Right. Because if you have trouble putting ketchup and mustard on a hot dog, you should totally move on to saving lives.

I leaned down and looked at his handsome face. I wanted to kiss him in a way that would remain soft and true on his lips, all the while help him from escaping the overwhelming...

If she had looked into his eyes at that very moment she would have seen the inferno that she had thrown him into.

A text pops up on the screen. It’s from Luis. I can’t help but grin when I read his perfectly thought-out message.Luis: Hey

All I do when we’re apart is think about you, and all I when we’re together is panic. Because every second feels so important. And because I’m so out of control, I can’t help myself....

I’d also learned something new. There was something really sexy about a man that kissed you, without stopping to ask first.

You don’t see the real me. You don’t know what all I’ve done.- Rush Finlay

C, it was like my breath was stolen. My heart seemed to merge with yours. When you came into my life, all I wanted was you. All I thought about was you. Your smile, your...

Barnabas’s voice helps me drift off to sleep. I think briefly about how I’ve never felt this way about anyone else. I care about my family and friends, but this is a different feeling. This...

Rourk didn’t even know her name, but he knew he’d never seen anyone so magnificent in his life. Her wavy hair glistened in the sunlight. She had a delicate, round face with large, blue-green eyes...

When she wraps her arms around my neck, all I want to do is protect this girl for the rest of my life.

Aaron was beside himself grabbing his keys and running out of his office leaving everyone staring at him. He heard Becca call his name but he didn’t have the time, Nia needed him and he...

There’s something to say about inspiration – when it comes into your life…the feeling is insatiable.

I knew from Brianna that being beautiful wasn’t all great. Brianna had changed in middle school. One day we were both seventh graders and the next, she was a supermodel who had a seventh grader...

If you feel yourself falling, let it happen. I swear to you I’ll catch you.

Then his lips caress mine. It’s only a brush, but the warmth overheats every part of me. Leaning back, my elbow bumps into the power button on the dryer and the old appliance starts moving....

Dignity is overrated. You know what trumps dignity? Kissing.

Three things Marco taught me today race through my mind: boys will lie to your face just to have sex with you, don’t trust any boy who says I love you, and never date a...

Wishing that I could stay right here in this moment of not doing, but simply being, forever.

Where there is light, there is a way out of the darkness

You’re nice.” He sounds pleased, as if he hadn’t expected this aspect of my personality.

The stars twinkled above him brilliantly, representing all of the beautiful laws of the universe.

Everything around her was in a fog; the intense light that always shone in his aqua blue eyes was the only thing in focus, but it was suddenly unknown… different… almost embarrassing.

What if I want to?

We made a pact the day you left for Novo—I know you don’t remember that, but I do—and I’m holding fast to our promise. To never give up hope. And I have hope, because I...

Among my stillness was a pounding heart.

Abuse doesn’t define you.

Don’t be afraid of Pain. Pain only comes down to a certain point… beyond that, it can’t reach you and the love you have inside.

Love is blind; people aren’t.Chubby Chaser, 11/21/14

Her heart fluttered. It had only been a few hours, but it felt like a lifetime since she saw him last. She seriously felt addicted to that boy.

Nobody’s watchin’ if you want to, you know, try it. Not to brag, but I’m somewhat of an expert.

This girl, this impossibly sweet girl, was his present and his future, despite his past. Fate had to be smiling at him. He couldn’t imagine life without this dark haired beauty. Those beautiful hazel eyes...

A guy and a girl can just be friends, but at one point or another they will fall for each other, maybe temporarily, maybe at the wrong time, maybe too late, or maybe forever.

My ladder’s at home.

She looked at him like he personally kept the roof from caving.

You are my star in this dark, dark world that we inhabit.

I realized someone else might tell you you’re pretty. I’d do anything to keep you away from that person.

I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to be a dickhead. Well, I did.

His lips press into mine in a kiss meant to make the world fade away.And it delivers.

It’s too dangerous…I would never be able to forgive myself if something happened to him. I wouldn’t be able to bare it. Forgiveness would be out of the question; beyond my ability. I would never...

I’m guessing that’s a uniform.”Crap. I’d forgotten I was still wearing it.

Oh Trysten, I don’t care who you are, or what you can become, but I love you for loving me.

He’s not yet realized that by giving away nothing but barefaced lies he’s come to wither and rot inside. But she’s still looking for him into the void of his cold heart.

I know. I’m on a mission to cure you of that.

An eerie silence has descended over the house. Every few minutes, I hear a grunt and the scraping sound of a box dragging along the floor. Other than that, there’s nothing. It’s like the silence...

She affected me, even when she was absent.

There are tons of kids out there who endure chronic abuse and suffer in silence. They can’t trust anyone, they can’t tell anyone, and they have no idea how to get away from it.

I gotta go but… I miss you. That’s all.””I miss you too”, I say hugging my body tightly with the sleeves of his shirt.This… Is falling.

A faerie heart is different from a human heart. Human hearts are elastic. They have room for all sorts of passions, and they can break and heal and love again and again. Faerie hearts are...
