"Stay. I know it's probably the wrong thing to do. You and I have gone dark. We are dead in the water. And all we seem to do anymore is dream up new ways to hurt each other. Look, I'm under no illusions. I know this is the end of the line for us. The damage has been done. We have fallen too far. But for a few more moments, do you think we could just forget all that? Do you think we could dim the lights a little and just lay here together? We have the rest of your lives to go our separate ways, misplace each other's names, and become strangers again. Stay here for tonight. Let's be messy and careless. Tomorrow is another day, let's worry about it then. Curl up into our love. Hit pause on this awfulness. Stay. Won't you? Just a while longer." - Beau Taplin

"-So try it" Grayson says suddenly to Brea. "Try what?" Her eyebrow raises with intrigue. "You said you can snap your fingers and turn your feelings off... like a light switch, you said, just like that?! So, fall in love with me and then one day...just... stop. and move on," Brea was taken aback by his words, thinking there's no way he was serious. Unimpressed, she gets up to leave and laughs at him saying,"you're crazy." But as she shakes her head, on her way to the door, he grabs her arm and says,"no, I'm serious, B. If you're telling the truth that you have great communication skills and don't get clingy or jealous, then what's the worst that could happen?" She lets out nothing but honesty,"I never said I had great communication skills." "It was implied. So what do you say?" He puts his hand out for her to shake and agree on the proposal. She looks at it then joins his hand and asks,"how long?" "A year," Grayson suggests easily. She disagrees which prompts him to ask her,"how long does it take you to say you love someone?" Brea hesitates to answer, knowing she's never been in love before. "Six months, take it or leave it," they agree. With a confident smile on his face, Grayson promises Brea something, saying,"by the time this house is built, you'll be in love with me."

"That's right," Blake said sounding bored. "Everyone is wondering if that's because you aren't over your ex-wife, Elizabeth Bell." When he said that I froze. The last thing I wanted from this interview was for him to bring up my past life. Although I changed my name to Rose Matthews, I still freeze every time someone mentions that name. I try so hard to forget my past before I was Rose but when you have so many people constantly bringing it up you can't escape it. Blake's answer brought me back to the present. "No! Honestly, I was glad to be out of that marriage. It was a burden, constantly having to be married to her. I don't have a girlfriend because I want to be able to enjoy the single life for a while.

I didn't think that was possible.

Into the Velvet
*EDITORS' CHOICE 2021*After falling for her senior year teacher, Louise learns a harsh lesson on what adulthood isn't. Louise has some trauma to unpack. Heartbreak's a bitch, and her first relationship had been anything but normal. Thinking herself mature for her age, her affair with Mr. Cain started swooningly well. Except things ended quite abruptly. It's a lot for a seventeen year old to handle. But who's really at fault for what happened? Who even is Mr. Cain, and what is he hiding? From the wreckage of her naivety and self-esteem, can Louise save her friendships and rebuild herself? Our love songs aren't telling the whole truth. How can this be? 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. Every inch of me pulsed with an ache that began from the marrow of my bones. Fate had brought us here. At this crossroads of ours, there were a hundred different choices to make. 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
Ultraviolence
Things just come and go. Things pass by so fast you don't stop to look at what's happening. That's until you start to realize what's happening isn't right. ········· My husband isn't the person you think he is. It's all an act. He plays it well too. People would never believe me if I told them who he really is, they'd laugh. How he treats me isn't right, but I can't tell. Nobody would believe me. Nobody would help me. I fear what will happen if I tell. ········· "Please Elena just listen to me. Or face my consequences." Reece yells. I jump like a child that was just caught having more candy than their allowed. "Get in. Now!" He's right in my face, but I don't blink. I don't dare make a move, frightened for what's about to happen. But that's just the beginning. Cover done by: @purplepenguinnComplete

"Bell, the truth is, I'm always terrified. I act like I know what I'm doing. But I don't." Charlie struggled to not cry. She was so worried everything would not go as planned. "You don't have to be that way, princess. Show your real emotions just once. We'll be okay. I promise." Bellamy assured her, while holding her face in his hands. "We're just a bunch of teenagers, we can't handle this." "If we are together we can handle anything." "Then you better not leave me." She demanded.
