Pain- A four letter word we aren't always strong enough to hear. It's the only thing stronger than hope and more hurtful than physical injury. When pain rages, even numbness can't calm it down. 

It's the moment when you feel a pang in your chest and your heart drops to your stomach; like when the cab driver hits the brakes without warning or when you look into the eyes of someone you love and they look away. 

Pain is ignoring that lump in your throat and trying to move on. Pain is when you feel a stab in your heart and instinctively check to see if you are bleeding on the outside. 

Ashley McAllen is a teenage girl who is intimate with the word Pain. It is a four letter word that doesn't erase itself from the page, if you just ignore it. Nor did it write itself there for no reason. She learns from both, the bitter experience and happy moments, that Pain demands to be felt.

There's a difference between being alone and lonely. ~~~~~~ "Why does love hurt? "Because......if it doesn't hurt then it isn't love." I replied. ~~~~~ Eugene Hansen - He is rich and has everything one could wish for life; name, fame, money, and good looks except for that one thing he craves the most: LOVE.

Abigail Devon - She is not rich. She doesn't live a lavish lifestyle. For her life has always been hard and full of struggle. But, she never shows it on her face.

They are poles apart but when they come to stand face-to-face, their life takes a complete 360. They don't have anything in common; from their social status to their behavior, they are the perfect example of the word 'Opposite'. Despite that fact, there is one thing that's common between them: They both have lost their loved ones. Will this one common fact bring them closer or will it separate them forever? Join Abigail and Eugene on their journey to find true love through a path that contains a lot of fun, fights, a lifetime friendships, hardships, hatred, but most of all - love and hurt because of which they cannot help but say "Sorry, I Love You."

"I want a divorce." And just hearing him say that my whole world that seemed to revolve around him stopped. Gathering myself I barely managed to speak in a voice that even I could not recognise. I couldn't comprehend anything going around me. "Wh..hy?" As soon as the words left my mouth he threw the file and the photographs spread across the floor. And those photographs had me in compromising positions with not one but several men. Looking at those photos I looked straight into his eyes. Disgust and hatred. The only emotions I could see. Taking a deep breath I composed myself and tried to keep my face void of the emotions I felt at that moment. Hurt and immense pain. If he didn't trust me then he has no right to see me vulnerable too. "Is this the only reason why you want to divorce me? No other except this?" It was foolish of me to ask him but I had to make sure. Also for me trust comes before love. If he doesn't trust me I don't even want to save the relationship. "Is this not enough you whore? What else can I expect from a slut and a gold digger like you! I knew it from the start that all you showed was just a facade. Your innocence, kindness, it was all fake. I just don't believe how can I be so dumb." Was I hurt? No I was broken beyond repair. My heart ached. I felt like I was seconds away from collapsing. I had far exceeded the limit of hurt and pain. I was so powerless in that moment that I couldn't even fight with him. Love makes you strong. I have heard and felt that countless times but they always forget to mention what comes after that. Love makes you weak too. I couldn't shout at him because I loved him. But I had to be brave. For myself. ************************************************** Is love enough for two people to be together or is there something more important than love? This is story of Xander and Sophie who loved each other but still couldn't be together. Because more important than love is trust. © All rights reserved

And all the attention of any girl he could ever want. But his life is utterly miserable. He's had two of the most important people in his life ripped away from at too young of an age. He chooses to numb his pain with alcohol and drugs. The weak man's way out. He built a wall around his heart, and he won't let anyone in. When Ashlyn and Caiden cross paths one night, Caiden finds himself -much to his dismay- opening up to her. And Ashlyn finds herself willing listen to anything he has to say, and trying to help him out of his dark place. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We both smiled at each other, our bodies pressed together. Our fingers intertwined. He leaned over me as I stood up on my tip-toes. Our lips pressed together, and I immediately felt the goose bumps. My knees were weak, and butterflies flew in my stomach. I dropped my hands from his and pushed them through his thick, soft hair. He pulled me tighter up against him, like he couldn't get enough. Every part of me wanted to hold on to him, and never let go. I would never, ever get used to this feeling. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Highest Rankings: #1 in Hookups #1 in Players #1 Numbness
