I let my eyes slide shut slowly, holding on for dear life- literally- to him. I feel his hands run up and down my spine once more, and his quiet, muffled sniffle.
"You'll remember me.. right?" I ask. My voice sounds rough- like someone scraped out the walls of my throat with sand paper.
His lips move along the side of my head gently as he nods. I feel soft, wet taps on my bare shoulder; his tears. "Without a doubt, sweetheart." he whispers.
"I love you." I whisper.
"I love you too," he chokes out as my fingers and toes go numb- the life literally leeching from my body. "I always will, baby. Forever and always." he traces small patterns into my arm as the machine picks up next to us, beeping faster and faster.
And in that moment.. I felt like I could take a deep breath, and finally let go of my excruciatingly beautiful life.
And that's exactly what I did.

The Player
"Ella, please." He said. "What are you doing here?" I looked at him confused. "Please don't shut me out of your life." "Shut you out of my life? What are you talking about? You're barely even in my life." "You need to know the truth." "What truth?" "Just listen and hear me out." he let out a deep breath. "I need you to be my friend, even just an acquaintance if that's better for you, because I need you." "What? What are you even talking about? I think you need to leave. Right now." "You don't understand Ella." "I think I understand completely fine. You're a creep who won't leave me alone. So you better leave now before I call the cops." "And tell them what? That I won't leave you alone because I have feelings for you?" "Look, you're really...........what did you say?" "Ella, I'm in love with you." He said, and I felt all of the color drain from my face.Complete

*UndergoingExtremeEditing* It's been 7 months since my parents funeral and my life is rubbish, i work in Starbucks, i have a shabby flat and my boyfriend was cheating on me, great huh, pft note the sarcasm. So now i guess I'm single and lonely. I had just finished my shift when i was walking through the cold streets of London at 8pm, my phone started ringing, i didn't notice the number on my phone but i still answered. "Hello?" I said into the phone, shoving my free hand into my coat pocket. "Hello, Miss Jordon, right?" The voice replied. "Um yes" i answered back. "Great! Its Simon Cowell, from SYCO records. I received your demo and i want you in the studio as soon as." His voice beamed through the phone, i was speechless OMG SIMON FREAKING COWELL! "Err Umm, thats amazing news, sorry im still in awe." I chuckled nervously, "Don't be nervous, write a song by next month and bring it to the studio on the 15th of March please. Be at the studio 9am sharp, oh and don't be late, i'll send you details and where abouts to go." He explained. "Thats great thanks so much Si...i mean Mr Cowell." I replied. He chuckled lightly "Goodbye." He said before hanging up. WOW i have to write a song for Simon Cowell.

Smile at a Stranger (1D/ Niall)
NIALL: What in the world just happened? I choked at seeing this girl? And did a spit take when I actually got a good look at her? What the hell is wrong with me? LOUIS: I turn around because I'm sure that would have made Summer laugh. But she remains silent. Her hands are still doing something with my phone and the stereo. Her face is blank looking at Niall with her eyes slightly squinted. That's weird. Summer has laughed almost every time one of us does something funny. ZAYN: "But you're One Direction." I hear her mumble. She sighs. "And that matters because?" She doesn't need to be so insecure around us. She just needs to be herself. I know that's what Niall likes. She turns around, giving me a look and with her hands on her hips. "Do I need to explain it to you?" She says sassily. Then she giggles turning back around. HARRY: "Where do you want to go?" The way her American accent blends in with her awkwardness and sassiness is attractive. And it's also funny because Niall hasn't taken his eyes off her the whole time. Mission accepted. Niall and Summer. LIAM: I look at him with a smirk on my face. He furrows his eyebrows at me. "What?" "Summer will be here soon and with all of us busy with our interviews. I thought Niall could occupy her." Zayn squints his eyes at me and comes right up in my face. "What?" I back up laughing a bit. He backs off. "You're quite the mastermind." He gives me a nod of approval. SUMMER: Man, how are we living in a world where a normal teenage girl can't fangirl anytime and anywhere? This sucks. Please forgive the minor bad fanfic moments, such as where they meet, falling in love in a short period of time, and a couple of small character cliches.Complete

For the First Time | n.h.
I look into the blue eyes of my best friend and it feels like staring down a stranger. They are familiar and foreign all in the same moment, glossy and pleading. The dimly lit street allows only enough light to cast glimmers on our faces and subtle shadows on the ground. It's raining but I've hardly noticed; all I see is him. "Megan please don't go," he says desperately. "I-I'm sorry." A tear falls steadily down my cheek. I don't want to go but I have to be strong for myself. I run forward and wrap my arms around him in a hug. "I love you Niall," I say near his ear, "I just don't like the person you've become." I hold back a sob, "When my best friend comes back tell him to find me." I don't say another word I just go, leaving him all alone in the dark street...Complete
Hollow (Harry Styles) #Wattys2016
I cupped her face in my hands, rubbing my thumbs in circles over her cheeks. She was having trouble finding words to describe what she felt, and I could relate. I loved her more than words could describe and telling her I loved her was almost an insult to my true feelings for her. My heart ached at just the thought of her not being with me. I honestly don't know what I would have done with myself if I had never went to that stupid party and met her. But, I have a feeling, we would have found each other, eventually. This love's too strong to ignore forever. Both of us had pieces of us missing, that neither of us were aware of until we met. We were like two puzzle pieces that finally connected. "I love you," I whispered, leaning my forehead against hers. "I love you more," she replied in a small whisper, her hand reaching up to caress my cheek while the other rested on my thigh. I shook my head, annoyed and charmed by the audacity she had to think that she could possibly love me more. "I love you most," I persisted, causing her head to moved away from mine as she looked into my eyes. "Always?" She questioned, her eyes unreadable for a moment before a flash of fear passed through. "Forever," I assured her and meaning it. We could live an entire lifetime or for eternity, and my love for her would never fade. It would only grow. There was nothing in this world that would ever change the way I loved her. My, Katarina.Complete
