"I-I'm sorry. I'm just..."

"It's okay to be scared, Lou," Nolan held his hands tightly. He gave a light laugh, "I'm scared almost every day. It's nothing to be ashamed of."

Lou clenched his jaw tightly, facing away with his eyes shut tight. "I...I'm scared to wake up from this. To--To open my eyes and see you gone, too. T-To be alone again." His voice hitched, "I can't do that again, Nolan. I-I don't know what I'll do. I'll...I'll go insane--"

"Hey, it's okay," the brunette tried to bring him back to reality. "I'm here right now, aren't I? I've been here this whole time. If I didn't plan on staying with you, I wouldn't have offered to help in the first place."

"But to keep you here, basically trapped for the sake of helping me--"

"What does being trapped mean to you?"

Lou took in a shaky breath, "B-...Being alone."

"Are you alone?"

"...No."

"Am I alone?"

"Of course not," his response was quicker, making Nolan smile softly. 

"Then, the way I see it, neither of us are trapped. Not anymore."

Once Upon A Bus Ride by iamtheeamani
68 parts Complete
Morgan Hall is your average teenager. That is if you consider having a billionaire CEO of a world renowned company as a dad and a fashion designer of one of the most famous lines in the world as a mother average. Let's not leave out her singer/actress of a sister who's taking the world by storm. Morgan was no doubt born with a giant silver spoon in her mouth, but her life isn't always as perfect as it seems. Aaron Smith, quiet and reserved, admired my many for his good looks. He doesn't seem to associate himself with many people. Which is why it's so strange when he finds himself becoming friends with the rich, little, daddy's girl...at least that's what he thinks of her. Fate and chance are at work when they cross paths one afternoon on a bus. Throw in crazy lives and secret identities, and you get one hell of a ride on the road to self discovery. What Morgan doesn't know is that one stubborn move could land her a new friend, and possibly even more. ~~~~~ "It's amazing...magical even, how hearing one song can take you back to a single moment or a series of them, just so you can live it all over again," he said. "I think that's the best part about music. It's like time travel you know? Going back to the past, or sometimes even visualizing the future...what we could be." "What about the sad moments?" I asked softly. "Nobody wants to re-live those." "Maybe not, but that's the entirety of it," he answered, raising his hand to brush away the hair from my face before tucking it behind my ear. "There's always good in the bad, and bad in the good. Balance." His fingers trailed down my arm, sending shock waves through me. "Can I tell you something?" I asked softly. The corner of his lips curved upwards in a small smile. "You can tell me anything."

2 parts Ongoing
Nolan's totally head over heels for Pierre, seeing her as way more than just a buddy. They've been close since they were teens, going through thick and thin together. Nolan's stuck in the friend zone, and it's tearing him up inside. Pierre's all friendly with him, sure, but she doesn't look at him the way she does to her ex. It's a real gut punch for Nolan, watching Pierre's face light up when she talks about her ex boyfriend. Nolan's in a tough spot, loving their friendship but secretly wishing for more. He's constantly battling with himself, wondering if he should spill the beans about his feelings or just keep it all bottled up. It's not easy being Pierre's go-to guy while hoping she'll eventually see him differently. Every time they hang out, it's a mix of happiness and heartache for him. "If you open my heart right now, you'll see how fast it beats for you, Pen," he said, looking at her with soft, warm eyes that showed both his vulnerability and his affection. The air was filled with a sweet tension, their hearts beating in sync like a gentle rhythm. One unexpected moment and their friendship took an exciting turn. What began as a fun night of laughter and reminiscing suddenly blossomed into something more intimate, leaving them both pleasantly surprised about what might come next. A spontaneous connection added a new dimension to their friendship, making things a bit different but intriguing. The easy-going atmosphere they once had shifted into something new. Now it was filled with meaningful glances and thoughtful pauses. Could they embrace this change? That question lingered in their minds, full of possibilities.

"I'm not going to hurt you." He took his hands off my waist and placed them on either side of my head. "I could never hurt you." He lowered his face into my neck. His breath on my neck sent electricity down my spine. Being flustered, my breathing became heavier. But not in the same way as when I freak out. It's in a way I've never felt before. The same feeling from when I first met him came back. The tingling in my core. His long finger tucked a piece of my blonde hair behind my ear. "Anyone ever tell you your really short?" He whispered. "Anyone ever tell you your really tall?" I breathed out, pinning my hands below me. He moved his face even closer to mine if that's even possible. His lips grazed against my jawline. My eyes brows furrowed from how good it felt. "Wha- what are you doing?" I breathed heavily. "What I've been wanting to do since the second I saw you." He grabbed my face and slammed his lips into mine.
