I was stuck in the bathroom, stalling as much as I could, when I should be in bed. There was one problem with that, though, Ashton was spread out on my mattress.

A single glance at him was all it took, noticing that there was no way the two of us could fit on the twin sized bed without me cozying up to him. My nerves got the best of me, making me bolt out of there.

The doorknob rattled, giving me a bad scare.

"Occupied," I said out to whoever was on the other side of the door. "I'll be out in a sec, go away." I turned on the facet to become a sound buffer. 

I wasn't scared of Ashton, if that was much to admit. I was scared of myself and of who I'd become in that tiny room, lying in that bed with him. I couldn't see me refusing any of his advance if he tried, and that was probably where the issue came from.

Where I stood was clear and obvious. I publicly displayed my emotions for all to see. At first, not caring if the feelings were at the same place as me, but now that wasn't the case.

For Ashton, it wasn't the same. He was an unsolvable mystery to me. I loathed how I couldn't decode his actions to see his true intent with me. The waters were murky when it came to us...if you could go as far to claim there was even an "us."

I wanted to ask him, badly. A huge part wasn't ready to ask if he felt the same, though. I wasn't prepared to what kind of answer he'd give me or if I was capable of believing him.

"That was weird, but I can't stop my heart beating ten times faster than it should be. Laying down on the bed I face away from the bathroom door not wanting him to look at me.

She looks up at me, taking a step forward and smiling slightly, "How can I ever get hurt when I have you here to protect me?" "But you could have gotten hurt," I murmur softly, hanging my head and feeling my shoulders drop, the tension seeping from my body. "No. Stop," She cuts me off sternly but tenderly, "Don't talk like that, Reece. I'm okay, you're okay, we're okay," She speaks softly, reaching her hand up to gently brush her thumb over my cheek, just under the cut that's there. "We're okay," I repeat, taking a small step closer to her. She nods with a small smile, moving her hand down from my cheek and instead placing the palm of her hand on my chest, right over my heart.

"You're going to pay for that." I whispered to her, making sure to graze my mouth across the spot that makes her breath hitch. When I saw her remain unfazed, I leant behind her and switched on the shower... causing a small gasp from her beneath the chilling water. Placing both hands either side of her head, I leant into her and hovered my lips above hers. Neither of us moved until she finally breathed the words that made my knees weak. "Oh, just fuck me already." ~~~ A plane journey was all that stood between Rebecca Brooke and Ashton Miles.

Highest rank #27 in Teen Fiction. Written by @apricitys. _ _ _ "What is this?" He asked, not even bothering to look at the canvas in front of me. Instead, his eyes were locked in mine. I swallowed my saliva, chills running down my spine. I felt my palms getting sweaty as my legs nervously started bouncing up and down. Without giving me time to answer, he took a step closer to me, eyes still locked in mine. Each time he inched closer, I used my right foot to slowly push myself and the stool back. It seemed to be the only option to get away from him; until he forced his hands below the sides of my thighs, holding the stool in place. He released a soft chuckle as he eyed me from my eyes, down to my lips. "You're beautiful," he said. From his voice, I couldn't tell if he was being serious, or messing around. It sounded sincere, however there was a smirk on his face. The smirk that he always has on his face when he's found an amusing target. Then he averted his attentions back to my eyes. His expressions softened up the moment his eyes landed back on mine. His smirk disappeared. I cleared my throat and broke the eye contact. I looked down at my palms as I rubbed the sweat against my jeans, "What do you want, Landon?" I asked, almost whispering. I felt his hand brushing against my right cheek, as he tilts my chin up to look back at him. His messy brown hair, his light blue eyes and his pink soft lips were just centimeters from mine. I felt his breath lingering on the upper tip of my lip. In a panic, I pressed my palms against his chest and push him off. He stumbled back with a surprised look on his face. "Aubrey." _ _ _ Landon Carthy is an arrogant boy, who knowns to have absolutely no care in the world. Making girls suffer feels great to him. But what happens when a new girl in town becomes one of his victims? Will she allow him to walk upon her like all the other girls do?

I pushed him after that, greatly embarrassed by my actions and his confession. "You're such a manwhore, Aidan. I really hate you and don't you ever show your ugly face to me ever again." "Says the ugliest girl I've ever seen on this planet, lol. I don't want to see your ugly face again either. You disgust me with your holier than thou attitude. I guess I'll be finally free, without having you to follow me everywhere I go like a dog follows a bone." He yelled with a hard glare on his face and I couldn't help but break down in hysterical tears. I couldn't believe the boy standing before me was the same boy I grew up with. That same boy who would do anything just to make me happy? Like a dog follows a bone? Is that his perspective of me, that I follow him everywhere like a dog? I couldn't control myself as more tears poured out my eyes. "Thank you very much, Aidan. Thank you for your honesty, I appreciate that." I said slowly in hiccups and run away from him. "I wish you a happy sex with Sheldon and the rest of the school population, Emerald. You're free to be a hoe now." He said before I could get out of earshot and that made me cry more. I run upstairs to the comfort of my room and cried bitterly. The words kept ringing in my ear, "ugly, dog, hoe, sex, bone." Everything felt like a dream but it was a reality and I promise to hate Aidan for the rest of my life. _______________________________________________ Emerald Blue Woode seemed to have it all-a loving father, an ideal best friend, a sprawling mansion, and wealth beyond measure. But, an unsettling change was brewing in the air. Aidan, her steadfast best friend of over a decade, was no longer content with their platonic bond. A sinister determination had taken root within him, and he was willing to do whatever it took to transform their relationship into something more.

"You were worried about me, Specs?" He smirked. "No, Tyler. I hoped that someone cut up your corpse and fed it to paranas. Obviously I was, you idiot! I'm a doctor. Worrying about people is kind of programmed into my system. It's a curse if you ask me," I surprised myself a lot more than I thought was possible with my answer. And what did he do? Laugh! He fucking laughed! Not full on rolling- on- the- floor laughter but a laugh nonetheless. "This isn't funny, Tyler." "It kind of is. Almost a month ago, I would've sworn that you hated me. Be careful, Specs," he squinted down at me, "or you might actually sound as if you like me." I rolled my eyes. "Don't flatter yourself. I was concerned. Don't confuse that with affection. It's two very, very different things." *** When you think that all is not lost in the world. That not all men are pricks and that not all sushi is bad. When you think that there is a light, no matter how dim, at the end of the tunnel. When you think that life isn't the ruthless bitch you've always thought it was... It turns around and bites you in the ass. When you think that the past will always and forever remain where it should be... It comes at you from every direction. Like a violent tsunami destroying everything...and everyone in it's path. Can you change what happened? I wish. Can you stop what's going to happen? God! I really hope so.
