Run, Fight, Repeat by BellaGrace568

" I lunge forward at him hitting his groin with my knee then right between the eyes. As soon as I do, he crashes to the ground, out cold. I go for more, but a pair of arms snatch my waist lifting me up. I kick my legs and flail my arms to get closer but he is too strong. "Let go of me!" I demand. "Shut up." A low strong voice commands."Is he okay?" "He is fine." I grunt. Then the young adult wakes up, then scurries back away from me. "Sorry ma'- miss... " he says, making me angry again. I give him a cold stare. "I'm sorry." He repeats, standing to his feet. "Put. Me. Down." I demand again. With a huff he puts me down. I step forward with full intentions to punch him again but the man behind me takes my arm, holding me back. I jerk forward to get off his grip but he takes my other arm tightly. "Alright! I'm done! I'm done!" I huff in defeat. " This story follows Astrid, a 26 year old female who ran away from home 10 years ago. The only reason she has come back was to get away from the hole she dug her self into. She is running away from her problems again. Life before she ran away wasn't as nice as the public saw it- the sherif's family, happy, and loving. Behind the doors it was orders being barked left and right with no warning or break.

WHEN REALITY HITS PERFECT by lady1CA

Katie never imagined something like this could happen to her. She always thought she would live peacefully with her millionaire Dad and twin brother Kyle. Luke somehow turns out not to be Luke as unexpected events occur in her life. Her family gets captured, Dad's company was taken over by an enemy, but not the enemy we expected and she gets to meet people she never even thought off. Adventure. Teenromance. Family wars. Heart breaks. Is what to expect from our story, WHEN REALITY HITS PERFECT. Trust me guys the story is more fun than how it's been put cause I'm not really good at writing these things. ************ "What's wrong?" He asked and I pointed straight ahead where light was pouring in. He still looked at me confused, not getting what I was saying. I sighed before opening my mouth "Run" and as soon as I said that the door was kicked open and we could hear them shouting. "Where are those little trouble makers?" they asked her but she shook her head telling them she had no idea where we were. One growled madly like an angry lion and yelled "You can run away little kiddies but you can't hide forever" and with that we heard gun shots and curses but little did they know, we were already out the door..... This story has a touch of violence and abusive words. Hope you love it. Every character and event happening is just my imaginationse, no copying my story

"Oh feisty ain't cha?" He questions like a prick stepping closer again. "Take one more step and I'll kick you where the sun doesn't shine." I threaten, holding my ground. He throws his head back laughing and then says, "As if, you're a tiny little thing." While taking another step, close enough for me to get him. He throws his head back laughing again, which gives me an opportunity to kick him, so I do. I use all the strength and force in my leg and I get him right in his junk. His knees instantly buckle and he grabs his crotch as he falls. All his buddies, including Beast start laughing loudly at the old man.

Unconditional love ❤️ by hey_itslipika

"You make me mad, get on my nerves and what not, by your those chaotic antics, what are you, 5? Keeping on jumping around the whole company like a monkey." Tan said and huffed angrily. "Who are you calling a monkey? Huh!! What do you think you are, huh? Why should I stop my actions? Atleast my actions bring a smile on people's faces and look at yourself, always shouting and scaring everyone." Jennifer too, huffed angrily and left her boss' cabin stomping her feet. Tan, a man with bossy attitude, who always focuses on what will happen in future VS Jennifer, a carefree girl, who loves to live every second of her life happily. A story of a chaotic girl and a cold hearted man, whom everyone feared. What will happen when these two completely different worlds collide. Will it cause an Earthquake or will it result into a beautiful story. Not what we see is always true, not everyone who we think is happy is actually happy, not every rich person has everything that a person needs to be alive. "N-no, you can't leave me! Keep your eyes open, Tan! For god's sake, keep your eyes open." Jennifer cried holding Tan in her arms. "F-First s-say you love me." Tan said with a shaking voice. "I l-love you, please be with me, you have to breath, for me. I promise, I'll never leave you again. Please, I beg you." Will this story have a "they lived happily ever after." Ending OR a "not every story have a happy ending." Ending Read to know.
