I Fell in Love with a Bad Boy
CRINGE WARNING! First book I ever wrote on here!! -- "Sometimes the person who you are willing to take a bullet for is the person behind the gun." I stood peering over the cold lifeless body that lay before my eyes. I had always thought of death the enemy, but right now, I blessed it upon the person who is now at peace. Sometimes you don't need to be the smartest, or the fastest, but you do need to be wisest. They say the blood runs deeper than water, and I believe it, because even though the people that we love can turn on us and begin to hate us, they are only human, meaning that soon they will begin to see how short life really is and how it is not to be wasted. People who seem perfect and they look like they have no floors'; they are the people who are suffering, like I was. But I found my savior in the most uncommon place. He was able to look through my mask, he saw the cracks, and tried to fix the broken girl that hid away deep inside the girl who only wanted to be seen as 'fine'. I slowly began to find comfort and safety in him, and I did the same to him. We were two broken people becoming whole. Someone once said when you pass, if you can count your true friends on one hand you are beyond lucky, and I even though I did not like the person that lay before me, I know that he once had true friends, including me. I'm a 17 year old girl who has suffered more than any other, beginning to believe that 'Hope' was just another word the people throw around. Until I fell in love with a badboy.

Country Dream [Completed ✅]
"What'cha looking at?" I asked, in a cheeky tone. "Uh.....nothing......you just look nicer, that's all...." Mattias muttered. I grinned smugly. That's right, Mattias - never judge people on their first appearance. Liz is on her way up to a swim carnival in the city when her family is forced to stay for a few days at a famers house. At first, she is rudely ignored by the two sons, and decides to ignore them back.... but then she finds herself falling for one of them. Does her really like her back? And in the end, is it worthwhile for her to get emotionally invested? Read on and find out! ⚠ Short Disclaimer⚠ I wrote this whole plot when I was about 15-16, so my age will be reflected in the writing style & quality of this story. This is written from a romanticised viewpoint of a teenage girl who was living in the country at the time. That's apparently where I was at this time in my emotional maturity (and yes, I may have known a boy a bit like Mattias). So, bear with me - you've been warned. Buckle up and jump on board if you're ready to enjoy a classic, cheesy country romance with a short plot twist!Complete
