I greeted the security guard that was on duty tonight. The women's shelter downtown had been giving me a small cot to sleep on for a while now. "Not so good darling." She had an adorable southern accents that normally made me feel safe, but tonight her tone seemed worried. "What's going on that has you worried?" She gave me a serious look.

Hiding Anna [rewritten]
[THIS IS A REWRITTEN VERSION OF THE OG] *** WARNING: Contains extremely triggering and mature content in almost every single chapter in this book, read at your own discretion. *** "That's not a fair deal." She whispered, more to herself than to me. "I know." "Sleep over but with no sex?" "No sex." I confirmed. She pursed her lips together and clenched her hands on the sides of the cabinet. Her eyes flitted over to the remains of two lines of ket. There was still a dusting of powder on the side. "Fine." One word. It was a miracle. I was certain she'd say no, but I'd wanted to try anyway. "No one can know." She reaffirmed. But as soon as those words were out she scraped the remaining powder onto her finger pads and snorted it. *** Cassie Moore is a walking mystery, but the ghosts of her childhood are neither glamorous nor intriguing. She is broken, and the perpetrator stays hidden in plain sight, taunting her with her very existence everyday at school. And one day, it all comes to a climax and her entire world shifts. This is a beautiful romance between two people who love each other more and more every day that goes by. Two people who better each other, a boy who sets a girl free. This is a journey between a girl and her emotions that are continually working against her. This is a tale of how two misfortunate people grow out and with each other in adversity.Complete

||| A Memoir Of Sorts ||| --- Her breath had started to pick up, they were rough. It was then that she crashed into a rough hard chest. Ralph had been distracted, his dog George had been walking in a funny manner. It was like a hop, sort of. When he had been looking down at his dog with a smile adorning his freckled face, he crashed into someone with rough breathing. Erin looked up at a kind looking face; his dull green eyes were familiar. His ginger hair swept over his forehead, it was like any moment he could make one of those cliché hair flips. God, she hoped he wouldn't flip his hair. Ralph looked down at the heavy breathing girl, she had icy blue eyes that were piercing, but they were also filled with some sort of fear. He wondered why she would be so filled with fear at this moment. He was worried for her; her heavy breathing has lessened but was still there. "Are you alright?" He asked hurriedly. --- This is a true story. This story has edited settings, for the sake of the said story. Ages and Names are changed, for the sake of the story. But, the important, crucial parts of the story remain. This was a difficult time in my life, and I was an idiot when it came to him. I'll admit that now, denying is useless. ME 2 YEARS OLDER: This thing is really dramatic and I mostly just keep it up to see how I approved while writing it and how I've improved since but like just. dRAMATIC. Not even good dramatic tbh. Like why. I mostly wrote this to get over stuff and I did and I have so this is really weird to read back and to people who are characters aghhComplete
