I opened my eyes.
Chocolate brown eyes were smiling down on me.
I closed my eyes. Breathe.
I opened them again.
Nothing.
It's like a series of events had happened in my life but I was never really a part of it. I was merely an onlooker as each event unfolds into another.
And before I knew it, as the last chapter unfolds, the author of my life was already done with me. 'The End' or so I thought, was scribbled at the bottom of the page as if it was mocking me. Whatever that means.
But even if the ink fades; even if it is 'THE END',
Out of all the jumbled words formed in my life, one name will always haunt me.
Carter.

Wings of Butterflies
Hoping to shake this human off once and for all, I twisted my body around rapidly with a plan to put my words into action. When I was on my way to push this man as deep into the floor as possible my body all of the sudden went rigid. When my body froze solid, so did my brain. It took me several seconds to get out of my trance and when I finally did, all that was running through my mind were two words. Those eyes. All of the feelings that I had been hiding for the last 160 years were now coming crashing down on me. They were literally shooting out from this human's eyes like fire. A fire that burned into my core.Complete
Save Me
I was drowning. I knew that. I also knew that the hands around my throat, pushing me deeper into the river water was the cause. What I didn't know was who was drowning me and why. It hurt thinking. It hurt to do anything right now. But I still screamed under the cold water and pushed the hands away as hard as I could. It didn't have much effect. I fought and fought, but I was getting weaker, and colder. The pain was overbearing. I couldn't breathe. It was the worst pain imaginable; and as the hands that were around my neck were forcibly ripped off by some unknown force, I slipped deeper into the depths of the river. My hair was straight above me along with my arms. My eyes were open and the water burned. A darkness started to pull me under, taking the pain away. I felt a small pressure around my waist, before the darkness completely consumed me. The last thing I remember is thinking, save me.Complete![Sorority Squabbles [COMPLETED]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/111242806-256-k720034.jpg)
Sorority Squabbles [COMPLETED]
Blakely isn't the prettiest girl with her dark brown hair and green eyes. She doesn't catch every guys' eye. She's more of a social butterfly and doesn't care what your religion, race, or sexuality is as long as you're a decent person. Her best friend's name is Maggie. She's the kind of girl to sit and read comic books and dye her hair blue. She's not a typical covergirl but no one is. She's not afraid to be different and stand out. She has a dark past and a few scars but it makes her the person she is today. One day as Blakely and Maggie were walking, they bumped into the popular kids known as the Zetas. It's basically a homemade sorority, and not the good kind. Like the kind of homemade coloring from a 2 year old that goes on the refrigerator and suddenly "disappears" into the trash can. One Zeta stands out; Oliver. He moved here last July and joined Leadlif University. No one knows much about him other than Maggie's boyfriend; Jay. Everyone calls him Jumbo (as in Jumbo Marshmallows) because he did the chubby bunny challenge and succeeded by stuffing the whole bag in his mouth. Oliver's a guy who's smile lights up the room. (I know that sounds cliche but just bare with me). His light brown hair and hazel eyes catch every existing females' attention. She thought no one would notice her until one day Oliver decided that different wasn't all bad after all.Complete

In this tale of vulnerability, adolescence and painful reckoning, the arrogance of youth demands a price. * "'You're what, Louise?' he asked. 'You're sorry? What am I supposed to do here? How can I turn this around? How can I tell you that everything you want and feel is reciprocated, when I have to go back to work and pretend none of it happened?' 'I don't know the answer!' I cried. 'Neither of us do.' I threw my hands up in defeat. He caught them before they could fall. 'But how do I go back to living without your words?' His voice became a whisper. He squeezed my fingers tightly, closing his eyes and bringing them to his chest. 'I need how you make me feel, Luiza. I need it to feel alive. I won't stay away. No one's made me feel this good before. And I can't stand myself for wanting what I want. What do I do?' I was a violin bow on the verge of splintering.

A thousand different lifetimes to choose from, stemming from and decided entirely by my next choice. And in the end, I chose incorrectly. I held his face between my hands, feeling the echoing pulse of his skin. I brought his face to mine. I kissed him."Complete

A Poet's Secret
Being in love with your best friend isn't the ideal life situation but for Zora, it's her only life situation. Secretly harboring her feelings for her best friend, Sierra, Zora pours her emotions into her journal in the form of poetry. After years of keeping her attraction for her friend at bay and trying to deny her feelings by forcing herself to love a boy who unconditionally loves her, Zora's favorite emotional outlet becomes the cause of her life falling apart as the truth finally comes out. ***** It was happening again. It was dark, sunset, I waited for her to be done with volleyball practice 'because she was my ride'. Somehow we wandered from the gym to the football field and we were sitting at the very top of the bleachers staring at each other. Her dark hair mirrored the direction of the wind, the setting sun being replaced by the brightness of her smile. We were sitting so close I could feel her warmth. It was an unusual situation. Friends don't do this. We held eye contact for a long time before I couldn't take it anymore and just closed my eyes. It wasn't real, she was just my friend. Then, I felt her tuck a strand of my curly hair behind my ear. That with the chill of the night sent shivers down my spine and a swarm of butterflies attacked my stomach. I reopened my eyes. If she didn't want me, why did she look at me that way? I held her hand and I held it for so long because I didn't know if we'd have another moment like this. We talk and laugh and she tells me I'm pretty and I ask her if she'd just noticed that and we laugh again. I realize the feelings I felt in that moment were not just the intense feelings of attraction that I felt every time I was with her. Warmth flooded to my face and if it wasn't for my dark complexion, my blush would be noticeable. I look into her dark-colored eyes and I come to the conclusion that I'm royally fucked and I'm probably also in love.Complete
