Being a single 20-year-old male in the small town of Temple, Texas wasn’t easy. The older ladies in church always asked who the lucky lady was and then gave him a disappointed, sympathetic look when he blushed and said there wasn’t one. Every week was the same thing. The Sabbath was supposed to be a joy-filled day of rest, but instead Abel Corin’s Sabbath afternoons were a bit depressing. He would sit in his dorm room and think about how he always imagined his life to unfold: he’d find the perfect girl, graduate college, get a job, marry that girl, and then live to be a hundred with her. But the perfect girl had never shown up. It wasn’t anything he’d done; at least he hoped it wasn’t. He was always a pleasant guy to be around and although he wasn’t vain, he considered himself a pretty decent looking guy. He wasn’t often chased by girls, but he’d thought that the girl God intended him to be with would just appear from thin air. Because in his mind, she did...

Embrace My Heart (completed)
*Short Story* It is difficult to stay with the people who look down at you like you are some kind of disease. It hurts when they don't want to acknowledge you for the good things you have done. It hurts when your family rejects you only because you are quiet and weak saying you are good for nothing. Annie Ryan was nothing but a quiet, innocent teenager waiting for her mate to save her from the dark hell she was living in. She had only one dream, she wanted to feel loved, she wanted someone to tell her that they care and would love her no matter what happens. But little did she know that she was just another unfortunate soul whose mate had different plans. Caden was an young alpha. He had everything but where everyone was eager to meet their mate, he wasn't. He had already given his position of alpha female to his girlfriend. But after she left him, he turned cold and ruthless. But when he met Annie, his mate, one thing was clear. He wanted nothing to do with her. He asked her to leave but when she declined, he paid her no attention like she never existed. Annie was broken. Her dream was just a dream. Every night she closed her eyes, she realized she was going to die alone with no one to care. She wanted to end her life but not before setting everything right, not before her destined alpha mate finds his happiness. Caden didn't know what he was missing until he lost it. Maybe that's how life works. Maybe that's why it is called cruel.Complete

Love In All Sizes
One of the main characters of this story isn't your average pretty, size zero, micro mini type of girls. Let me introduce Ava Jacobson. Now don't get me wrong, Ava is a beautiful girl in her own right. She is 17 years old, has brown hair just past her shoulders with caramel highlights, beautiful bright blue eyes, and a size 12 waist that she is not ashamed of. Ava has real curves; she has boobs, she has a butt, she has hips, and she loves herself. She is a smart girl who gets straight A's, and has friends that she considers as close as blood. And since the very first day of her freshman year at Alexandria High School she has had a crush on Jace Michaels. Jace is your typical all American kind of guy. He is the star football player, super popular, and oh yeah gorgeous! He has brown hair with emerald green eyes, and a body to die for. And if that wasn't enough he is a super nice guy. Not the brightest of the bunch, but he can get by with a little help. And this is where our story will begin my wonderful readers...Complete

Homeless (mxm)
Book 1 HomeLess Book 2 ReckLess Book 3 SenseLess Being homeless isn't the end of the world. At least, that's what Zachary thought when he found himself on the streets after being kicked out at seventeen. It hadn't been his fault. His father had used him as a scapegoat and won his mother over, thinking that her husband was telling the truth about his cheating and that Zachary was the one who was bringing women over, trying to ruin their marriage. He'd argued his side, but once his mother decided on something, her mind would not be changed. That's how he came to live in the alley near the end of 73rd street between the old bakery and a laundromat. It wasn't anything special, but after three years he'd managed to spruce up the place and make it almost-bearable to live in. Over the years he'd made friends with random people he often passed on the streets and did manage to hold down a few random jobs, but like everything else, they came, then went. Now he was left with fifteen dollars and twenty-two cents, a torn blanket, one outfit, and a dream for a better life. He just didn't know that he'd find it somewhere he'd never thought to look... or with someone he never knew he'd want.Complete![Apathetic |[D.S]| 1](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/209824239-256-k481888.jpg)

"Shut the hell, your mouth!" Daniel's hands squeeze my waist as he pushes me against the wall, growing closer to me. The quietness striking me when the only thing I can see in the dark is my horrified reflection in his glowing blue eyes. I can hear my breathing as I place my shaking arms beside me not knowing what to do with them. I can hear my heartbeat going at such a fast rate, I wouldn't even be able to count the beats. My chest rising and falling against Daniel's chest. "Dan- "Don't fucking speak," he growls in my ear, "just don't." ~~~~~~~~~ College is an opportunity for a new fresh start and that's exactly how Lou sees it. For a start making friends isn't so bad with her popular roommate Kayla. When Lou enters a friend group everything seems fine, until an apathetic and rude guy named Daniel won't stop messing around with her. ~~~~~~~~~ #2 in apathetic - 2/12/20 #2 in apathy - 2/12/20 #12 in danielseavey - 2/1/20 #1 in jackavery - 4/1/20 #1 in daniel - 4/5/20 #1 in corbynbesson - 4/25/20 #1 in apathetic - 7/24/20 #1 in apathy - 7/24/20 #1 in whydontwe - 9/8/20 #1 in jonahmarais- 5/16/22 ~~~~~~~~~ started : 12/29/19 ended : 10/29/20Complete![Hey There Cliché.

Hey There Cliché. Fuck Off. [complete]
"Are you ever afraid of being alone?" I asked after a while. A question that had randomly popped into my mind. I wasn't expecting him to answer me, but he did. Jonah turned his face, but I didn't look back at him, I kept staring up at the skies. He turned back to the sky and took a breather before answering. "We're always going to be alone, Rose. Always. We'll be haunted by the darkness that is our own shadow, but in every shadow there's a light." He answered, as if the simplest thing in the world. I only stared at him with a dropped jaw. That was out of this world. Especially coming from Jonah. "When does it get better?" I mumbled. "It doesn't. But to go through it with someone makes it a whole lot easier." He turned back to face me. We stared at each other for a while. He'd always occasionally look down at my lips, and I'd do the same to him. I broke it off and looked back up at the sky. -=- New York City. The place of opportunities. But what shall Rose do when there's so many of them? Jonah, the seducer with a British accent, or Cameron, equally British but sweet. Her clock is ticking. She has one year to make up her mind until the exchange program takes back all their Brits and their New Yorkers return. And so the end-of-the-year party is the final strike. Either Rose chooses...or she doesn't. *WARNING* I began this book (my first book ever) when I was like 11 or 12 years old so the first chapters (idk how many) suck, not gonna lie. I had scrapped so many ideas (that I only really wrote a few chapters of) that when I was older enough to realize the story I had going so far sucked, I didn't want to scrap again, so I finished for that sake in a span of 3 years (and ended in 2014). All in all, not my greatest work, but read on if you wish. Text Copyright © droppedintoxic™ 2014Complete
