It wasn't something I had planned on, wasn't even something I wanted.
I looked out at them, each one of them filling my head with memories of days gone by, and my heart pounding with each happy picture that they could all paint for me, if I would only give them that chance.
I thought that in life, once a door was closed, that it would be closed forever. In that way, it would make it much easier to move on from such highs and lows. But my ghosts of lovers past have come to haunt me and beg for my very heart and soul. How could I choose? Who do I choose?
Will it be the boy who threw his arm around me and held me close as rain poured down on us as I cried into his dirt stained t-shirt?
Will it be the one who loved me enough to not shred my heart by being with anyone else until I found someone else? The one who lay with me on a sandy beach and watched the stars and satellites dance in front of our eyes, while my heart danced away in his voice?
Can I go back to the hardest love I've ever had? I can't deny that there will always be a part of me that longs for Cole. I've spent nearly a decade of my life with him, we have a family. But we are so opposite, like fire and ice, he melts every part of me, and I never can seem to be enough to darken his flames. He will always take every part of me.
What about my second chance, with my unicorn? Do I pass up this gift that God, the universe....fate....whatever you'd like to say has given me? Someone who is kind, and gentle and mysterious. Can I even stop myself from falling for him all over again?
I think about each one of them, my heart is so conflicted and my mind can't even begin to make sense of this path I'm on. Maybe I'm doomed to forever love them...All of them.

Love Misunderstood
I only ever met one man I'd call truly noble. He was a man who was misunderstood and worthy of the world, yet everyone saw him differently. That was until I saw his true colours. The more I caught his eye the more he noticed me. We would pass each other, I would always stare a little longer at his back, wondering his story. People used to move out of the hallways if they saw him approaching whereas people would come and talk to me. He kept to himself, I was never alone, he had no friends, I was friends with everyone, I never saw him talk to anyone I spoke to many. we were polar opposites. At least that's what I thought until that day in the library, that is where I will start this story. Everyone is different, I hate the word "different", I much prefer the word unique. Unique is the only way to describe him. This is not just a story about love, it is about helping two souls who act differently but are the same on the inside, it shows the messy parts that aren't shown in movies, the tragedy, and the comedy but most of all the sizzling romance between two broken people who became one. Who is this story about? Caden James. But this is not just his story, It is ours.Complete

If No One Else
𝟏𝟖+| I was said to be 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐝𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐝, 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐢𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞... 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐮𝐧𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞. I had heard it so much in my life that it had manifested into a truth that remained rock solid in my brain. It consumed every surface of my body and mind like a deadly cancer It had become a promise to myself. A reminder. A standard. It was a rule applied to every person in my life, except him... He was the same as I was; no matter how different our outside identities were. We were cut from the same cloth on the inside. There was no denying that he and I were both broken souls left in a broken world. Both craving an eternal slumber before we met, but his darkness played so well with mine that suddenly it began feeling more like light, warmth, goodness... a happy ending.

It was only a matter of time before they found out. ----
Torn Between Two
I met the double trouble brothers back when I transferred schools in 8th grade after being yet another child of divorce. Cole, the ever obnoxious stubborn one with the tendency to wreak havoc and Justin, the gentle soul who harbors struggle with conflict. I never knew just how much these two could be my everything and also be my downfall. We were thick as thieves until the feelings we had between us all ruined everything. I wanted Justin, but he chose another, continuously hurting me. Cole, however, was always there to mend the pieces of my broken heart. When Justin finally saw me for who I should be to him, it was already too late. Tragedy struck and we were torn apart only to find each other once again, but now it just isn't the same. Justin is now an angry, cruel boy, who changed into something darker and meaner. Nothing at all like the boy I knew him to be. Cole, on the other hand, has grown into something more. No longer obnoxious or arrogant. He is how his brother used to be. Someone kind and gentle and full of love. Now that I am back, Justin is every bit determined to cause as much pain for me as I did to him. He looks at me like I am filth on the bottom of his shoe. He paints the perfect picture of how I chose to leave him, but that is so far from the truth. Cole makes it his mission to keep me close and protect me from his brothers wrath, promising he'll never let me go, needing me by his side. I am all conflicted. Torn to say the least. Question is, how do I fix the part where I am at war with myself between the love I once had for Justin and the love I could have with Cole, without breaking these two brothers apart in the process?Complete
THAT FIRST BREAK (Broken Redemption Prequel 1)
Choosing her cost me everything I'd ever loved... including her. I had everything a guy could ask for, a loving family, the perfect small-town life, and a promising future I had worked hard for. It should have been enough. She was off-limits, my parent's best friend's daughter, practically my sister. I fought my feelings, pretending our soul-deep connection didn't exist. When she confessed she felt the same, I pushed her away, believing our friendship mattered more than temporary infatuation. That she agreed should have come as a relief, but it left me with this void I didn't know how to fill. It's what drove me to the bonfire that night. Right there, with our friends as witnesses, I claimed her. Told her I loved her and made her promises I shouldn't have made. Hours later, it all came crashing down in a whirlwind of fire and ashes. That one split-second choice to go after a girl that wasn't meant for me cost me everything I loved. I never should have crossed that line or given in. It's why she'll forever be my greatest love and deepest regret. This tragic story is the beginning of our end...Complete
~Trust Me ~
"I want a divorce." And just hearing him say that my whole world that seemed to revolve around him stopped. Gathering myself I barely managed to speak in a voice that even I could not recognise. I couldn't comprehend anything going around me. "Wh..hy?" As soon as the words left my mouth he threw the file and the photographs spread across the floor. And those photographs had me in compromising positions with not one but several men. Looking at those photos I looked straight into his eyes. Disgust and hatred. The only emotions I could see. Taking a deep breath I composed myself and tried to keep my face void of the emotions I felt at that moment. Hurt and immense pain. If he didn't trust me then he has no right to see me vulnerable too. "Is this the only reason why you want to divorce me? No other except this?" It was foolish of me to ask him but I had to make sure. Also for me trust comes before love. If he doesn't trust me I don't even want to save the relationship. "Is this not enough you whore? What else can I expect from a slut and a gold digger like you! I knew it from the start that all you showed was just a facade. Your innocence, kindness, it was all fake. I just don't believe how can I be so dumb." Was I hurt? No I was broken beyond repair. My heart ached. I felt like I was seconds away from collapsing. I had far exceeded the limit of hurt and pain. I was so powerless in that moment that I couldn't even fight with him. Love makes you strong. I have heard and felt that countless times but they always forget to mention what comes after that. Love makes you weak too. I couldn't shout at him because I loved him. But I had to be brave. For myself. ************************************************** Is love enough for two people to be together or is there something more important than love? This is story of Xander and Sophie who loved each other but still couldn't be together. Because more important than love is trust. © All rights reservedComplete
