drake usually hops from girl to girl, but what happens when he finds someone he sees a real future with? will he trust himself to love, or will he leave her behind?

"you know, I thought you loved me," nova said, her voice tinged with hurt, as she watched drake pace around the room. she fought to keep his attention, to bridge the growing chasm between them, but it seemed like an impossible task. no matter what she did, drake's walls remained impenetrable.

drake stopped abruptly, his gaze meeting hers with a mixture of frustration and regret. "you know I love you. don't be that way," he replied, his words carrying a weight of truth but lacking the conviction she longed to hear.

"then act like it," nova shot back, her voice trembling with emotion. she was tired of empty assurances and hollow promises. she needed drake to show her, to prove to her that their love was real, not just words spoken in moments of desperation.

silence hung heavy in the air, each word spoken and unspoken echoing between them like a painful reminder of their fractured relationship. nova held her breath, waiting for drake's response, praying that this time, he would break down his walls and let her in.

That I'm to blame for being damaged?" "No, it's not your fault at all, but it is your fault for believing you don't deserve better. That you don't deserve to be happy." Nathan looks away from my eyes, inhaling. "Maybe the little things that you consider your weakness are actually the things that people treasure most about you.

She knew his identity. He didn't know hers. She just wanted to have him around. He didn't. She knew they could not be together. He didn't. She didn't plan for longer. But he did. What will happen when he comes to know her real identity? Will he be able to stop himself in time from falling or will she have to face his wrath for hiding the truth. __________ "Do you believe in love?" He whispered in her ears making her jump. He was close, no, too close. She could feel his breath and hear her heart beat pounding very fastly. She took a few steps back to get her personal space secured. "You scared me." "Sorry, that was unintentional and I did not know that you are that weak." He smirked at her. "I am not weak.. That..." she saw him taking a step towards her. She gulped and then continued. ".. is a..." Another step. ".. normal.." One more step closer. ".. reaction." Another step. By now, he was again within her personal space. "I think we should go and see if Natey is done with her books." She whispered and laughed nervously and turned back only to be hold and pulled back to a hard chest. He had purposely swirled her along with him, changing their position. His front was dangerously touching her back. "It's a weak who always run away showing back." He whispered in her ears, his breaths touching her neck. His hands were placed just below her breast and touching most of her abs part. ___________________________________________________________________________ This is my first attempt at writing.

"So, do you wanna go back to my place, eat some pizza, watch a Disney movie and maybe fall hopelessly in love?" I laugh and nod.

[COMPLETED] Mackenzie Lemay was hanging out next door at the Montgomery's---a typical day for her, being that her best friend Kylar lived there and it was summer. But what she didn't expect was six-foot-two, brown-haired, blue-eyed, and completely irresistible Zachariah to show up unannounced, throwing her buried, yet deeply entrenched, feelings for a loop. And just when she thought she was over him. For Mack, it had always been Zachariah---her childhood crush never went away. When he comes home from his freshman year of college, she realizes that the past year of 'getting over' her love quarrel didn't get very far. Seeing him again and hearing his voice causes a relapse in the burning fire for him in her heart. The plot twist? What happens when Zachariah needs Mackenzie to do him a favor so he can save face? And what's more, sneaking around with her best friend's older brother, or feeling like the time she spends with him has a deeper intention? Mackenzie was in for a long summer full of hope, heartbreak, heaven, and hell. And Zachariah, he was testing the lines of close proximity and complicated chemistry. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "I want to get to know you," he admits, looking into my green eyes as his blue ones twinkle. "To see how you've been, to know the things I've missed out on all these years." I let out a shaky laugh, running my fingers along his collarbone. "And here I thought I was just your kid brother's best friend." "And then you grew up," he replies, tilting my chin to him. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ HIGHEST RANKINGS: #2 in bad | 12/15/21 #7 in teenfiction | 12/15/21 #4 in school | 12/18/21 #10 in romance | 12/19/21 #1 in close | 12/21/21 #3 in badboy | 01/23/22 #2 in college | 01/23/22

I ran downstairs and opened the door. I looked around but didn't see anyone. I stood watching the light rain falling when I heard a quiet sound on the porch. I turned and there I saw Zac looking at me. I didn't think he actually stayed, that was probably why Mr. Johanson called. "Hi Zac, shouldn't you be at your house?" He smiled slightly. "No, I'm here, for you." I stared and his eyebrow raised just a little. "Okay...." I walked over to him slowly and leaned on the fence beside him. He looked down at me, having I was leaning and I was shorter than he was, just by a little bit. "What are you doing here?" I asked. He looked up and turned to the rain. "I heard your birthday is coming up." I was surprised, I hadn't told anyone yet. "Well, yes, yes it is." He turned back to me. "I was wondering. For your birthday, do you want to...." I looked up at him. "Want to what?" He stared at me in the eyes, I could tell he was nervous, but I let him go on. "Go to the somewhere with me.... on a....." My eyes opened wide. "Really???" He smiled. "For real." I stopped leaning and looked up. "Yes!" "It's settled. Saturday? At the park, 12:00." Zac said. I nodded. "Of course, see ya then." He smiled looking carefully at me. He held out his hand for me to shake, but instead, I hugged him. He seemed surprised and both his hands were awkwardly out, but then he put his arms around me and hugged back. "See ya MK." We let go and he left in the rain. "Bye." I waved and went back inside. --------------------------------- Experience a life that didn't belong to you.

"Never realised you would look like a Disney princess in a dress," said Jay, breaking the silence between them. "Is that a compliment, Mr.Dawson?" replied Leah quietly, her voice more of a rat's squeak. He pushed her chin up, boring into her eyes. Her eyes were welled up with tears. "Heyy, I know I am a hot stuff. You don't have to cry for being my fan, you know." He winked at her, as his two syllable laugh echoed in her mind. She elbowed him playfully, as she laughed at his comment. "Sorry about what happened last time, Leah. I didn't mean to react that way, though" said Jay, as he tugged at the loose bow that lay across his white collared crisp shirt. She stepped forward and adjusted his bow, as she went on," sorry for breaking your promise Jay," her voice the reflection of complete guilt and sadness. "I know how much this means to you, Leah. I've seen how excited you get every time you receive a letter from him. One lucky guy that fella is," he winked at her again watching a tear drop rolling down her cheek. He pushed her by the shoulders to the vanity mirror at the other end of the room. He pulled off the hair band from her pony tail, as he watched her hair fall across her shoulders, its ends curled inwards. The dress hugged her perfectly, the end of the dress forming waves near her feet. "That girl over there," he pointed at the mirror, "is what I would define as beauty working out its magic," he whispered. *** As wise men have said before, what the eyes couldn't see is what the mind doesn't know. Will it be proven true in Leah's case? Join her in her quest of finding her pillar of success whom had always remained mysterious; working behind the curtains of fame while she was showered with applause and glory. Will she ever find the one she was looking for?***
