"Katy, none of this seems right. It doesn't seem real."
"It takes some getting used to, Charlie."
"I don't know if I ever will be able to get used to it. Everything reminds me of her. Everywhere I look, everyone I see, everything I touch, the memories. I can't stop thinking, thinking if things were different, maybe she would still be here. With me, together."
"You loved-"
"Love"
"You love her. You will never be able to fully forget, Charlie. And no one is asking you too. The times you two had together are too great and memorable to not remember. But you do need to pull yourself together. It's not you, her and the kids anymore. It's you and the kids. They need you Charlie, your they're dad. You can not take anymore time away from that."
"I know. It's just, I can't get over the promise we made to each other. The one thing that kept us strong, happy, a family. Now I don't know if it's broken, or still there."
"What's the promise Charlie?"
"That we would always be together."

Those Perfect Flaws || ✓ || PUBLISHED
#1 in Teen Fiction Blaze Ryder is everything Alaska feared. He is eyes and embraces and fallings stars, chocolate and marshmallows, the fizz on soda on the tongue. He is wind and hands and lips on your hair; he is a hundred kisses to hide the bruises, the flowers of summer blooming together. Ink and paper, the smell of old books and cornered nooks. The teens standing together, so close that their shadows merge into one, and the blood dripping from her hands to the concrete floor. It's a chaotic love story, really. * * * "And you know, some people are good at love, and some of them are good at being in love. They are two different things. Being in love is the romantic part, sex all the time, midday naps in the sheets, the jokes, the laughs, the long conversations with no pauses, overwhelming thoughts, separation, and anxiety - just the best sides of two people. But love? Love begins when the excitement starts to fade away; the stress in life sets in, the sex becomes a chore; the tears, the sadness, the arguments come into the picture. The worst sides of these two people are shown. But you know, after all that, I would still want you in my life, and I know you would want me too. So I love you, and I'm not afraid of loving you," Alaska says into the phone, pouring her heart out.Complete
Nova's Universe
This story is a sequel to my first published Wattpad story: The Irreplaceable Charlie Weasley. Like Book One, this is a long one, spanning over 37 years of Charlie Weasley's life with my OC Nova Blackwood. It's everything I couldn't give them in Book One and more. The Irreplaceable Charlie Weasley was the story of how they got together. Nova's Universe is the rest of their lives. This story is a Family Sequel with more fluff than one can manage. The family living their best life with only ups and an occasional down to make it just a tad more realistic. Showing through chapters how they go about life, how they handle every curve life throws at them and most importatly: how they love each other. "I know I say this all the time, but you make me so incredibly happy." He pulled me into another hug, burying his head in my hair. "Thank you for making my dreams come true," I whispered against his chest. This story has 3 parts: Before. After. The Rest of Their Lives. I don't own some of the characters mentioned in the story which belong to JK Rowling.Complete
This Love: Spencer Reid
spencer, i'll remember how i'd loved you. even after i saw the hate behind your sweet eyes and messy statistics. even after i heard casually cruel words leave the same sugary lips that you used to plant soft kisses on my cheeks. even after i saw you kill right in front of me. the loss of your presence would still hurt the same. it probably wouldn't even matter what you did or didn't do because at night, i would still be crying into my pillow about everything that happened to you regardless. that's another thing that hurts so bad about this all. your loss. it's obvious, i know that. but i feel so alone. and you're actually gone this time.Complete
The Brightest Stars
We admire our work with quiet smiles. I do a small chuckle and finally let all these sad moments become into memories that are worth remembering. Even if it means that those I loved so much might fade away; they will never be forgotten. I promise myself to do this... "Promise me that we will always remember and never forget," Nate quietly says. "What if we do?" I whisper. "What if we let the night become darker than the stars?" Nate turns, and takes small steps towards me. My heart is like a magnet bringing him closer as I turn towards him. He does that look I fell in love with the day we met. He's inches apart now and I'm left breathless. His whisper is as quiet as the moonlight shining through the windows of the class as he says, "Then I will find you to remind you of us. I'll remind you that stars shine brighter in the darkest nights..."Complete
