i am so out of my comfort zone right now. the loud music, thousands of people talking at the same time, low lighting and smell of different colognes and perfumes. all of it. i was starting to lose my senses.

some people shove passed me, making elijah hold my hand and pull me closer. he takes me away to a different area of the venue. i'm being dragged all over the place. 

i bite my lip internally freaking out.

 "ameena?" eli holds onto my hand a little tighter. "hm?" i mumble looking at him totally disoriented. " is this your first time at a show? are you okay?" his smile expands like wildfire. 

my reaction to everything gives him his answer. "take some deep breaths, go outside if you have to. i'd stay back here away from the crowd, you can still get a good view of the stage." 

i'm too lost thinking about how hot he looks right now and how much i want to be in my room. just me, myself, my cat and my bed. 

i look around and see a group of girls staring at me. 

but they're not staring at me, they're staring at him. now that i'm aware, in notice there are a few people staring at him. there must be something i don't know.

She looks up at me, taking a step forward and smiling slightly, "How can I ever get hurt when I have you here to protect me?" "But you could have gotten hurt," I murmur softly, hanging my head and feeling my shoulders drop, the tension seeping from my body. "No. Stop," She cuts me off sternly but tenderly, "Don't talk like that, Reece. I'm okay, you're okay, we're okay," She speaks softly, reaching her hand up to gently brush her thumb over my cheek, just under the cut that's there. "We're okay," I repeat, taking a small step closer to her. She nods with a small smile, moving her hand down from my cheek and instead placing the palm of her hand on my chest, right over my heart. I know she can feel how fast my heart is beating. I just don't know why it's doing that. ~ Reece Carter is the bad boy of Northwood High. He smokes and he fights. He has countless tattoos covering his body. And he doesn't care about anything or anyone else. Layla Stevens is your average seventeen year-old girl, just trying to get through high school, with the friends she loves and doing the things she loves. When these two cross paths accidentally in an unusual way, they leave and never expect to speak to each other again. But fate has other plans. Layla finds her way into Reece's life and Reece doesn't know what to do about it. This ray of Sunshine suddenly meant something to him. She understood him when it seemed like no one else did. And he protected her from everyone who tried to hurt His Sunshine. Get ready for a story filled with bad pick-up lines, twin telepathy and a lot of fighting. Like, a LOT. Thanks for that one, Reece.

"If I could pick anyone in the entire world, in the entire world, Will, I'd still choose you." *** William Nile has always felt a lack of control in his life. His head's clustered and the past likes to eat at his thoughts. Isolation is a synonym for safety and staying neutral is a key ingredient for survival. He's always felt more put together when he was a mess; always felt like the world was clearer in the dark. He can't help it, this is just how it's always been. Then comes along a new foster family who throws him for a loop. They're exactly who they say they are, exactly who they act to be. With that comes a goofy boy named Clement and his best friends, annoying twins who laugh loudly- -good luck telling Jude and Demi apart- -and a girl named Minnie who has a god complex. Will knew from the day he arrived that he needs to focus on acting the way his foster moms want, on getting good grades, at playing soccer well and making sure that for once, he doesn't mess up. He knows he doesn't want to lose these friends, knows he wants to feel wanted and needed and understood. Because here, there is more focus on his mental health than there is on if he's acting the 'right' way. Here, there is room for growth and change past a foster parent's ideal child. Here, there's no room for entertaining the idea of him with a pretty boy who has a witty smile and a loud laugh. On that last note, he has no idea what to do (and Will is someone who likes to plan ahead). *** A coming of age story.

The whole camp was filling with smoke. I coughed, praying that my lungs would keep working for just a few more minutes. "Eli, which way is west?" Adam's breathing was just as labored from physical exertion, smoke, and panic as mine was. I didn't even process the question. I didn't know. We couldn't see anything through the smoke because the fire was spreading so quickly, and I just realized I'd forgotten my walkie-talkie. "Don't know!" I answered. Adrenaline was the only thing that kept my feet going. I knew we'd come in the East Gate, and if the cells were in the center, then if we kept going straight, we were going to find the gate any second. "Keep straight!" I instructed. I saw his head bob slightly, acknowledging my delayed direction. Then Adam cried out beside me, and I stopped short. I reached for his body involuntarily as he pitched forward, nearly causing him to take me down with him. My left hand was soaking wet from where it had landed on his shoulder. I winced as I tried to steady him, not daring to look at what I knew would be a pool of blood in my hand. ☁ Now that they have a new ally on their side, they're looking to change the United States for good. At some point, they want every camp freed and every teenager home safe. But each new camp brings an endless supply of new challenges. Things are beginning to spin out of control. Follow each of them as they discover who they are, who they love, and more of their country's secrets than they could ever dream of in a thrilling trilogy told from all five points of view.

"Its been one year and eight months since, and now all of a sudden you bring her up, why now? Out of all days?" I ask Jake sincerely. "I can see the act your putting up in front of everyone. The recklessness and all. You can get away with all of that with everyone else, but you can't fool me Bil," Jake tells me concerningly. "Why does it matter? I moved on, I have Drew. I'm not stuck on her anymore. Clearly - I've proven that by now," I say to Jake. "Do you mean that sincerely?" Jake asks me. I huff before looking back at Jake. "Yes. I do," I say to him truthfully. "Alright well. Finneas decided that it was best that I'd break the news to you," Jake says before sitting up in his seat. I look at him with my eyebrows furrowed, and suddenly a deep trench of anxiety forms in the pit of my stomach. "What is it?" I ask him. He hesitates before speaking. "Lilith is coming back to LA to work on the stage crew," Jake says. My eyes slightly widen. Fuck. ~~~ A year has gone by and now Lilith is back. Although a reunion is coming up, a year can change a person drastically, and as they say, change is inevitable. Will Lilith be able to reconnect with Billie? Or is it seemingly hopeless? Will Lilith finally remember Billie? Or did change form Lilith into a completely different person? ~~~ (This is the Second Book to the first book called 'Sweet Belladonna'. I highly recommend you go back to read the first one before continuing on reading this one, or else you'll be majorly confused.) ~~~ AU (Alternate Universe); Though some characters are real, this is fiction. Keep that in mind. Will contain explicit language, depression, anxiety episodes, violence, smoking, drinking, trauma, drugs, and real-life events that occur. +18 Votes and Comments help me a ton, so please feel free to do so.
The deconstruction of Eliz by Rossy1eliz
22 parts Complete Mature
When you see a person act outside of what you consider normal, do you judge or help them? How does an adult who grew up in the middle of a world not conditioned for her behave? How does bullying affect adulthood? Having anxiety and an inability to connect: Eliz imagines! Creating a fantasy that borders on a parallel world where she has everything that in her real life she can get. A life that has hit her and left her with doubts about neurodiversity, depression, her sexuality and, most of all, loneliness because of her introversion. Eliz battles each day to find the strength to face a world full of people who don't see her as human and who take out their insecurities on her. That lacks empathy, and equal opportunity for those who think, process, and express themselves differently. Clinging to her "antidotes" as she calls them: a furbaby named Sky, music, chocolate and Netflix . Without a support system around her, she uses all the stories she sees on the screens as a compass in her life and hoping to get the same result. Because if it works on tv why not for her? She expresses what she can't convey through words in her mind by using analogies of TV characters or a song. Eliz ponders whether there's a place for her, viewing life through the lens of a mother who had to raise her alone and a sister who resembles a model from a fashion magazine. A friend who is more of a friend when both are doing badly and a job she got because of dropping out of college. A boss she doesn't know how to talk to because she "thinks" she's interested in him. Add being monosyllabic and withdrawn. Come in and look at the mess that is in her head, hidden behind a desk answering phones. Eliz is repetitive, anxious, and full of insecurities. She is afraid of her shadow, kind of crazy, but with a good heart. Are you ready to see the world through her eyes? Be patient with her and give her a chance. © Registered in SAFE CREATIVE Code: 2304104018014©All rights reserved.
