"What can I get for you?"
The flirtatious sounding bar tender asked juggling a bottle between his hands
"A longer life, do y'all have one of those here?"
I responded with a smile

Whispers Between Us
After the accident that killed my father, I stopped speaking. Not because I couldn't-because I didn't know how to live in a world that kept going without him. Four years later, starting college was supposed to be more of the same. Pity. Silence. Survival. Then I met Felix Carter. Loud, infuriating, impossible to ignore-he saw past the quiet and dared me to exist again. He didn't demand my voice. He listened for my whisper. Now, for the first time in years, I want to speak. But finding my voice means facing everything I've buried... and falling for someone who might just shatter what's left of my heart. **Currently being edited!Complete
Can I Die Now?
Noah Ardyn is only eleven - too young to understand why people leave, too old to believe that love can save anyone. His father vanished before his first birthday, and his mother became his entire world - a fragile light in an ever-darkening sky. For a while, that was enough. Until the day the world began to decay. A new virus swept across the earth, twisting everything it touched - minds, bodies, and hearts. The streets grew silent. The air grew colder. And one by one, everyone Noah loved began to disappear, leaving him with only echoes of their voices and memories that refused to fade. But the virus wasn't the only thing eating away at humanity. It was grief. It was fear. It was the unbearable weight of surviving. Noah doesn't want revenge. He doesn't want to be saved. He just wants it all to stop - the pain that burns through his soul, the loneliness that tears him apart from the inside, the cruel silence that answers every time he calls for help. And so, as the world collapses around him, he whispers the only words that still make sense: "Can I die now?" Can I Die Now? is not a story about giving up. It's a story about what happens when a heart feels too much - and the quiet, shattered beauty that exists in pain itself.

"He talks about you a lot, you know?" She said, her smirk clearly audible in the inflection of her voice, making me blush. "What does he say about me?" "Good things but nothing I ever doubted.

With mom and dad dead from a car crash a few weeks prior, and zero friends to acknowledge their absence, Elliot decides to visit the doctor. But is it more than what they bargained for?Complete
Second Chances
"I don't believe you." Noah said. I don't believe myself either. I thought. "Well, you should because I'm not lying. You thought I felt something for you. But, you were wrong. I feel nothing for you" I said with a monotone voice pretending to be brave. But I was dreadful of his next words. "If that is how you truly feel than I am sorry for barging into your life and thinking you ever cared about me. Have a good life. And good-bye, Gabriella." He said, his voice breaking. No longer calling me 'Ella' but instead Gabriella. I saw his jaw clenching under the moonlight. I hated myself for doing this to him but there was nothing else I could do. The wind blew along with the rain and I shivered. "Bye, Noah." I said. This was the end of us. © 2018 by MonMoncheese Started 08/01/2018
Half-Spoken
He was supposed to be just another face in the crowd. So why can't I stop writing about him?" Milo Rivers is a teenage songwriter with a case of creative burnout and a half-functioning heart. After months of feeling numb to the music that once saved him, he agrees to go to one party--just one. That's where he seem him. Rowan Hart isn't looking to be anyone's anything.

But when he catches Milo watching him across the room, something shifts--like static before a storm. Suddenly, Milo's writing again. Song after song, all about a boy he doesn't even know. A boy who makes him feel something dangerous. But falling for your muse? That's not part of the plan. As secrets unravel and pasts resurface, both boys are forced to confront the ghosts that haunt them--family fractures, quiet grief, pressure to be okay. And somewhere between the silence, the static, and the late-night conversations, maybe something real starts to bloom. But art is never simple. And neither is love.Complete
