Choosing her cost me everything I'd ever loved... including her. It's why I left the small town where I grew up and vowed never to return. I'm no longer the golden boy with a bright future they all remember. Instead, I carry the scars of a tortured past. A broken man deemed unfit, even by the Navy SEALs he'd dedicated the past decade to serve. What was supposed to be a quick trip to sell my parent's property turned into this twisted journey that forced me to confront my demons. And then there she was. My first love, and deepest regret. The woman who still owns every piece of my blackened heart. When she asked for my time, I couldn't refuse. Now I can't walk away. Not after hearing of the danger her husband, a missing FBI agent, has brought to her doorstep. After everything, I owe her my help. It's why I offer to protect her and her two little girls from the danger circling them. It's a vow I never should have made, given the trail of bodies I've left in my wake. Like the harbinger of death, I'm the last man either of us should trust.

It was the biggest adventure of my life, and I was ready to make memories and have fun with my best friend for the summer. It would be a trip of a lifetime. I never expected that our worlds would collide. We came from total opposites tracks of life. Mine a simple and boring world and him one of Germany's most famous Tiktok creators. He was tall and handsome, and every girl wanted him; including me. When our worlds meet, would time be on our side? Would we be able to hold onto that spark that brought us together or will that spark fuse and leave us empty handed with nothing but memories and heartache?

We continued walking close to the lake as the wind got stronger. " It's starting to drizzle," Denis pointed out. " Yeah, do you think we should start heading back?" I asked, looking to my left at Corl and Denis. " But this is all part of the adventure!" Corl answered " Well if Victoria doesn't want to stay, we should go" Denis said looking over Corl at me. " No! I just didn't want you guys to stay out here if you didn't want to" I quickly added " oh, alright. Fine" Denis said, The floor was gradually getting more slippery as we walked, considering we were walking on a stone path. Denis and Corl were talking while I just looked at the ripples in the lake. Everything was going fine until I heard Denis say, " i'm thinking about going back." What? Go where? Move? Why? Was it because of me? He cant go! Not now when were actually friends! Why would he leave? I know why! Its because of Grays- uh, oh My foot slipped on a stone and I was falling. Falling straight towards the lake! I quickly, without thinking, grabbed the closest thing next to me to stop my fall, but i didn't realize the "thing" I grabbed wasn't a thing at all.... It was Corl, and he was coming down with me...

Before we get into things. There will be no requests on this because the one-shots are done. At least, for now. I am finally allowed to repost this so, here it is. The first few one-shots start off going toward more female readers, so I apologize for that. Later on, the reader will be referred to as they/them. But thats like, way later. So I deeply apologize for that, please just ignore it as best you can. T-T Someday, I will come back to write one-shots and take requests perhaps. I hope you'll be there when I do.

[Complete. Wattys 2023 Winner] The Redding takes you if it knows your name. That's the rule that's kept Meg alive --- or awake, rather --- since the night the world went to hell. Nobody knows where the red stuff came from, but it acts like water, it's in the water, and it falls as rain every night. The people it captures drop like puppets with their strings cut. They're asleep, not dead, and you can wake them if you say their name again. But then they just try to kill you. Meg and the other survivors she's befriended think they've found a stable equilibrium, six weeks after the catastrophe began. Nicknames become real names, and Meg knows she's getting better at identifying safe houses. Her crush discovers that Morse code, like writing, is a safe way to say a Sleeper's name. It's the night after learning it that Meg wakes up just as the nightly rain is starting. Raindrops, as it turns out, can make dots and dashes, too. The Redding can talk. And it's telling her to run. ❖❖❖ Complete. Wattys 2023 Winner.

"Wow Ashley our house is huge!" I said as we pulled up to are new home in California. "I'm so happy to be back in the place where we grew up." Ashley commented. A bunch of memories ran through my mind. Rydel, Ross, Riker, Rocky, Ratliff, and obviously Ashley were in every flash back. I remember specifically the time when Rocky fell into his pool and pulled me in with him. Tears started coming to my face. "Cat, don't cry we're gonna track them down and they are gonna be happy to see us." "I know but they're famous now, they're not gonna want to be are friends anymore." She looked at me with a mad look in her eyes. I knew exactly what she was gonna say before she said it. "Cat, you know Rocky likes you, like really likes you and if it's meant to be you'll find each other again, okay?" I nodded, "Yeah, I guess your right." We finally got out of the car and grabbed most of our things then headed to the door. (MAJOR EDITING) I will be combining some chapters to make this story have less parts, and also I'll be tweaking a few scenes, but nothing that will change the stories plot. I wrote this when I was fourteen. Read at your own risk. MY FIRST FANFICTION/STORY.
