TW: TRIGGER WARNING MONTHS AGOβSadie letβs goβ I say to the girl with a white dress on. She follows me with a smile as the others look at us weirdly. We sneak off to the bathroom and we get the tiny pills. ...
I yawned and stretched my arms out. I looked around confused, what time was it? What was I doing in the library? I glanced at my phone, It was 9:30 at night. The librarian probably didnβt realize I was still here. I was sitting in the back of the building, the bookshelves covered me creating a calm area all to myself. I shifted in the chair not knowing what to do. I quickly gathered all my things and walked to the door. βDonβt bother, it's lockedβ Said a voice suddenly. βWhoβs there?β I said unaware that I wasnβt alone. βCalm downβ Said the ...
I got on the subway and sat down in the closest seat. I was used to crowded places but I still didnβt like staying in them for too long. I distracted myself with my sketchbook. I always carried my sketchbook no matter what. I opened up the old, used sketchbook and flipped over to an unused page. I started drawing lightly until the train jerked to a stop. Someone slammed into my pencil and the straight line turned into a mess of scribbles. I shut the book and picked up my things. A huge crowd started as everyone tried to leave the train at th...
I breathed heavily and stared at my window. I opened my window and I shivered, the cold wind blew onto my face. "You will marry him," My mother had said. The memory made me want to scream. I changed out of my dress and ran to my bathroom. I looked through the drawers frantically until I found scissors. My heart was beating quickly as I chopped off a chunk of my umber hair. Tears started forming in my eyes but, I knew people would recognize me as the princess if I didn't cut it off. I quickly chopped off the rest of my hair and took off the m...
"Mom," I said banging on the door. No answer. "Mom I'm serious open up," I said annoyed. "Fine," I said quietly under my breath, giving up. That was the moment I had decided to run away to dad. I grabbed a duffel bag and threw in some water bottles, a few granola bars, some money, and a change of clothes. I sprinted out of the house and walked to the nearest bus stop. When I got there, I sat down on a bench. I saw a boy maybe a couple of years older come towards me. He sat down next to me and nodded. I looked at the time and realized I had a...

Summer, 1950s April's POV "Papa," I called as I strode into our new house. Papa built it himself and, he just finished a couple of weeks ago. It was a cozy house made from brick and flowers planted outside. It felt like home. "Papa," I called again. "Yes, April," He called back. My name wasn't inspired by anything, just that my mama and Papa loved the name. I saw that Papa was helping my older brother Timothy with his toy car. He thinks he's all that special because he's 14 but, I'm only two years younger. I looked for mama and found her i...

(AUTHORS NOTE: This is my first book on here I hope you guys like it) I felt the warm breeze on my face and, then I realized it was New years eve! I jumped out of bed and threw on a plaid shirt and some black tights. The sweet aroma of cinnamon floated up to my room and made me drool. My mom was making cinnamon rolls! I ran down the stairs and saw a plate of sweet rolls of deliciousness. I greeted mom and took a bite of the cinnamon roll, I saw her older sister, Lilianna texting on her phone. I rolled my eyes and looked over at my ol...
