15 year old Clementine Summers has been used to people leaving her for others. Like when she was 7 her best friend left her for a girl who ended up bullying Clementines friend. Or the time her sister Jane ran away with her boyfriend on on Em's 9th birthday. If she made a list of people who have left her for other people than she would have a list of people who, in her eyes, saw someone better and prettier than her.
When she was only 13, Em's father took her away from her mother. They were fighting about weather they should give her up for adoption or keep her.
I was 13 years old when my life changed. I couldn't find the words to beg or ask or to say really anything. My father was my best friend. He was close to me but distant to everyone else. He said it was because I was everything like him. For 2 years I was my father for Halloween. My mother though. She didn't seem to like me. I knew she loved me but just not the way I want to be loved. My mother and father were fighting. Not the kind of fighting over house issues or infidelity, but kids. Me. We were running out of money.

The Art of Abandonment
"I have been telling myself all this time that I'm fine, that it doesn't matter. But today I saw pictures of her at a family cookout and I just wanted to have been there and to have hugged her and talked with her like we used to before she decided that I wasn't good enough. I wanted to push everyone else out of the picture and have it go back to the way it was before she decided I wasn't like her and I never would be. I wanted it back. It has been six freaking months and it still hurt like hell to see her face. If I am doing the right thing by keeping my distance, why does it still hurt?

Two broken souls in the midst of a crazy world. Two souls running away from their past. There was no light at the end of the tunnel. The tunnel was cracking, slowly closing in. When these two connect, as if they were set on the same path, light creeps in through the cracks, and for or a moment, the tunnel seems to have a way out, but what if it collapses before they make it? - "You saved my life." The words come out as a whisper, I've been dying to say that. I thank god every day that he came into my life when he did. "Fuck Vivian, you don't know how much I needed you." I tear up just a little as he speaks, I don't know the last time I cried happy tears. I bring my hands up to cup his cheeks, resting my forehead against his. "No matter how much I push, I don't mean it. Please don't give up on me." My words seem to relieve him in some way as I feel his shoulders relax. "Even when I'm gone, I'll be by your side, forever." He brings his hand, sticking his pinky out. "pinky promise."I wrap mine around his, placing a kiss on his lips. Warning before you read!! This is my first book! This book will contain topics of SA, eating disorders, and mature content, if any of these things may bother you in anyway, please scroll! I hope when I finish this book I can public a clean version, with a different perspective leaving out these topics, but for now, this is how i've envisioned this story to go! Enjoy -Ash🌸

Worth the Risk
August & Colin | WRU series | book 1 We take risks. We make mistakes. We lie. We love. We hurt. We lose total control. I took a risk. I paid the price. I made a mistake. I felt the guilt. I lied. I lie. I loved. I try not to. I hurt. I still do. I lost control. I'm losing again. I try to stick to my plan, I try to follow my rules, I try to silence my heart, I try to keep control of the domino stones that represent my life. But one domino fell and the rest just followed. *** "We shouldn't do this," he whispers against my lips. I should applaud him for having the strength to act on that thought because I haven't been able to. At one point I wanted to, but his touches made the impulse to stop vanish. Now, the only thing I want to act on is the longing inside my chest as I think about demolishing the space between us. "Do you want to stop?" I can feel his frown against my forehead. He nudges my nose before placing a featherlight kiss on my mouth. His hands slide over my jawline, his thumbs slowly caressing my cheeks. He gives me another kiss. Slow and deliberately, as if he's still debating the answer to my question as he slicks his tongue over mine. He softly sucks on my bottom lip, dragging it with him when he pulls away. "I can't," he confesses before he presses his lips back on mine. *** All Rights Reserved (Do not copy this story, thank you :))Complete

She would come back inside after a long day, absolutely covered in dirt after her adventures. She also loved rough housing at recess with her classmates and wrestling with her dad on the weekends. She especially loves her mom. Clementine knew her mom was the most kind and beautiful person in the world. Clem loves when her mom would do her hair, dress her up all pretty, and dance with her. Those were her favorite things. She knew her dad loves her mom too. Well, loved. That was all before the accident. Clementine's dad got distant. He no longer wrestled with her on weekends, helped her with homework, or even talk about her mom. His attitude changed drastically as he was more grumpy and never had any patience.
