I told myself it was okay. Just _once_. I felt so _angry _that I had to do something - I just didn’t know what. Until _I _did. I’m Velora and I am writing about my _friend _Eden. We were the best duo out there and I loved her. Being close with her was amazing until it went wrong.

Eden became so agressive and self-centured and I felt _proud._ The time felt right and I felt so much better until I e...

He was never a _scary _man - emerald eyed, ginger hair as bright as the morning sun and a slim, tall figure. You never _backed away _from him like he was a _criminal - _but he was. He changed suddenly and his spark dimmed. The light in him burnt away like candles when you blew them and his once glistening eyes turned to _black_. With a stern mouth which froze no matter if it was cold or not emerge...

TW: ABUSE

I recall the days you sent me into turmoil

Where you screamed in my face

And bullied me

Until I couldn’t do it anymore

The days were so dark

When you were in them

Which is unfortunate, as I _loved you_

But you didn’t _love_ me

The misty clouds lurking above my head

Shaking hands whenever you were in my presence

Or when you got your fist and threatened me

“If you talk to any other man,...

The restaurant was too fancy, meals were too expensive and the person was too _different. _That night was one of the _worst date nights ever_. I’m embarrassed to even talk about it. Before we begin, I’m Poppy and my date was_ Zac._ He has cute dark hair curls, hazel eyes and a smart blazer and trousers on. I’m the complete opposite. I wore a red, flowy summer dress with some small white flowers on...

**Overview**

We didn’t intend to come to this place - but somehow we have. I guess we are the 4 lunatics - Rowan (me), Elara, Milo and Callie. The best friend group in town, but also the craziest. Sometimes stupid, sensible or unique - that’s us. My friends since secondary school (they got me through it all.)

🧍‍♀️: _*kisses more*_

👄: I can’t believe that happened 😍

🖐️ ✋: Ughhh I’m aching _soo _much from the hugs 🤗

👄: 🤤🤤

I recall the day that changes me completely - the one which devastated me. It was August 2nd 2021 and it was a hot, sunny day. It was a usual day but not for me.

I woke up in my new pink silk pyjama set (short sleeve and shorts) with my blonde bed head as usual. I stretched, yawned and rolled out of my bed slowly. I began to open my curtains and windows and pulled up my blind. I did everything li...

The scratching started again, just behind my bedroom wall - slow and steady, like fingernails on plastic. “_SCREECH!”_ they go and I sit bolt upright, frozen like a statue. “Don’t move, don’t move, don’t move” my head repeats. I don’t dare to turn around, so I stay there, in position and feel like I am in a dream. I thought I was in a nightmare - but I wasn’t.

It was like someone cared to join me...

I found her in the attic

I was 5 and so was she

We grew up together and I loved her

She has a cute appearance but there’s something strange

It began to frighten me a bit

So I put her back in the attic

I closed the door and I felt something

Her eyes were beady but it felt like she was looking

Looking at _me_

“Of course she is! She’s a doll! What do I expect?” I say

But why does it feel like her pre...

I don’t want to stick out like a weed in a field of wildflowers

I want to blossom like a daisy

To be as bright as a daffodil

And shine like a petunia

That’s who I want to be

Bright, blossoming and beautiful

I can blend in with the buttercups

Express myself like a rose or tulip

And be as tranquil as a lavender

I can blow in the wind and let my worries crawl up to the clouds

That is who I aspire to ...
