Let's Play Pretend - by seasandsalt
"So," she starts, one hand holding her bag and the other coming up to rest on Nick's shoulder. "How long have you two been together?" What? He's taken aback, uncomfortable under her touch and wanting to brush her hand off his shoulder, completely and utterly confused by her words. Together? Does she think they're dating? Nick starts, "oh, we're not actually-" Dream cuts him off. "We've known each other for about nine years, but got together four or five months ago." What the fuck? or; Dream invites Nick on a seemingly innocent vacation aboard a cruise ship. Nick realizes that Dream's family is under the impression that their relationship is much more than just friendly. He also realizes that they have to keep up the lie for the entire trip. © seasandsalt, 2021 This story is NOT MINE. THIS STORY BELONGS TO seasaltsand ON AO3 ALL CREDIT GOES TO THEM!

The Bad Boy Saved Me
Do you ever wonder what life would be like if it were a movie? Or some sappy romance novel that you wish your life could be like but it's not? Sometimes you may even get to caught up in the fictional world that you don't realise it IS fictional. Then when you do realise life isn't what you convinced yourself it would be, there is only one possible outcome. Depression. Which may lead to anxiety, self-harm, low self esteem, and worst of all, losing the people you love. Life works in weird ways. Not just for you but for others too. Take Cassidy Rivers for example. Her life is far from perfect. No parents, over protective big brother, few friends, and Asher Norman, the bad boy who won't stop picking on her. Could life get any worse for Cassidy?Complete
