Swallow my pride she tells me. Ha. Easy for her to say when she lost her pride so long ago she barely even knows what it means to have it anymore.
I'm not going to swallow my pride so another pompous asshole can get his way. Especially since that pompous asshole just so happens to be my brother.
I'm trying to stay strong and not let the profanities that sit precariously on the tip of my tongue slip out.
I've let them slip out in the past and more times than not haven't been sorry.
I went for a walk to pull myself together, but, of course, right as I stepped back through that front door she jumped down my throat for the same reason I left.
She says she understands that she doesn't know the whole story but wants me to swallow my pride because she needs money, again.

The Tattoo | Maze Runner | Gally x Reader
SERIES DISCONTINUED :C I wanted to write a Gally x reader story because Gally gets a lot of hate sometimes and he's underrated :/ Some of this will be my own little AU of what I believe are the sexualities of the characters, gender identities, including my own characters with LGTBQIA+ aspects, including some characters who survive. This is my story, and I hope you enjoy it :) ----------------------------------------------- RELATIONSHIP TYPE: Enemies To Lovers ----------------------------------------------- CHARACTER IMPERFECTION: God Complex ----------------------------------------------- "Hey, Gal!" You chirp, spinning on your heel. "Hey, that was cool." His eyebrows raise in slight surprise, now letting reality sink in that you are actually his girl. And this is what he has to deal with. "Wow, you really are hyper today." "You said it!" You grin. You feel so much energy going through you after good nights of sleep, well. Goodnights as best as you can get. "Here, take this." He hands you something and you start turning it in your hand almost immediately after receiving it. Looking down at it curiously to see some sort of wooden turn. It's kind of like the door handles, or a rower for a fishing rod. Except it's only the handle for a fishing rod. No rod or line. So it's basically just a fidgety piece of wood. You start turning both sides, spinning it around in your hand. "Easy there." Gally chuckles. He steps closer to you, rubbing his arm up and down your back to soothe you. "You doing okay?" "Yep." You chirp, grinning up at him. He double-checks your expression. His eye staring into yours to see how you're feeling. When he's sure you're not too stressed out, he removes his arm from you and throws a rag over his shoulder. "Okay, stick by me. Ya hyper little bunny..." I obviously do not own Maze Runner or the characters, that belongs to James Dashner :) Start Date: 13/08/21 End Date: 11/09/21Complete
Set on fire
This story is about a girl called Vanessa. She is fifteen and has three brothers so as you can imagine she can take a punch. She was tough and strong and has a very crazy sense of humour and loves pranks. And her whole family are werewolves. At school one day she sees this group of guys beating up another guy so she steps in and beats the guys up. About a week later when they are out for dinner in respect of their sister that died at birth. When they arrive home they find their house in flames being fought by firemen. It was all burnt to a crisp. Nothing could be saved. Except a heart shaped locket that belonged to her mum who died almost three years ago. It was pure gold. The group of boys that she beat up had started the fire as revenge for hurting their pride. She marched over to them and slapped the leader, who was also the alpha of the neighbouring pack right across the face. Everything changed when she felt sparks fly up her arm...Complete
Make Me Perfect
Your suicide? Oh please, daddy. That didn't change me. I'm only trying to please you, trying to be perfect. And trust me, I've achieved perfection. I ran my school. If there was a crown, I'd be wearing it. I had all the guys on top of me, all the insecure little nitwits wrapped tightly around my finger. We still have your money, so I'm rich, gorgeous, thanks to your wonderful features, my dear father, and I was popular. I was perfect beyond belief. Now you; your secret still horrifies me. Why did you take your life? Your family so dearly loved you. I will find out, just for you, and so that you will say that I'm perfect in every which way as you watch down on me.

He's the silent type, perfect prey for my friends and I. But he's different. In fact I have made a deal with him. He'll help me solve your mystery, daddy, on one condition; I change my ways. He's such a joke, a cute joke. Oh what must I be saying, he's absolutely insane. I don't need to change my ways, I'm perfect. If anything, I should be helping him. Oh I remember now, father. Aiden.

Love from Across the Corridor
"What...can you please tell me what's going on. Why are you so mad?" she pleaded for answers. Damn she's good. She stood up from the couch and started walking towards me, trying to touch me. "Do you really want me away? Away from you. Like really really go?" she asked me again, acting confused. This time I see tears in her eyes threatening to roll out. I can't. I can't. Why can't she fucking tell me the truth. I literally saw what she did. Really pissed, I started shouting. "YES, I'M BLOODY SURE AIMEE. SO CAN YOU FUCKING LEAVE ME ALONE FOR NOW". Reluctantly she turned away from me, walking towards where she left her stuff earlier, sniffling. She took her things and was ready to leave me. I opened the door for her. Almost stepping out from my house, she took my shaking hand by surprise. "You know you can talk to me right. I'm always here for you. Always", she said. It only pissed me more. She stopped at the doorstep turning to look at me. But I was a jerk. Because I fucking shoved her out of my house.

Even if I am a billionaire now, mom and I usually talk but dad is still hard on me. He didn't want me living away from home at the age of twenty five, and wasting away my money to some girl or women who only wanted my fame, fortune but not the real me, as what he always say, the last time he talked to me, which was five years ago. But I liked the attention, the fake loves or smiles, but it changed when I swerved my car down an alley and saw a girl walking, swaying like she's drunk or didn't care what happens to her. I almost hit her and shouted pulling down my car window, but she isn't budging. Oh, my God, is she dead or did I hit her? I looked outside and I think it's okay to get out of the dark street.Complete
Slay My Soul
There once was a girl who had a little curl right in the middle of her forehead, and when she was good she was very, very good, but when she was bad, she was horrid.

They took the love of my life from me, and they have broken me more than any of their previous attempts could ever dream to. But the jokes on them. My pain is my gain, and I will use it to destroy them. I will solve the prophecy and end this ridiculous power struggle. I will watch their blood fall to the swing of my sword, and I will do it with a smile on my face. My only concern is what will be left of me once the bodies fall. My inner darkness is a crazy, bloodthirsty bitch that enjoys wreaking havoc. I'm not sure that's quite what the Fate's had in mind as their champion and future queen. Meh, fuck it. Let the chips fall where they may. This is the final book in the Pieces of Me trilogy. This is not a stand-alone. Please note this is a reverse harem/ why choose book.

Complicated
She wakes up in a cage cold and confused. She refuses to show any weakness in this strange new place; she shoves everything down, deep down behind a mask of indifference snippy remarks and a few right hooks. She wont let these new and strange boys see her cry, she wont show them any signs of weakness. She can't, she's the only girl and she needs to be tough. It's the only way to survive this harsh new world she finds herself in. Being tough and ruthless catches the attention of one particular builder. He's not one for emotions either, especially in a place like the Glade. He knows something is off, and he does his absolute best to keep order around him and in him, when everything's falls apart. Are these two destined to be together? Or are they too similar in personalities? Are they too broken from their own traumas to work it out? Maybe she likes him. Kind of. Maybe he might like her. She probably hates him. He can't stand her. They don't want the other to know. But maybe they do...a little. Who has time for romance and feelings in a place like The Maze. Life. Romance. Friendships. Emotions. It's all just so... Complicated. **MATURE SUBJECT MATTER- VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED**Complete
The Shattered World
Disclaimers: This story may include violence that can be upsetting to some readers. It can be more gruesome than you think, with a lot of psychological horror themes. This man (aka my MMC) also swears a lot in general, so watch out for that. TW: Subjects regarding self-end and self-harm, please take care of yourselves. This is HEAVILY Fantasy based, and some of it is made up by myself, however, was inspired by other things. Basically: Very magical world. A little thing I should mention is that in the world of Akara (the planet they are on), the word God and Deity do not mean the same/are not the same being (Deities being stronger). Do with that information what you will, I just wanted to clear up any possible future confusion. You are all stars :)
