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.

He was about to say something but I cut him off. "And if you so much as make my friend cry, I'll give you a black eye myself. Don't even think about breaking her heart... you will be a dead man." With that I got up. A dramatic exit was in order to show him just how serious I was. But hey! It's me. I don't get what I wish for and I ended up tripping on the carpet end, just as I was about to get to the door. So much for that. And just like the last time I fell, my face didn't get to keep its appointment with the floor. His arm was wrapped around my stomach and he pulled me hard against his chest. So hard that I managed to hit him and we ended up falling on the sofa together. Now isn't that a nice and compromising position you got yourself in? This can't get any worse. I tried getting up but I just ended up turning into him and found my face inches from his. He looked at me. He looked good and my hormones decided it was time to end a dry spell and started dancing about inside me. Wrong timing muthafvckers. Of course they didn't listen. I found myself wanting to kiss him. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sia Williams never expected anything out of the ordinary from life.

Lost In You
✗ "I'm sorry," I choked, the tears spilling down my cheeks. He shook his head and pulled me closer again. "Don't be sorry, just work on getting better," He said, rubbing calming circles on my back while I cried into his chest. 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.

It Wasn't Love ✔️
"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.
