Because Nobody is better than Somebody, and Somebody makes her smile though lips painted red with lipstick she doesn't like, wear the black dress that is in the back of her closet for a reason, makes her labor over curling irons and hair for longer than she wants to - but Nobody lets her dance under night skies in the rain with streetlights instead of stars - and that is everything and nothing at all.
Oh, c'est la vie; such is life.
[or Evan remembers when Julie was seven instead of seventeen, when they didn't know the suburbs were where people watched life go by and where everyone talked but no one said anything, and he wishes the rain would last forever]
...
[basically just a short story about a boy in love with his childhood friend who has no idea; centered around one snapshot moment/an epiphany]

The Bad Boy Saved Me
Do you ever wonder what life would be like if it were a movie? Or some sappy romance novel that you wish your life could be like but it's not? Sometimes you may even get to caught up in the fictional world that you don't realise it IS fictional. Then when you do realise life isn't what you convinced yourself it would be, there is only one possible outcome. Depression. Which may lead to anxiety, self-harm, low self esteem, and worst of all, losing the people you love. Life works in weird ways. Not just for you but for others too. Take Cassidy Rivers for example. Her life is far from perfect. No parents, over protective big brother, few friends, and Asher Norman, the bad boy who won't stop picking on her. Could life get any worse for Cassidy?Concluida
I Told the Stars about You
Best friend's brother kinda romance... But without the clichè. "Being with Rose is like talking to the ocean. To the sky. To the stars and the moon and forming constellations in her eyes" A pause. The world seems frozen in this moment, in this smile forming on my lips "It's hearing her voice and it holding secrets I didn't know I needed to hear. It's hearing her heartbeat in the silence and knowing; I'm not alone" *** Asher has lost the one person that understood him better than anyone else. He thinks the darkness will follow him forever, but when he meets Rose, all he sees is light. He laughs. And for him, that's enough. That's more than enough. Rose isn't afraid of death. She lives her life like she could die any second. It's the only choice she believes she has in a world where everyone takes hers away. But when she's with Asher, she's afraid like she's never been afraid before. She feels like she could choose to set fire to the world and he would light the match. She feels like she could smile and he'd give her the world. That's what scares her the most. That he makes her want to live.Concluida

He hugged her more tightly feeling nervous about what he was about to say next. "If we divorce now.. will I stop being a burden?"

I don't know you anymore
Primrose was raised to be a perfect little girl her whole life, at a young age she was raised to perfection, kitten heels, dresses and manners of a lady. She met a boy named Xavier in preschool, a skinny little boy with glasses, she grew fond of the funny little boy and they became good friends despite his family being short of money. When Primrose was 8 and Xavier was 9 years old Xavier's Fathers business hit the jackpot and went sky high making them one of the richest families in the country. He moved away leaving primrose in her perfectly controlled life. Years passed, Xavier changed in every way possible, he got contact lenses and his hair grew darker with age and he was toned and covered in tattoos. He was unrecognisable. Primrose however hadn't changed one bit, she had light blonde hair with soft curls and bright green eyes. She still wore perfect prim dresses and kitten heels and held herself like a lady and was kind to everyone even the worst of people. When Xavier returned to his home town at 19 he recognised primrose who is now 18. However she didn't recognise him. (TW: I have made this story mature for very small reasons such as how her father treats her and her mother and it may be upsetting to some so please be mindful of this when reading the story. There is also bullying and controlling behaviour mentioned. Otherwise it's pretty PG within the book)

His Little; My Kitten | Completed
Allison "Allie" Heart is twenty-five and has a really good relationship with her parents and friends. Though her body is a little different and she has some mental things to overcome, she's overall a happy little. Yes, Allie is a little. She's never found "the one" to be her daddy dominant. Well, that was until the night of a storm when she reunited with a childhood friend and meets someone who absolutely adores/cherishes her. However, there are more twists and turns than Allie expected to the relationship, although none were bad. But the guy she adores seems to be hiding something that tears him up inside (or used to before Allie came into his life). What's he hiding? And is it as terrible as it seemed to be, or is he just simply blaming himself needlessly? And when an old tormentor comes to town, can Allie overcome her past? __________________ WARNINGS: Straight romance (manxwoman) Intersexual female (male and female genitalia) 18+ Smut Daddy Dom/Little Girl (DDLG) Mommy Dom/Little Girl (MDLG) Caretaking Gay characters Childhood bully trauma Good warnings: Fluff and cuteness (lots) Good friendships and family Therapy __________________ This story will have gay characters in it, so if you don't like that, please don't read.
