Ace Of Hearts
A wild night of reckless and careless thinking, what could possibly go wrong?
-----☆-----
19-year-old Jake Miller isn't your typical everyday guy, he doesn't drink, smoke, party nor does he like girls. In fact, he's an antisocial butterfly whose wings were clipped at childhood.
But what happens when his new roommate asks him to accompany him to a party?
An accidental kiss with a stranger was definitely NOT on his list. The kiss rocks Jake's world and he's left questioning everything he ever thought he knew about himself and his interests.
24-year-old Liam Morgan, smart, handsome and always prepared and the next CEO of a renowned empire. He thought he had his life all planned out: he'd have the perfect wife, perfect home with his dream job as CEO and most importantly, never be like his father. But then everything took a turn for the worst and he's left to re-evaluate his life. He doesn't know what to do anymore and in a moment of self pity, decides to have a wild night out.
While in his drunken state, Liam accidentally kisses a total stranger not knowing the domino effect it would create. Their encounter leaves Liam questioning himself and his values.
Fear and obsession soon find themselves following hard after Liam. His first chance encounter turned him into someone he vowed never to be like.
With secrets cutting deep, can Liam be the guy that Jake deserves or will their chance encounter remain only but a burning memory in Liam's mind, to look but never touch? To have but never truly be yours?

Chapter: Chapter 14“What do you mean? I moved away from him as his eyes turned darker. I didn’t have a good feeling about this anymore. Something in him had changed and whatever he meant, I was very certain I was not going to like it one bit. “Evan?”But Evan just stood up and walked out of the room, leaving me alone.Now I was panicking because he looked like he was going to do something that would really break me. I had to get out of here when I still had the chance. I tried removing the binds on my wrists but they were fastened really tightly. Crap, I really had to get out of here but whatever I tried, nothing seemed to be working. Maybe this was my fate, to always suffer and have my heart broken ever since time I felt like I was starting to heal.Evan came back a few minutes later with Ryan and two more other guys. My heart beat increased as everything started to sink in. It had all been a ruse to get me here.“Was it all fake?” I asked, feeling the fight in me disappear as I hang my head in defeat.

Chapter: Chapter 13"Wake up pretty boy,” I heard someone call out to me followed by a sharp kick in my ribs. I groaned in pain as I rolled on my side and my eyes fluttered open but I still couldn’t see anything because of the black bag covering my head. It was making it so hard to breathe and I wondered how I was still alive after hitting my head so hard because I could feel the sharp pain piercing through my skull and making everything around me spin even though I was laying on a hard surface which I assumed was the floor. “Aw, look he’s in pain,” one of the guys cooed as someone kicked me hard in the ribs once more. “Isn’t it so cute?” I wriggled in pain as I tried to get away from them, feeling the pain in my head and coursing through me which made it hard to even try and get away. “Please, let me go. I don’t know what I did but please,” I was able to find my voice and plead for my life. This went far beyond action movies. I was in real danger and the worst part about all of this was that I was in

Chapter: Chapter 12"Miller, right?” one of the guys I recognised to be from my Art class asked as I was walking to the library to get some studying done for the upcoming finals. “The Artist?” “Um, yeah I’m Jake. How can I help you?” I was looking around, suddenly feeling anxious. What if Liam had sent him? Couldn’t he just leave me alone? The guy rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly as he took another step towards me which instinctively made me take a step back from him. “Sorry if I come off sounding a little weird,” he began. “I just wanted to ask if you could help me prepare for finals. My art is basically non-existent and Professor Burns is always praising you in all the classes and he suggested I should see you if I need some help.” He looked sincere enough and the fact that he didn’t know Liam made my guard slowly fall as I was now able to breathe properly. “Okay, but I was going to the library just now,” I said as I pointed in the direction of the library which was on the other side of campus.

Chapter: Chapter 11My phone rang during lunch and I searched for it in my bag while laughing at the story that Olivia was retelling from one of the parties she had attended thinking it was an ‘art’ party. I pulled the phone from my bag and looked at the caller ID but the number was unknown. “Excuse me, let me take this.” I got up and walked away from the table we had been sitting all the way from the lunch court then answered. “Hello?” “So it is because of that girl,” came an all too familiar voice, one that I never wanted to hear. I clenched my hand into a fist as I spoke into the phone, looking around to see where he could be hiding or if he had someone watching my every move. “Listen here, I don’t know how you keep getting my number but I just want to make this clear. There is nothing between you and I and so it remains so stop

Chapter: Chapter 10When Monday came, I was about ready to attend class and get back to my normal life, I hadn’t heard anything from Liam and I was happy because I was finally starting to forget his touch and how it made my skin crawl. When I got to the art theatre, I was the only one who was there so I made myself busy. I walked over to my work station and grabbed my headsets from my bag along with my pencils, placing them on the table next to my easel. I picked my favourite pencil and started drawing. I didn’t know what it was, but I knew that my mind wanted to express itself and I let it take the lead as loud rock music blasted in my ears. I didn’t notice when the other students started coming in until I felt a hand on my shoulder and I nearly jumped out of my skin. I took my headsets off and turned to face Olivia who smiled sheepishly at me.

Chapter: Chapter 9“Leave. Get out. I don’t want to see you.” My heart was breaking harder the more I looked at him. Looking at him brought back the memories of that day when he went to a place no one has ever gone. He took my innocence away from me and now he dared to show his face as if everything was okay? “Jake, please listen to me.” I faintly heard Liam saying but I just couldn’t. “Get out!” I yelled as I covered my ears to stop the voices that no longer sounded like faint whispers but now sounded like rolling waves hitting against the rocks. “Get out, get out.” Tears streamed down my face as I fell on my knees to the floor with my eyes closed. “Please leave,” Keith said from somewhere so far away. “Look at what you are doing to him, it took me weeks to finally get him to come out

Silently Falling
Alexis was your typical everyday good girl with excellent grades, a single best friend, an annoying elder brother and a family that loved her to no end.
When senior year rolled up, Alexis wasn't looking to expand her small social circle of friends or put herself out there but things are meant to change, after all, change is the only constant thing in life.
Paired to do a group assignment with the school's three new mysterious gorgeous looking guys at the start of the term, Alexis is tested in more ways than one.
Cheesy pick up lines, rude guys, charming smiles, motorcycle rides, coffee dates and long hours together is all it takes to make her question everything she ever thought she knew.
But what happens when she falls for one of them? The one with the dark hair and green eyes? What will she do when he finds out about the secret she's been harbouring all her life? She begins to regret her decision and wish she'd met him long before, but life has its own way of playing with one's feelings. Will her secret break their newly found relationship or will it make it grow stronger?

Chapter: Epilogue N I C KSIX WHOLE MONTHS, that was long how it had been since Alexis passed and each day hurt more than the last. I felt utterly lost without her."Nick hurry up, Kai and Jake are already here and you don't want to be late for your own graduation," mum shouted from the kitchen.I sighed as I took one last look at myself in the bathroom mirror before I made my way to the kitchen."You look so handsome and grown up," mum cooed as I entered the kitchen.I rolled my eyes and joined everyone at the kitchen table and sat down next to Leah. I poured myself some orange juice and placed a few chocolate chip pancakes on my plate."I'm wearing the same outfit I always wear each day except for this stupid cap and gown.""Which I'm totally rocking by the way," Kai beamed as he stuffed mum's chocolate chip pancakes into his mouth and moaned. "I love your cooking Hailee, maybe I should think of moving in with you guys."Jake and I rolled our eyes whi

Chapter: Chapter 42N I C KAFTER I LEFT, Alexis was dragged on a gurney to the operating room and I prayed-tried to anyway, that all would go well and I'd be able to hold her again in my arms and kiss her once again.Everyone was sitted in the hospital waiting room with gloomy expressions waiting for any type of news-news that wouldn't break them even more than they already were from not knowing."Dude relax," Kai said as he placed a hand on my shoulder. "Pacing like that won't do anything other than tire you out."I didn't realise that I had been pacing back and forth until he pointed it out. I sighed and took a seat next to Asher who had his head hung low in his hands."How are you holding up?" I asked him.I honestly need to find something to distract myself otherwise I might just barge in there and see what the hell was happening to her.Asher raised his head and stared at me blankly. "My best friend is in there and I can't do anything but sit here and wai

Chapter: Chapter 41N I C KI HAD BEEN dreading this moment ever since I knew it was a possibility. I didn't want anything to happen to Leah, she was the only sibling I had left after Kayla passed and she was all mum had. But more importantly, I did not want to have to lose Alexis after I just got her.I had spent a huge amount of time researching SCD and how to treat it but each time it always led to a negative finding. The older you are, the riskier it is to have a successful bone marrow transplant. The odds were against her and that, that just broke me because I loved her. And to make matters worse, I didn't tell her I loved her when she said it to me.Sighing, I opened the door Dr. Dave had pointed me to and saw mum sat next to Leah who was stretched out on the small hospital bed."Hey!""Hey!" Leah smiled, "how's your girlfriend holding up?" she asked.My mum rolled her eyes at her statement. "Stop trying to rail your brother up," she chastised her."Gee I

Chapter: Chapter 40THERE WAS A loud beeping sound that I kept hearing and I wasn't sure what it was. I tried opening my eyes but I couldn't, it felt like they were glued together with superglue or sewed shut.I tried lifting my hand to rub my eyes but there was someone holding on to it with an iron like grip.Am I dead already? Is this how being dead feels like? This is not the way I wanted to go, my subconscious said.No of course I'm not dead. Because if I was, then I wouldn't be talking to my subconscious right? Right.I pushed myself harder until my eyes finally opened and I looked around to see that I was still in my hospital room. The thing making the beeping noises was the heart monitor I was plugged to. A sigh of relief fell from lips because I wasn't died....yet.I rolled around and saw Nick sleeping on one of the chairs in a very uncomfortable position as he clutched onto my hand with a firm grip. His usually perfect hair looked dishellved and my heart clutched

Chapter: Chapter 39FOUR MORE DAYS, that was how much time I had until the surgery. I dreaded each passing moment because the pessimistic side of me kept telling me that I wouldn't make it and I was only fooling myself by believing.Asher came over whenever he didn't have football practice or a football match and we hung out a lot. He would bring some of my school work and we'd do it together. Sometimes, he would even tell me how his relationship with Steph was going and how sometimes he just couldn't stand her clinginess. He also told me how the football guys missed me a lot and sent their well wishes.James moved back home full time and spent his mornings with me before he would drive back to his lectures which was a sweet gesture. But I hated the fact that he had to drive four hours to and from school each day. Each time he came over I would tell him he didn't have to move back but he only dismissed me with a wave of the hand and he would tell me it was no big deal.On the othe

Chapter: Chapter 38WE SPENT THE next few minutes in silence just wrapped up in each other and not saying anything. I was glad that we didn't need words in order to know what exactly each was feeling or wanted to say."Do you think we should read now?" I asked. "Or maybe later?"Nick shrugged but nodded nevertheless. "Yeah I think we should do that otherwise I might not be able to keep my hands to myself any longer," he said with a smirk as I got out of his hold."Seriously!" I exclaimed."I'm a growing hormonal teenage boy, it's not so hard to believe I have such thoughts," he replied with a casual shrug and ran a hand through his hair.I couldn't believe he just said that and he had no remorse whatsoever. I shook my head and grabbed my book from the ground as I opened it up to the first page."Do you even like reading?" I asked as he picked up his book and began reading."I'm not obsessed with it like you are, but, I do enjoy a good book once in a while," he
