotional outlet becomes the cause of her life falling apart as the truth finally comes out. ***** It was happening again. It was dark, sunset, I waited for her to be done with volleyball practice 'because she was my ride'. Somehow we wandered from the gym to the football field and we were sitting at the very top of the bleachers staring at each other. Her dark hair mirrored the direction of the wind, the setting sun being replaced by the brightness of her smile. We were sitting so close I could feel her warmth. It was an unusual situation. Friends don't do this. We held eye contact for a long time before I couldn't take it anymore and just closed my eyes. It wasn't real, she was just my friend. Then, I felt her tuck a strand of my curly hair behind my ear. That with the chill of the night sent shivers down my spine and a swarm of butterflies attacked my stomach. I reopened my eyes. If she didn't want me, why did she look at me that way? I held her hand and I held it for so long because I didn't know if we'd have another moment like this. We talk and laugh and she tells me I'm pretty and I ask her if she'd just noticed that and we laugh again. I realize the feelings I felt in that moment were not just the intense feelings of attraction that I felt every time I was with her. Warmth flooded to my face and if it wasn't for my dark complexion, my blush would be noticeable. I look into her dark-colored eyes and I come to the conclusion that I'm royally fucked and I'm probably also in love.Complete
In Love With Blindfolds On
I gave the best of myself to someone who didn't have anything to lose. I didn't know how to avoid my lover's toxic and abusive flames. My lover's twisted words were like a maze inside of my head that I couldn't escape. Sadly, my lover's actions hypnotized my thoughts and paralyzed my thinking. I learned the hard way that love isn't leaning in for a kiss, and a fist meets you halfway. Love isn't being a punching bag because someone decided they wanted to beat on you today. Love isn't saying I love you just because someone wants to keep you to themselves. I tried to be there for my lover, but I learned it is impossible to fix the broken pieces when the glass has shattered. There will always be pieces that are not repairable. However, I kept going right back to the person who I needed to walk away from. I was afraid, and I wasn't brave enough to wake up from this nightmare! I made the choice to suffer when life is meant to be lived and enjoyed. Will I find the courage to know my worth and know that I deserve better than the distasteful lies that are whispered in my ears? Will I have the strength to fight my insecurities? Will, I set myself free, or will I let my love be the death of me?Complete
