"Nick what are you doing?" I ask him as I walk into his room and lounge on his bed.
"Nothing, Rae," Nick sighs before he closes the journal he was writing in and turns in his desk chair to face me.
"That didn't look like nothing to me," I pry a little more, trying to get a better response out of him.
Nick leans back into his desk before resting his head in his palm, "Have you ever thought that there's more to our lives than this?"
"What are you talking about?" I furrow my brows, hoping he will elaborate.
"I'm talking about this," he says as he motions to his room, "I'm talking about you and me and our lives in Rehoboth."
"Okay," I look at him somewhat skeptically. Has he lost his mind?
"Maybe you'll get it in a few years," he says while he stands up and walks towards me before staring me deep in the eyes, "People always tell others what to do and who to be, but what if I don't want that? What if I want something else?"
"Then do what you want," I shrug. What in the world has brought this on?
"It's easier said than done," he continues to look at me, "I need to find myself before others find it for me."

Before Euphoria, There was Dawn
Previously known as 'My next-door neighbour.' Euphoria is a state of well being or excitement. Dawn is the brink of daylight. In life, before we have achieved our satisfaction, happiness, and overcome our pain, we must go through our darkest times. We must hover in the middle before we can finally settle. Tess and Josh are the perfect examples of the not so basic life of teens who have to overcome their dawn before reaching euphoria. ~^~^~^~^~^~ "Hey, you," he whispered. "Hey to you too, raccoon boy," I whispered back. "Is this nickname going to become a thing?" "You bet it is. You call me Sunshine, so I'll call you raccoon boy." He shook his head and I laughed. "What am I going to do with you?" I placed my paintbrush down and stared into his intense green eyes. "You're going to get me a burger because I'm starving." He gave me the 'Are you serious look,' and I giggled. I shooed him away with my hands, and he sighed. "I'll go get the burger," he mumbled. ~^~^~^~^~^~ All rights reserved.

I approached the curtains on the large and long windows and gently touched them. "May I help you?" a tall figure asked with his hands In his pockets.

"Do you really think you can scare me?" she challenged. "Scare you? Little bird, I'm not here to scare you. I'm here to own you." "You can't just-" "Can't just what? Want you? Desire you?" "I fucking crave you, Isabella. Every thought I have is about you. Do you know what that's like?" She took a step back, but Renzo was on her in an instant, his fingers curling around her throat, pulling her closer. His touch burned through her skin, sending a shiver down her spine. "You don't get it, do you?" "You're mine. Every breath you take, every smile you give, it all belongs to me." She tried to pull away, but his grip tightened, not enough to hurt, but enough to remind her who was in control. "Let me go, Renzo." "Let you go? Never. I'll chain myself to you before I let you go." "What if I don't want to be owned?" "You don't get a choice in this, Bella. You're going to be mine, in every way. You can fight it, or you can accept it, but either way, you're not going anywhere." "Renzo..." "I'll give you the world, Bella. I'll build you a fucking heaven, and if you want to turn it into hell, I'll burn with you. But one thing's for sure-you're never leaving me."

When Stars Align
"You have got to be kidding me" he utters suddenly. "What?" i ask and follow his line of sight down to the ground floor front desk. "Angelo? What's wrong" i ask again, concern creeping into me as I put my hand over his on the table. "Nothing's wrong baby. Just that my sisters are here" he turns to look at me and turns his hand over, so that he grips mine comfortingly. "Oh....oh! Ok, well, we are done here right?" i ask rhetorically, referring to our meal, then pull my hand free and reach for my purse. "Yeah, calm down. It's ok, i just wasn't expecting them to show up here" he says softly, when he notices me getting ready to leave. "No worries" i stand up anyway. "What are you doing?" He asks, alarmed. "Leaving, i will see you later, yeah?" "Marianne, sit down" His eyes narrow at me in an intimidating manner, but i don't cower. "Sit down" he says again, even more assertively. "I am not meeting any more of your family." I mutter. "Sit down! this is not funny" he says under his breath, trying not to bring too much attention to our table, when i look just about ready to leave. "Thank you for lunch..bye" i whisper and go down the other way from the direction his sisters are now coming to our floor on. I don't turn around to see the look on Angelo's face, but i can feel his heated gaze as it drills holes into my back. ********* When the stars align, and Angelo Morreli meets Marianne Wright, Angelo is drawn to her by something he can't explain, like a light shining in the hidden darkness that is in his World...for Mary, he is an enigma, capable of drawing her out of her comfort zone, she knows right away that she should run the opposite direction fast.......and Never.

Run Away With Me
"Fishy kisses are better than kisses," I say, the words coming out of nowhere, "and like that, two people together are better than marriage." "What are you talking about?" "Nothing really," I sigh, hunching over myself more to trap the warmth, "it's just..." "Just?" "...I'm tired of this world, being judged for something you can't control, molded by peoples opinion, it's sickening." I glance at him, gauging his expression, he didn't have any. A crazy idea enters my head. "Hey, let's run away together, from society," I breathe, pausing for a bit, "maybe it's cowardly, maybe it's foolish, but I don't want to be defined by people who don't know me," maybe the cold is getting to me, "run away with me." * Loopie didn't expect that the single shine of hope that finally shone came in the form of a silent and mysterious werewolf. Nao didn't quite understand how his fate entangled with that of the trouble-magnet rascal. But with a bit of family feud and the need for something stable, this arrangement might very well work for the both of them. ~~~ First installment of the Invalid series.Complete
Let's Play Pretend - by seasandsalt
"So," she starts, one hand holding her bag and the other coming up to rest on Nick's shoulder. "How long have you two been together?" What? He's taken aback, uncomfortable under her touch and wanting to brush her hand off his shoulder, completely and utterly confused by her words. Together? Does she think they're dating? Nick starts, "oh, we're not actually-" Dream cuts him off. "We've known each other for about nine years, but got together four or five months ago." What the fuck? or; Dream invites Nick on a seemingly innocent vacation aboard a cruise ship. Nick realizes that Dream's family is under the impression that their relationship is much more than just friendly. He also realizes that they have to keep up the lie for the entire trip. © seasandsalt, 2021 This story is NOT MINE. THIS STORY BELONGS TO seasaltsand ON AO3 ALL CREDIT GOES TO THEM!
