verb
deprive of feeling or responsiveness
NUMB ....
This word described me in every way humanly possible.
I felt numb.
I was numb.
Numb to all the pain. To the mental abuse, numb to the harsh words, numb to the rumors. I was numb to it ALL.
I whole heartedly believed there was no way to escape this, this feeling, this numbness. I didn't want to to. It somehow gave me closure.
But this was before I met him and before he changed it all.

COMPLETED✅ Two high school teenagers finding themselves, analyzing this ever changing world, and building love.

Today I'm turning my fiction to reality. ❣️•••❣️ Excerpt: Just as I was about to seek shelter under some building's roof, the tires of a car come to a halt, I wonder who might pity the lonely girl walking in the rain.

Eyebrows raised expectantly. He sounds annoyed, like he regrets his decision to ever stop and help me. ❣️•••❣️ #5 in cynical #2 in loveandfriendship #1 in opinionated #4 in ihatelife #10 in nerdgirl #10 in HighschoolRomance #26 in GoodGirlBadBoy *contains mature themes. *contains cursing.Complete

And all the attention of any girl he could ever want. But his life is utterly miserable. He's had two of the most important people in his life ripped away from at too young of an age. He chooses to numb his pain with alcohol and drugs. The weak man's way out. He built a wall around his heart, and he won't let anyone in. When Ashlyn and Caiden cross paths one night, Caiden finds himself -much to his dismay- opening up to her. And Ashlyn finds herself willing listen to anything he has to say, and trying to help him out of his dark place. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We both smiled at each other, our bodies pressed together. Our fingers intertwined. He leaned over me as I stood up on my tip-toes. Our lips pressed together, and I immediately felt the goose bumps. My knees were weak, and butterflies flew in my stomach. I dropped my hands from his and pushed them through his thick, soft hair. He pulled me tighter up against him, like he couldn't get enough. Every part of me wanted to hold on to him, and never let go. I would never, ever get used to this feeling. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Highest Rankings: #1 in Hookups #1 in Players #1 NumbnessComplete
