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

"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.."

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.

Abigail by hmarieh1218

(In editing) She's depressed. She's anorexic. She's suicidal. She's insecure. Abigail has grown up with her three brothers and James, never meeting her parents, who abandoned her at birth. Her brothers were left to take care of her and keep a roof over their heads. Everyday they struggle to take care of Abigail, while working to keep them in their home. Life for them is hard. Life for Abigail is even harder. She has a dark mind and not by choice. Somewhere along the way she's developed these feelings of loneliness and hopelessness. Everyday is a struggle for her and just getting out of bed is a success. She meets Zach, a bad boy with a bad reputation. He starts off as a tutor, just to help her out, out of pity. But eventually feelings get involved and Abigail finds herself liking a boy for the first time in her life. Things get serious and she somehow learns about his drug dealing business. Everything gets hectic and Abigail doesn't know what to do with her life anymore. Or if she even wants to live.

You're Still The One *slowly editing* (Completed) by LaraRuze

'You didn't answer my question,' he asked, holding her gaze in his hypnotic ones. 'Wh... what question?' She was surprised at her own voice, it sounded like of someone else's. She wanted to ask him--which question, there were so many he had asked her tonight. Each one threatening in their own different ways to her sanity. Brandan smiled mysteriously. Not answering her, he instead said something else, 'Don't keep staring at me like that.' His voice was soft. Suddenly, she found herself in some other world. 'W.. why?' She stammered ridiculously. His lips slightly brushed against her, she closed her eyes in anticipation, under the spell of their lips connecting. Sparking were the electricity all over her skin. ''Cause....' He took a step back from her, leaving her cold and she was too lost to do something about it--like leaping closer to him and getting engulfed in the euphoric warmth once again. ''Cause, you will fall in love with me... ' He paused as growling deeply a set of thunders boomed above the skies. Cold wind made her hair dance around. He finally finished his sentence, 'Again.' Rain poured down upon her heavily as if the entire sky was about to break down over her, She opened her eyes against the cold water to see he had lef alreadyt, leaving her to drown into his words, completely. *** They say love's blind. Maybe that's why Emma loved Brandan despite all odds, more than she loved herself but only to find that it wasn't enough. When time and fate decided to be cruel to the utmost, she found herself broken in all the ways possible. Realizing that love wasn't enough, she picked up her ruined self and found a new beginning at the end. But fate had, apparently, some unexpected plans in store. Against all odds, they were meant to face one another once again. But this time, Brandan was a changed man and so was Emma. While one was burnt from the pain, another was burnt from the guilt. And then...

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

My One & Only *Swan Queen Fanfiction* by MistiHI

"Emma, talk to me please." I asked as I gave the Savior her drink. "I left him." Surprised at her statement, I thought I was hearing things. "You left him? You left Killian?" "Yes, I left him" "Aww Emma". I sighed and then pulled my friend in for a hug. After a while, Emma had stopped crying, sat up, took a swig of her scotch then turned her face to look at me, she held my gaze with those green eyes. "I'm sorry Regina, you were the only person I wanted to come to. I hope you don't mind." "Emma, you're always welcome here you know that." My concern for Emma was deepening. "Do you want to talk?" I continued. "I don't love him, something happened recently that made me... ahh... made me be truthful to myself and I cannot continue to live this lie anymore." Emma took another swig of her drink. "But is he not your true love? I don't understand dear." Emma returned her eyes to confront my own chocolate colored globes, staring intently as if she was willing her eyes to speak, minutes passed before Emma verbally spoke again. "No Gina, he is not, and I don't want to fix our marriage, it has been a shamble from the start."

"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. He just chuckled lowly. My works are the outcome of my wild and roller-coaster crazy imagination that I nurtured with dedication and great love. I hold all the rights under my name and by all laws.
