"Never have I ever drugged someone before I fucked them." Three of the guys took a drink, causing me to scoff. These are the people I hang out with?! When did my life go so downhill? The guys set their shots down and one of the girls on the outside poured the drinks again. 

"My turn." I moved my gaze to the man across from me, already feeling the knots start to form is my stomach. Oh God no. Please, no. "Never have I ever," he started, smirking my way, "been raped."

My hands started shaking and my breathe caught in my throat as I looked down at my glass. Do I take it? If they find out.... No, they can't find out. 

"What's wrong Sammie? You look troubled." He smiled, causing my stomach to turn even more. How the fuck did he know? I was so young, there's no way he could know. 

"N-Nothing I just.. I..." A gasp was heard to my right, and it looked like it came from Amy. 

"Oh my God...." We all turned to the left, and I felt my mouth drop open as I stared at the guy who was now setting his glass down. No way. No way in hell..... 

"Quit looking at me like that." He snapped, going to stand up. "Come on Sammie, let's get out of here." He walked over and grabbed my hand, pulling me up from the ground. "Greg, consider yourself removed from the fucking group." 


Quite. Invisible. Outcast. Some of the many words that people use to describe Sammie Lorenzo. But they forget the most important two. Broken and Lonely.  Sammie's had it hard, and to cope she's turned everyone away. The only one who gets to the real Sammie is her little brother Dennis. 

After a stream of bad decisions, Sammie ends up getting involved with none other than the Gruesomes. And the trouble begins with a game of Never Have I Ever. Will Dane, the Gruesomes leader, figure out exactly what caused Sammie to become the way she is?

Blaze White is the New Girl at the Prep school in her mothers old home town. But her only goal for senior year is to keep a low profile, no friends, no parties and NO boys. Axel may be adored and worshipped by his peer-but he hates people, except 5. So when a beautiful but closed off girl suddenly enters his group. He is not welcoming of the mysterious beauty despite the pull they both feel. •••• WARNING: This was written many moons ago. I have decided to put it back up because of a large request from readers. However, I was a kid when I wrote this so take it with a grain of salt. *** Like a deer in head lights, I freeze and watch as the car comes towards me expecting to get hit. But to my surprise, the car swerves to the side slightly next to me and comes to a stop. I take a deep breath I didn't know I was holding at the driver's side door swings open and a very pissed off Axel steps out. "Thank god," I mumble and place my hands on my knees to catch my breath. "Blaze?" He says and I hate it. I hate how he says my name as if it's his. Like he knows it's the only thing I want to hear, him calling out to me, looking at me, focused to me. It's the first time in my life I wanted someone's attention so badly I didn't care how I got it. And that was too dangerous for me to hold onto. "Are you insane or some shit? I could have killed you!" He says and starts to walk towards me. I take a big breath and step back away from him, "s-stop! Axel," I stutter still panting. It's then he notices the blood on my hands and shirt. "Is that blood?" He asks staring at my shirt and I take another step back. "Stop, stay b-back," I try to say confidently but I can't even breath right. Realizing he won't listen I start to turn around planning to make a break for it. "Don't run from me Blaze it won't go well," he growls reading my thoughts causing me to freeze in my spot. "Do not ever think you can get away from me."

"I hate you," she muttered and I was taken aback. I looked at the guys for a quick second and back at her. "W-" "Don't ever scare me like that again," she said harshly, colliding with my body.

Drifting through the days with her group of friends, Sammy only cared about escaping it all with the help of casual sex, drugs, and alcohol until she met Brett. He swept her away, and the werewolf world consumed her. Partying took a backseat to the passion and danger filled life as an alpha's mate took over. Suddenly she finds herself struggling with what is real. "Hello Samantha. Do you remember me?" His voice rang in my brain clear and deep. I nodded my head, shock covering my face. Noticing it he reassured me, "Don't be afraid. You know me, my voice. Listen and breathe. You are safe with me." He kept talking to me in my mind. Focusing on the voice I almost didn't realize he was sifting back into his human form. "Brett?" I questioned him aloud. "Yes." He answered simply. "We must go, follow me." "Where are we going?" "Trust me. You are safe." He held out his hand, and I broke eye contact. Looking down at his hand I noticed his naked skin. His body tensed; it was as if he could sense my attraction the instant I felt it. "I'm sorry." I said looking away as I realized I had been starring. "It isn't anything to be embarrassed about. It's an animal instinct. It's natural. Humans only suppress it because they think it's rude. It isn't." He didn't say it like he was bragging but instead with a reassuring confidence about him. "It's actually extremely attracting when a female shows arousal outright." I was shocked; he described me like a lioness in heat. Almost as if my attraction to him was a sign saying 'come get me.' It made me extremely uncomfortable.

The corner of his mouth tilts upward slightly. I smile again. A smile!? A tiny one, but still. "Hm. So I got you to smile, that's progress, yeah? Can I get your name now?" I ask, swinging my feel a little. He shakes his head shyly, his mouth not moving at all. Geez! Why do I want to hear this dude talk so much? "Okay, that's fine. I can give you a nickname." I offer happily. He looks up from his book, raising his eyebrows. I just stare for a moment. He has nice eyes. Pretty brown chocolate orbs. They remind me so much of....... "Teddy." He shakes his head immediately, frowning. "What, why not? You remind me of my old teddy bear. He was a good listener and he didn't talk much..... just like you." I say softly, tilting my head. He continues to shake his head. I fold my arms, leaning back in my seat. "Yeah, it's definitely sticking. Teddy.....It has a nice ring to it, yeah?" He sighs, the first sound I have ever heard him make. "No." . . . *Jordan* Teddy!? Seriously!? She gave me a fucking NICKNAME!? What the hell does this girl want!? I stuff my hands into my pockets, walking down the busy street. Forget about her. She's just a annoying pretty girl, she'll go away. Everybody does. She HAS to go away. *Spoiler alert*: she doesn't. Don't get close to people or they'll end up getting hurt. That's my mindset. I've been through enough of that. This girl doesn't belong in my world anyway. She's too innocent. *Mature content* {Just a quick update, I am basically rewriting the story. I wrote it when I was in 8th grade and it makes me cringe every time I try to go back and edit it so keep in mind that it'll get better}
Lean On Me | Shane X OC | Stardew Valley by angels_cornerz

The blood had already leaked down my forehead, but I kept my eyes on Shane and tried to blink quickly to clear my vision. "Hang on, please. Please hang on." He pleaded, holding my body up to a sitting position. I couldn't even remember what had struck me and I was getting nervous by Shane's worried face. "I'm... it hurts." I mumbled. "I'm so sorry." He held me closer. This time tears started to form in his dark green eyes but I could tell Shane didn't want to cry in front of me. My head started to feel more dizzy and I had to give in and close my eyes, much to Shane's dismay and his protests. I probably should've just listened to him from the start when he said don't go outside in this weather, but me being pissy with him and wanting to prove a point- I did and now I'm laying on the wet grass with a gash on my temple and an even bigger one on my leg. "We'll get you to Harvey." Shane said. I could hear his voice break at the end. He picked me up and started walking. "Please wake up." I wanted to so badly but I was exhausted from the hike and spending the night in the cold and shivering for hours. Shane's warm hands under my back and legs already felt way better. "This is all my fault. The one good thing to happen in my life...." Shane let out a sob but never stopped walking. I just wanted to hug him and tell him everything was going to be alright. I could feel the blood still tripping down my leg and face, so I knew I couldn't make false promises but Shane needed me. He needs me. I'm his anchor, I'm the girl he leans on when he's feeling like he's losing. I have to do this. I opened my eyes again. --CW-- Swearing Abuse Drinking NSFW Blood Painful backstories Book cover was done by me but I used a reference from stardewvalleycowboy because i've never drawn Shane before ^^.

It was a while later when Brendon woke up again. He noticed a sharp pain in his wrist and saw the swelling. He was pretty sure it was more than a sprain. He stood slowly and was able to walk. "Sarah, wake up. Something's happened," Brendon spoke while gently shaking her awake. Her eyes slowly opened. "Bren, what's wrong?" She asked. "I'm not sure," he said. He helped her to stand when her leg suddenly gave out. She was squeezing his arm tightly. "Bren, what's wrong? I can't walk," She said as worry filled her eyes and voice. "I'm not sure," he said and picked her up. He carried her out of their room, ignoring the pain in his wrist, and into the main part of the bus. Mike, Dallon, Dan, and Zack were all making their way out from the back bunks. He didn't see Ryleigh among them. Kenny, Dan, and Zack seemed to be okay but Dallon was limping, held up solely by Kenny and Dan. "What happened?" Brendon asked them. "I think the bus had an accident." Zack said first. "Brendon, whatever happened, I did something to my ankle I can't walk,"Dallon spoke up. "We'll figure this out, I think I broke my wrist and Sarah can't walk either," Brendon said. Panic was beginning to settle in as Brendon realized no one noticed she was gone. "Have you all seen Ryleigh?" Brendon asked as Sarah held tightly to his neck. All the band members began looking around and Zack checks the bunks. "No, but Brendon, don't freak out. We'll find her. She isn't in her bunk or anywhere on this bus." Zack said. Brendon felt the tears welling in his eyes as reality set in. ***This book is the 3rd book in The Urie's Daughter series. Do NOT read unless you've read the others.

He once told me no one knows the real him.I didn't think he meant it, and not in a good way. He is a straight A student, and everyone knows it, not to mention he is on the swim team. All that though isn't the real him, the real him hides deep within himself. ---------- "Can you please tell me what that was?" I nearly shout at him. All I get is silence. He keeps his back to me. "Please, I need some explanation." I beg. I stay still as he stops dead in his tracks. His body is tense and it's scarring me. He turns around slowly to face me with his hands at his sides. His eyes meet mine, but there is no spark of any emotion in them. They are cold and dark making me look away not being able to hold his deadly stare. I feel uneasy under his gaze, and i feel his eyes burning a hole in the side of my face. "No, I won't explain because it's not important." He says in a low, almost, growl. I flinch and look back into his eyes. I feel hurt by his words and I don't know why, but I know he sees it in my eyes. His faces flashes with regret but it's quickly covered up with his faces going back to it's hard cold look. I feel my heart stop and my face go pale. His look terrified me making me hold my breath. "Breath." He orders. I start to breathe again and just blink at him. "Now go." He orders me again. I flinch involuntarily at his tone and jump back slightly. "Please don't let me walk home alone." I beg in a quiet voice, looking down at my feet. The next thing I see are his black combat boots right in front of my shoes. I look up into his eyes and he looks down into mine confusion written all over his face. "How come you aren't running yet?" He questions searching my eyes. "I just can't walk home alone, please I'm scared." I hear him chuckle. "You aren't afraid of me? What can possibly be scarier than me?" He asks. "Well, I know you will keep me safe." "Why is that?" He questions raising an eyebrow at me. "You haven't hurt me." "Yet." He mutters, but I roll my eyes.

"Zachary." I snickered. He growled playfully as I laughed, dodging his attempt to grab me and took off running in a random direction. I ran with Zac right on my heels, until I turned a corner and ran into a hard chest. I prepared myself for a hard fall, when two muscular arms shot out, wrapping around my waist and crushing my body against theirs. "Hello, beautiful." The person said. I looked up to see a handsome boy, probably around seventeen also. His face looked oddly familiar and while trying to figure out why, I froze. His face was inching closer and closer to mine. I could feel his breath wash over my face as his lips was parted, only inches away from my face, eyes closing slightly, when suddenly a fierce growl shot out through the silence, that had my body tingling. In a flash I was out of the mysterious boy's hold and my hand instantly reached out to steady myself. I looked up to see Zac, pinning the boy by his throat, on a nearby wall. "Keep your filthy hands to yourself, she's MINE!!!!"He growled possessively. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My name is Jessica Matthews, i'm 17 and i'm a werewolf..not only that but the alpha's daughter.My life was perfect, i had an amazing family which consisted of my parents, my older brother Jared and I, I had a wonderful bestfriend, Stacey and, even though he wasn't my mate, a perfect boyfriend, Dylan, or at least i thought so, until one night he does something unforgivable and my mate waltzes in as my knight in shining armor.

Sam: 'Let's have a private chat and no one will come to know.' Aims: 'What do you mean?! :P' Sam: 'I mean you get me high and make me explode and no one has to know.' Aims: 'Okay.....let's start. Are you nude?' My life has been through........ Not really it has not been through anything dramatic except one accident that threw me out of my ex-school and sends me away to another town. So right now what am I doing? I am chatting with one of the present student of my ex-school, Sam. He is the guy I never got to know when I was in school; and now apparently I know a lot about him. He has a thing for sex but he actually is a virgin! You can say a desperate one. People say that there is one turn in everyone's life which changes everything. True! But not in my case; this is my story. With a lot of twist, turns, fights, kisses, slaps, dance, jealousy, drama, cat fights, parties and everything a teenage life has. But the only thing is, there were a lot of these emotions running around freely in the hallway, apparently I was the one to put them into correct lockers. Friends change everything in you. You can share anything with them, everything with them. My best friend changed me, made me see who I was (a total bitch) until now I was going back to her, to change her, to put her into her correct place; with me. Let's just say, it all started when my aunt came to me for a favor.......... © All Rights Reserved.
