He was a Hollywood movie-star.
I worked in a coffee shop.
He lived for the thrill.
I lived for safe and sound.
He lived carefree.
I felt like I had the world's responsibilities on my shoulders.
He wanted adventure.
I wanted a home.
He may have wanted me.
But I needed him.
They say love isn't easy. They say love is hard and not everyone gets to have their first love. To find someone who they can consider their soulmates. But no one ever said love would be the end of you.
My best friend is going away to L.A. to become an actor. And he will come back as a Hollywood Star. And I would still be the same, pathetic, girl who he left behind in his conquest to achieve heights, right when I needed him the most.

Tangled Love
"You only live once." This is the overly used excuse that we use every time we make a decision and that's fine because it's true. This also goes with 'Love'. For once in our lives, we would eventually experience this love - the kind of love that just can't die. A love, though not being returned, we are still willing to take the risk. We expect that somehow, someday we will be rewarded. But how long can we give that love a chance? Are we really capable of giving so much without asking anything in return? Are we really capable of being happy, just seeing the person we love happy with someone else? How can we untangle something so twisted like LOVE? How can we survive without breaking? How can we live without hating? Brace yourself for it will be a long roller coaster ride to what we call 'HAPPINESS' - D A L E (myLovelymind) Cover by: @ShebaHanna 🎉Complete
Mr. Hollywood
You would think that having a Hollywood star as your best friend would be the most amazing thing in the world right? Going to all the parties, meeting other stars, getting to go on set to their movies, red carpets, fancy clothes, 5 star hotels, movie premiers. Sounds like a pretty awesome friend to have right? Well wrong. I had a best friend but then he up and left me only to become Hollywood's new it boy while I was left behind in Kansas to deal with horrible people in school who just love to hate me, a new step dad who works me to the bone day and night, a mother who forgot I exist, and no way out. Except after I had just learned to live with this horrible existence of mine Mr. Superstar came back! And the best part is he totally hates me now. Well that was just fine with me because I have hated him ever since he turned into stupid Mr. Hollywood. ________________________________________________________ I know this sounds like a cliche story but I have put in a few twists of this on my own. So I hope you enjoy it!Complete

Can I date you?
"Can I date you?" His brows were very expressive and now the light of his green eyes shone when I showed a difficult expression; it was after all reflected in his eyes. "No" His body that was crouched to level against my small frame stood up; he was massively intimidating yet he always reminds me of the goofy joker we have in the back of our high school class. "It's fine, I'll ask you again" "Give up, I don't want to fall in love with a player like you, no offense" I bit my lower lip in contemplation, I didn't hate him nor dislike him. In particular, we get along well to the point that it still surprises me today. But I just don't want to get hurt. I can already see it in the future and I know I'm too negative but I just don't want to risk my heart for something I knew won't go well. 'But what if it did?' My heart whispered but I buried it down, not wanting to fall into my truest desire and his green playful eyes. "None taken" He gave me that familiar smirk of his which left me somewhat annoyed and when I was about to turn back, I stop in my tracks when I heard his words. "You know I'll always ask you for a date because I like you right? This is not a joke or a bet. I genuinely like you so if you finally have the decision to agree on a date with me then I'll show you that what you fear is not gonna happen" With that, I glared at him and rushed out of the door with my face flushed and my lips were spread widely a silly smile. *** This is a work of fiction, a story that I made in a whim when I was washing dishes and yes, I wanted the cliche womanizing male lead and awkward female lead so strap your belts for a story that will deviate from what you think the story is!

Safe With Me
It was like a fairytale being with him. It was like the world could come crashing down but not even that could tear us apart. *** "I didn't ask for you to come into my life or to expect me to love you more than I could possibly love him. I hate you, I hate everything about you. I hate how you barged into my life thinking you could solve everything. I hate how you expect me to act like nothing happened. I hate how you remind me so much of him. Nobody asked you to do this.." I hadn't realized how close I had gotten to him until his hands cupped my face. "He asked me, okay? He begged me to look after you. You need to face reality. He's dead Emma." *** We were perfect together. Nothing could tear us apart. Nothing....except death. © Copyright 2015 All Rights Reserved.Complete

It's time to move on
She picked up some item from the shelf and was about to turn away when I suddenly said "Don't buy that" I don't know why the hell I said that. I don't even know what she is picking. Scared that she might go away, I said the first words that came into my mind. She stopped suddenly and turned back to look at me. A look of shock held her face before it turned to that of confusion. Why the hell is she confused? My eyes involuntarily moved to the shelf from where she has picked the item and I was beyond shocked. Holy Shit. Lying on the top shelf of the counter were stock of tampons-different brands along with few other girly items and I realized I just told a girl not to buy tampons. F**k.. How the hell am I supposed to explain that? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a cute love story of Anna Haven and Jason Samuels who are completely different from each other, yet similar in a lot of ways.

It started off as a joke, but I started falling for him. He's cute, I can't deny that. We've been best friends since he moved in the apartment right above mine, before high school started. He had a rough year, with his brother dying, but so did I, from life recovery. It was when I called him out in front of a full faced bitch, that I realized that I liked him. He's a nice guy, sensitive? Maybe a little. Our relationship is like Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber, yet I don't mind. Yeah, it's complicated, but what relationship isn't?Complete
