Some mistakes have the ability to haunt you for the rest of your life. Sara Jamison made a big one for ever trusting her former boyfriend and letting him into her life. As much as she tries she can't seem to get away from her past and move on. Everything reminds her of him. Memories of their past life are always running through her head and the special way he loved her imprinted on her body. She has gotten through her life keeping people, especially her sister, at a distance with her sarcasm and humor and accepted her life the way it is.

But when she least expects it she meets Chris, and she wants to let go of the past and everything holding her back, but it always seems to be a barrier between them and one she can't seem to climb over or escape. She thought she knew love, but she realizes she had it all wrong. But the more she keeps her secrets to herself the bigger they seem to grow and control her future.  She thought she was done with her past but what happens when it comes back to haunt you? She knows she must face it if she ever truly wants to be happy, but suddenly she has to decide if that happiness is worth dying for... 

Sara has felt two completely different loves in her lifetime, but both of them carry a weight that hurts to feel. The first, a desperate, painful kind of love. The other, a selfless, all-consuming love that runs so deep it hurts. If only she knew the consequences of both.

Waiting Until Dawn {Mike Monroe x Reader} by FandomQuack

"Back to this hellhole, huh?" "I wouldn't call it a hellhole" He mutters. "Oh, but I would." I snap harshly. He almost flinches. "(Y/n), I'm sorry. It wasn't supposed to get out of hand like that..." I cut him off. "I know. But I can't believe you would ever think of doing that. It's cruel!" He looks away in shame. "I'm sorry." He says again. "It's not me you should have apologized to." I say, hot tears threatening to spill. I didn't know who to feel about him. I was so completely in love with him, maybe I still am, but they were my best friends. I just wish everything could have been different.

Burning Passion by LuxeInkedbyTee

"Kassauni, there is more to life than continuous pain and suffering. I am sure you know that, and no one is asking you to go through it alone," She told me. I took a long drag from the blunt and held it in my lungs before releasing it. "Whatever yah talk 'bout sound like a fairy tale and mi nuh want yuh feel like me is a problem fi yuh fix," I stated, staring into her eyes. She frowned, deeply. "You need to talk to someone, or me. I am here for you if you need anything." Her voice came out softer than usual. "Rosalia, left that. It nuh concern yuh," I told her. She hissed her teeth and slapped the blunt out of my hand. "Mi try talk to yuh, but if yuh nah go at least try to get help then mi nuh need fi deh here. Stay by yuhself since a that yuh fucking want." She turned and started walking away. // He was abandoned by his parents. Time and time again they let him down, not realizing that each time it was draining him. He isn't the most sentimental guy, probably one of the most nonchalant and controlling people you've ever met. She was sweet and came from what people would call the perfect family. In a short time, she made him indecisive and question himself. Peeled away every armor he had shielding his insecurities. She broke him but stood by him while he rebuilt himself into a better man. The man he always wanted to be. The man he knew she deserved. _______________________________ - Mature Content (18+) - Violence

Happy Endings Aren't True. #theliteraryawards2017 by FatimaBabar5

Previously known as Behind The Mask. Warning: I wrote this book five years ago when I was thirteen, there are ALOT of spelling/grammar mistakes. At times there might be jokes which are stupid as hell and there will be so many plot holes it will hurt but with that being said this is the first book I ever wrote which is why i'm not deleting it. _____________ Funny isnt it? The person you once used to know, doesn't remember you. The person you now love, leaves you. All Ashley wants to do now is give up, but will Thomas let her do that without knowing what is going on behind that blinding smile of hers. ______________ Not At All Your Average Cliche. Just give this book a chance. Contains strong language read at your own risk and please do not copy my story it is illegal and I will make you pay.

Sorry, I Love You! by eliza_s

There's a difference between being alone and lonely. ~~~~~~ "Why does love hurt? "Because......if it doesn't hurt then it isn't love." I replied. ~~~~~ Eugene Hansen - He is rich and has everything one could wish for life; name, fame, money, and good looks except for that one thing he craves the most: LOVE. He masks his pain and loneliness behind his attitude and arrogance but if you take a close look at him, you will know how much he yearns to love and to be loved in return. Abigail Devon - She is not rich. She doesn't live a lavish lifestyle. For her life has always been hard and full of struggle. But, she never shows it on her face. She masks her pain behind her smile, kind behavior and easy going nature. She yearns for love but because of the hardships she has gone through, she is afraid to take that leap. They are poles apart but when they come to stand face-to-face, their life takes a complete 360. They don't have anything in common; from their social status to their behavior, they are the perfect example of the word 'Opposite'. Despite that fact, there is one thing that's common between them: They both have lost their loved ones. Will this one common fact bring them closer or will it separate them forever? Join Abigail and Eugene on their journey to find true love through a path that contains a lot of fun, fights, a lifetime friendships, hardships, hatred, but most of all - love and hurt because of which they cannot help but say "Sorry, I Love You."
