Everyone was talking about their new years resolutions, planning parties, and excitedly getting ready for the new year.


Except for me.


I wouldn't make it to New Years, I was sure of it. After living like this for so long, I was ready to go.


December 29th. It was snowing, freezing cold, everyone busy speeding down the highway, except for me.


The brown haired girl wearing nothing but a pair of torn jeans, a white dress, red jacket, and ratty old converse standing at the top of the bridge, preparing to jump off.


But then he stopped me, and my life would never be the same.

Cold Water by adaline_meadows

[BWWM] I was only twelve years old when the world turned cold. The day my mom died in that car accident, I felt like someone had dumped a bucket of ice water over my heart. My dad, who had always been my hero, suddenly became a stranger, filled with rage and blame. He couldn't see that I was hurting, too; he only saw me as a reminder of his loss. The accusations cut deep. He said it was my fault for being there, for not doing something to save her. For being the reason she was in the car in the first place. In the years that followed, things only got worse. The abuse started gradually-a harsh word here, a shove there-but it escalated, leaving scars that I carried long after the physical pain faded. I was drowning in my own despair, struggling to keep my head above water while my father's anger raged like a storm around me. I only had a break from his anger when I started living with Aunt Dina-my mom's older sister. Well, that was because she found me nearly dead on my bed after I took a dozen pills. I was tired of living. I had hit rock bottom. The harsh whispers that followed me around and the stares at school. I pretended not to notice, like it didn't bother me. But it did. I was alone. Then came Athalia, a ray of sunshine cutting through my darkness. With her, I felt something I hadn't felt in years-happiness. She became my light through the darkness and my lifeline. ••••••••••• ● Warnings ⚠️ ~ Mention of suicide ~ Anxiety attacks ~ Rape attempt ~ Mention of self-harm ~ Depression

Blaze White is the New Girl at the Prep school in her mothers old home town. But her only goal for senior year is to keep a low profile, no friends, no parties and NO boys. Axel may be adored and worshipped by his peer-but he hates people, except 5. So when a beautiful but closed off girl suddenly enters his group. He is not welcoming of the mysterious beauty despite the pull they both feel. •••• WARNING: This was written many moons ago. I have decided to put it back up because of a large request from readers. However, I was a kid when I wrote this so take it with a grain of salt. *** Like a deer in head lights, I freeze and watch as the car comes towards me expecting to get hit. But to my surprise, the car swerves to the side slightly next to me and comes to a stop. I take a deep breath I didn't know I was holding at the driver's side door swings open and a very pissed off Axel steps out. "Thank god," I mumble and place my hands on my knees to catch my breath. "Blaze?" He says and I hate it. I hate how he says my name as if it's his. Like he knows it's the only thing I want to hear, him calling out to me, looking at me, focused to me. It's the first time in my life I wanted someone's attention so badly I didn't care how I got it. And that was too dangerous for me to hold onto. "Are you insane or some shit? I could have killed you!" He says and starts to walk towards me. I take a big breath and step back away from him, "s-stop! Axel," I stutter still panting. It's then he notices the blood on my hands and shirt. "Is that blood?" He asks staring at my shirt and I take another step back. "Stop, stay b-back," I try to say confidently but I can't even breath right. Realizing he won't listen I start to turn around planning to make a break for it. "Don't run from me Blaze it won't go well," he growls reading my thoughts causing me to freeze in my spot. "Do not ever think you can get away from me."

"𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐟 𝐚 𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐧 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐞𝐭 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫..." 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐥 𝐁𝐫𝐲𝐚𝐧𝐭 He was the only thing holding her together, preventing her from falling apart.

𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐫𝐚 𝐍𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐨𝐥𝐚 𝐌𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐤, austere and nearly emotionless. Withdrawn from her old school, she saw that as an opportunity to shy away from her demons, a chance to forge another path, leaving behind the bitter memories she desperately wanted an escape from. Battling with depression, struggling with the aftermath of a messy breakup and changing schools didn't come easy for Kira. But then, trouble stepping in, in the form of the grey-eyed boy that was the polar opposite of everything she stood for was the least of her expectations. 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐟𝐚𝐧 𝐁𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐲𝐨 𝐎𝐥𝐮𝐲𝐢𝐝𝐞, your daily dose of sunshine with a golden smile, coupled with a heart of gold. He had trained himself to be prepared for whatever it is that life threw in his way, but he certainly didn't expect to cross paths with the Snow Queen he couldn't stay away from, after one encounter. She piqued his curiosity. He irks her. A girl who has worn a mask all her life, torn between who she was and what she had become and a guy who waltzed into her life in the form of redemption, with just one aim in mind. To tear down her walls. Will this blossom into something more intense? With this burning attraction that tossed them into an abyss of deceits, betrayals, broken friendships and the most unlikely alliances. One word. 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐎𝐒!

I felt an ice cold tear spill down my pink and flustered cheeks and as it did I reached up and wiped it away with the sleeve of my hoodie. I dared to glance a look to my left and saw Jamie watching me. We locked eyes, he smiled and then looked away, but I couldn't bring myself to stop staring. His deep brown eyes were a daydream and his shoulder length hair a... trap for destruction. No, I couldn't let myself go there. I was just setting myself up to be hurt... again. I've had enough of that for a lifetime.
