One second I'm sleeping, in the next instant I'm running down the hall searching for safety. 
 
     It's honestly unbelievable how everything can turn in a seconds time, one second in our mortal lives leaves an invisible tally, no matter how much we waste away some seconds and minutes stick longer than we wish them to. 

     Three years later and still those few seconds, eat away at the perfect life I display.

A drunk SOS text from Leo at a party, and a night eating pancakes together, there's no going back. Especially after they make a secret pact to have the other's back when they need it most. But understanding how important their friendship is to both of them, how long can they avoid addressing their true feelings? And how long can they truly keep everything a secret from everyone else around them?

When Perfect Meets Crazy by Sunmeee

"I would scream but I have a headache from crying my eyes out in the bathroom. You have twenty seconds to explain why you broke into my house before I expose you to the wrath of my mother," I divulged, taking a seat at my dresser. "And trust me, she's scarier than any police out there." "You find a complete stranger you know is trained to take down men twice your size in your bed and that's the reaction you're going with?" he asked. My eyes met his through the mirror of the dresser. "Twelve seconds." • • • If Avyanna was asked to describe herself in two words, she'd laugh and say she only needed one; perfect. She was the perfect child with no bad records whatsoever until Ian followed her home from an illegal fighting ring, climbed in her window and insinuated himself into her life. Icing on the cake, he just so happened to be an actual criminal. Oh, and did she mention her dad was a cop? Needless to say, she was going to kill Olly for making her go to the fighting ring to begin with.

To those who dream with open eyes and hearts by Darkinnocence8

Every girl desires three things in her life: a loyal best friend, top-tier grades, and a flawless romance However, fate loves to throw unexpected curves. Instead of a tragic tale, I simply craved a sweet fairytale with a happily ever after. In the aftermath of Audrey's death. Life became a series of storms. I encountered new faces, weathered the challenges, and even found myself a wonderful boyfriend. Yet, just when the warmth of happiness touched my fingertips, the storyline unexpectedly shifted, revealing another layer of complexity. Dating the most popular guy from school feels like a dream fulfilled, but am I truly happy? I always believed I was the good girl with good grades, only to unveil buried desires-longings to be chased, tamed, and tied Entwined in a world where light dances with darkness, and villains lurk in the shadows. A single doubt, and I've sabotaged my fate with my own hands. The desires I once craved in the shadows have become dangerous-risks of my own creation. Now, dreaming is no longer an option; all I can do is run. In the twisted dance of fate, I never planned to entangle with a psychopath. No girl dreams of such darkness, yet our meeting felt like a forbidden ritual, and every touch, a dangerous spell. His winter-grey eyes held a mysterious allure that captivated me, but little did I know, staring into them would unleash a storm of trouble. Now, I'm pursued by a relentless predator who sees me as his lost love, a perilous game where escape seems impossible. Stuck in his tight grasp, there's no getting away from Carson Winter Grey. Hiding is useless; he's like a really creepy guy-obsessed, toxic, and great at messing with your head. You can't shake off his looming threat. He's not just a bad dream; he's the kind that sticks around. Before anxiety takes over, his name becomes the scream you can't hold back.

Thirteen Reasons Why by hankayei

"David? Pookie? Your name does not belong on this list. But you need to be here if I'm going to tell my story. If I'm going to explain why I did what I did. Because you aren't every other guy - you're different. You're good. And kind. And decent. And I didn't deserve to be with someone like you. I never did. I've ruined you. It was me and everything that's happened to me." When I heard this my feet fell from underneath me and I laid in the drive way lifeless. *WARNING: Mature themes such as self harm, depression, suicide, heart break, fake friends, rape and several other mature themes are mentioned through out the story*

With the two already teetering on the brink of mutually assured destruction, oil splashes onto the flames when Daya resumes her never-ending quest for skating triumph at Canadian Nationals.

After that... well after that she's not even going to be alive. Tyson had it all, the popularity, the looks, the money, everything. And he never missed a chance to flaunt his supposed perfection.
