Look, I wasn't here for some grand adventure. I moved to New York, got lost a bunch of times, snapped my neck looking at pretty men on the daily, and somehow still managed to be late to work every single time. Life was normal-chaotic, but normal.
And then one night, my friends dragged me to some play. I lost them in the crowd, made a wrong turn, and somehow ended up face-to-face with him. Milo Manheim. I wasn't a die-hard fan or anything, but I knew who he was. And apparently, he had no problem acting like we were besties. A quick chat, a picture, a moment that should've just been that-just a moment. But something about it stuck.
I wasn't looking for anything special. But maybe New York had other plans.
YES, these are very short chapters, just like the title, it's a diary. Sometimes they'll be longer, also, some are actually based in my experience living in New York💔.
Important note in first chapterrrrr
Another Important note : The beautiful girl in the cover is not me, I saw the video in tik tok and found the picture on Pinterest, the credit belongs to her, but I covered her face because I didn't feel comfortable putting it out here.

My Teddy
The corner of his mouth tilts upward slightly. I smile again. A smile!? A tiny one, but still. "Hm. So I got you to smile, that's progress, yeah? Can I get your name now?" I ask, swinging my feel a little. He shakes his head shyly, his mouth not moving at all. Geez! Why do I want to hear this dude talk so much? "Okay, that's fine. I can give you a nickname." I offer happily. He looks up from his book, raising his eyebrows. I just stare for a moment. He has nice eyes. Pretty brown chocolate orbs. They remind me so much of....... "Teddy." He shakes his head immediately, frowning. "What, why not? You remind me of my old teddy bear. He was a good listener and he didn't talk much..... just like you." I say softly, tilting my head. He continues to shake his head. I fold my arms, leaning back in my seat. "Yeah, it's definitely sticking. Teddy.....It has a nice ring to it, yeah?" He sighs, the first sound I have ever heard him make. "No." . . . *Jordan* Teddy!? Seriously!? She gave me a fucking NICKNAME!? What the hell does this girl want!? I stuff my hands into my pockets, walking down the busy street. Forget about her. She's just a annoying pretty girl, she'll go away. Everybody does. She HAS to go away. *Spoiler alert*: she doesn't. Don't get close to people or they'll end up getting hurt. That's my mindset. I've been through enough of that. This girl doesn't belong in my world anyway. She's too innocent. *Mature content* {Just a quick update, I am basically rewriting the story.

I can't stand you.
COMPLETED!!! here's a snip bit ! "Hey Belle" he said with a cheeky smile. I look up and give him the fakest smile i can put on "did my constant harasser also become my stalker?" i said referring to him saying my name before looking back at my computer. He sat down next to me. "Not a stalker or a harasser just an acquaintance" he said before continuing "also i got your name from your friend, also let her know i do not want her please and thank you" he said before getting up "she doesn't want you either" i responded not moving my eyes from the screen "definitely not what she said last night" he said flashing me a smile which i rolled my eyes to. I was sincerely praying he was grabbing his stuff to go so i wouldn't have another interaction with him, but of course not. His friend left and he came back and sat by me. "I'm trying to do homework can you please go somewhere else" i said in a heavily annoyed tone. "See i would, but one i think you like me too much to actually want me to leave" he said before i cut him off "i don't" he laughed before continuing "this next part is really gonna suck then" he said pausing obviously waiting for a reaction out of me which i don't give him. "fine. you're no fun. we have to schedule our tutoring times" he said before nudging me "i'm your first student to tutor surprise!" he said in a tone that i can only describe as annoying because that's all he is, is annoying. I look up at his face that's gleaming with joy purely because i'm annoyed.Complete

For The Press
Asher rolls his eyes and then turns back to me. "One more." He leans back in and kisses me for a second, biting my lip and then pulling away. He leans his forehead against mine and breathes deeply. "I don't think I can fucking contain myself tonight if you're gonna look like that."

How To Hate A Heartthrob
For most of my life, I was basically invisible. I could've jumped off a building yelling, "Hey guys, I'm going to jump!" and the world would've just... kept scrolling. I wasn't depressed or anything - just tired of being unnoticed. It would've been nice if someone, anyone, looked my way. But after a while, I got used to it. No attention meant no distractions. No judgment. Just me, my cat, cookies, and my best friend Naomi against the world. My plan was simple: survive high school, glow up in college, find my Prince Charming, and drive off into the sunset in a pink Volkswagen Beetle. (Don't judge me. That's my dream car.) But then he showed up. Alexander Collins - the new kid. Arrogant, annoying, frustratingly good-looking. The kind of boy who ruins your peace just by existing. Somehow, he's made it his life mission to get under my skin. And even though I swear I hate him... part of me can't help but wonder if maybe being noticed by him isn't so bad. --------- This is my first story, I hope you enjoy it. I'll be honestly I'm not good at writing at ALL, but I've been wanting to pick up a hobby So I apologize in advance for my terrible grammar, and for most likely a cringy book. But I hope you enjoy:) #romcom #romance #comedy #YAlove #adultromance

"Who. the fuck. invited. you?" Daniel asked as he stalked towards me. I didn't see what the big problem was, it was a public party, anyone could show up if they damn well wanted to. I wasn't sure how to respond with his face so close to mine, after all this time. I could feel his breath fanning me, and there was nothing but hatred in his eyes. "I did." Seth spoke from behind him right as I opened my mouth to say something. There was a moment of silence as Daniel glared at his best friend, then back to me. He stood up straight and continued to look into my eyes. "You got off easy this time." He walked away, and the party went back to normal.
That night...✓
"So?" He looked confused. "She's y- your-" I gulped. "My what Aurora?!" He exclaimed angrily. I jumped. "Don't raise your voice at me! She's your daughter! The one night stand created her!" I yelled but not loud enough for any one else to hear. "What the-" he paused and looked at Ivory. I watched him silently. He turned to me again. "Would you say something?" I asked getting nervous. "What do you want me to fucking say?" He asked. "I don't know....." I trailed off. Humans make mistakes..... right? Yes, so therefore three people made mistakes that night. Logan made the first mistake. He cheated on Aurora. Aurora made the next mistake. She drank to forget the mistake Logan made. Ethan, the school's bad boy made the last mistake. He slept with Aurora without a condom. You know what that means yea? You're right, a baby comes. Ivory comes. (Baby gender revealed 😑) Aurora didn't tell the bad boy she was pregnant for him. But now she has the baby and she has to tell him right? I mean it's the only sane thing to do DNA is one of the solutions of course but not when the child looks exactly like Ethan. 😉. The bad boy is obviously not the most sociable person so it wasn't easy of course. For heaven's sake he doesn't even know this girl. But y'all agree that it's not easy to remember a one night stand when you've had many? Well....he remembered actually. Let's get into the story peeps!!!! See you there 😊Complete
The Swan 2: Taking Flight
*COMPLETE*** "You're not playing fair," I whispered, shuddering when I felt his lips and the stubble on his jaw brush against the side of my neck. "I don't recall making rules," he said, lifting his head, our noses nearly touching as he stared into my eyes. "If there aren't rules, then I can't be playing unfair." "Friends don't talk this close," I said as he took a step closer. "Or touch this much." "Friends also don't respond to their friends' touch the way you are to mine," he said, bringing his hand up to my jaw and tilting my face up towards his, his lips centimeter from mine. "I personally think you set our friendship up for failure by assuming our connection could be ignored. I've never been good at friendship anyway, I say we try something I could do better at." "What could you do better at, Milo?" I asked, a shaky breath escaping me as his lips leaned in closer and only turned away from mine at the last minute. His lips brushed against my ear as his hand moved to the back of my head, threading through my hair as he whispered. "Us." Emery has been in Europe the last eight months. She deals with the challenges of being a growing star with sometimes overly interested fans and people coming back in her life now that she's succeeding. Not only that, she had to nurse a broken heart with her lover, Milo, and was doing the best she could, so good she met someone new. It seemed the new man in her life was more than enough for her feelings for Milo to dissipate, or at least she thought, until Milo contacts her. Milo's been going through some intensive personal growth as his psychologist works with him on some unresolved issues and challenges that went undiagnosed when Milo was a child. Milo is in the process of learning to break free from poisonous words that filled his head as a child. Through it all he had one goal in sight: to be well enough to be with Emery. He works up the courage to contact her but finds a lot can change in a few months.Complete
