The doorbell sounds and I get up from my bed and shuffle down the steps to the front of my house.
I sigh, "Leah, you have keys! You can open the door yourself, you lazy hoe!"
I laugh, expecting my blonde haired friend to be standing in the doorway with a glare on her face.
Instead, I hear nothing in reply and I peek through the peephole to see nothing there.
Suddenly curious, I open the door and look around, gazing up and down the street as well as around my porch.
There, on the worn-out welcome mat my mom insists on putting out, was a single white tulip.
I smile, picking it up.
They're one of my favorite flowers, it must've been a close friend.

Hello August, Please Be Good To Me
I look out into the parking lot and squint to make sure I'm not going crazy. Walking up with a bouquet of flowers is Justin. He's wearing a muscle tee, and my eyes settle on the part of his tattoo that's not covered up by the plastic holding the flowers. When he reaches me, I feel my face heat up and before I can say anything, he hands me the yellow roses. "I think we need a do over, and I'm not letting you go. But um...here's to friendship until then. If you'll accept." He looks so flustered and unsure of himself as I eye the flowers but don't take them immediately. It takes a long time for me to both find my voice and lose my pride. Finally I do something neither of us expect, and hug him by his neck. "Okay," I whisper, and don't let go.Complete
Human Botany 101
"Chrissy! Open the door!" Just as I'm watering my beautiful kumquat and trying to distract myself, the phone beeps, and I growl as I realize that I'm not the only whose day was ruined because of Mr. fungus's annoyingness. Is this your hot boss shouting your name from the street? - Ginko Determined to rip his head for the endless hours of gossip he's just granted my neighbors, I storm out of the kitchen and stand on the single vacant tile of my jungle of a balcony. "What do you want?" I try to keep my voice as low as possible, but the windows opening across the entire street tell me that this is by no means a private conversation. "We need to talk." "You mean that you want to find a new way of sucking the sap out of me, and using me like you always do?" "I'm sorry for what happened, Chrys. I truly am!" he finally concludes, his eyes refusing to let mine go. A wave of Aws passes over the street as the single ladies strategically standing on their balconies swoon at the fit for a rom-com scene. Little do they know is that they just fell for another trick of the master of opportunism. Planning on hissing on him and going back in, I take a deep breath and brush a hand through my tangled hair. Much to my dismay, my elbow knocks one of the many aloe vera pots, and soon enough, it rains plant and flowers on the guy as the audience gasps in terror. 🍂 Human Botany 101 🍂Complete
The Last Contract
Update biweekly: Saturday @1pm ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- John Blythe I was always taught that responsibility must not be taken lightly. I have worked for the past few days, without coming back home. My head is throbbing. My body is craving sleep. I arrive at my apartment and notice it's unlocked. I dismiss it and head to the bedroom. I loosen my tie as I open the door. My bed is occupied. But with two people, instead of one. "Bell?" "John! What are you doing here?" "Zac?" "It's not what you think John. I can explain." Tori pleased "Explain what, Really?! That you been sleeping with him, while I'm killing myself at work?" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nicole Garza The day I fell in love was during the first winter on this same day. Except I didn't fall in love today, instead I am soaking wet at the nearest cafe waiting for a cab. "Nicole, I came as soon as I heard," my best friend arrives at the cafe still in formal clothes. "Did you know?" I ask calmly. "I- I" she stutters "Waited for me to be humiliated?" I grit my teeth. "No that's not it. I did know but-" " But never thought you should tell me?!" I raise my voice "Well, I am not the one that left!" She fights back "You knew why I left! How do you think I feel finding out the love of my life married someone else!" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IMAGES: From Pinterest and Google
Pieces of the Past
We were all a part of this group. Michelle, Emily, Stephanie, Tiffany, Giselle, Chloe, and I. It wasn't exactly what you'd expect though. There was always secrets, always stories, always unspoken words, and tension. But yet, we always were best friends, no matter how many times we'd argue. And then one night, that one horrific night, something changed. Something major. And it wasn't the 7 of us anymore. But there were still untold secrets. And the matter of how safe our secrets were. Welcome to my pretty little world, of secrets, friendships, and vengeance. Note: this is based off of Pretty Little Liars a tiny bit, so you may see some similarities, but I promise it won't be the same storyline and stuff. So I hope you enjoy!Complete
THE THIRD P3RSON
Sometimes, there's more than meets the eye. A third person helps point it out. _________ "Just get ready and open the door. I need your help." I sat down on the edge of my bed staring at the window. The sky was still dark. Did I want to go? "Nah, I think I'll stay inside." I heard a sharp intake of breath on the other side. "You serious?" I laughed. "Yeah, I'm serious. I'm not moving an inch." Of course, I was lying. I was slipping on my boots when I heard a long sigh. He said, "What do you want if you come help me?" ____ The photo was taken and cover made by me. :$Complete
Sincerely, Your Neighbor. ~ Rafe Cameron
I walked to the front of my house to find a paper sitting on my porch right in front of my door. I picked it up and read it. Dear neighbor, I couldn't help but notice how you treated my friend the other day. I would just like to say I don't appreciate it. If you have any problems with us, let me know. Sincerely, Your neighbor. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Can you please quiet down?" "Sorry, I can't really hear you?" "Turn. Your music. Down!" He just smirked and then a couple of seconds later he said "Nah." He shut the door in my face. Great. Just great. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rafe Cameron x fem (y/n)

Her eyes flicked to my face, then to the tulips still in her hand. Without a word, she wrapped them up in brown paper, tied them with a ribbon, and handed them to me. "There. You're officially thoughtful now." "Thanks, Ma Chérie," I said, smirking as I took the bouquet and payed her. Her eyes narrowed. "It's just Chérie." "Sure it is," I replied, turning to leave. 🌷~
