Always Been You
Some people grow up with childhood friends. I grew up with Noah Lancaster. Two years without Noah by my side, and I thought I'd changed. I'd grown into my own person, no longer the girl who needed protecting. But stepping into the prestigious halls of St. James proved I was wrong. Surrounded by strangers who make it painfully clear I don't belong to their world, it's all too easy to fall back into old patterns. And Noah... like the constant he's always been, pulls me back into his orbit. Only he's not the same boy I remember. He's sharper now. More calculated. More intense. There's something in him I can't quite name, a quiet shift in the air around him, like the moment before a storm breaks. They say university is where you find yourself. I never thought I'd find myself in the middle of something I couldn't walk away from... or explain to the police.
We Almost Were
It was only supposed to be six months. California wasn't meant to feel like forever. New city. New roommate. New rules. I wasn't looking for love - I wasn't even looking for trouble. But somewhere between late-night talks, skate parks at sunset, and parties that tasted like cheap beer and whispered of forever... I met him. We weren't a love story. We almost were.Complete

She looked straight through me - like she already knew the ruins I was made of. And still sat next to me... like she wasn't afraid of turning to ash. She doesn't know what she's walked into. She doesn't know the things I've done. The darkness I carry. The name I still curse in my sleep. But she smiled at me. And I broke. Not because I was weak. But because for the first time in a long time - I wanted to be someone worth staying for. This isn't about forgetting the past. It's about what happens... when someone new walks in and makes the past bleed. She's not my first love. But she might just be the one I destroy myself for. Because butterflies don't heal broken men. But she's not just a butterfly. SHE IS MINE BUTTERFLY 🦋. I don't appreciate copying.

As he catches up to me, he grabs my arm swings me around and with one swift movement he ushers me into a nearby empty classroom with the lights off. He cages me in against the wall. His close proximity is making me dizzy and my mind is thinking very dirty thoughts. Wait no. I can't think like that anymore. "Kendall." He says hungrily. "You are mine and only mine. You drive me wild and no one else can have you." He says as he attacks my lips. It feels so amazing I can't help but kiss him back. I run my hands through his beautiful hair and he groans into the kiss. Man I don't want this to ever end. I feel drunk on him. I don't think I can let him go. He stops suddenly to finish his thoughts. "No one can make you feel like this. Or kiss you here...." He says as he kisses down my neck. I moan and he smirks pulling his face impossibly close to mine. "..or touch you." He says as he takes his hand and brushes it lightly down my arm and he snakes it back around my back pulling me even closer if that is possible. He finally stops at my ass which he squeezes delightfully and I hum in response. Warning: Contains graphic sexual content. Read at your own discretion. You will not be warned ahead of time.

I told myself I wasn't her. Until the night she touched me. And I let her. This is not a love story. This is a slow dying. A first person confession. And if you read long enough... you'll understand why I didn't survive her.
