"Who broke your heart so bad, to make you feel this way?", he asked. I laughed, "No one broke my heart, they couldn't have it in the first place". "And why is that?", he asked moving closer. "They'd have to cut open my chest and bang it with a hammer pretty hard, if they wanted to break my heart", I said, standing up, and walking away.

Beth Lawrence wasn't a cynic. She wasn't a pessimist, or a defeatist. She was confused. She was confused of why she was confused, concludingly making her even more confused.

Beth's world of confusion and negativity excited Adam Finn. Not because he agreed with her, but because he'd managed to even spark a conversation with her in the first place. If anything, Beth's confusion confused Adam the most.All Rights Reserved

Sentiments by rororowyoboat

One day she was your typical girl- popular with a reasonably good social life and loads of friends. The next day.. she was all alone. And she had never felt this alone before. Suddenly she had no friends at all. Maybe that's when her feelings faded. She turned more or less into a machine. Flash forward to when Ethan Smith- one of the jocks with a 'reasonably good' social life thinks Grace wants to die when she's dangling off the roof. She lets him in. After such a long time she finally let someone in- because he's too persistent and stubborn not to have let himself in. Will he be the one that will make Grace feel again? Will Grace find what she's been unconsciously searching for her entire life- peace? ...... Ethan didn't know he was hurting until he met her, until he talked to her. He chased after her, for a friendship, wanting to heal her, but she might be his cure.

I nodded before leaping in his arms, hugging him.

Childhood Sweethearts by LaurenJ22

#1 Teen Fiction | #1 Young Adult | #1 Romance "We all need someone to drive us mad." - The Wombats. He stared arrogantly down at me, a smirk plastered across his face. I sneered up at him with distaste, wanting to wrap my fingers around his neck and strangle that smirk off of him. He brushed my golden hair from my face, his long, slender fingers sparking electricity in my skin, making my knees wobble together. "Will you ever, forgive me?" he whispered huskily, his eyes intently staring into mine. His face was only mere inches from me. I just needed to reach out a little further to kiss him... "Yeah. Over my dead body." I snapped, before throwing my arms out forcefully, shoving my hands into his chest, pushing him from me. -*-*-*- He, is Carter Williams. I, am Lacey Adams. We were once, inseparable. The 'Golden Couple'. The unbreakable best friends, that everybody envied. Nothing could get between us. A part from being tighter than white on rice, we updated our status from friends to being in a relationship, frequently. We were neighbours, which meant our families were all close and even co-owned houses around our town. This, all is, until the day of my sixteenth birthday. Everything changed. The loving relationship we shared, was severed and torn apart. I couldn't hardly stand to look at him any more, without spitting fire that is. Every day is torture being around him. He was in all my classes at school and the window in my room was even directly aligned with his. So, what happens? My mother's mum gets sick, so dad and her fly out. Just them. Leaving me to stay with Carter and his parents, who are never home. We would be alone. In one house. Under the same roof. If I was insane before, I have no idea what I am now. © 2016 by LaurenJ22.

Emma: Seventh Grade by Parakeetlover18

As Emma entered the school, she saw Josh approaching her. He had a distressed and upset look on his face. "Can I talk to you for a second?" he asked. "Sure?" Emma agreed. Her heart started beating faster as she wondered what was wrong. "I thought we agreed to keep out relationship secret," Josh stated. "We are," Emma told him. "I haven't told anyone..." "Then how come the whole school knows about us?" Josh demanded, his blue eyes narrowed. He was visibly angry but trying to keep his cool. "Are you serious?!" Emma cried, a shocked expression on her face. "I swear the only person who knew about us was Lizzie!" Then it hit Emma like a brick wall. Lizzie must have gone blabbering about her and Josh. Emma had clearly told Lizzie not to tell anyone, especially Kendra and her friends. "Lizzie...." Josh mused. "You're friends with that weirdo?" "Yeah...." Emma replied, ashamed. "I specifically told her not to tell anyone either! That bitch!" Anger started flaring up as Emma tried to sort it all out in her head. "That's why I told you to keep our relationship a secret!" Josh cried. "You can't trust anyone around here!" "I know, I messed up!" Emma sobbed, covering her face as tears rolled down her cheeks. "I'm so sorry Josh! This doesn't mean we have to break up, does it?" She gazed up at Josh with teary, sad blue eyes. "Unfortunately, yes," Josh stated regretfully. "Now that Kendra and her friends know, we can't see each other anymore. I'm sorry, Emma."

Rock, Paper, Scissors by AGMeira
