"Wrong apartment," Awsten said, failing to keep his voice steady because what the fuck someone was in his apartment with a knife.
"I don't think so." His accent caught Awsten off-guard. Australian. In Los Angeles. Awsten vaguely recalled having an Australian neighbor-Michael maybe-but they'd never met and now he wished it'd stayed that way.
----
In which Michael breaks into Awsten's apartment with a knife and Awsten's few boxing lessons might not be enough to save him.

"We shouldn't, ur my brothers bestfriend" "Shh sweetheart..relax let it happen" _________________________________________ _________________________________________ Danielle's Perspective: Coming home from a stressful day working at the café, she expected nothing more than an early night and some much-needed quiet. But instead, she heard an unfamiliar voice. Her brother and his best friend were there - and the moment she saw him, her heart pounded with an interest she didn't expect, a spark that made her pulse race and her thoughts spiral in ways she wasn't prepared for. Levi's Perspective: I decided to stop by a friend's place, just to play around and unwind, grabbing a glass of water from the kitchen. He reminds me his sister should be walking in anytime, and curiosity has me intrigued to meet her. And then I hear the faintest footsteps, soft but deliberate, and there she is - everything I hadn't realized I was looking for, stepping into the room and instantly holding my attention. ___________________________________________ ___________________________________________ ©️H3artzbreaker
A Stalker's Passion
"CHARLIE!" His screams were getting closer until I saw him completely. I grabbed the knife and pointed it straight at him. "Get away from me!" I say warning him His face was red and he still stalked towards me slowly. "GET AWAY FROM ME!" I yell fearing the fact that didn't look scared at all. "Put the knife down." I started to back up a bit still pointing the knife at him. "I'm not telling you again, put it down NOW!" His calm persona was instantly replaced with a furious one. "Please Tho-" He came charging straight at me but I made a run for it. I ran as fast as I could with him behind me until he tackled me to the floor. The knife flew across the hallway and he was on top of me. "Thomas please let me go. I don't want to be here. Please." I say begging "You're ruining everything. It was so perfect and special just for you and you're ruining it." I can tell he was sad but more pissed off this anything. "WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME?! I LOVE YOU MORE THAN ANYTHING AND THIS IS HOW YOU REPAY ME!" He screamed in my face. "I-" "SHUT YOUR DAMN MOUTH!" He roars slapping me across the face. He roughly picks me up and drags me to the room. He yanked me away from him making me fall hit my knee on the hard wood floor. He walked in the bathroom to get something and I realized it something to put me to sleep. He poured the chemical into the towel as he mumbled to himself and I watched in fear. He pulled me from the ground and tried to make me breathe in. I fought the urge to. I thrashed back and forth trying to get free but nothing worked. Slowly, my vision got blurry and felt darkness overtake me.Complete

The Devil Of Innocence (#2)
(𝘉𝘖𝘖𝘒 𝘛𝘞𝘖 𝘐𝘕 𝘛𝘏𝘌 𝙁𝙍𝘼𝘾𝙏𝙐𝙍𝙀𝘿 𝘛𝘙𝘐𝘓𝘖𝘎𝘠) εꨄ︎з 𝐀𝐌𝐀𝐘𝐀 𝐇𝐀𝐘𝐀𝐒𝐇𝐈 has spent her entire life trying to earn a freedom she was never meant to have. Kept under her mother's control for as long as she can remember, she's finally given a chance to leave it all behind. All she has to do is infiltrate the people responsible for the massacre of her clan, earn the trust of their leader, and kill him. Simple. At least, that's what she tells herself. But the closer she gets to Rowan Adams, the less anything makes sense. Faces linger a second too long. Places feel strangely familiar.

𝐑𝐎𝐖𝐀𝐍 𝐀𝐃𝐀𝐌𝐒 is the last person anyone would expect to carry the weight he does. He's loud, sarcastic, impossible to shut up, and always the first to make someone laugh. It's easier that way. Easier than letting anyone see what's buried deep underneath. Then Amaya walks into his life. She was supposed to be just another stranger. Instead, she becomes the one person he can't stop thinking about. The one person he'd bleed for without hesitation. The only problem is that she came to destroy him. εꨄ︎з STARTED: July 2022 FINISHED: April 2023Complete
