ON HOLD

"You know Salena. Holding on to anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die. Right now, you're drinking the poison." She just ignores me and keeps on walking. I sigh. "You know, I promised you. I promised that I would come home. That I would come back to YOU!" She stops and slightly looks at me.

"Your point is?" She asks softly.

"My point is that I'm not giving up just yet. I'm not giving up on you, on us. And I never will. Not untill you're mine. And that, I promise you, Salena."

"Well, William. I suggest you give up, because there is no 'us'."

***

When William had to leave California behind for New York, he had to leave the love of his life, Salena Hough, behind and begin over. But after a few years, when he returns to California, he has to live with the fact that she doesn't love him anymore... or so he thought...
The only problem is that William won't stop trying untill she is his again. As the year goes on, his task of coming home to her becomes harder and harder. Will he eventually have to move on from the girl he loves, or will she allow him to finally come home to her?All Rights Reserved

Sailing With Destiny by Bookworm_Tina

"Do you have any idea how damn frustrating you are?" He trapped me between him and the wall. Stubbornly, I looked squarely at him, "You say this like it's news to you." He pursed his lips, clenched his jaw, and stared at me with darkened eyes before he closed the gap between us. I stared at him squarely as I felt his body heat radiated off me, my lips parted and my breathing picked up a notch. He placed one hand on the wall and brought his lips an inch away from mine as the other hand trailed up my arms, "I am going to make you feel my frustration." I ran my finger along his jaw and dared him with my eyes, "I'm Mila," I grinned, "You can try but we both know you won't succeed." He ran his thumb over my bottom lip, "Don't take my love for you as weakness," he stated and captured my lips with a fiery kiss. The road to love for Mila and Mitchell wasn't easy, but they finally reached their destination after many bumps along the way. Blissfully in love, they set off on another journey together but instead of the Highway, they hit the high seas. However, love and life aren't always smooth sail and they learn that when they embark on their adult life after college. Mitchell is trying to prove to his father he is worthy of handling the grand Clarke Empire one day while Mila is determined to make her mark in the medical world. Two strong personalities have finally accepted they love each other but both are set in their ways and stubborn with unbreakable egos. Can their love weather storms in their path or will things like jealousy, insecurity, and family stand in their way to happily ever after?

hell of a summer by jlovess2read

"Do you hate me, Travis?" I whisper, so quietly that it's almost completely inaudible, with a voice so full of suppressed emotion that it slightly cracks. "Yes," he whispers back, so breathless and honestly that it makes my heart drop. I open my mouth to speak, unsure of what I was even going to say. But, before I can, he grabs the back of my neck, and smashes our lips together. ------------------------- Travis Hart has never considered himself an angry person, but something about Jonah Davids lit a spark in him. And before you get the wrong idea, that was not a good thing. Jonah Davids was Travis' annoying next door neighbor, aka, his little sister's best friend since childhood, aka, his little sister's biggest crush. Oh, and on top of that, his lifelong, sworn enemy due to a ten second, miscommunication that happened when they were only eight years old. Ever since then, Travis has spent ten years hating Jonah Davids. But, when Jonah has to move in with the Hart family for the summer due to family reasons, will that change? Tension builds throughout the Hart family's household as the two get closer, swearing to each other that it's only temporary. But the thing is, there is a fine line between enemies and lovers; but the one thing they both have in common, is that neither of these groups can get each other out of their heads.

And sometimes, they're a lot closer to you than you think. 18 year old Hana is forced into moving across the country to a foreign land, full of people she doesn't know, just for her father's business. She fears that she won't ever fit in, but that all changes when she comes across a mysterious boy, whom she can't seem to get enough of. Secrets are revealed, blood is shed and tears are cried but does Hana have what it takes to live this life she's been thrown into? Or will her depression swallow her whole as she fights to keep her head above water. "The mafia it seems is no place for a girl like you" "I'd rather die than be seen with the likes of you" "I can't! "I can't do this anymore. You lie you cheat you do everything in your power to make me not trust you! I've just found out you were using me and for what? To what end? Huh?" You scream into the boys face but he doesn't even flinch. His eyes still dark and stormy pools. "I trusted you. Maybe even loved you! What am I? Just a fucking toy to satisfy your musings?" You can't help but let a tear to slip down your flush cheek, allowing it to leave a warm traitorous trail down your face that cools and dries upon contact with the air around you. "Maybe that was the old me, but you aren't just a play thing now. You're my world"

"Marek, don't do this. Keep your captainship. I'll tell the truth about what happened and we'll both be out of the deal." "But-" "I don't know what your doing, if you think this is going to win you attention or sympathy. Or maybe you are being a noble prat and doing as 'you should'. Plus, I don't mean anything to you. Never have, never will. So please, please, stop acting like I'm special. " "But you are." And then his voice cracked, and I cracked with it. ------------------------ She's sick of his arrogant ways, and the bragging. With her goal being to slap some sense into him, she makes a deal; they act like a couple in every sense of the word and the first one to fall in love? Loses. It's only when she realises he may not be such a terrible man after all that she doubts her ability to win. But what if the one thing she put on the line is the one thing she would die trying to protect? Will she allow a relationship to blossom under pressure from her past? **Disclaimer** The drawing in the cover isn't mine (but it was so pretty I used it anyway). If you know who it belongs to, tell me and I can give them the rightful credit. **Implication of sex and some minor bad language. Do not read unless mature enough.**

Out of my Control by LexiRein

Book 7 in the It just Happened Series. (Can be a stand alone but to better understand it read Never Say Never.) Love is supposed to be great and for awhile it was, until it wasn't. I had it all! The perfect husband, well for the most part. Everyone has their flaws but Johnny he was the best. Then I lost him and my world fell apart. How can you move on from your other half? Then there is River Fox the one person who will just not leave. Just because he made a promise to my husband doesn't mean he owes me anything. He infuriates me to no end! I just can't get him out of my mind, and it kills me! "Katrina." He never calls me by my name. It's always princess, stubborn, a pain in his ass. "Look at me." I can't because when you call my name it does things to me, I know it shouldn't! "Please, just stop!" Do. Not. Cry! I can't take the guilt anymore. "Just go. Please!" The first tears fall as the door slams shut. I'm betraying him by wanting his close friend. Even though I try to fight, I can't resist him. I hate it! I hate him, but mostly hate myself for the desire I have for the one man I shouldn't. How did everything get so out of my control?

The Moments by xxmarley413

Jordan Wills wants to die. It's a desire so strong that it seems impossible to ignore. It can't be pushed down or blocked out. The only thing that can distract him is fear. He lives to be afraid. The exhilaration of haunted houses, roller coasters, near death experiences, anything that makes one's heart race, but most of all heights. He wants to know what life is like at the top of the world, at the peak of everything. He's spent his whole life certain that nothing can save him from himself, but then. There's always a 'but then'. Madelyn Sheen is dying. Terminal illness is an endless battle that she fights valiantly each day. She wants to survive and live a long, normal life. She dreams of a picket fence house and a family. The only thing keeping her sane as her life slips out of her grasp is routine and order. Everything has a place and purpose. Everyday is scheduled down to the smallest detail. Nothing changes. It's like she put her life on hold until she gets better, but then. There's always a 'but then'. When two teenagers of opposite interests and goals become intertwined, they find that they balance each other out. Together they make a plan to take the other's advice and learn to live the right way before they lose the chance forever. They soon come to find that maybe life isn't as limited as they had previously believed.

"R-R-Rich-Richie-" Bill tried to protect you in some way but got cut off. "You too Bill?! Honestly I don't give a fuck anymore!" Richie left the hideout. You wiped your tears as the losers stared in shock. You shot a smile at them. "Let's hope we'll meet again." You said as you opened the hatch. "B-b-bye Y-Y-/N." Bill said. You smiled and left. ⚠️ I DO NOT OWN THE MOVIE IT AND I DONT OWN YOU EITHER! ⚠️ TW: Mention of gore,suicide,death,blood,mature language,horrible dad jokes,pedophillia,abuse,bullying and more. don't wonder why I might start changing the way I write chapters,it's called ⭐developing⭐ Anyways without further a doodle doo let's go :D THEY FUCKING REMOVED IT FROM NETFLIX SO IF I GET ANYTHING WRONG TELL ME.
