The first thing to note was that the ever-present ache in my chest was finally gone. Another thing was that it didn’t hurt at all to stand on my own two feet like it did for the majority of my life. Then I finally took in my…- 19.3 K • Ongoing
- (Chapter 5) I took a deep breath, closed my eyes to center myself, then finally opened them. I focused entirely on the girl standing beside me, keeping my face deliberately cold. “Please don’t go. I love you, Cal,” she begged as she stepped closer and reached for my hand. At least she tried to. I yanked my hand away and shot her a loathing glare. “I don’t. In fact, I fucking hate you,” I almost spat. “I never loved you.” She stumbled back, horrified. “Then why did you…

- (Chapter 1: Prologue) “Don’t worry, mister,” a panicked man shouted as he ran toward me. “I’ve called an ambulance. Everything’s going to be okay.” I scoffed weakly, even as pain screamed through every nerve in my body. Nothing was going to save me now.

Emily still found it hard to believe how dramatically her life had changed since meeting Troy. What had begun as a casual friendship with a global superstar had snowballed into something far greater, so much so that even she sometimes struggled to recognize her own life. In just the past year, she and Rob had filmed two back-to-back movies, each earning five million dollars. It was a staggering figure for actors their age, almost surreal. Yet, the films hadn’t even premiered, and there was no…- 930.1 K • Ongoing
- “What do you think has impacted the music industry the most in the last decade?”Arlen Brock already had hundreds of points he could raise as soon as he heard the question.

- October 2007, Kloves Residence, London“Do you realize how stupid that move was?” Mum asked, her voice steeped in disappointment. “I thought you were better than this, Troy.

- Krissy stuck her head out of the line and immediately paled. It was too long.“We’re fucked,” Zoe moaned, echoing Krissy’s sentiment. “We’re in this only because of you, Krissy.”“Hey! I resent that!”“You should,” Zoe shot back. “I don’t ask for much, but when I call you near midnight and tell you to do something the next day, you do it. I mean, you go on vacation and ask your best friend to book an early Troy Armitage album, and she sleeps through the entire day.”Krissy sighed.…
