Unknown: Chapter 3

I suddenly feel extremely sad and miserable. I realize that my Coca-Cola is gushing on the floor. I quickly clean up the bubbly mess.
The phone beside me rings. "Hello?" I say.
"This is-" a man starts, but I immediately hang up because I know it's some weirdo asking for money hoặc whatever.
Cautiously I turn the TV back on, desperately hoping that something sane appears on the screen. For extra measures I change to a ngẫu nhiên channel.
It turns out I stand corrected, because I have the best of timing to turn on the TV just when Wyatt Starmount gets a sword in his neck. I shriek and try to shield myself...

Modern ngày Princess Ch. 12

Grandma felt extremely guilty. She thought it was all her fault; she'd tried to set me up with Foster in the first place. I tried to convince her it was my own choice; my own mistake, but she still blamed herself.

But I had other things to worry about.

One ngày at school, Echo wasn't there. I wouldn't have been so worried, if people weren't freaking out about it. I kept hearing Echo's name đã đưa ý kiến in the hallways, along with "did bạn hear?" The teachers in some classes even told kids to stop talking about it; it was none of their business. But it was mine. She was my best friend, and I didn't even...

"You likehim?!" Echo said, somewhat surprised and disgusted. "Why?!"

"I don't know..." I whimpered. I hung my head. This was all so confusing. Echo took a bite of her sandwich, and watched me for a while. She swallowed.

"Well, iff bạn do... That's fine. I mean, just because I think he's a jerk doesn't mean..." she didn't finish. That was my problem as well. He did seem kind of a jerk. I still didn't understand why I like him. I put my hands to my face and groaned. Echo chuckled. "Love sucks..." I nodded.

"Irina?" he shouted over the blaring music. I was stunned into silence. "What're bạn doing here?!" he smiled. I opened my mouth to speak, but then Mateo butted in.

"Dude! What're y-- oh. Hi, Irina," he đã đưa ý kiến unenthusiastically. I waved. Blake looked back at me, still waiting for an answer. I couldn't give him one; what was I going to say? He looked at the drinks spilled all over me.

"Oh, I'm sorry! Did I spill your drinks? Want me to buy bạn some thêm coke? hoặc was it Pepsi?" he offered. Coke? That was better than what I was coming up with.

"Uh, no! It's fine!" I shouted loud enough for him to hear....

    It was around one when I left the house. I couldn’t walk far, for it was dark. I hailed a cab. I told the cabbie to drive to a cathedral, near a small suburb, just outside New York City.

    After a ride down streets I could not name, we arrived at a tall, brick cathedral. I paid the cabbie, and got out of the car. He drove away. I walked up a few steps to the wooden door. I pulled on the...

This is a short story a wrote a few months back :)

He woke up thinking it was just a dream, then reality hit him, it was not a dream at all, it was the truth. He fell to his knees and cried out to God, “Why did bạn do this to me!” he then fell to the ground sobbing, his whole body was shaking, he wanted to numb the pain. After a while he got up slowly and walked to the refrigerator and pulled out a beer. He then moved to his đi văng and turned on the TV, he did not watch it; he just needed something to drown out the silence. He took a sip of his beer, he had large bags under his eyes, his...

Therefore

posted by irena83

When your minds are
upset
and so many thoughts
circling around
your head,
bạn try to make
this right,
to find the best way
so bạn could feel better,
so bạn could be free.

Pain will never
go away,
it always stays
to remember you
that life is not a dream,
life is unpredictable.

Endless questions,
so many "Why",
but the answer
we will
never find!
The strength within
will not let us crack,
life is unpredictable,
who's to say?

Today you're happy,
and yet
despair waits
stealthily
to engulf you.
But,
bạn need to be prepared.

Not only bad things
happen to bad people.
Unfortunately,
so many pure,
honored hearts
have been broken for
so many times,
in so many pieces,
and yet
they live,
they live with
their agony,
they live with
their groan,
but they live,
tho their eyes are
always sad,
their hearts are
still softly.

Therefore
they know...
Therefore
they are...

The brightest star
that shines
in the dark,
that spark of hope
for all of us
who deserve better.

In My Eyes (Poem)

posted by AvaMarch

When bạn look at the night sky, what do bạn see?
In my eyes,
I see the moon as a peaceful spirit,
watching over me.
When bạn stop and listen to the wind, what do bạn hear?
In my eyes,
The wind sings to me and tells tales.
When bạn feel the sun on your back, what do bạn think?
In my eyes,
The sun reaches out and gives me a warm smile.
When bạn hear a flowing stream, how does it sound?
In my eyes,
The stream is floating in my tim, trái tim and soul, drifting on and on.
When bạn look at me, what do bạn see?
In my eyes,
I see an average girl who is silently struggling inside.
But that's all in my eyes.

Song- Scream

Pain!!

[Verse-I]
Something I feel inside
Something I breathe inside
The lightening and fire
Right now I’m bearing inside
My tim, trái tim is broken now
And it have fall to pieces
I’m finding a way through out
To reassemble and fix it
Oooh (fix it) Oooh (fix it)

[Chorus]
The pain and sorrow
Is freaking me out
The ngọn lửa, chữa cháy and heat
Is melting my tim, trái tim out
The man who supposed to be
Isn’t there right now with me
The devils look in your eyes
Makes me scream…..
Makes me scream…..

[Verse-II]
The scars and wounds
They won’t seem to heal
Suicidal
That is how I feel
Aggression and pain
I’m hiding in my eyes
I’m finding a way to
Control...

Nikki Lim is my friend. She’d helped me pass my Chemistry test bởi teaching me how to solve the frikin’ formulas our adviser gave us and that was a relief.

she's that dangerous kind
she only wears black with her long dark hair and her light brown eyes
she loves the sight of blood
her ultimate pleasure is seeing people suffer from pain
hearing them scream and beg makes her moan
she killes with one look of her eye
she makes men drop at her feet
heartless,thoughless
she's a demon witch
she looks like a human,but she's nothing like a human
you can tell she's different
you can tell that she's got something special about her
the way she plays with her tongue,touch her skin
the way she chooses one,there's must be something about him she can't figure out
