The grass is always greener on the other side. That's what I kept telling myself.
I was that dull, dead grass, dreaming of going to that other side.
And I did make it to the other side, through means no one would ever believe however. But it wasn't the "other side" I was thinking of. It was a lot worse. There wasn't any grass either.
Prompt: It's not a disease. Many doctors have confirmed it for you. It's not a prank. You live alone. So, why is your body turning greener day by day?

I ... I didn't even knew I was going to marry him till yesterday. I have no way to go now. I can't be stuck in loveless marriage, I can never marry a person who doesn't love me. I don't love him either. There is no point of this arrangement. How even he managed to get me here all dressed up anyways? My legs stuck to the ground as I was in front of him, He is a Ruthless man, he never ever can be kind. He barely speaks, No one speaks good about him. How can I marry a person as Him? I noticed he had a glance at me as my father was about to pass him my hand. What am I doing? Am I ready to let this happen to me? My feet moved back, I saw sudden change in his eyes. I had a glance at my Dad and Mom. My Elder brother Isaac who was standing there beside my Mom. My eyes went to Riccardo as he called my name, "Cherish ..." I got shivers. I took a few steps back, at this point everyone was looking at me. Riccardo looks me with some kind of betrayed feeling. Now or never..... THIS STORY CONTAINS VIOLET, ABUSIVE SCENES AND LANGUAGE....

Lovely Soul (Fifth Harmony/You)
Ever felt like you never really remembered what you had for dinner the night before? You always had that feeling of not knowing anything. Why? You're a wandering soul, seeking for some kind of closure to who you are or were. The only thing you have is a necklace of a bird and a shooting star. You constantly walk around to hope for some kind of familiarity. Just as you are about to lose hope, a voice in the shadows spoke out to you: "Let me make a deal with you. If you are able to find out who gave you that necklace, you can have your body back. But if you don't within 6 months, I get to have your soul. Deal?" Would you take the deal? Aren't you just slightly curious to find out something about yourself and the people you use to know? ----------------------- Written from: May 5th, 2017 - Sept 26th, 2017Complete

β§ ππππππππ ππππππππ (πππππ) β§ When I was six I was kidnapped and taken away from my family for seven months. Thirteen years later and I have little to no memory of who had taken me. Ever since then my father has been severely overprotective and never lets me out of his sight. Now that I'm somewhat on my own everything starts to change. When I finish high school and start attending New York University my life takes a turn, for better and for worse. They're back. β πππππππππ π πππππππ β Years ago we found our little angel. She just so happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. She was the light in our lives, until one day we lost her again. Thirteen years later and we still mourn the loss of our sweetheart, but we found her once, we will do it again. I am the head of the Russian mafia, or a professor at NYU depending who you ask. One day I raise my head to look around at the sea of students and my eyes lock on a familiar pair of ocean blue irises. β ππππππ πππππππ β I'm a heartless killer and offer no apologies for it. As the head of the Russian mafia along with being the CEO to a multibillion dollar company, my life is nothing but darkness. During the day I'm an office man, at night my knife slashes through the necks of anyone I can get my hands on. Killing is my outlet, ever since I lost her. It helps me keep my anger in check. I've never stopped looking for her. We've come close multiple times, but each time came out unsuccessful. As I put a bullet in the head of my ex-guard, Alex comes rushing into the room, and the look on his face says it all. He found her. Start: July 4th End: ///
Give me shelter
Have you ever felt so lonely you believed there was nothing left for you? Stashed away, merely forgotten. I mean you could cry and cry, yet no one would hear you. At least no one you truly once loved. Being yourself can be detrimental to others happiness, and so you down play who you are. You devalue your beliefs, your morals fall short and that hollow rock turns into your Mirror. Do you matter anymore? Would anyone care if you simply disappeared? Could you find your way out of the darkness? Look Closer is one of my favourite quotes and so I'll use it as a guide to understanding the complex characters you're about to meet.Complete

Eighteen Tears To An End
π‘πΌππ²: β’ Statements in slashes indicate Giva's self talks. e.g / -πππ πππ‘π- / β’ It is what it is. Eighteen Years To an End. A mind filled exclusively with dark thoughts. The ones that would entirely change one's personality if only they take over, once you have had your lot...Something so menacing that even death cant resist not having you. Unusually, have you pondered over how it would be, if someone would've wanted to stop existing on their birthday? Giva, her 18th birthday is a day close and her wish is to be gone- disappear into the end or the beginning of something new. But why is it so...Is that her desire out of despair? Giva believed that one starts to question existence when one's not living, but to inquire herself is how she knew she was, infact, living and yet not alive. Would she quit what could possibly be called the suffering or is it a purpose? The world seems to have made her believe that she will have to take her thoughts, her feelings with her to the grave. With an impression like "No one needs to know 'cause nobody really understands or wants to" that the world left on her, she eventually gave up on people. Such a wish why Giva had, could be fairly reasoned... With such depth that even Giva couldn't help but romanticize death when it came to herself- to somehow disappear. What separates her and her wish is nothing but Death itself. What could it be to hold her back from the sin, if nothing but God? And if she was to give in to it, that would only be so ungrateful and unfair, for the glass was always half full. Yet, the other side seems to be the only way to sound peaceful. If there's one... Is it the only way? Is there the 'other side' ? *Song: While I'm Alive by Lauren Jauregui, Femme it forward* "I haven't celebrated my birthday in years..."Complete
What We Lost (Camilo X Y/N)
"When life seems too great, there's always something dark hiding in the shadows. Even the most joyful person can be hiding the their darkest thoughts. When you lose someone that you love it's painful, but when that person loses themself, that's worse. A different kind of pain." π€π€π€ "The more time you waist trying to be what others want you to be, the more you lose yourself" - Pooja Mamta Meena I DO NOT own Encanto or any of its characters!!

I ran downstairs into the living room, my heart pounding as I found all my brothers gathered around Nefeli. Her eyes were frantic, scanning the room, desperately searching for me. The scream that bastard had let out earlier must have reached her... The moment our eyes met, she practically threw herself at me, wrapping her arms around me so tightly I could barely breathe. I stood frozen for a moment, unsure of what to do. I hugged her back anyway... Even though I had no idea what was going on. "Thank God you're safe" she murmured in my ear, her voice trembling, leaving me even more confused. I glanced at my brothers. They all looked just as lost as I was. Except for Aiden and Alex. They were motioning for me to hold on. "Of course I'm okay, Nefeli. What happened?" I asked, my heart tightening. I hated seeing her like this, so worried and panicked. "I-I heard Alex and Aiden talking in Italian!" she stammered, her eyes wide with panic. "They said something about the Mafia! Are we being threatened by the Mafia?" Her voice cracked, and tears threatened to spill from her brown eyes. The room fell silent for a moment. My brothers exchanged looks, and then, without warning, we all burst into laughter. Nefeli stared at us, completely confused. Cole, finally calming down, wiped his eyes and looked at her with a smile. "Love" he said, his voice smooth, "we're not being threatened by the Mafia." he let the words settle in the air for a second. "We are the Mafia." β’ β’ β’ _______________________________________________________ β οΈ DISCLAIMER β οΈ Mentions of abuse, violence, harsh language, bad mental health, and light depression!

Decadent
My hand slaps against my mouth as I try to shut myself up. Don't make too much noise...or he'll hear you. A vehicle's door opens then slams shut. I don't hear footsteps...but as the minutes go by I begin to hear them; the footsteps get louder and louder and louder, matching the sound of my thundering heart. That's when I see his shadow cast over the ditch...over the place where I tried to hide. "Well," he says with a smile in his voice. "I wonder where he could've gone...the footprints stop here...so I wonder if he just...disappeared?" My body begins to tremble. I can feel it now. The pain. I can feel the pain already. He jumps down into the ditch...he stands directly in front of me, with his back facing me. My hand presses harder against my mouth as I try to suppress my whimper, but it's way too late now. But his body tenses up when he hears it. He laughs bitterly as he turns around slowly, and his eyes cut through my camouflage easily. "There you are."Complete
