   ...there was a loud crash from what appeared to be the kitchen area. Blair sprang off the couch and darted into the kitchen. 
  "Sandy...Ruby...you might wanna see this..." Her voice floated out to Sandy and me.
  " Are you guys okay?" Rosiel yelled down from upstairs. 
  " I dunno. I think so?" I called up. Blair shouted for us again.
  "Please. You'll really wanna see this." She sounded nervous. 
  "You don't sound sure." Rosiel observed from upstairs, responding to what I'd said before.
  "Rosiel, just go downstairs. Then you can stop yelling." I heard Fisk grumble. Sandy and I got off the couch, meeting Fisk and Rosiel at the bottom of the stairs. The four of us hurried to the kitchen, where Blair stood, hands shaking, pointing out the open window at the crudely written message staining the white snow bright red.

Love and Revenge (Complete) by writersblockcentral

Annie Bloom is an average girl. She's in college, has a best friend, works, and studies. Yet one day she finds herself attacked, hospitalized, and nearly killed. Her best friend, Will, is certain it has to do with the guy she just started dating. Is Will jealous? Could her new boyfriend be involved? Or is it someone else entirely? Annie must find out quickly because every day could be her last. *** I could feel nothing but the pain. I felt every hit in excruciating detail with each erratic, painful heartbeat as my world became reduced to a series of agony. I struggled to breath through the broken ribs that constricted my airflow like a two-ton concrete slab had fallen on me. The blood from the blows to my head rolled down my face in waves. My arm was twisted at an impossible angle, yet I couldn't scream because my mouth would not open. I could feel the kicks coming at me from all directions, and as I received another one to the head I knew this was the end for me and my heartbeat slowed. The stab wound was bleeding too much for me to survive. When they left me for dead my eyes began to droop and the last thing I saw through fuzzy tunnel-like sight was a man running towards me before one final rattling breath coursed through my broken body and my heart stopped beating.

The Girl They Never Noticed by The_Outkast

✨COMPLETED✨ I took a few steps before I stopped to face him again. "Jay?" I said, barely above a whisper. "Hmm?" "I love you. You know that right?" I asked, kind of unsure. "of course.

I repeated, every bone in my body aching from this pain, this betrayal. What I'm doing, or going to do, is definitely some form of betrayal. But I don't have a choice, right? He needs to understand that I don't have a choice. Or do I? "I do too. But...Why are you saying it like that?" He asked, feeling a little anxious. "Like what?" I replied, praying to dear God he doesn't say something that'll make me cry. "Like you're saying goodbye." 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 Alexis Pierce is just another high school clumsy story.

The Devil Doesn't Bargain by Esther_Buuks

"Good morning," Bryan's voice was low and heavy with sleep, and it only served to deepen the ache in her heart. As tears began to well up in her eyes, Bryan's face shifted from warmth to deep concern. "Are you okay? Are you hurt? Did I do something wrong?" His voice trembled with an anxiety that mirrored her own. Tracy shook her head, her emotions raw as she clung to him. "I didn't expect you to be here. I thought you'd have left me," she whispered, her voice cracking with the weight of her fears. Bryan's arms tightened around her, his embrace a lifeline in the storm of her emotions. "Oh no, sweetheart, how could you think that after everything we shared last night? I would never leave you," he said, his words imbued with a deep sincerity. He held her close, pressing a gentle kiss to her forehead. Tracy looked up at him, her tears mingling with a tentative smile. *************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** Dive into the story of Tracy Duncan and her world of chaos I'll change the description later for now ENJOY.........

Brooklyn asked, picking up a book with yellow blank pages and a leather cover. All 14 friends turned their eyes to her examining the book, one got up. "It's mine, sorry I left it there."

Ryan asked trying to grab the book, but Alex had moved back. - 'When you pour out your thoughts, it can be very dangerous because it feeds the unknown.'

Committed by JadeBailey7

"But it's not all their fault." I sob. "They aren't the reason she's dead." "... and neither are you... Why do you insist on blaming yourself?" "Because I could've done better... I should have been there... I should have saved her..." "You were there with her all night, you did all that you could have." I shake my head. "No, Will, I wasn't." I clear the tears trying to see what his expression was. "I left in the middle of the night... To-meet Logan..." I look at his face. "That still doesn't make it your fault..." I nod. "It does" I start to walk inside when he calls out my name, I whirl around to face him. "Why do you care so much?!" "I'm afraid you're going to hurt yourself!" I smile. "No, I only hurt others" I turn back around to face the door, when he spoke one last time. "Please do something that gives you reason to come out." I thought about that. "Go home, Will." I close the door behind me and proceed to walk up the stairs and return back to my beloved bed. As I lay in my bed, I stare at the ceiling. 'Do something that gives you reason to come out.' Is that what he had said. he's right, and I had just the thing to do. I'd find Ellie's killer and make them pay.
