Dragons Tale by therealme96

'Why!? Why are those drunk assholes after me?! I didn't do anything too them!!' Confusion was mixed with the fear and panic of the singular female voice. 'Where the hell are you, you stupid moron? I'm terrified being on my own!' 'Why the hell am I only hearing one voice?' The panic and fear he felt from the voice, felt as though it was crushing him under with the weight of bricks.

But what happens when a blast from the past comes knocking, and with it comes all the baggage Ariana has tried for 9 years to keep buried behind her. She is faced with a choice to make. Elijah stone Famous, handsome, sexy, dangerous and broken. But that last part he tries to hide from the public. Well known for his success in the business world after having inherited the family business from his father, alongside his brother. He carries a burden from a past he's trying so hard to forget. A past he regretted ever being a part of A past he wishes he could erase and change for the better. He seeks redemption, but that's a word far too big for Elijah, because he knows he can never get it. Not after he broke her. Not after he ruined her life. 9 years after and he still feels like a monster, a monster that doesn't deserve forgiveness, a monster that should be left to rot in hell. But life works in mysterious ways, and Elijah has been given another chance. A chance to redeem himself. A chance to prove that he is a changed man, different from the goofy, rude, arrogant and self absorbed teenager he once was. But he soon finds out that redeeming himself is not the only thing he has to do. Life just fucks with you when you least expect it.

I'm not going to lie though, as much as I hate being interrupted, I smiled at some point when I heard those words. That must be a fake smile for sure.

This is the mistake that broke her, and now she's damned to suffer through life alone.....or is she? * * * "I'M FUCKING DIRTY! How can you even stand me, how can you even bear to look at me?" He questions emotionally, becoming a mix of angry and sorrowful. " I was a victim of human trafficking, too. I'm just like you in that aspect, just like you." I say, grabbing his hand tightly and pulling him closer and looking him in the emotionally driven eyes. "Don't keep pulling yourself down, don't you see that you are drowning yourself?" I ask, my voice breaking. "Just let me drown." He whispers. "Never." *Beautiful cover by tittylord

Blink by FreyaOdin

Scott's vision is fuzzy. Hazy. Unfocused like it hasn't been since the LASIK. He vaguely wonders why, but his head hurts so much he's distracted and can't figure it out. He thinks for a second that he's drunk. That he's given himself the mother of all hangovers. But his shoulder and his arm and his chest and his side and his leg also hurt-shit, his shoulder really hurts-and he's never been drunk enough for that to happen before. Plus, if he's not mistaken, that's his steering wheel in front of him, through the haze and the dust and the noise and the red and whatever the deflated white thing is. Regardless of how drunk he's been, he would never be drunk in the driver's seat of his car. Fuck. Fuck, he hurts. The spiderweb pattern across his windshield is kinda pretty though, sparkling like that in the sun. Blink.
