Behind Our Masks

I want to hold your hand, even though the thorns remain in mine
I can't show you a ruined part of myself so once again I put on a mask
A rose that bloomed in a garden of pain, slowly developed walls of thorns to protect itself
A flower that reminds me of the one I see behind the mask
And I know I can't hide because I'm a monster, and I'm afraid
I'm so afraid that you will leave me once you find out
The only thing I want to do is to bloom a flower that resembles you
But I can't without destroying it

Wretched Roses √
She gazed into her dark brown eyes with lust and pain. A rose as red as her tainted lips she'd put behind her ear, still holding it there, never wanting to let go. She put her forehead against hers as she whispered "You're just like a rose, beautiful but when you come too close you sting, not wanting others to see the pain behind your beauty. But you know what, I'm not scared, I won't give up on you no matter how much you make me bleed." She looked deep in thought, biting her lip and raising one of her eyebrows, and finally, she pressed her tainted lips against hers, letting their lips collide. They knew, that now, they would forever crave each others touch, they were in too deep. They'd fallen too hard. Never did they expect that their story wouldn't end there, and that years later they would be telling this exact story to none other than their own kids.

A/N: This story was written by me when I was twelve, and the quality certainly reflects that XD It's not a particularly good story, although feel free to read for the sake of cringe! EX-1220059: EX-1220059 celebrated her 4th birthday by having her mother abandon her and getting put in her fathers custody. She turned 6 and then was immediately put into an experiment. The experiment to create superhumans. She goes through life watching the humans as they lived from the glass of her little tube. She never thought there was anyway out of the thing and grew to love it. But only while comatose. Whenever she was awake, the world was an uncontrollable agony. What happens when she gets yanked out and has to deal with the horrific reality of what's happened to her? EX-220169 (Flower White): She was on the good end of the experimentation. Only being called once a month to get injected with some odd stuff. Other than those monthly visits, and some superhuman capabilities, she was a normal girl. She lived with her loving parents and had friends, she went to school and played games with her friends. She had no idea what the bad end of the experiments were like. But when she finds out about the experiments done on EX-1220059 she makes a choice that turns the world upside down for both her and EX-1220059.Complete
Unmasking Admirer
Book I of II I'm 17 year's old living in the city, where crime never sleep's. Probably wondering how I mange, I do too. But trust me I've had my fair share of run-ins with assholes, but I've learned to grow a thick skin. I rarely let people in besides my best friend, Chris. We've known each other since we were in diapers. We know everything about each other, but what he doesn't know is that I might be in love with him. And I say 'i might' because I really don't know what I'm feeling. Like cmon, he's my best friend hella cliche right. So yeah, only time will tell, what the hell I'm feeling. "Listen, guys, I just wanna get home." One of the guys tried to grab my bag but I pulled back and held it tight. "Don't we all, little lady." Did he? Oh hell no. I was about to say something, then one of them pulled out something shiny. "I really don't want, any trouble tonight." One of them lunged at me, but then out of nowhere. Someone came literally, falling from the sky. It was a girl, and she was dressed in all black. And she wore a mask, so I couldn't see her face. She turned to me and said. "RUN!" A/N: Helloo my reader, I wanna thank you for taking the time to read my book. I really appreciate it, be free to ask me anything. By messaging me or commenting whatever makes you comfortable. Any feedback is good feedback. And I'll try my best to update daily.Complete

"I love you." He whispered in my ear and gently kissed my shoulder blade. After kissing my neck thoroughly, he brought his lips back to mine. He gently bit the corner of my lips and swooped his tongue over it, soothingly. His hands working behind me, as he slowly unzipped my dress and I started unbuttoning his shirt. He pressed his lower body to mine, making me aware of his arousal. Soon, we were under the sheets, naked. Making love to each other, over and over again. . . . . And it was the moon, that witnessed us, entangled in limbs. 🌟 3rd rank ~ #Novela (06 Jan 2021) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 【 18+ warning. Mature content】 {Suitable audience recommend] This is more of a character building novel♥️ With a lot of romance & some triggering events.

"I would prefer not to hurt you, but I will if I need to." They said. I felt cold metal on my neck moving lightly against my skin.
