"Mi... Michael! No, this isn't right. Go away," she said, shaking her head.
But Michael continued to move closer, caging her between the wall and his body.
"Mich..." Rose tried to protest, but Michael gently pressed a finger to her lips, silencing her.
"Don't talk. Stay still," he commanded, holding both of her wrists.
"P-please." Rose managed to say and the next moment her eyes widened when his lips touched the crook of her neck.

Away From The Light. (English version)
Rose never had a normal life, but at least she had her father. Or so she thought. When he dies from an illness he kept hidden from her, Rose finds herself alone until she's forced to move in with her brother, Damon. A brother she barely knew... and who lives in a dark, dangerous world full of secrets. Her father never wanted her to be like him. He told her again and again: "Don't you become like him." But he never explained why. He avoided him, loathed him... and yet Rose could see that somewhere deep inside him there was pain. Pain for the son he had lost, perhaps not physically, but spiritually. Now, living alongside Damon, Rose begins to understand. The gang. The violence. The silence. And among them... Raven. Damon's best friend. Cold. Unapproachable. And dangerously charming. Rose knows she shouldn't get close to him. But she can't avoid him. As the lines blur and the wounds of the past bleed, Rose will be forced to choose: trust or survival? Love or freedom? And, ultimately, if the light isn't waiting for her at the end... is she ready?
SHE WOULD NEVER KNOW.
Two truths, one lie. Two people, one lie. Your job? Find the liar and hunt them down. Your reward? Maybe you will get to live, but a happy ending isn't guaranteed. Sounds simple, right? Until it isn't. What if you fall in love in this game of survival? Well, then, congratulations. You just made this game even harder. ──★ "I loved you." I said while my voice broke a little, my gaze still fixated on his eyes. "And now?" He asked, his eyes turning red as if he was trying to hold back his tears. "I don't." ──★ Love does make people the best version of themselves, but what if that same love pulls you so down that you never find the courage to get up again?
Can't Stay Away
People say when you love something, it's hard to stay away no matter what; it could be a deadly disease and you still won't be able to stay away. From two different worlds but two sides of the same coin. It's almost like you're within reaching distance from them but yet you aren't allowed to touch them, embrace them, love them, have them. You could only admire them and dream of them. Ophelia Danvers comes from a rich and snobbish family. One that looks down on people even if their filthy rich like them. But she isn't like them at all. Non-judgmental and kind until pushed and not to mention that she's a hopeless romantic. Like every queen, they need to find their king but what if her king isn't the fortunate type? Trevor King, cold and stone hearted punk from other side of the tracks, is a student at Lakeford high. You could say he's a bad boy, delinquent, even lawless thug and that's true but there's more to him. Only his mother sees it. He isn't a player and shows no interest in dating; all girls are the same to him, that is until he meets Ophelia. Will he be able to keep his cold act up or will he finally be thawed?

"Why would it hurt you to touch me?" I asked him a little scared. "Because I know that when we are alone I can do it, but as soon as we appear in the light of the world, it becomes forbidden for me. And looking at someone who is forbidden to you without being able to touch them, hurts like hell."Complete
