"A lot of people are scared of you, Austin Grey." Rosalie spoke softly, still looking thoughtfully up at the sky. "And it's like you want them to be." Her eyes remained fixed on the clouds as she spoke, observing them in a way only she could.
"What about you?" I asked her after a short silence. "Are you scared of me?" My eyes followed a white line in the sky that a plane must have left behind, as I waited for her answer.
She took seconds, minutes to respond. "Right now," it sounded hesitantly, "Right now, I don't think so."
I couldn't help but smile, as I moved my eyes away from the sky, to look at her. There she was, innocent and angel-like, lying on the fresh green grass, flowers surrounding her petite body. They reminded me of her, the flowers. Everyone loves flowers, they're beautiful and sweet. But, flowers are fragile, and you have to treat them with care. Just like Rosalie.
She was like a blooming rose.

Austin Grey is a guy without emotions, or at least that's how he wants others to see him. Brought up by his rather aggressive father, in a world full of drugs, alcohol and fighting, he has learned to care about nobody, to cut off his emotions and to be merciless. But, unlike his father, he doesn't get joy out of killing people. When his father dies, he sees his chance to escape the life full of fighting and runs away. With some money stolen from his father he buys himself a little flat, in a town far away from where he grew up.
Other than most 20-year old guys, girls are the last thing Austin cares about. But, that will change when he meets a certain girl named Rosalie, who makes him feel emotions he's never felt before.

I took a deep breath and told myself that Christian didn't notice anything about me, but, what if Lissa does?

They were all coming through the bond. How could I compete with telling her a lie when I knew how she felt? What if she turns me away because I shut her out for the past two months? "Before anyone says anything I think we should say Rose had her reasons for leaving and is here to stay, right?" Christian asked. Breathe. Just breath. She needs to see you. "Why did you leave?" Lissa asked "I had a mission." She looked me up and down and shook her head. "It's true! My mom and I were assigned to protect a guy over in Turkey." "Yeah okay. I guess that's why you wouldn't talk to me for four whole days then just up and disappeared!" Tears shown in her green eyes and I hated that I was hurting her so badly. "Lissa. Please. I can't tell you anything else. " "Save it Rose! You know I did everything just to find you and I couldn't get a single trace! You left me when I was in a vulnerable state, Rose! " "Lissa don't turn this back to you! It's not about you! Everything isn't always about you! Yes, I shouldn't have left but I did. What do you want me to do? Apologize over and over? I think I'm already doing that!" "You shouldn't have left and not tell me!" She yelled. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Plot: Rose had left the Academy, say what!?

She's Married To Rasmus✔️
Rasmus was shocked when he saw me and it was as if he saw a ghost. Fuck! Why did you do this to me! You said you didn't have a relationship with her but now it's clear to me! I can see it with my own two eyes that they love each other! "Sheryl." He softly said my name. He stood up causing his woman to move away from him. "Look it is not what you think.." I don't know if I was imagining it because I just saw his emotion as if he was afraid and feel sorry for me or sad. "Ras stop it! What are you talking about? We kissed didn't we? Why do you have to explain to her?!" His woman seems annoyed. Rasmus couldn't take his eyes off me and even surprised his woman when he pulled back his arm that was holding her. He slowly walked towards me. My tears just continued to fall and my vision was blurred because of the tireless release of water from my eyes "Hey, I don't know how to explain this but believe me I didn't kiss her." He still managed to lie in front of me?! My fists clenched. I just smiled bitterly at him before I turned and ran out of the house. I didn't look at him again and I know he followed me because I heard him calling my name. I can barely see the road I'm running to because of my blurred vision. It hurt so much! It's like I'm slowly being crushed by this disease. Why did I love someone like him and why didn't I love Tristan? He is better over him! Why is the world so unfair?! Why me?! I was deaf and I couldn't hear anything because my mind was consumed by emotions. I don't know if this road I ran is still right. I suddenly came back to my thoughts when I heard a loud beep of a car. The last thing I saw was Rasmus' shocked eyes as he ran towards me. It happened so fast, I didn't realize that I was hit by a car, thrown in the air and fell it caused my vision to darken. ******** Mature content | R18+ Highest rank #1 - hatesComplete

My hair was stuck to my face from all the sweat and blood. Everything was spinning around me and the ground seemed like it was shaking. Groaning I sat down and put my head on my knees. He knows who I am. He knows how I look like. He knows where I work so possible knows where I live. I am not safe anymore... no where. While I was in my own world I heard faint sounds behind me but I didn't bother to look or run away. The footsteps got closer and I was pretty sure it was Walker's men. I should run.
