“I’m late!” I jump out of bed and dash over to my dresser, throwing my outfit on as fast as I can. How did I let it get this far? ~~~ I was up really late last night with a friend, Emma. I had a bad day yesterday and she came to help me get over it. My boyfriend broke up with me because his “feelings had faded,” and he “wasn’t having fun anymore.” So ridiculous. And I was supposed to get an email that my book was published, but I never got one. That caused a bit of anxiety for me. So, Emma came over. We watched a movie, had some ice cream, d...

My world is only black and white. Also, a couple greys. And I don’t mean that figuratively. I mean literally. Everything always seems so dull and dim. It’s actually overwhelming. Not too many people are happy like they used to be, before I was born. My grammy used to tell me all about the rainbow. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet. Even the neutral colors like brown or tan. How everyone used to be joyful. But then the storm hit. It was so big and harsh that, when everyone opened their doors once it had passed, the colors were ...

It actually hurts. This can't be a dream. I stand in silence for a brief moment before something haunting happens. “Hello~” I jump slightly as I hear a voice c...

I don’t know how it happened but I think I was just threatened. Or this man is a psycho and he loves me, despite his show of hatred. Either way, I need to be cautious just in case he comes back. ~~~ “We need to get out of here,” Daniel whispers to me. I nod in agreement. He takes my hand, and we quietly step outside of the castle. I place a hand on his chest to stop him when I notice a guard at the corner of the garden. I press a finger to my lips, signaling him to be quiet. He gives me a nod, and we press our backs against the wall, slowly ...

“What?” I whip around and look at my older brother. “I…yeah. You heard me,” Hunter says, looking a bit nervous. “No, no, no, no, no. You cannot just say that.” I scoff slightly and look at him with a hint of anger and surprise. “I can and I did, Julia.” He crosses his arms, looking back at me. “You’re telling me I’ve been living a lie? I thought our parents died in a car crash and now you’re telling me that they are still alive?” I say as I step closer to him, still not believing him. He stays silent, his sparkly blue eyes wandering everywhe...
