Faded Memories
"He seemed like a puzzle to me, and I really liked solving puzzles. But somehow, I don't think that I would ever be able to solve this one." Amelia Heart, with her large smile and her infectious laugh, is what most people would think has the perfect life. They would watch as she went back to her beach house, as she went out of her way to stop and chat to her neighbours, as she would get the perfect grades. She was everything you wanted to be, and yet nobody had gotten close enough to her to understand her life in this small town at all. When her plans of leaving suddenly change, and she is forced to start attending the local school, her life takes a route that she hadn't accounted for. A new group of friends, a chance at a normal teenage life, even a potential love interest - things that Amelia had never even thought about happening after everything she'd been through. But happiness is only temporary in her life, and she knew that. It wasn't surprising to her when her past began to catch up with her present, it was simply a good thing that it had taken as long as it had. Things start happening in Amelia's life that simply don't make sense, even to her. They do say you should always keep an eye over your shoulder, especially when you know you're being hunted, but for Amelia, even an eye in every direction wouldn't be enough. Time begins counting down, fast. Did she want to involve her friends? Could the new people in her life be trusted? She wouldn't have long to make a decision. Not before her world comes blazing down, the final battle on the horizon. Tick, tock, Amelia. You don't want to be late to the party when you're the guest of honour.

Broken [ON HOLD]
My confidence dissipates. I watch as he takes in a sharp breath, his chocolate eyes darkening with desire. He drops his smoldering gaze to my lips which are parted in shock. I am being held hostage by the intensity of his eyes. "I'm very sexy..." he growls, his voice dangerously low. Time stops. We're the only two people left on earth. His plump, irresistible lips fill my line of vision. He releases a soft groan which would've gone unheard if we were a single inch father apart. I stare into the depths of his dark eyes and tentatively lick my lips before leaning in and... ~~~ Alex Clarke is a girl surviving her senior year of high school. From the outside, she is often seen as a outgoing girl with no more troubles than what to wear in the morning. On the inside she is a raging storm of pain, grief, insecurity, and anger.
