“Nicole, is this yours?” Tara asked the next morning when she walked in holding a letter. “It has your name on it. Who is it from?” she asked as I took it. Dear Nicole, It’s hard to explain how you got these letters since I don’t have your address but the time will come when you will find out how they came to you. I know what you have been through. No one your age or any age should have to go through such a hardship and h...

“Here we are,” Miles said stopping in front of an apartment building. I was still taping as I got out. “You can help unload if you put that thing down,” Miles said sounding like a dad. “You wish, I can still help,” I said as I reached into the back of the car to pull bags out one by one. “There I helped,” I said once I had all of the bags out. I turned around in a circle taping the sky and everything that was above us. I...

“We’re going shopping and by my parents today,” Tara said coming to the table the next morning. I looked up from my food and dropped my fork but grabbed it before anyone could tell how scared I was by the thought of leaving the house. “I don’t feel good,” I lied as I picked at my pancakes with my head down. “Fine, you don’t need to those then,” Miles said taking my plate and headed to the sink. I sat back in my chair with...

“Nicole, where are you?” Tara called out as I heard her come through the front door. I didn’t move as I watched Supernatural on the outside TV on the back porch. Cass was kicking some butts when Tara said behind me, “What is that smell?” “Maybe the bowl of cereal from last night,” I said as Cass killed a demon. “What are you here for?” I asked as I reached for some chocolate covered raisins. “I came to check on you, when...

I shot up in bed to hearing screaming in the hallway. I looked at my phone to see that it was 3 in the morning and I had only been asleep for two hours. Suddenly I heard the door to the room next to mine being kicked in and the girls screaming before I heard gun shots. I grabbed my phone and jumped out of bed. I couldn’t run out of my room without being seen so I jumped into my closet just as they kicked in my door too. O...

Ben waited all night to hear back from Amber. When he didn't hear from her that night, he knew he should have texted himself from her phone to make sure he would have her number. He had the day off and tried to keep himself busy so that he wouldn't have to think about her. What a joke. No matter what he did, his mind kept going back to her. What was she doing? Was she working or home, still recovering? He wished he knew....

Amber Khory sat at table where Kale escorted her, while her friend Jess and her boyfriend James danced. She didn't want to go out, but Jess wouldn't take no for an answer and dragged her along. Now her ass killed her and she was slightly drunk. She wasn't drunk yet, but she felt it approaching. Coming back from the girls' room, Kale stopped her before she reached the table. "Do I need to drive you home? I don't want a rep...

"Benjamin! Dude, how is work going?" Josh Andersen asked as he sat down by Benjamin. Ben hadn't been at the local bar for very long, when his long time friend showed up. He wasn't surprised that he ran into him. Josh talked about a girl that worked there. Ben knew that he would be coming by just to see her. Then Josh would get pissed off when she left with some other guy. "Hard but good," he said smiling , as he handed Jo...

She came from a broken home But no one saw that But the four walls that kept it all in For so many years she made it Somehow No one found out until that night They had been fighting The mom and the dad She was so scared she locked her door Then she heard the sound The sound that saved her She walked into their room to find her Laying on the floor With him beside her The help arrived five minutes later Glass was everywhere...

I wish I wish That is all I can do I wish I wish In my dreams they come true I wish I wish But the truth is We may never meet again I wish I wish That is all I can do One day someone would be lucky to have you I wish I wish That someday that person would be me

Brown hair Brown eyes Just like any other person Just like everyone else But they're wrong What is that on the inside? Bright light swirling Sparks of flames around the heart The light gets darker the madder she gets The light gets brighter the happier she gets She's not like us She holds something unnatural inside of her She can make your life a nightmare She can make your life a wonderland Yet people want her dead Every...

Where would I be without you? I'll still be here Still be happy I would be the same But with you? I'm happy all the time There is never a time in my life that I think I'm not loved Never thought this would happen We kicked it off great when we first met Now we go crazy when we don't talk We can talk about nothing and still have fun We can joke around or be serious and still have fun You are the other half of me You know w...

There used to be laughter in the room, Says the wall Along with tears, Says the pillow at night She talked none stop, even in her sleep, Says the stuffed gator She always knew what time it was, Says the watch that never left her wrist But now it's empty She had been gone for years, Says the calendar that is five years old There used to be laughter in the room
