As a suitcase rattles down the sidewalk I start to relax. The smokey scent of night time fills my lungs and I exhale slowly. I rest my head on my hands.
I'm always up late. It helps me sort out my thoughts, and I feel calm.
Usually though, I don't have anyone to talk to. So when a window on the other side of the street opens, and I suddenly I gain a companion, it's hard to adjust at first. As I get to know this person better, nights seem to get shorter and I long for a glance in daytime.

Hunter or Prey?
Where am I? I wake up with no memory of the night before or how I got to this place. I don't even know what place this is. I hear the howl of a wolf and stagger to the window. What the hell? This isn't the city, just where the hell am I? The darkness closes in and I welcome the dark oblivion. Perhaps this is just a nightmare? Then I laugh to myself, I'd prefer the nightmare to my life. Perhaps this time I won't wake up?Complete

Ex Hopeless Romantic, Jongsang
There was so many times where I felt like I was the problem. Although I craved it, I yearned for it, I had learned to suppress the urge to reach out and grab someone's hand or to accept the warm movement such as a hug or a favor. I'm capable of doing things my self and do not need someone who will do it all the time when I need it. Even if it's just tying my shoe, I can do it myself. Just me, myself, and the things I collect. -Ex hopeless romantic PS. I've collected lots of missed opportunities updates sundays
BROKEN HOPE (Lucas & Emilia Book 2)
I was so damn naive it's no wonder I've ended up here. Kidnapped by the man who promised me forever, just as I'd begun to understand the depths of his betrayal. It's a sad truth I didn't marry my husband for love. I married him for the life he promised to provide, and if I'm honest with myself, I married him in hopes one day he'd fill the void Lucas-my first love-left behind. Now after so many years, they're both back. And in my desperation to feel loved, to be wanted and chosen I've walked straight into this trap. All because I forgot life's harshest lesson... I'm not enough. No matter how much or how fiercely I love, the choice will never be me. Especially now. Surrounded by danger and at the mercy of my husband's enemies, I'm forced to face one final bit of truth. Much like love, hope is for the weak. I was a fool to believe in the vows and promises they made. In the Broken Redemption Series, one man's vow to protect the woman he lost becomes a battle between redemption, forgiveness, and the kind of love that refuses to let go. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is Book 2 of Lucas & Emilia's Broken Redemption arc. For the complete experience, start with Book 1: Broken Vows.Complete
The Girl Who Jumped
I stood on the edge of the rooftop. My eyes closed and my mind free. I'm ready. Now is the time. I could feel my breath quickening, Breathe in, Breathe out. I slowly start to gain composure of my thoughts. I can hear the people on the ground. I can see them entering the building in their perfect dresses with their perfect hair. I look down at my Royal Blue gown and smile. It's time. I slowly exhale and let myself fall. I'm free. Well, that's what I thought when I jumped, but the world hates me. So now.

SAVED ☆ Bang Chan [COMPLETED]
I screwed up. I mean, really screwed up. I don't remember a time where I haven't screwed up, but this feels like I've gone past the point of no return. I've always thought that people wouldn't care. Wouldn't care if I suddenly dissappeared off the face of the earth. They wouldn't care if I was being beaten senseless on the ground. No one has ever cared, and I don't believe they ever will. Not really. Sometimes people just need a reminder. A reminder that they're worth it and that they're not alone. Some people just need a person they can trust. Some people are just so far gone that there's no saving them. How sad it is that I'm one of the latter. Trigger warnings: self harm, suicidal thoughts/attempt, depression, abusive parents, trauma, abuse, self destruction etc. Click on my profile to read SAVED 2.Complete
