Pain Pain radiated through her body, causing her fingertips to go numb ever since that faithful day. The day she got left behind as Rio's past when she was supposed to be his future. She used to believe that he was going to be her future with his ring on her finger and their first child together in her womb. That day he stole her happiness, leaving her unable to smile again. Now she lies there, in a pool of thick, red, sludge that quickly gets soaked up by the mattress. Her unborn child spilling from her body. It feels more like her life force is being sucked from her soul and there's pain. But still no Rio...

Gambit (Obsessions in Overdrive #2) by MarcelinePierson

Previously known as The Accident --------- She is beautiful. So fucking beautiful. She is a star and I would become an astronomer for her and I would study for the rest of my life and I would bleed, sweat and cry day and night just so I can understand her beauty. I would want the other stars to be jealous of her since no matter how big and bright they shine, she will always be the brightest one illuminating the night sky. She's better than everyone. I constantly think about how she can do so much better and how she deserves to be with someone who will notice everything amazing about her and not just use her. She needs to be with someone who will notice how she laughs. How confident she is. How she talks. The way her smile is different from the rest and the way her eyes glow when you talk about the stars. They should notice how her hair flows and how she can talk all day. She needs to be with me. --------- Contains: Fake-dating College romance --------- Started: 12 October 2021 Ended: 16 January 2023 Editing completion: 12 July 2024 --------- #1 firststory #1 hotel #1 pretty #2 cutegirl #2 teenagers #3 loss
