When you think about the city what do you imagine.
Most people see traffic, crowed sidewalks, to many people and Pollution.
What I see is the beauty. The people that love there city. The beauty of the building. The mothers taking there children to daycare.
Sometimes I think about how my life would be with out living in New York.
I don't think I would be the same girl I am now. I don't think I would be who I am. This city is what makes me; me.
But everything I thought was completely wrong.

Violet's Delight
"Well then. That's the first time a girl has ever rejected my close proximity," he said, eyes ablaze with a playful fire. "You better get used to it," I retorted as I spun on my heel and headed for the school doors that led to the outside. "I've never met anyone like you before," he called after me, this time, not coming after me. "I know, Romeo. I'm a special little snowflake," I called back, not turning around. "You got the 'little' part right there, Princess!" he shouted after me. I threw up my middle finger back to him and heard him laugh as I exited out the doors rather dramatically. ... I'm tired of all those high school stories about a straight-A girl student with the perfect life who falls for the stereotypical Mr. Bad Boy who wears leather black jackets and only has a soft spot for her. That's not how the real world works, sweetheart. I may look like a damsel, but I'm never in distress. ... Not me making fun of the "she's not like every other girl" trope <3 o.o :)) I like to think I'm funny. After all: #3 in amusement 10/22/22 #1 in banter 10/31/22 #3 in friendship 11/7/22Complete

Two broken souls in the midst of a crazy world. Two souls running away from their past. There was no light at the end of the tunnel. The tunnel was cracking, slowly closing in. When these two connect, as if they were set on the same path, light creeps in through the cracks, and for or a moment, the tunnel seems to have a way out, but what if it collapses before they make it? - "You saved my life." The words come out as a whisper, I've been dying to say that. I thank god every day that he came into my life when he did. "Fuck Vivian, you don't know how much I needed you." I tear up just a little as he speaks, I don't know the last time I cried happy tears. I bring my hands up to cup his cheeks, resting my forehead against his. "No matter how much I push, I don't mean it. Please don't give up on me." My words seem to relieve him in some way as I feel his shoulders relax. "Even when I'm gone, I'll be by your side, forever." He brings his hand, sticking his pinky out. "pinky promise."I wrap mine around his, placing a kiss on his lips. Warning before you read!! This is my first book! This book will contain topics of SA, eating disorders, and mature content, if any of these things may bother you in anyway, please scroll! I hope when I finish this book I can public a clean version, with a different perspective leaving out these topics, but for now, this is how i've envisioned this story to go! Enjoy -Ash🌸
Silence covers lies
I have recently moved to a big city and I don't like it. It is the exact place where you can feel like an insect. Every building is like a beehive and no creature differs from another. We all think about ourselves as unique which makes no-one special really, but calms the soul. Makes us believe that eventually something great has to come our way. Movies always have a happy ending in the sleeve for the main character. If cities are full of people feeling like protagonists then who deserves to be in a fairytale? I am here because I thought I had it all figured out. Successful boyfriend and a study place at university, but it was all set to collapse.Complete

My name is Jack and in my opinion being the leader of a gang is a form of character building because it gives you a responsibility. My parents think I should get out of the gangs and just settle down in school, maybe get a girlfriend but to be honest I just do not see the appeal of it. None of the girls at school are interesting enough and they all come across as too needy. I hook up with some of them now and again but it never goes further than that because when it does things just get complicated. That kind of relationship is my worst nightmare..... Angie is the definition of a nightmare Even if I did settle down with a girl at school, it would not go anywhere because most of the parents think that I am a bad influence. They think I am someone out to steal the innocence of every girl in the god damn city. I am not like that at school..... I am a big softy at heart. That is what my mom says anyway... I guess I am just waiting for someone that can break through my hard exterior.Complete

"Get in" comes out his voice, and I must've stood there agape for a few moments because next comes his rhetorical question. "Are you getting in or continuing walking in the rain?" Eyebrows raised expectantly.

Running from the gang
In life, we do things we regret, or that we wish we could wipe from our memory forever. At the age of 15, I didn't think I'd regret anything until I was an adult. I considered myself care free. I lived life one day at a time. Well, as much as a 15 year old can. But in life, there are also things that we can't change, that we can't forget. Circumstances change, events occur, and life as we know it is altered forever. For me, it was one night, that set in motion a series of events that I wouldn't be able to forget, even if I tried to. *************************** My life was spectacular, or cool, but I was content, and that's all that mattered. I wasn't overly popular, I wasn't the prettiest girl, and I didn't live in a mansion. I did have a great boyfriend, and amazing friends, and hell, I wasn't doing too bad in school either. But that all changed one night, as I was walking home at night. I witnessed a man murder someone he claimed was a snitch, something to do with a gang deal gone wrong. When I found my parents dead the next day in a serial killers wet dream, my naive self decided the best thing I could do, was run, giving up everything I loved. After 2 years, 3 dead members of the gang and a new school, I was found. When secrets are unraveled and with the FBI somehow involved, nothing is as it ever seemed.Complete
