Through the glass windows, I could see water gushing out of the vents at
high velocity, filling the building with gallons of chlorine filled water.
I looked down at the pushchair, and back inside. What do I do?
Violet!
Mum! Dad!
My twins, or my daughter?
How was I supposed to choose?
How could I pick one, or two children over another?
Would I be able to save my daughter? Would Violet get out of there?
Tears filled my eyes as I watched the horror before me.
I could see people fighting for their lives, children drowning in the deep
water filling the room up. It was all happening so quickly.
"Violet!" I began screaming, gripping the handles of the double
pushchair, as the tears fell in torrents down my face.
Water started bubbling up through the grates across the pavement on which I
stood. There was so much water inside the underground building that it was
overflowing into the street!
Oh god, Violet.
Oh my baby.
She can't die. She can't.
I was in shock.
My life was falling apart right before my eyes and I had no control over
it.
I couldn't leave Dex and Willow, but I needed to save Violet.
I was at a crossroads, feeling so guilty for having to pick the twins over
Violet. I was forced to make a decision I didn't want to make.
You are never supposed to pick one child over another, but that's what I've had
to do.
I've been forced to stand out here and watch as people drown inside that
building along with my precious daughter.

The leaving 11 years on on going stopped up dating for a awhile
The leaving. It was hard, tragic , painful, yet it had to be done, I needed to save my life. I didn't want to start again, this would be the story of finding myself, pulling myself back together, reuniting the happy go lucky youngster I had once been. The shock of leaving took more of a toll on me than I thought it would. I had asked two people to help me move out of the house I had shared with my partner for 8 years, we had been together 23 years in total. The move was done in total secrecy, my partner could never know in advance, it was a very scary time. I had moved various things out of the house and secured a rent on a property nearby. The house I picked was near the School the children went to, and my oldest lad was going to be near his best friend. My Mother told me of the property it was advertised on the web, we both went and had a look, even that was scary, I didn't want to be seen by anyone and became paranoid that I would be caught out. For many months I lived on a new kind of fear, the fear of someone finding out that I planned to leave my abusive partner, though of course no one knew my seemingly happy, funny, generous partner was abusive. Finding the house was one thing, getting the various companies to connect the house and exchanging the information of my current address so they could varify that I was, who I said I was almost drove me mad. The day came to leave, My Mother and a very dear Friend came round as early as possible, we packed as much as we could. This included taking the boys clothes, bedding, toys, stuff from the garden, my stuff. We had 3 cars the packing seem to take all day. By the end we had to get going to be able to unpack, leaving me time to pick up the boys from School and settle them in their new home. I couldn't do it at first,I started to cry then scream, to leave the world I had put so much of my life into, and now in a split second would be leaving was breaking my heart.Complete
I Fell in Love with a Bad Boy
CRINGE WARNING! First book I ever wrote on here!! -- "Sometimes the person who you are willing to take a bullet for is the person behind the gun." I stood peering over the cold lifeless body that lay before my eyes. I had always thought of death the enemy, but right now, I blessed it upon the person who is now at peace. Sometimes you don't need to be the smartest, or the fastest, but you do need to be wisest. They say the blood runs deeper than water, and I believe it, because even though the people that we love can turn on us and begin to hate us, they are only human, meaning that soon they will begin to see how short life really is and how it is not to be wasted. People who seem perfect and they look like they have no floors'; they are the people who are suffering, like I was. But I found my savior in the most uncommon place. He was able to look through my mask, he saw the cracks, and tried to fix the broken girl that hid away deep inside the girl who only wanted to be seen as 'fine'. I slowly began to find comfort and safety in him, and I did the same to him. We were two broken people becoming whole. Someone once said when you pass, if you can count your true friends on one hand you are beyond lucky, and I even though I did not like the person that lay before me, I know that he once had true friends, including me. I'm a 17 year old girl who has suffered more than any other, beginning to believe that 'Hope' was just another word the people throw around. Until I fell in love with a badboy.

The Deadman ✔
DIABOLIC SERIES 3 All my life I've lost my breath. It would happen over the simplest things, if I stretched too high to catch a ball, lifted something for too long, if I sneezed, if I talked. Other times I would loose my breath because I had a panic attack, or was yelling or being yelled at, if I was exerting myself on a physical level. Having the wind knocked out of me is a familiar feeling. But I didn't truly know what it felt like to loose the air in my lungs, loose the feeling that has kept my alive my entire life. I didn't loose it when I fell in love, I didn't loose it when I found out one drunken night with the girl I love would mean a baby, I didn't loose it when I found out that I'd actually be a father. No, I lost that when she told me that she doesn't love me. When she spit in my face how much she can't stand me, how I've ruined her life, that she doesn't want me in any aspect. I'm not her 'type' whatever that means, seeing as she quite willingly had sex with me. Her saying this made this ugly, lonely and depressing thought hit my diaphragm. Violet Thompson is carrying my child. And she despises me for it. The way I came to this conclusion was simple, Nonnie- -that's what I call her, since her middle name's Noel and I wanted something to call her that if I shouted it in the middle of a crowd, only she would turn to and know it's me- -told me that all she wants is someone there. A father for her baby, a physical presence. Not a mind, personality. Not a person. A body. A shell. I've been a dead man walking. And I was that shell, was just a body... until I found him.Complete

Bow Down And Beg For Mercy
(Probably gonna edit this-just grammar and plot holes) In a world like mine, family are supposed to be the only people you can trust, the only ones who would always have your back. My family is included in that. My father trained us to be killers since we could pick up a knife. I am the youngest of six children in my family and let me say it is not cute or easy. I have been accused, lied to, blackmailed and more. We use each other for our own benefits, like soldiers but still, we're family. This is the story of how my family allied with another organisation to get rid of a mutual problem. Who will be trusted and who will be destroyed? While my enemies are playing checkers, I'm playing chess, with a perfect checkmate already in sight. Maybe I can play a few other games along the way. "What? Not so confident anymore, are you?" I press my body against him when his back hits the wall. "S-step back," he mumbles, attempting to command me. "And if I don't?" I twirl his hair between my fingers. He pushes me back. "D-don't do that," he breathes heavily. "Don't do what, pet?" I tilt my head. "Don't try to control me," his eyes don't meet my gaze. "My sweet Bunny, I'm not trying to control you..." I stalk towards him like a predator stalking its prey, a wolf catching its meal. When I get close enough, I put my lips to his ear, wrapping my left hand around his neck. "I do control you." I push him to his knees. "That is where you belong..." ❗️WARNING❗️ If you're going to this for smut, you will be very disappointed. I value tension and building actual romance, not just explicit physical intimacy. All pictures are from Pinterest!! I hope you enjoy! Pls comment I love reading them!!Complete

REPOSTED FROM @HHSauthor06! 3.26K VIEWS | 117 VOTES | 105 COMMENTS 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐍𝐃𝐀𝐋𝐎𝐍𝐄 What happens when you find out your husband doesn't care about you at all. Only his business. He doesn't know how to feel because feelings kill his mood and also could get him killed. You leave him and move on. Two months later you find out you're pregnant. Whoops... You don't wanna go back to a loveless marriage or that man. So...you live on the other side of the world in London for five years with your babies. How many: two babies. Twins. A boy and a girl. You're poor, but you give your children everything. But your ex-husband is different. He's hurting because now he understands what you meant to him. How important you were. What happens if he finds you with another man and two children? Drama, pain, love and so much more. (I don't do many R rated scenes. Sorry, if u want those types, please go somewhere else. This is just a drama filled roamance.) Does that mean there won't be any fighting? Oh boo, there will be so many. Fist fights and curse each other fights. I love fights and drama!!!!!!! 👀 Read my other stories as well, my darklings 👀 Peace out✌️😉 #1- womenpower #1- impowerment Thank you all! Hit 1k on June 4, 2022 𝐁𝐲 @𝐡𝐡𝐬𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫𝟎𝟔
