You don't break unspeakable rules. They just aren't meant to be broken.
"See, I did love a boy. I loved him so much it hurt. He could spend so much time fascinated on one person and love them with or without their mistakes. He would love them wholly as a person."
My breathing becomes irregular, but I can seem to get any words out of my mouth. I just lie there like a stupid person, waiting for her to speak again.
It took 6 years. 6 long years before she would come back to her hometown again. Mel watched me stumble after her best friend's affections for years, but never said a word about her twisted love for me. Naive 12 year old's can't differentiate desire from need. Life doesn't work that way, neither does love. It's been 6 long years and she's more beautiful than ever, but does the scrawny, broken 18 year old boy get the girl that ran away into the night? Who ended up with the broken heart?
Only time will tell because after all...loving her isn't really an option.

At the End of the Day
[COMPLETED] "We both agreed, Apollo! We said no feelings, no attachments! You promised you wouldn't get attached." I look down at my lap in worry and shame. I have no idea what to say, I promised her, but like an idiot I broke that promise. "Say something!" My breath hitches and I look up at my beautiful girl through my lashes, my eyes brimming with tears because I know after tonight we won't be seeing each other again. I stand up from the edge of the bed and walk over to her, watching as her chest moves up and down harshly with each breath. My eyes trail over the love marks I left moments ago when we were happy to only get lost in each other's arms temporarily. She's mad at me. I never wanted her to be mad at me. "I'm sorry, baby," I whisper reaching forward to run my finger along her cheek catching the falling tear that flows down her soft skin. "You promised." She whispers. I know. "I promise I'm not attached, Blue." Too late. ••• Apollo and Blue have a few things in common. They're both lonely, they're both sad and they both attend the same university, a place where they stumble upon each other for the first time. So when the two decide to keep each other company by forming a causal relationship, the hard-headed Blue sets clear instructions for Apollo.

Beginnings and Endings [complete]
Which one of y'all falls in love too easily? Oh good, you. That's nice to know. It's gratifying to know I'm not alone here. Yeah, I'm one of those...it sucks sometimes, and you get branded a serial dater if you mess up. Thankfully, I wasn't one of those. I dated throughout primary and secondary school, and all of them ended...well, not so well. Except one. This is my story - broken hearts, broken friendships, broken relationships...see, they all get healed in the end. And when you meet that one person, everything will be okay, and you'll realize that everything that you've been through ended with you meeting him. This is my story, my account of loves, hates, friendships, high school, broken hearts and how I got over it, beginnings and endings. Note: Based on a true story. Set in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia but formalized. Disclaimer: Views and opinions in this story were mostly mine, and I'd like to request that no reader who is actually involved in this story, under the same or different name, take any offense.

Worth the Risk
August & Colin | WRU series | book 1 We take risks. We make mistakes. We lie. We love. We hurt. We lose total control. I took a risk. I paid the price. I made a mistake. I felt the guilt. I lied. I lie. I loved. I try not to. I hurt. I still do. I lost control. I'm losing again. I try to stick to my plan, I try to follow my rules, I try to silence my heart, I try to keep control of the domino stones that represent my life. But one domino fell and the rest just followed. *** "We shouldn't do this," he whispers against my lips. I should applaud him for having the strength to act on that thought because I haven't been able to. At one point I wanted to, but his touches made the impulse to stop vanish. Now, the only thing I want to act on is the longing inside my chest as I think about demolishing the space between us. "Do you want to stop?" I can feel his frown against my forehead. He nudges my nose before placing a featherlight kiss on my mouth. His hands slide over my jawline, his thumbs slowly caressing my cheeks. He gives me another kiss. Slow and deliberately, as if he's still debating the answer to my question as he slicks his tongue over mine. He softly sucks on my bottom lip, dragging it with him when he pulls away. "I can't," he confesses before he presses his lips back on mine. *** All Rights Reserved (Do not copy this story, thank you :))Complete
Things Left Unsaid | ✓
❝That's the thing about love. It isn't going to be easy, it isn't going to be smooth, but it's going to be worth it. Because sometimes you have to take the plunge. And you never know if you'll make it out again.❞ Maybe it's the way he looked at her that day in kindergarten or maybe it's the way he was there for her all those years.

But later, when fate finally decides to twist in her favor, Kaylee is given a second chance to fix their romance.

And in the end, everything may just crash and burn. ******************************************* Warning: Read at your own risk! This is my first story on Wattpad (which I wrote when I was 14), so you know what that means - cringe, plot holes, and errors. It's not the most well-written; there are decent chapters and bad chapters. I hope you decide to give this story a chance anyways, though.Complete
