The Lonely Stars
Ellie has always isolated herself from love. Very few people ever heard those three words uttered from her mouth. She isn't cold, in fact, Ellie is known to be friendly and social. Yet, when Reid Foster moves to town, he seems determined to know each one of Ellie's secrets. Will Ellie let go of her fears and give in to love or will she forever be apart of the lonely stars. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Why are you avoiding me?" Reid asks. His voice cuts through the quiet like a stone thrown into still water. "I'm not avoiding you. I've just been busy this week," I reply quickly, hugging my arms around myself as I turn toward the gravel path. Before I can get far, his hand shoots out, and he steps in front of me. The crunch of his shoes on the stones makes me freeze. "That's bullshit, Ellie. And we both know it." His words hang heavy in the cool night air. I keep my gaze fixed on the dark line of trees behind him, anywhere but his eyes. But then he leans in, and I catch the warm cedar scent of his jacket. My throat tightens. "You're scared," he says, softer now, but closer. "You think that one day I'll just up and leave...like your mom." The mention of her is a knife I wasn't ready for. My breath stutters. "I've tried to show you how much I care," he continues, eyes locked on mine. "But all you ever do is pull away. Do you know how much that hurts?" The cicadas drone on, indifferent to my silence. My legs want to move, to bolt into the darkness, but I can't. His words root me to the spot.Complete

"It's real, Kyler. Some people don't get their happy endings. Some lovers don't end up together in any life." She paused, her voice softening. "It's just the way the world is." She sighed a breath. "The ending to Romeo and Juliet was something the world would want, right? A sad ending for the rest but a happy one for the lovers." She picked at a loose thread on her sweater. "I don't like stories like that. I don't want a story like that." I found myself reaching out and took us both by surprise when I gripped her hand in mine. "We don't have to be what the world wants us to be, Luna. We can be whoever we want to be." *** Going into his senior year, Kyler knew things were going to change. But never in a thousand years had he imagined them to change the way they did. He had never expected to sneak out late almost every night just to see her.

And he had certainly never expected the girl next door to change his life forever. But she did. And it all started when Kyler Anderson crossed paths with the gorgeous new girl. *** "We can write our own story, with our own endings." I whispered. "Fuck the world." She smiled a hesitant smile. Then grinned. "Yeah." She whispered back. "Fuck the world."Complete

The After Effect
[HIGHEST RANK: #9 in People] "Just because you don't like him back doesn't give him the right to treat you like that."

"SHUT THE DOOR!!" "One of us isn't going to leave here at all. One of us will have to be carried out." "If you're going to be like that... then don't even think of coming near her."
