Well, looking back at it now it’s so weird to think that this used to look so far away. That this used to be a fantasy and we’d think how much we wanted to grow up. But the truth is, we wasted half of our time wishing that we were older and from now on we’re probably going to wish we were younger. But that’s okay, it’s a game everyone plays unintentionally. Fortunately we have so much to look forw...

I’ve always had a paralyzing fear of being forgotten. Always afraid that someone was going to forget about me and then everyone else would too. That I was just a ghost and no one cared. This fear always made me act out and do some random things. But I wanted those around me to remember me as funny. I would start dancing and showing off my skills to my family and friends. Fortunately it worked but ...

Dear diary,

Today was the best day ever. My dad came to visit me after I moved away. He has never made that effort for me and it was the most special thing. He even bought me flowers!

Talk soon, Ellie.

Dear diary,

Today was the day my dad left. He was here for a day and a half and now he’s gone. I’m really sad but it’s okay, I’ll see him again sometime.

Talk soon, Ellie.

Dear diary,

My mom is ...

It was time. Been waiting five weeks for this moment. I walked into the coffee shop and took a seat at the nearest table by the window. It was a beautiful sunny day, a little on the hotter side but perfect weather. Then I saw him. He walked in looking like a god walking though a castle. He walked so effortlessly but with purpose it made me get butterflies. I immediately stood up to greet him.

“Hi...

I took one step forward. Stopped. Took a deep breath. Looked forward and saw it. A big flat circle made of iron. The color was a pretty silver with a hint of bronze to it. Each little marking on the circle was so intricate that it could be seen from far away. I took one last good look around me and stepped into the middle of the circle.

It was dark for the first few seconds then it turned bright....

Rosie and Curt fell hard for each other. I was Curt’s best friend but he chose her over me. I’m not too mad about it. I honestly think he’ll be coming back to me. But anyways on with the story.

Rosie was Curt’s robot maid. It sounds really weird but she looked and acted just like a human being. She could walk, talk, blink, and clean. The best person or rather thing to clean. I liked her but she a...

“No, don’t hurt her!” I yelled. Panic rushed though me like a surge or lightning. “Reveal who you are, and I’ll set her free.” Batman boomed. Oh no, no, no. I’m not supposed to reveal my identity. Grandma always said “No matter the cost. No matter the situation. Never real your identity. With or without the mask.” I don’t want to go against her but this is the woman I want to marry. I have no othe...

“It’s time.” Stacie said. No, no, no. What if this backfires? What if he finds me and gets revenge for me leaving?

“Melissa, you gotta leave now. You are to never come back here.” She paused, “I know how much you love him. But you know it’s best for both of you and your futures to leave.” Stacie grabbed my bags and took them out to the car. I looked over my note one more time. Looking at the not...

“Pain, guilt, the feelings that are poison to the mind. It’s twisted. My lungs are aching as I can barely breathe. I feel like someone took my heart out and smashed it into a million pieces. I feel broken. I should’ve told her I loved her. Should have made sure she felt more appreciated. But she was taken away from me and I couldn’t protect her. The guilt is so hard to swallow. If only I had staye...
