I walked into Sammi's hospital room, a piece of paper and a pen in my hands. I looked at my best friend lying on the bed.
All her blonde, beautiful curly hair was gone and her once bright green eyes were now dull and lifeless. Her cheeks were hollow and she was deathly pale. You could see all her bones, from her lack of eating. I hated seeing her like this.
I smiled at her, and sat in front of her. "I got the paper and pen. Why'd you need this anyways?" I asked confused. She slowly sat up and took the paper and pen.
"Could you get me something to bare down on?" She asked nicely. I nodded and hoped up. I scanned the room and found a spiral notebook. I grabbed it and handed it to her. She set it on her legs and began scribbling down on the paper. I sat down in front of her, looking around the boring room. It could definitely use some colour to it.
"Here." She said, snapping ne out of my thoughts. I turned my head and saw her holding the paper out to me. I grabbed it and looked at her messy, but readable handwriting.
'My Bucket List-
1. Escape this hell hole.
2. Go on a huge shopping spree.
3. Buy tons of candy.
4. Go on a plane.
5. Play the guitar.
6. Interview someone famous.
7. Get some paint and make hand prints on mine and your walls in our bedrooms.
8. Make a smoothie filled with candy.
9. Go backstage to a concert.
10. Meet One Direction.
11. Beat this cancer.'
My eyes teared up. I wiped them away. I put the paper down and grabbed Sammi's small and frail hands. I looked at her tear filled eyes, with my own tear filled ones.
"I promise, Sammi. I promise we'll do every fucking thing on this list. I don't care what it takes." I promised, nodding at her...

She Never Knew...
"Mom, not today. I don't even know why you're making me go. Today is dads..." I didn't want to finish and remind her of dads' birthday. My phone kept ringing, I already knew it was Dakota, he's my childhood best friend. "Just take your brother to school, please!" She exclaimed. She looked miserable. I shut the door and smelled the freshly cut grass. I smiled to myself knowing it was my dad's favorite smell. "Alexandria! We're gonna be late, can you stop daydreaming and get in the car." My brother, Cory hollered. He hates to think about dad. He just forgets. I Jeep Wrangler and I started the car, Cory rolled down his windows. "Are we sitting together at lunch today?" Cory asked me. "No I want you to sit with your friends, I'll be alright alone." I told him. "Alright Alex, believe it or not I actually love you. And I love you enough to tell you, you need friends." He admitted. "Have fun. Love you too, Corky." I laughed at the name I gave him when I was a kid. He smiled at me then left into the school. I went on to go to a flower shop. I stopped and got out. I walked in the shop. "Ally, do you have my order, the cars running?" I asked Ally. "Yeah Alex, I have it. Your order for 1 dozen Chocolate Cosmos, 2 dozen Daises, and 1 dozen yellow Roses." "Thanks Ally." I grabbed all the flowers then ran back to the car. I drove to the grave. I threw all my stuff into my bag. I grabbed the flowers and I pulled my bag over my shoulder and got out. I looked around and saw people young and old coming here to see their loved ones. I saw my families graves. Almost my whole family will be buried here. My grandpa always said it was sacred. I put the Cosmos on my dad's grave. The Daises on my grandmothers and the Roses on my grandpas. I talked and talked to them till I pull my pack of cigarettes out of my bag along with a lighter. I put the cancer stick in my mouth and lit it. "You guys are probably really mad right now. Blame peer pressure in 9th grade."Complete

I shout nearly falling. He catches me as soon as I fall. "Ms. I call for no trouble-" "Are you always this huge?" I said interrupting him. He guffaws for a moment then he replies. "Ma'am I am always this huge. But could you stop drooling on me?" We both looked down and that wasn't drool. I accidently peed on his shoes. My face turned a faint pink. He didn't look so amused by the action though. "What the hell woman?! You just ruined my-" Lexy hurries over seeing I am in trouble. Her eyes dart to me angrily. After it seemed like hours of her staring at me she gives the buff guy a puppy eyed look. "Sir I am so sorry. My sister is just well as we can both see very drunk." He looks at her with annoyance in his eyes. "Well no fucking kidding." He says then he storms off to somewhere. Lexy gives me a 'I am going to kill you' look. "Kay how on earth do you manage to pee on someone without knowing- you know what never mind don't answer that question." She says with a very irritated expression on her face. We turn to leave but the buff man is back this time he looks more pissed than before. "I will send you the bill." He says as he gives Lexy a paper.

It Started in Spanish
Anthony stops at my bare shoulder and leans down to press a hot kiss onto the skin. "You can't say things like that.." He delivers another, this one to my collarbone and making my words grow weak, unconvincing ... even as they come from my own mouth. "We're supposed to be ... friends." Anthony is quiet at first, the only response I get being his free hand drifting over to cage my body into the small space between us. "I know .." He trails off. It goes dead silent for a second. "But I ... don't think that's enough for me, B." There's a sharp breath from me at the words and a flush of heat to my cheeks when Anthony pushes my hair over my shoulder. His actions expose me to him, showing off my bare shoulders in a way that's downright indecent as the straps pulled down now hang loosely off my arms. "I don't want .. to be just a friend to you." And then, there's another kiss to pair. Although it isn't a simple peck this time. It's an actual kiss now, slow and softly pressed onto my neck. Beatrix thought she'd never trust another guy again. After being burned, both physically and emotionally by her ex-boyfriend Rudy in her senior year of high school, Beatrix's trust in people is low. That is, until she transfers to the esteemed, private Highland University. It's a fresh start to give the girl what she wants most: A shot at normalcy. The plan is simple .. just keep her head down, study her ass off, try to become a functional person once again and hopefully make one friend or two. Everything was supposed to start over that year. She'd had high hopes of starting anew and faithfully prepared to blend in to the background. And the day goes well. Until she sits down in Spanish, where she meets Anthony Gamaro. After a slight misunderstanding, Beatrix finds herself in an odd friendship with the 20 year old football player. One that slowly helps her regain the confidence she'd long lost before.
Life SUCKS.
"Treasure what're you doing awake by this time". I heard my mum voice trailing behind. I shivered,I knew perfectly the rules of not being awake by this time. I would only get scolded at and maybe my phone seized. But it's not really my fault for wanting a distraction from my messy life. I just couldn't take it anymore,I was tired of thinking of my life I was tired of blaming God for the circumstances before me. Sometimes I feel like a burden and sometimes I wished I was never born. Life is cruel and learning from you mistakes doesn't count anymore. I have been told about how things would be fine by my mates. Encouraging words to keep me going, but it's simply not working. I would have committed suicide but I don't want to put my mum through that pain. She is my most favorite person in the universe. "Tress I'm talking to you. What are you doing awake?" I could feel my mum presence right behind me and dare not move. "Mum I just woke up and was just scrolling through Facebook sorry". I said after waking up from my trance. "You know the rules,no phones at night. Don't make me believe you have a boyfriend. Goodnight and put off that phone. Mum loves you. Goodnight Tress". "Goodnight Mum,sorry for breaking the rules. It won't happen again. I love you too". I smiled at her and watched her leave. I was actually texting my boyfriend.. Thank goodness he didn't call tho. That was really close, didn't want my mum to worry about me....Complete
One of them has to die ✔️
*Completed* T.W. This short story is based around the loss of a friend, and coping with that loss with therapy. ~~~ I placed the letter back down onto the small coffee table, wiping away the tears that rested in the corner of my eyes. "How do you feel, Samuel?" the doctor asked, hovering her pen over a piece of paper. "I feel the same way I did the last time you made me read that letter" I responded back, a slight bitterness in my voice. "And how did you feel?" "Lost. Lonely. Hurt. Betrayed." I listed, watching as she wrote it all down, listening as the pen scratched against the paper roughly. "Anything else?" She pressed on, staring down on me like an ant. "I lost my best friend. How do you think I fucking feel?" The tone of my voice made her flinch slightly, but she quickly regained her professionalism. "Samuel, I need you to calm down. Shouting at me isn't going to do you any good". She pushed her glasses further up her face as she scribbled more onto the page. "Shouting?" I scoffed, "I wasn't shouting, and I have the right to be angry at someone who's forcing me to re-read my dead best friends suicide note everytime I'm forced to see them". ~~~ [started 26/03/2021]Complete
LOVE'S WAYS
My eyes slowly opened and a searing pain came to my head causing me to shut my eyes tightly again. In order to lessen the pain I took a deep breath, which made me realize how heavy my chest was. Man where in the world was I? Opening my eyes for the second time, a bright light shone directly over head. Wincing I shook my head to clear it, and blinked a couple of times to get used to the brightness. My eyes wandered around the spotless white room. Okay so one place in particular was out of question; My room. Suddenly my eyes landed on an IV a couple of feet away from me. A hospital ! An alarming thought penetrated my brain. I tried to think of the last thing that happened. Saying goodbye to Jessi. Going to a random party, beating the crap out of Seth. Getting back into my corvette. Blackness..... A car accident? I'm in here because of a car accident? Another alarming thought entered my head. I tried to sit up and failed, looking at my chest, the first thing I saw was messy, blonde hair. My mind perked up in hope.... I slowly picked up a piece of hair, off the girl's face. Seeing Jessi's peaceful face in return, put a bright smile on mine. I looked towards my other hand and saw that her fingers were gently intertwined with mine. I let out a happy sigh. Carefully and reassuringly squezing her slim hand. Unfortunatly it was a little too loud causing her to stir a bit, her head burrowing deeper into my chest. I tried not to breath as loudly just so she could go back to sleep. This action seemed to work as Jessi began to drift off into sleep, her breathing more even now. Looking at her figure next to me made me realize one important detail. I reposted this story and before it had over 2 thousand reads. Can we do this again??Complete
