"I am drowning anyways. There is no point in living if I am just going to be sad all of the time."

"That is not true and you know that."

"I don't know anything. I don't want to know anything. I don't want to be anything. You're happy, and you're fine. I'm sad, and I'm not fine. I never will be and you cannot fix that, no matter how hard you try."

August Skinner is not your typical popular kid in school, and his life isn't a popular ideal way of living either. I guess you could say that he is just, getting by. Through heartache, betrayal, depression, and addiction he is forced to overcome obsticle after obsticle with the voices in his head or with his friends, sometimes he can't even tell who's on his side. Maybe he's not even on his own side.

'I wish things were different. But how am I supposed to fix myself when I'm far too lost and confused. I have nothing to lean on and no flashlight to guide me. Every day of my life is a struggle and I'm hanging on by my last breath, waiting patiently until I get one final blow.'

#620 teenfiction 21/4/2018 "If nothing last forever," he started in a satin smooth voice. "Then me and you are going to be nothing forever." A lump grew in her throat, she tried very hard to swallow it, but she couldnt. He twirled a lock of her dark hair with his long slender fingers, playing with each strands lazily. "The rumors were wrong, I'm into brunette." Then he moved her closer to his body, his warm breath cooling her body. "I finally settled it Sam, the two of us are going to be together." He whispered as he eyes started getting droopy. The sedative had started hitting him. "Right, you still love me right?" She sought to reassure him and moved her lips against his throat, then gently nipped a vulnerable hollow. "You still want to play Cara?"

With Destiny playing its trump cards, they'll come across but what happens when you fall in love with that particular 'stay away from' boy? Shakespeare said, the course of true love is never easy and so it is.Maybe it's your same cliché highschool badboy love story but with a touch of salt. Amidst all these drama of highschool and all the outer negative forces putting on their act, will their love sustain? ▪️▪️▪️ ▪️ His lips came closer and mine parted slightly but he diverted and dug his head in the crook of my neck. My fingers travelled through his hairs as he teased me with his lips playfully. Tracing my collarbone and then making it all the way up to my ears. My fingers wrapped around the back of his neck and I crashed my lips on his, perfectly entwining with the buttery movement. Our lips parted as our tongues met, dancing and twirling as if discovering each inch. The continuation of his nibbling at my lower lip dragged it much deeper into more velvety chemistry and more passionately electrifying. When our lips parted, we were utterly breathless. I just lost myself, sitting on his lap and staring into his eyes. "Shall we have breakfast?" I whispered. "I'm having mine right now," he whispered as his lips brushed against my ear and he gently bit my earlobe. "Ah!" a silent gasp left my lips automatically and I felt his smirk against my skin. 🥉Black and Gold Flames Awards © SANYUKTA

Hiding From Granger

53 parts Complete Mature

I quickly shake my head, which he raises an eye brow to but doesn't question. He straightens up, never removing his gaze from me before stepping closer, forcing me to step back. He takes another and again, I step away. Seth keeps approaching me, his steps worth 3 of mine, quickly finding myself pressed against a wall, Seth's body inches away from mine, arms resting against the wall on either side of my head. He leans forward and I feel his breath spreading over my neck. "You know, Little cub, I really don't take well to lies." he whispers lingering there for a few moments before straightening up. "Breaks over, Panda cub" he announces, turning to walk away as the bell rings around us. *************************** Willow can't remember a time when life was simple, or even nice.
