Hiraeth: (n) a homesickness for a home you can't return to, or that never was.
When Emma moves to live with Charlie things in her life change. Not only is she suddenly living in the "right" part of the city, but Charlie is also someone who can teach her a thing or two, even if she has sworn that the two of them are just friends. However, once her past comes back to haunt her, she suddenly has to decide who she wants to be before it's too late.
"You're trembling," he says stating the obvious as a hand runs up and down my arm, and I look at him with a scared expression. "I don't bite, Em."
I open my mouth wanting to speak, but no words escape my lips.
"Are you afraid of me?" He asks grabbing my wrist.
"No," I say in a stutter, at least I don't want to be, but my body is speaking a language of its own.
His eyes search mine for any indicator that I want him to stop. "Then let me show you how good I can make you feel."

A Rose In The Wild
---BOOK 1--- (completed) . . "Ash I...I l-like you. I like you a lot. Not k-knowing.... Ignoreing you-it hurt. It hurt like h-hell" she stammered. "If what Andrew said was true...." she left the sentence hanging. "Ash I don't care. I-I I want to be w-with you." My heart went up in flutters. But this should not have happened. The thought surprised me. I realized in that moment that I care about her and I am known to hurt people. And she will get hurt if I am with her. I am too toxic for her pure heart. " I don't think you know what you are talking about." I said with a sweet smile. "You are drunk Rose and you should go home." I spoke looking into her eyes. "I will leave you alone Rose, just like you asked me to," I say with all the traces of smile gone from my face. She was hurt already. I could see it. Her eyes were wide as if someone took her world and shook it. I can see she won't remember this but I needed to get my feelings under the bridge. And than without a warning she passed out.Complete

"Who hurt you so much that you started to hate yourself?" Quickly I change the subject. I am not going to cry for Jacob, I am not going to cry for the constant physical and mental abuse I was tormented with. No way am I going down that road right now. "I get jealous, okay?" I sigh, starting to tear up. "I still don't understand why you chose me, when you literally could have had any girl, any model...just anyone you wanted." "Baby, I would never leave you," Harry replies, sincerity in his eyes. I burst out, "How do I know that? Harry, so many people have told me they'd always be by my side, and they are all gone now, or they've hurt me in some way. How can I trust that you won't do the same thing?" His face falls again, disappointment written all over his features. "You can choose to trust me," Harry begins, and I notice an edge to his voice. "Or you can leave what we've had behind. I chose you. And I'll choose you over and over and over. Without pause, without a doubt, in a heartbeat. I'll keep choosing you." [COMPLETED MARCH 2017]Complete

We Never Broke Up (A Second Chance Romance)
"So... what about us?" he asked, and I looked at him, a bit bewildered. "What?" I inquired. "You and me... what are we, Sera? You know how you affect me. You make me feel like I'm losing my mind, and I feel incomplete when you're not around. I yearn for your touch, your scent, and everything about you drives me wild," he admitted, his words close to my face. I let out a shaky breath as I felt a warmth spread through my body. "Thad, I think you're getting something wrong," I began, but he interrupted me. "No, you're the one refusing to admit that you're feeling the same way I am," he insisted, causing me to fall silent. He was right, I couldn't deny the feelings i had for him. They had always been there, but they had intensified with his return. βββββββ‘β‘β‘βββ‘β‘β‘βββ In their final year of high school, Thaddeus and Sera epitomized the dream teen couple, envied by all.
