Emma watched  as her dreams ebbed away. The only man she ever wanted, the one that she had saved herself for, was getting married to another woman. She watched, but everything seemed dreamlike, like an out of body experience. For her it was a living nightmare, with every passing second, she looked on as her world was falling to pieces.

This was not how it was supposed to be, she thought, as by some miracle the tears stayed away.

The part came where the pastor asked if anyone had a lawful reason to oppose the union...

Will someone or something stop the wedding? afterall, it usually happens like that in the movie, right? Life, however, is not a movie, life can and will break you, but if you want to find out whether it not it broke Emma, then continue reading.All Rights Reserved

Settling Slowly by AbigailGranger

2015 rolled in with a bang, and it did not have the grace to gift me with a social life that everyone in a one hundred year radius would be jealous of or that is even just the talk of the town. Instead I got myself into a complicated relationship which wasn't much talked about, a relationship that I didn't get into is talked about all the time and university is around the figurative corner. That is where you can factor in people I suppose I should call 'fans', the fascination that comes in with cutlery, pots, pans and other formerly boring things. But let us not forget that my parents are finally getting married and Mum can't shop for lace without me wanting to kill her, add in a dose of sleepless nights, invigorating kisses - which have nothing to do with the sleepless nights and a lot to do with nightmares - Harriet not knowing the meaning of the words "you're done" and Ice Ice Baby is still a thing. We're all growing up (except Dad who will still make inappropriate jokes at every inappropriate moment, some to do with what cannot be done when you're wearing a plaster cast) and holidays are being planned though some are less holiday and more a mad dash to find somewhere to live out in the big wide world without our parents. Life might be moving on, but I still go to McDonald's late at night with my friends. Some things at least don't change. Sequel to: Falling Fast Complete

If You Love Me by slybatspidow

"If you love me, you won't leave me." Jessie has believed those words from her boyfriend, Josh, since senior year of high school. She loves him and doesn't want to leave him. Not even when he shouts at her and hits her. Jessie's best friend, Kolleen, can't stand seeing her in that situation. With a bit of convincing - and the worst beating she'd ever received - Jessie agrees to move into an apartment with Kolleen. But not long after, Jessie is scared the worst of her nightmares will soon become a reality. Josh goes missing, and suddenly Jessie would swear she's being followed. One night changes everything, and one person soon changes Jessie's outlook. A responding officer from that fateful night begins to seek her out, at first claiming it's part of his job. As she spends time with her new friend outside of his job, she starts realizing that her feelings are evolving. After being abused for over a year, Jessie is terrified she's falling in love. What's even more terrifying is that he might be, too. She isn't ready for love. Not yet. She makes up her mind that if he is falling, and if he does love her, he'll wait for her to be ready, and if she loves him, she won't let herself hurt him. Can the words that used to cage her in really be the key to her freedom? --- Featured On: @NA: Take a seat and let it be | Mature Content and 18+ reading list @NA: You deserve the world | Mental Health reading list Ambys Top Picks New Adult 2023

An Angel Amongst Devils (An enemies to lovers, slow burn romance) by prettytragedies4ever

'"Tell me what's wrong." I laugh, but it's filled with sadness, "I can't tell you what's wrong, I don't know you." "That's exactly why you can tell me. Because you don't know me." "Why do you care?" I whisper. "Why are you crying?" "I..." I whisper so quietly I can almost not even hear myself, though my sobs "I don't have anywhere to go."' When Emma's Mother dies, she has no intentions of returning home to live with her hated stepfather. Emma finds herself wondering the busy streets of New York aimlessly. This is where she realises that she has nowhere to go. She's 18 and homeless. Perfect! With little to no hope left, she meet's Arlo. He's cocky, arrogant and an undeniable asshole, but just so frustratingly so, he also happens to be the most handsome man Emma had ever laid her eyes upon. When he offers the offer of a lifetime, Emma debates if she can trust this stanger and whether there is more to this man than what meets the eye. What happens when your only hope is a stranger?

The Girl in the Hood by AxelOfGalloway

Emma looks at the people as she thinks deeply. How is it possible that no one in this room sees that she had to do this. That it was not a choice but an obligation. But who would help her it wasn't like anyone in this room would stand up for her. Because no one here would really understand her. She slowly looked them in the eyes one by one. Some people were still doing their best not to let their disgust show in their faces. Others gossiped shamelessly about her. But Emma didn't seem to care. Deep down, she knew she was better than all of them.

30minutes (Complete) by thatonemanar

"I'd be lying if I said that I don't dream of a wedding like this anymore.. Sometimes in my dreams I see her.. stunning a white dress with her hair tied up in an elegant bun, I take her hand and help her go down with me to exchange the marriage vows and not just our hearts but our last names become one.. We dance as our laughter fill the place under the sun, She says yes to me announcing to the entire world that out of everyone I was her choice.. We promise each other to stay together through the sorrows before joys She then whispers to my ear with some words that I fail to hear because of all the noise, but the feeling of her breath alone makes me fail to keep my poise.. And when everyone gets back to their lives after gathering to rejoice with us.. I get her to be all mine.. as this thought floods my mind, I cross all the lines.. When we finally get to once again intertwine. In my dreams.. everything is heartwarming just like the smile she gave me the very first time we talked.. in my dreams everything is perfect just like her.. My only love, my fairytale.."

Safe With Me by _gisellewrites

It was like a fairytale being with him. It was like the world could come crashing down but not even that could tear us apart. *** "I didn't ask for you to come into my life or to expect me to love you more than I could possibly love him. I hate you, I hate everything about you. I hate how you barged into my life thinking you could solve everything. I hate how you expect me to act like nothing happened. I hate how you remind me so much of him. Nobody asked you to do this.." I hadn't realized how close I had gotten to him until his hands cupped my face. "He asked me, okay? He begged me to look after you. You need to face reality. He's dead Emma." *** We were perfect together. Nothing could tear us apart. Nothing....except death. © Copyright 2015 All Rights Reserved.

"So you are satisfied with how things are proceeding for you? You don't crave for more? You don't thirst for the end?" Her smile was tight and guarded as she nodded in affirmation.
