Teddy stopped squirming and glared. "I don't need your help," she said scathingly in her English accent. "Just go away."

He snorted. "Clearly," he said, "you do, mate." Australian.

Teddy resumed her grunting, completely ignoring the irritating voice droning, "Doors are now closing. Please mind the gap." 

"I can just let the train crush your foot," said the brown-haired guy nonchalantly. "I mean, I don't care."

"Please mind the gap."

"SHUT UP, VOICE!" Teddy shouted. She sighed. "Okay, Brownie, pull me out of here."

Brownie looked reproachful as he grabbed her by her hands and yanked none too kindly. "Brownie?"

"Ow!" Teddy groaned as her foot hit the edge of the platform. "Careful!"

He rolled his eyes. "Whatever." He pulled again and this time, with a loud yelp from Teddy, he was successful at rescuing her from the now closed doors.

---

And so Teddy Errol's foot/thigh/whole leg fell into the gap between the train and the platform. Miraculously, she was rescued by a handsome Australian guy who just so happened to be her opponent in her upcoming tennis match.

Lo and behold, Nathan Wren was probably the most annoying boy Teddy had ever met. Nathan was her complete opposite: always smiling and nice... and hiding a secret he's afraid to tell the world.

Maybe the rude girl and the boy of sunshine would somehow end up together after a series of weird and unexpected events and later be torn apart by problem after problem.

Guess all you have to do if you were in their situation is to mind the gap. Or maybe not. After all, the gap was surprisingly the thing that brought them together in the first place.

{Completed - #12 highest} I was walking on a path all alone at midnight. I was just wondering around, until I saw a guy in a hoodie. He was beating the pulp out of another guy and one more man was on the ground, he was not moving. I gasped. 'Is he dead?' Or he can be unconscious, yeah 'el' he is just unconscious not dead. Duh! Who would kill a guy? As I was proceeding with my thoughts, that hoodie guy turned his face towards me. My heart had a mini heart attack. I turned my heels to the opposite direction and started to run. 'Run Ella, run for your life' was what my mind was screaming to me. I took turns without thinking, that guy was now following me and guess what? I took a wrong turn and which ended up being a dead end ' You are so dead' I thought. So, I started to think what I said last time to the people I love. 'Good night mom, love you.' to my mom, 'Stop annoying me! I'm going to bed.' to dad which also mean I love you, 'See you later Lu, love you!' to Luana. Okay my good bye says I love them all. Now I can die in peace. Granddad I'll meet you soon in the heaven, if you are there. I was still in my deep thoughts until I saw his silhouette. As, he get closer, my heart begin to race faster. I closed my eyes, until I heard him say "Ella?" O to the M to the G, this person actually knows me. I opened my one eye and saw him due to the small light hanging in that ally "Errrrr'ick!" I squeaked and mentally face palmed myself. Even at this state I'm calling him Errr'ick. "I'm sorry your highness, what can I do for you?" I squeaked again while trembling. The next second I heard his fits of laughter. He was rolling on the floor, actually rofling. I was glaring at him but I realised that I'm not in a position to glare. So, I made puppy dog face for him to spare my little life. He stopped but after seeing my face, he started to laugh again. He tried to say between his guffaws "You..... your face .....was epiccc!" He started to gasp for air and had tears in his eyes.

Mature themes, and strong language! 18+ only. It's been 10 years, since Kate chose Logan. 10 years since she broke Rome's heart. As I make my way back, I accidently bump into a man. "Oh gosh, I'm sorry." I say apologetically. "It's fine. Don't worry." His voice. I know that voice. "Rome?" I say in disbelief. The man pulls down the hood on his jacket, revealing his face. It is Rome. He looks older, he still looks good, but I can see, he's not in a good place in himself. He's smiling, but behind that smile, his eyes are full of sadness, and anger. "Hey Kate." He whispers sheepishly. My mouth opens to reply, but no words come out. I'm in shock. It's been a little over 9 years. He's the same, but he's not. "H_how have you been?" I say stuttering a little. "I've been good. How are you?" Our eyes meet for a split second, there's something there, I don't know what it is, but his eyes are trying to say something. "I've been.. Good." I shrug. I'm not lying, but I suppose right now, things could be better. What else could I say? Oh, me and your old best friend, you know that one that betrayed you? Yeah well him, we kinda had a fight, because we were about to have sex, and he didn't want to use a condom, he wants more kids, I don't. So I've been searching for him. I can't find him though. Yeah. No. I won't say that. "Where's Logan?" He says looking around. Ugh, what am I supposed to say? "Oh, he.. He will be back soon. He went for a walk." Such a bad liar. "Want some company, while you stroll around?" He says so innocently. I know I shouldn't, but I can trust myself, and Logan should know he can trust me too. So I just nod, and we begin to walk. Little does Kate know, meeting Rome after 10 years, will begin a rollercoaster ride. One that brings the good, the bad, the ugly, and a wolf in sheep's clothing.

"All's fair in love and war, or some shit, right?" He said, his smirk drawing to a slight sneer as he padded towards the open balcony. He rested his hands on the guardrail before letting out an exasperated sigh, thunder rolling behind it. The rain cascaded onto the tile in sheets, blowing the soft cream curtains back and forth. "Or some shit." I smiled, walking towards him. I could see the tension grow in his back and shoulders, his struggle evident. I placed my hand gently on his shoulder, trying my best to reassure him. I could feel his breathing hitch slightly at my touch; his response was all I needed to reassure me I was doing the right thing. My touch was welcomed. I leaned my head on his back, wrapping my hands around his waist. I longed to take away his pain; I hated seeing anyone this upset. She wasn't worth his time. He said so himself- he's never found a woman worth changing plans for. Maybe he meant since her, I can't be sure. I am, however, hoping to show him that, one day, that woman might be me. ****** Jeanie is a spunky assistant living in Atlanta. With a spotty past and a knack for telling it like it is, she's found herself stuck with a string of dead-end jobs and nothing to show for her sacrifices.

With the start of a new job, she moved thousands of miles from her home- from her past. Join her as she discovers the most important relationship she'll ever have- the one with herself. *This story contains mature situations and lots of swearing, proceed with caution.

"I know it won't fix anything, but for right now it helps me forget" "You can't keep running away or hiding. In the end it all catches up." "You sound like you've been through this before." "I guess you could say that." "You want me to open up to you, but are you ever going to open up to me? I want to get to know you Tyler, but you are so closed off. You know why I got knocked over by that wave? Because I was watching you, I was watching your face and seeing how free you felt riding that wave. It's the only time I've ever seen you let go. You know that someone hurt me, but I think you have been hurt too. When you're ready to talk, I'll be waiting. Maybe we can help each other." "Maybe I'm not worth getting to know" he replied.
