Breathe Again by lpark052

Madi is a 27 year old widow. When a tragic accident leaves her grief-stricken, she sets off to travel the world and heal. Will the mysterious Writer that comes into her life by chance be able to show her that it's her circumstances that makes her who she is? Who he falls in love with? Or is it just her story he falls in love with? Now she must decide if she can love again, or if tragedy will define her. "I can hear you thinking, what's on your mind?" Rob asked looking down at her with a sweet smile "Nothing, just how long it's been since I've had such a good time with someone else. I don't want it to end as cheesy as that sounds." Madi told him. "It doesn't have to be the end, you know? We still have tonight, and tomorrow. Remember when I told you once by accident, twice by chance and three times a pattern?" Madi nodded at him. "I think the fourth time is by choice and anything after that is fate." with that he finally leaned down and their lips met with a sweet and soft kiss. He felt familiar, like coming home after long hard day, like the first warm breeze of Summer and the last frost of Winter before Spring. He made the guilt disappear, made her feel like she could get more than one chance at love in this life."

Not to just float above all the sharks but to make it out alive and keep one another sane. ••• "Lucas's strong hands pulled me up and I sat like a lifeless doll in front of him. He gave me yet another blank stare then turned, once again, to the water as if it was actually entertaining him. I felt frustrated as I huffed loudly to get his attention. He turned to me still with his bone-chilling stare. It was a cold stare but I still found my safety in it oddly enough. I stared at him blankly getting lost, forgetting why I came over here.

My Confessional by PolarizedBoy

Writing a memoir at only fifteen years old has taught me a lot. Giving me the time to reflect on the lessons I learned the hard way and the mistakes I've made thus far. I learned, if there is at least two sides to every story, there is at least two sides to every person. What could be a smile is a broken heart in a deeper reality. We all live in a society where nothing is as it seems, the people being more complex and astonishing than the countless novels we read. And in a world ruled by tragedies, we are the survivors. Getting through our own history, more important to us then what we read in school. We take our story one page at a time, word by word because in the end, it will all be worth it. I dedicate this memoir to the people who have been with me on my journey of self discovery, even if only in spirit. Mom- Who has made non stop sacrifices to ensure my happiness and well being. Nothing would be possible without you! Grandma- Who has inspired me and made a huge influence to the person I am now and who I'll be in the future. Callie- My own personal slave, illustrator, editor and full time best friend. You know I love you <3 Ariana Grande- My celebrity inspiration, showing me that it's ok to "love who you love, no one can judge, follow your heart and don't give up", getting me through the long and lonely nights. Be sure to buy her new album "Moonlight", hopefully to be released this year and her new fragrance "Ari" in accordance to the "Be You" campaign. Adam Young (Of Owl City)- My first artist I listened to, your songs make me think of the past and the new adventures to come. Sam Tsui- The album "Make it up" taught me to not be scared of not knowing what's going to happen next. Being young and naive Isn't necessarily a bad thing, as it brings way to new experiences, to be vulnerable and crying doesn't make you any less of a person. That we're all human and it's ok to embrace it.

It deals with the last 9 months of Summer Anderson's life told from her POV. Warning: Due to content this book is not suitable for readers under 17. Love Do we ever know what it truly is? Is it in the hugs from a parent? In the laughter shared with a best friend? Or is it the words that slip from the lips of the boy you want to love you back? I don't know, maybe it's a combination of all three, or maybe just maybe - it's in the eyes of the person staring back at you through the mirror. The person whom you need to love, in order love another. For me staring into the mirror only brings pain, regret, and shame. What I've done, the one thing I thought would give me love, brought nothing but shame. This person staring back at me...I don't know who she is, I don't know who I am anymore. Love. Do we ever know what it is?

Bird Wings by LauraTiffany11312

Wren's life is about to change forever - but not how she expects it to. Kidnapped on her wedding day, she finds herself trapped in a mountain cave, unable to return home with no company outside of the inhuman creature that took her. *** "Wait, Wren! Not that way!" It was darker here and panic limited her vision, but she could see it reaching for her; its wings like two huge looming shadows behind it. "Get away! Don't touch me! No, let me go!" She shrieked. She screamed in earnest as a hand took hold of her arm, and then even more when her own hand reached for something to hang onto and grasped at empty air. She had been scrambling towards a sudden drop! The hands hauled her back, but she still struggled. She didn't want to look at it, and she still wasn't sure she wouldn't rather take her chances with the open air instead. "Stop it, I'm not going to hurt you! You'll hit your head on the rock or something. Wren, please!" It knew her name. Somehow it knew her. She was going to die! "Let me go! Stop touching me!" She was sitting on the rocky floor now with her back against an uneven wall, and it was trying to pin her down and hold her still. She kept her eyes turned away and struggled helplessly, but it was no use. It was strong like a human man too, and she couldn't keep it off of her. The wings had moved until they curved around them both and shut out a lot of the light. Its face was so near hers that she could feel its breath brushing against her skin. "Please just look at me for a second. Just look. I'm not going to hurt you." One of the hands grabbed her chin and forced her head to turn, and then she was looking straight into a pair of dark brown eyes. It had a human face too. She had been expecting something monstrous or ghastly, and the surprise made her falter for a moment. He looked young, with a bad haircut and an earnest expression on his face. "I'll let go of you, okay? Just don't lunge around like that anymore, you'll get hurt." He whispered.
