His lips are dominating my own, as his hands travel down my back, and he tugs on my shirt, to release it from my skirt. His hands then caresses my bare skin for a few minutes, before he sits up. He brings me with him, and I'm now straddling his lap. His eyes are filled with lust, and I'm so damn scared, for completely different reasons than earlier tonight. His skillful fingers finds the buttons of my shirt, and he opens them slowly, while I lean back down towards him, to make our lips connect again. I might come to my senses if he doesn't keep kissing me. He tugs the shirt off of me, and his hands run across my bare stomach. He stops, suddenly, and I feel a sharp sting under my left boob. "What happened? Are you..." He trails off, as he looks down at my body, and I stiffen. Holy shit, I forgot all about that. "Ives... What is this?" he asks, and he pulls his hands away from me. 🌹 Ives has just moved away from her overprotective brother and their alcoholic dad to go to college.

Before It Ends • Hessa • Emery Scott
This is a Hardin x Tessa fan fiction, although focuses mostly on their daughter Emery Scott. Finished writing: March 25, 2021. Posting schedule: Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. It is written in first person, present tense, and has many point of views such as, Hardin, Tessa, Emery, and a few others. Warnings! This has mentions of abuse, sexual abuse, and sexual behavior. Small preview: "No! You're being crazy, Hardin!" I chuckle lightly at the fact they don't know we can hear them. Auden probably can't because he goes to bed at fucking 7:30! Who does that? My parents have a rule to not yell in front of the kids, little do they know that these walls are thin and I can hear them in their room. Surprisingly, I have only heard angry shouts coming from their room, no moans or banging. I'm surprised they have kept their fucking volume down though. I scoff at my disgusting thoughts, and shake them away. They don't fight often though. But recently they have. About me, of course. Mom feels like dad defends her too much during our fights or some shit. I don't know. She probably should be happy he's defending her, because if he wasn't here I wouldn't be living in this house. I would've ran away a long time ago. She's just so controlling and naive. It annoys the shit out of me. Thank god she doesn't know about my late night drinking and partying, because that would only make her cry. I really hope dad doesn't tell her. I can't do one thing without the fear of her judging me, or wanting to change me. Dad is different, because he actually is like me. He understands me. If I am really being honest, I'm afraid of mom knowing the real me, for fear she'll hate me just as much as I do myself. • • If you like Twenty One Pilots check out my other books, Completed books: Tyler Joseph Imagines We're Human. • Jyler • We'll Pee When We Get To Europe (•Twenty One Pilots•FanFiction•) Alive | ør | Asleep.

The boy who hurt me first
Tessa Young is everything an eighteen-year-old girl is supposed to be-brilliant, driven, ambitious enough to dream of a university far away from the town that feels too small for her thoughts. She loves quiet, books, and the feeling of being in control of her future. But there is one thing she can't control. Hardin Scott. The boy she built sandcastles with at the beach. The boy who held her hand on her first day of school. The boy who once swore he would never hurt her. That same boy is now the reason she wakes up with fear in her chest every morning. Ever since his mother died, Hardin has been shattered-hard, distant, angry-and Tessa has become the perfect target for a storm he can't understand or contain. The words that once brought her safety now cut like blades. The eyes that once held warmth are now colder than steel. Everyone sees Hardin as the boy who smokes, drinks, fights, and fears nothing. But Tessa sees something else. A pain no one recognizes. A void that never found words. And a past that tied them together-only to rip them apart. But feelings don't listen to logic. And Tessa, against every principle she lives by, falls for the boy who hurts her every single day. She hates herself for it. She doesn't understand it. But every time Hardin shoves her into the lockers, she sees the same flash of the boy who used to catch her when she fell. And every time he insults her, something in his eyes breaks with her. When Tessa's feelings can no longer stay hidden-when her heart finally speaks louder than her fear-Hardin is forced to face a choice he's never had the courage to make: Will he become the boy who once protected her... or remain the boy who pushes her away to avoid losing himself? And the question that could destroy them both: Can love grow out of pain- or will it be the final crack that breaks them for good? ~~~~~~~ Currently rewritingComplete
