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.

*Unedited* "What's so hard about just listening to what I have to say?" I plead. "I know that you would definitely be my forever but now it seems to be all just a lie," he yells, tears beginning to fall. I bite my lip to contain mine because I know once the floodgates open, I'm a goner. "So I just need time to think because," his voice cracks on the rest of his words "because this hurts and it hurts so damn much." ----------------------------------- Callie is just your average teen struggling with more problems than she knows. Forming new friendships and bonds through her junior year of high school she begins to see light friends bring. Her friendship with her longtime best friend Sam will be put to the test. Will it prosper into something more or will it fail and become one more problem for her to deal with. Will the obstacles of time, loyalty, and patience get in the way?

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. Your story may have been published but no person knows it except you and I and under aliases. Thank you for your discretion. Rated R because of a scene at the end you don't necessarily have to read because it's just for fun and it doesn't affect the storyline anyway.

"Breathing. Something I've always known how to do, yet sometimes it seems impossible. I sat in the passenger seat of a red convertible Mustang. The car belonged to my... would you call him my owner? I sat with my knees pulled up to my chest, I put my hand on the window of the car, wiping away some of the fog. My father and the guy who had just bought me, shook hands, finalizing the arrangement, as they stood on our front porch... or could you even call it that? The rain came down making it hard to see. Yes, breathing. Everyone knows how to do it, but it's normal for someone to forget how to, right? Right now, I felt as if my lungs had been ripped from my chest... or was that just my heart? My buyer ran from the porch, covering his head with his jacket. He stepped into his Mustang, and pulled it into reverse. Then with a simple movement, he turned the vehicle around and headed down the drive. I watched as my whole world slipped away." -Can't Buy Me Love *************************************** They were best friends, he was rich, she lived in a trailer.

But she wants nothing more than to be with her childhood love. Will he save her from her fate or will she get sold off to some loaded obnoxious stranger? She has secrets, he has secrets, a shadow lurks in the darkness watching her... can love even grow from that? ****** *Some mature content: Abuse and mature language*

His arms tightened around me and he pressed his lips against the top of my head, making me cry even harder. "I had never meant to hurt anyone. I just wanted to be good enough," I whispered. The guilt weighing heavy on my shoulders. "Briar," He said quietly, "You're so much more than good enough." ✗ Meet Briar Martin.

" Oh fuck!!" "Little one, I don't think it suits a baby to curse." " Hey!! Who are you calling little? I am a big girl. Can't you see?? " she hissed angrily, rubbing her knees. He chuckled and bent down to see her injury. " it's not that big. Stop crying like a baby." "Are you serious!! You..You are such a bad man I have ever met. Even my neighbour's son feels sad after hurting me. And you!! Huh!!" she said with an angry pout. He chuckled and stood up. He gave his hand to her to get up but she slapped his hand and stood up herself whining in pain. --------------------------------------------------- "Stop coming near me, or, or," she stuttered, trying to break free from his cage-like hold. "Or what, little one?" he whispered hoarsely in her ear. She didn't like it - that was what her mind was screaming. But she also knew it was a turn-on for her. "Just leave me, Mr. Knight," she tried to act bold, but all her words came out as a mere whisper. He smirked and moved closer, their bodies touching. She could feel his heavy bulge against her lower abdomen. She bit her lip. He moved in closer, and before she could speak, he claimed her lips, shocking her to the core. "Mine..." ----------------------------------------------------------- He is broken, she is his cure. He is alone, she has everyone. He is cold, she is on fire. She ain't any innocent, naive girl but a fiesty one. What will happen when they both meet after their first encounter??

Chase Harrison. Still infuriatingly handsome. Still the only guy who ever truly knew her. And now? He has a story she never saw coming. She should walk away. Pretend the past doesn't still live under her skin. But the fire between them never really died-it just went dormant. And this time, it's threatening to burn through every wall she's built. Because some love stories don't end in goodbye. They end in what if.
