“Jenny?” The smooth, dreamy voice that I knew all too well had just spoken my name once again. His smiling face flashed in my mind as I turned away from my desk. I was met with those dark beautiful chocolate eyes that I had stared helplessly into when I was younger. “T-tom.” I choked out. Everything seemed to come back all at once. All those long-forgotten feelings from my young love. The arguments, tears, that drunken mistake that ruined it all. That night I cried for hours, heartbroken. Then those dazzling butterfly feelings flooded...

The sticky juice from my grape popsicle dripped down my fingers and onto the blazing sidewalk. It wasn’t as refreshing as I’d thought it’d be. The Arizona sun beat down on my tank topped back. I could feel the sunburn coming in. I sighed deeply. “Ugh, it’s too hot!” I yelled into the empty street. The occasional car would drive by, but other then that, everyone was inside they’re nice air-conditioned homes. “Stupid orphanage, not having enough money for stupid cold air...” I grumbled.

Henry and I are gonna be so happy togeth...

The place where I was birthed, the place where I was raised, and the place where I left. I flagged down a taxi, my nerves going crazy. The countryside zoomed past as I made my way. I don't know how to feel. Happy, Sad, Anxious,...disgusted. I continued on, my anxiety settling as the sense of familiarity washed over me. I let out a happy sigh at the land before me. "I'll get out here now, thank you." I paid the cabby and made ...

It started with one of the stormiest nights the Briggs family had ever since. Hammering rain and icy winds, thunder, and lighting rattling their measly cottage. Travis Briggs, the eldest of the Briggs children, was shaking. He was a bully and hot-headed, but thunder made him scared straight. Milly, the second eldest, was delighted! She loved storms and often dreams of becoming a meteorologist. She was looking out the window, smiling wildly. Then there was Junior, the youngest. He sat on the ground, not fazed at all the commotion of his famil...
