"The problem, Amanda, is that, I know I'll never be enough for you." He looked down at me with glossy green eyes.
I took a sharp breath, "You are enough, it's just that..." My eyes instantly shot down.
"Just what? I don't understand what's holding you back. Why won't you love me?" His voice broke and the whole world went silent. The rustling sound of leaves above us and the slight shiver from the wind were the only reminders that the world still exists.
"You don't understand."
He placed his arms on either side of my arms and grasped me tight, his gaze locking onto mine like a lifeline, he searched through my dark eyes, possibly looking for what was already there - but he just could not see it.
"Then make me understand, Amanda!"
"I can't. You'll never love me the same when you find out. I want you to look at me with nothing but love, you'll hate me if you ever found out the other part of me that I tried so hard to suppress." My hands touched his face, gently tracing his jaw as I saw anger flash through his eyes. His jaw clenched and he tried to take a deep breath, hence closing those beautiful green eyes.
"That just means you don't know me." He let go of my arms and instantly my heart tugged. His gaze shifted down as he backed away from me. I stood there, frozen, as I watched the boy I loved walking away from me. The boy I grew to love. The boy who loved me more than I will ever know, and I loved more than I'll ever show.

Are you mine?
We've all heard about 'the main character'. The type of person who lives through the most dramatic and improbable situations, and finds the kind of epic romance you only see in works of fiction. Which makes you think about how unrealistic love like that is. I used to think the same thing until I met him. Until I met 'the bad boy' that, as it turns out, wasn't that bad at all, just simply...a boy. A boy with an easy smile, a charming personality and looks so enticing that I couldn't keep my eyes off of him if I tried. A boy whose shoulders were starting to slump with the weight of his past and his family. A boy who believed that the only way to survive was by putting a lock on his heart and chaining it down to a place so deep inside of him that no one could ever reach it again. A boy who, for reasons I'll never comprehend, placed the key inside my palm and didn't shy away when I tried to free his hidden heart from its restraints. A boy who made me the main character of my own story. A story I never want to forget, and which begged to be put on paper. This is that story. ~~~ #1 love triangle 8/26/2019 #1 teen romance 11/4/2019 #1 mystory 7/27/2020 #1 teen drama 9/9/2020 #1 goodgirl 9/12/2020 Cover by @alexandramar1e Contains swearing and mature language.Complete

✎ 𝐒𝐓★𝐑𝐁𝐎𝐘 "You can't possibly treat me like this when I don't even know you" I say, meeting his gaze. "You're acting like a child." His hand suddenly moves behind my head, gripping a fistful of my loose hair. I squeeze my eyes shut, refusing to show the pain. "What did you just call me?" His voice is low, laced with warning. "Say it again. I dare you." I force my eyes open. "I said you're acting. Like. A. Child." My voice trembles as his grip tightens. His eyes darken, something more than anger flickering in them. He leans in, stopping just inches from my neck. My pulse races, my breath hitching as I hold his gaze. Then, after a long pause, he steps back. Releasing my hair, he smirks, turns on his heel, and walks away-as if nothing ever happened. ∘₊✧──────✧₊∘ ★⏤͟͟͞͞ 𝙷𝚒𝚜 𝚍𝚎𝚜𝚒𝚛𝚎 𝚏𝚘𝚛 𝚑𝚎𝚛 𝚒𝚜 𝚘𝚗𝚕𝚢 𝚛𝚒𝚟𝚊𝚕𝚎𝚍 𝚋𝚢 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚏𝚞𝚛𝚢 𝚜𝚑𝚎 𝚒𝚐𝚗𝚒𝚝𝚎𝚜 𝚒𝚗 𝚑𝚒𝚖 ★⏤͟͟͞͞ 𝚂𝚑𝚎 𝚜𝚠𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚜 𝚜𝚑𝚎 𝚑𝚊𝚝𝚎𝚜 𝚑𝚒𝚖, 𝚋𝚞𝚝 𝚑𝚎𝚛 𝚋𝚘𝚍𝚢 𝚛𝚎𝚖𝚎𝚖𝚋𝚎𝚛𝚜 𝚎𝚟𝚎𝚛𝚢 𝚝𝚘𝚞𝚌𝚑 ─────────────── ☆ S T A T U S : 𝑂𝑛𝑔𝑜𝑖𝑛𝑔 ☆ S T A R T E D : 𝐽𝑎𝑛-6𝑡ℎ-2025 ☆ F I N I S H E D : 𝑆𝑒𝑝-24𝑡ℎ-2026 ─────────────── 𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒 ★★★★★ #1 yangjungwon #1 jungwon #1 simjaeyun #1 leeheeseung #1 parkjongsung #1 enhypenff #1 streetracing #1 hopelessromantic #1 sunghoon #1 ni-ki #1 company #2 enhypenjungwon #2 race #3 engene #3 jungwonff #3 collegeComplete
Fell For A Stranger
His rich, velvety voice sent thrills down my spine as he spoke my name. His intense, mesmerising gaze focused on mine, making it impossible to look away. As he drew me closer, his powerful arms wrapped around me, and I could feel the warmth of his breath against my skin. The aroma of his fragrance, a seductive blend of spice and musk, filled the air, making my heart race and my senses whirl. It's as if every aspect of him is intended to captivate and enchant me, keeping me completely entranced. Release me," I muttered, feeling my cheeks heat up as I stubbornly avoided his gaze. He let go like he had forgotten to do so. For a few seconds, neither of us said anything. I fiddled with the hem of my sleeve, pretending I was calm, while secretly screaming inside. Why is he just standing there? Say something, idiot! Finally, he broke the silence. "So, why were you ignoring me?" he asked in low, almost accusing. "Why would I ignore you?" I lied without flinching, acting like innocent. But he wasn't buying it. "I saw you," he said, stepping a little closer. "You ducked behind a door like you were dodging bullets. You thought I wouldn't notice?" Ugh, busted. I rolled my eyes. "Maybe I just didn't have any reason to confront you," I replied, crossing my arms as a shield against how close he was now. He leaned in slightly, smirking, "Oh, but you had plenty of reasons to hang around those guys at the swimming pool, huh?" he shot back. "I was just... talking," I said defensively. "It's called being social. You should try it sometime instead of lurking around like a spy." He chuckled, "Lurking? Please. I was just passing by. I was surprised when I saw you laughing with those guys like you were starring in some rom-com." I refuse to back down. "And what if I was?" I challenged. He didn't flinch. Instead, he tilted his head with a mock-thoughtful expression. "Then I guess I'd have to remind you... there are better options around " he said, tapping his chest casually.Complete
The Corner Store
I fell for a boy with the kindest blue eyes, and a charming dimple. He made me feel loved, and cared for, and most importantly he made me feel safe in his presence. He came right in the middle of a tornadoe and managed to turn it into blue skies. He changed my perspective and gave me hope and strength." I looked at him, and he was smiling, and his eyes were a little glossy. He took my hand and kissed it, a small tear caught in the corner of his beautiful eyes. "I thought, hey, maybe life isn't so bad after all. Maybe I can finally allow myself to love and be loved, and to live life normally. When we went to your party, you told me to wait for you. But then your perverted cousin made me feel super uncomfortable, so I went looking for you, just to be able to feel at peace again. And that's when I saw it."

Gentle for her.
"No one speaks to me the way you have been lately" He warned, his eyes trained on mine. "What are you going to do, kill me?" I answered back, my gaze focused only on his kissable full lips. "Much worse." I didn't have time to comprehend anything before he gripped my hips and slammed me down onto the bed, making my breath hitch. My hair had covered my face from the impact, very quickly I pushed it out of my way when Luca hovered over my body, his hands holding him up on each side of me.

His Bad Boy Ego | ✓
Highest rank #27 in Teen Fiction. Written by @apricitys. _ _ _ "What is this?" He asked, not even bothering to look at the canvas in front of me. Instead, his eyes were locked in mine. I swallowed my saliva, chills running down my spine. I felt my palms getting sweaty as my legs nervously started bouncing up and down. Without giving me time to answer, he took a step closer to me, eyes still locked in mine. Each time he inched closer, I used my right foot to slowly push myself and the stool back. It seemed to be the only option to get away from him; until he forced his hands below the sides of my thighs, holding the stool in place. He released a soft chuckle as he eyed me from my eyes, down to my lips. "You're beautiful," he said. From his voice, I couldn't tell if he was being serious, or messing around. It sounded sincere, however there was a smirk on his face. The smirk that he always has on his face when he's found an amusing target. Then he averted his attentions back to my eyes. His expressions softened up the moment his eyes landed back on mine. His smirk disappeared. I cleared my throat and broke the eye contact. I looked down at my palms as I rubbed the sweat against my jeans, "What do you want, Landon?" I asked, almost whispering. I felt his hand brushing against my right cheek, as he tilts my chin up to look back at him. His messy brown hair, his light blue eyes and his pink soft lips were just centimeters from mine. I felt his breath lingering on the upper tip of my lip. In a panic, I pressed my palms against his chest and push him off. He stumbled back with a surprised look on his face. "Aubrey." _ _ _ Landon Carthy is an arrogant boy, who knowns to have absolutely no care in the world. Making girls suffer feels great to him.
