This is an essay I wrote for my Lifestyles of Non-Violence class my freshman year of college. We had to write about a place that was a sort of safe haven for us. I chose to write about my grandmother's birthplace, a place I have come to love: Ireland.

The Trap (Trapped Prequel)
Looking back, I should have seen it coming. Paige didn’t like that I went so far away to university. But it was going to only be for two years. She'd join me after she did her two years at community college. I thought we could swing that no problem. We were solid. But she hated the distance. She hated not seeing me every day. She complained that I didn’t come home enough. She hated that for months on end, texting and phone calls were our only form of communication. It wasn’t enough. She'd ask about the girls on campus. She’d gotten it into her head that girls were always making a play for me. I laughed and told her, even if that were true, I’d never cheat on her. She didn't seem completely reassured by that. The bottom line is, Paige thought she was losing me. She wanted me home with her. But I could never imagine the level she'd sink to—the trap she’d set to make that happen. And like an idiot I walked right into it. And it’s a mistake I'm going to have to pay for the rest of my life.Complete

Despite her fractured heart, her love for Garren is as consuming as it is unrequited, but she refuses to let him-or anyone-see the cracks beneath her glowing exterior. ♱ 𝙂𝙖𝙧𝙧𝙚𝙣 𝙆𝙖𝙫𝙖𝙣𝙖𝙜𝙝, the adopted brother of the rugby sensation, Johnny Kavanagh, has an undeniable streak of leaving women heartbroken, partying until the sun comes up, and disregarding even the thought of a relationship. Though, he'd be lying if he said that Delancey Gibson wouldn't be able to walk him like a dog, despite not being a couple-Garren is fiercely protective over baby Gibs, though nothing would ever be able to happen between them. But denying what he really feels is starting to take its toll, and the forbidden fruit might just prove too tempting to resist. male!oc! x female!oc!
