anxiety bully fight flight girl guy highschool love popularity prankster teenfiction

You know that feeling where anxiety claws at your throat and suddenly you can't breathe? You try to suck in even just a little bit of air but it never makes it past the lump in your throat? 

Well that's the feeling I get when Oliver Pickett looks at me. And I mean really looks at me.

Just his stare leaves me incapable of performing basic functions. I can't move, I can't talk, all I can do is stare back into his beautiful hazel eyes. 

Because in that moment he's all I see, all I think about, all I want. And that scares me. 

I never planned on falling in love, but then again love is never planned. It's something that happens suddenly with no warning. One day you just wake up and know. And it hits you like a brick in the face.

Sometimes my fight or flight system goes into overdrive and I just want to run. But he holds me back, and teaches me how to fight. Because in this world you have to fight for things. And that takes just a little bit of confidence.

Hello just a warning there is talks of suicide, drug use and foul language. Struggle with mental health and many more. So please read at your own risk My mind immediately flashed to that image I still can't get out of my head. I look around and suddenly I can't breath. No matter how much I tired I just couldn't get air. My chest was hyperventilating. I tried to breath in fact the sound emulating from my lips suggested I was breathing to fast. I stood leaning against the table for support. I couldn't be here right now. "Rose!?!" Chealse yelled. Then just like that my body hit the ground. When I woke up there was chaos around the lunch room. "Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!" The crowd cheered. I sat up from my laid position to find Greyson's worried face kneeling down by my side. I look around to see a crowd forming in a circle. "What's going on?" I ask. "Chelase and Abby are fighting Sam." Benjamin spoke. "What!?!" I yelled. Benjamin eyes held worry. Greyson looked as if he wanted to say something. His mouth kept opening and closing. I stood from my seated position pushing through the crowd. When I got in front I found Abby repeatedly punching Sam in the face. Chelase held her arms so she was defenceless. Abby looked so scary in this moment. She looked like she could kill her with just a glance. Chelase let her arms go and when she did Jessica came in arms swinging. Then the blond girl attacked. It was three against two. The odds weren't looking good. So I did what I do best. I threw my hair in a ponytail and marched right in there.

I'll Love You Till the End di krissygirl

So I have this thing. Some people would call it a catastrophe; some would call it heart breaking. It also has the name of disease, and heart killer. I call it just cancer. Simple enough as it is, right? Doesn't help that I already had it once before, it just came back to fight harder as ever. I thought it was over. Isn't it though? Don't you give up at that point? Senior year and I'm ready to end my life as a person all together. I'm tired of fighting and might as well give up because there are no chances of me living all together. So as a smart choice I move so when I die no one will know me or care about me. Wouldn't that be the logical choice? I don't want pity. Never liked, never will. So don't tell anyone I have cancer. Ever. Doesn't help that a boy started getting involved with me and snuck under my skin before I even realized what he was doing. What changed me were those few, simple words all together. "I'll love you till the end." That, that was about the time I started caring about life again. And it was all because of him.

Finding Purpose (+18) ✔️ di ZaynismRules

***this book contains suicidal thoughts and tendencies, may not be appropriate for younger audiences*** In which she looks for the purpose of life. Lily Carter's parents died in a car crash leaving her and Laura, girl was depressed long before her parents passed away and with all the problems turning up now, Lily felt more miserable - if that's even possible. With her journey to look for life's purpose and grab the small pinch of HOPE - which is ironically her second name -, will she finally snap at the pressure and finally end it all? or will a small light lit her darkened world of grief and loneliness? * "So you know. The little goth girl who gets bullied is indeed a mess. There's this mess in her head that eats her alive everyday isn't it? What to do now Kaden? Tell the whole neighborhood and recieve an award for taking out a crazy in this world?" I spit like vomit. His eyes warmed up as I finished, "Lily. It isn't like that" "What is it then? People stopped caring... they gave up, why aren't you?" I fought my tears. "Because I feel the need to care. Did Leigh hurt you? Did she hit you?" he finally noticed the unusual redness of my cheek. I don't like the way he told me he needed to care for me. I felt like an obligation, a responsibility that he is carrying and carrying leads to getting tired and when people gets tired, they give up. I don't want them to give up on me. But they will, so it's good not to make them care for me in the first place. "I never needed anyone. I stopped needing anyone before, why start now?" I uttered the words again. Why? There is nothing to fight for. No mama. No papa. No sister to love me. No one. So why would I waste my life and the time of others to fix what is already broken - and someone who doesn't want to be fixed? If I may add. Maybe I gave up. No, scratch that. I gave up a long time ago - when my parents died, my hope and purpose went away with them.

Just Let Me Go di Lovley_moments

I've had a good life. My family is full of celebrities and good times. My life was great... Until I met him. My relationship with him was amazing for about the first 4 months. Then he changed because I got in contact with someone of his past and my moms boyfriend started hitting on me. He beat me... Everyday and I couldn't get away. I was screwed? You don't know the half of it. I found a way out because the person of his past helped me out tremendously. But that happiness only lasted a month and two weeks. And in that month and two weeks, my new love interest was put into the hospital along with his best friend. Fantastic. Hi, my name is Brayden Air and I'm from New Port, Rhode Island. I am Bruno Mars' and Samantha Carter-Mars' granddaughter. And this is my fucked up story.

Echo of the Past di KiyuMiyuu

A few months ago, I bought a mug with gold gilt. On sale. Not a gift either nor because of an occasion to remember by it. Just plain, pretty mug for 15PLN. I drank my coffee from it since. I spat loose tea leaves into it. It never felt particularly significant. An ordinary object. Only when I lost it, I realised its true value. I sat comfortably at my desk one evening. Looking at my phone, I reached to take my song-text notebook. Trivial situation. My clumsy fingers were unable to avoid the mug. They allowed it to topple over, to slip from the desktop. Even though I did not see the split-second occurrence, I felt the pressure of unease. My head painted the trajectory of the fall on its own, the shattering, spillage. The loss. For a millisecond I still had hope, that I would be able to catch the mug, that I would be able to avoid what was about to happen. But I knew I was headed for failure. I don't have any superpowers. I only scalded my fingers. I looked at the mug's new shape for a long while, at the shattered pieces. At the spilling liquid. Our adventure came to an end. Irrevocably. I won't be drinking coffee from it anymore, nor spit tea leaves into it. Well. I shouldn't be sad, it was just a regular mug, just like thousands of others. I grew to like it, it kept me company throughout hundreds of warm drinks. I lost it. I hate this feeling the most. In the moment when I am losing something, I stop in my tracks, I hold my breath. It is always a very intense moment. A short one, but one that gives me the tight unpleasant feeling in my stomach. The feeling of loss is always accompanied by hope. Silly and naïve. Making me believe so strongly, that I can make it. That I will still be able to catch the mug mid-flight. When the feeling is entering the body, crawling into me I realise, how important it was to me. Whether it's Nivan or a stupid mug with gold gilt.

How The Bad Boy Found True Love. di awkwardlyrare

I watched him watch me as he was about to press his fist into the big red button that read "Emergency Fire!". I was unable to form words because, I thought about how hot he looked as he stared back at me with such intensity. It just intrigued me. I finally snapped out of my trance, but not because I'd came to my senses, but because I felt a cold sensation running down my body. I blinked about three times before it finally registered that he'd pressed the button and now water was spilling from the roof, and some students were laughing and playing. My breath hitched in my throat as he came closer. "You really should've worn a more, I don't know, a thicker shirt or bra. Because your two lovely friends are standing at attention." as the words left his mouth, realization caught up to me and I flushed with embarrassment and quickly crossed my arms over my chest. Talk about scarred for life! Jerk. Meet Charm Mill, your typical nerdface. She's the smartest girl in school, straight A's, great punctuality.. eveything in the book. She's also the invisible girl. No one notices her. But, for her, that's a great thing. She feels that going unnoticed means less drama, which is correct. But, what happens when Heath Cullen gets himself in trouble because he's not performing the way he should and the principal forces Charm to tutor him? Will this be a ticket to hell or a ticket for the bad boy to find his true love? Copyrighted. ©

But I Can't Lose Her di Kykyleigh17

"You can't be serious. You can't sit here, and tell me you don't care how much this would kill Harper and Michael," I protest, sitting up on my hand, watching him below me. I feel his hand tighten slightly as he swallows, taking breathes I can feel under my palm. "Yeah. I am serious, Leigh. Because I know, okay? I fucking know how wrong this is, and how we shouldn't be here, and I shouldn't want to kiss you so badly right now, but I do. You wanna know why? Because ever since I was little, I pictured you and only you in my head, and I can't stop my feelings. I can't stop the way I feel when I see you, or when I feel you, or when I hear you. Everything about you is in my head 24/7, and I don't ever want it to stop." For a moment, I look down at him and focus on him, but I can't help the nausea that's circling in my stomach. -------------💜------------- To be so lucky to fall in love. To be so lucky to find your soulmate, the one you want to spend the rest of your life with. That's all I dream of. And maybe that's dumb, but ever since I was little, that's all I wanted. Love. But, I found it in one of the most unexpected places. With one of the most unexpected people. I fell in love so unexpectedly, I didn't fully think of everything that would happen because of it. Because of us.

Mason's Angel (Completed) di Yellow1017

"What's your problem?" He asks darkly. "What's your problem?" I spit back. "Why do you keep following me?" He hisses. "I don't follow you!" I shout back. "Then how come where ever I go you end up going or being there?" He questions in a raised voice. "Its a coincidence." I say back in the same tone. He then moves forward towards me, and I take a step back but my back hits the brick wall. He puts his arms up his palms against the wall caging me in looking into my eyes. I won't look at him though, I look to the ground scared. "Just leave me alone...stay away." He whispers in my ear before he walks away to his car with his head down. -- When Dylan accidentally bumps into Mason in school things change.

Or will his boss find a way to keep him fighting?

It Wasn't Love ✔️ di depressedbrit

"Fuck." He whispers into my neck, sending a thrill of excitement through my body. His lips still smothered kisses over my neck and his hands roamed my body, starting at my chest, going down to my stomach. Caressing my soft skin, his thumb trailed circles on my groin before slightly slipping into the waistband of my jeans. My breath catches in my throat as I pull at the hoodie that covered his chiselled body. Understanding, Jacob pulls it off in one swift movement before attaching his lips back on my neck. Sucking and biting it before flicking his tongue over the sore spot. A quiet moan leaves my mouth and I clasp my hand over it, denying any noise to escape. "You drive me fucking crazy, Aria." ---------------------------- Aria Bailey finds it hard to fit in. Her parents are always busy and never have time for her.
