"I-I think I'm in love with you." My eyes widened and my breath caught as those words left his lips. It was my worst and most beautiful nightmare coming alive. But I couldn't, I just couldn't. "I-I can't, I'm sorry." I started running away, wiping the stray tears that betrayed me and leaked, with the palm of my hand. I sniffed, feeling a growing pain in my heart. I clutched my chest, barely able to handle it. I kept running, but when I knew I was far enough, I fell to my knees, still holding my chest. That's when I heard it. The sound that shouldn't even be audible was so loud in the still silence that it swayed the trees. But maybe that was just an illusion. Maybe only I could hear it. The sound of my heart breaking. ______________________________________ Two people. Entirely opposite in only one manner. Noah's on his 'quest for love,' and Jade cowers from any such feelings. Hiding from love, she bumps into the playboy, himself, who's far from just mildly determined to make her cave into him. Will she be able to escape love...and its heartbreaking ways? Especially when it's Noah she's trying to hide from? ~*~*~* (trailer inside)Complete
The Bookworm
Excerpt: "Groaning, I pushed her blindly against the wall, bumping in a shelf, shit breaking around us. Didn't care, though. I hooked her other leg around me and held her up against the wall, taking long licks with my tongue, loving her against her mouth, tasting, experiencing her, all that she was. I let her slide down on me and pressed against her, as I fitted myself to the place my body mostly needed." -Noah Noah Wilson and Amara Miller. Magnets pushing apart, pulling together. He can't stand her, but he can't take his eyes off of her. She wants to hate, him but the more he's showing parts of himself, the harder it becomes. Can they survive the mishaps and grow into accepting one another? Note: We get the story told by both characters. It's shifting between Noah and Amara. Trigger Warnings: This book contains mature themes, such as sex scenes while both parties are of age. Also, there's a sex dream seen by Noah (21 years old) with Amara (17 year old). However, while still a minor, nothing physical happens between them, other than the dream. This book is a novella. It's a first draft, so mistakes are to be expected.

When I finish high school and start attending New York University my life takes a turn, for better and for worse. They're back. β πππππππππ π πππππππ β Years ago we found our little angel. She just so happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. She was the light in our lives, until one day we lost her again. Thirteen years later and we still mourn the loss of our sweetheart, but we found her once, we will do it again. I am the head of the Russian mafia, or a professor at NYU depending who you ask. One day I raise my head to look around at the sea of students and my eyes lock on a familiar pair of ocean blue irises. β ππππππ πππππππ β I'm a heartless killer and offer no apologies for it. As the head of the Russian mafia along with being the CEO to a multibillion dollar company, my life is nothing but darkness. During the day I'm an office man, at night my knife slashes through the necks of anyone I can get my hands on. Killing is my outlet, ever since I lost her. It helps me keep my anger in check. I've never stopped looking for her. We've come close multiple times, but each time came out unsuccessful. As I put a bullet in the head of my ex-guard, Alex comes rushing into the room, and the look on his face says it all. He found her. Start: July 4th End: ///
What Are the Odds?
Noah destroys every life he touches. Taking his first life with his own first breath, his path of destruction only spirals from there. Consumed by guilt and reminded every day of all that he's done, he makes a terrible decision- and ends up with the only thing he's ever wanted in life. Now he's faced with a choice- lie and be happy, or tell the truth and risk losing the one person who's saved his life time and time again. The odds that all of this could happen to one person? Slim to none. But then again, they've always been stacked against him. **trigger warning for content: suicide, trauma, physical/emotional abuse** **Mature- strong language, some sexual content** My cover was created using a free stock photo I found online and the website Canva- I do not own the picture!

"I've been waiting for this for so long " (William Afton x Y/N)
(Not finished, never will finish it. Funny to say, I wrote this back in my first year of high school for, honestly, shits and giggle but it blew up???? Idk... but I kinda just lost the original plot so it's all over the place, grammar doesn't make sense, nothing in this fucking book makes sense. So my apologies for the dear people whom have read this. I apologize for it being the way it is and how my mind just simply fucked it all up. I thought I could personally make my way up to the top and be so damn happy with it, yet looking back at my 14/15 year old self, it simply was a rich feeling that I was on top; to be honest, I felt like I was best out of all. Looking back and maturing A LOT, I don't feel or think that way. I understand we all have different writing skills or grammar; but that is simply just not in my case. I wrote this out of being greedy and thinking I simply wanted everyone to like it but turns out; even the painter hates its awful paintings. So you may read it if you would like, or don't. Just... idk, thinking about simply deleting it.) [But what I wanted to say is sorry. Sorry for breaking the many promises and wishes of the book to even made it this far.. younger me would have made it true yet knowing the older me wouldn't have.] (Y/N) had a one night-stand the night before her new job at Freddy's Pizzeria. Little does (Y/n) knows that guy she slept with is the co-owner of the Pizzeria. As she gets to kinda know this guy better, the more pain and suffering she goes though. Will (Y/n) stick around more? Will she leave him? (ALL PICTURES GOES TO THE ARTIST!!!) (CHARACTERS GO TO OWNERS!!) (ALL LYRICS GOES TO THE MUSIC ARTIST!!)Complete

Micheal Afton x Noah Martinez Rewritten
Hi :) This is a rewrite of my first book: Micheal Afton x Noah Martinez, because I think the original one is cringe even though I haven't read it but I know it is because I wrote it when I was like 14-15, and I just grew up just like my stories, and I changed my au a bit. I don't promise this book will be 32 chapters like the first one but may be even longer. Hope you enjoy. Warning: this book contains/might contain detailed murders, toxic family relationships, homophobia, smut etc. Original cover: I found it on Pinterest but can't find it back so I can't give you the publisher :( Edited by me #1 - michealxnoah 06.01.2026
Laughter of the Remembered (Completed)
Hayley- A 23 year old woman who has been through so much in her teen years. Her struggles are unimaginable. Her life in New York is much different than her old town. She's bought a house now, across from a nice little family, with a daughter named Evelyn. Ethan- He moved to New York mere months ago, not knowing that is also where Hayley lives. Will they cross paths? What will happen when, if, they do? Will their relationship go back to the way it was before? -----------------β--------------------------------------------------- "Hi, my names Ethan... and uhm. I'm an addict." "Hi, Ethan." "So, uhm. A lot has happened recently. I guess, you know, I could start from the beginning. I'm...uh... I'm not really sure what the beginning is, so just give me a second." God, where do I even start. Maybe I could start with he fact that the love of my life was... assaulted? But, I really don't think that's my story to share. She did that on her own. I could start with how she got pregnant. Is it really my story if I don't include some of Hayley's in it as well? I do start with that. I explain how her parents refused to let her keep her beautiful baby girl. I talk about her and Jayden. Not the assault part, but I vaguely explain the abuse. I talk about the attempt. How she hasn't spoken to me since. Fuck. 5 years. I don't even know if she tried again. Jesus christ, the last time I saw her, she was fucking bleeding out. No. Stop. Stop picturing it. I talk about how I texted her when I got out of jail. I didn't explain much, just enough so she would understand why I hadn't replied to her multiple texts. I talk about how I fell back into my habits. To be honest, it was going to happen either way. We all felt it coming. -----------------β--------------------------------------------------- #19 in latest- 2/20/25Complete
