"No it hasn't!" "I can't trust you Chase. Especially after this." "Harper. We. Are not. Breaking up." He gripped my hands in his, his whole body shaking.

Please just give us a shot." "A part of me will probably always love you too, but I can't take chances with you Chase. You'll leave me one day, and it will kill me when you do." "Wha- No!

"Have you been hiding from me, PG?" He chuckled when he felt me shiver. "Why, you miss me?" "Of course. You're my favorite, remember?" His nose brushed along my neck and I almost turned into a puddle right there. I sighed dramatically and leaned away from his intoxicating presence, "S.. | Molly McAdams | ||
| 91bcc8c | Hey Princess." Good God I missed hearing his voice. "Chase," I had to clear my throat to continue, "I didn't think you were going to be here." "I asked if you were coming to the house." He replied hesitantly. "Right, I just figured you meant your house." The room was thick with the tension that always followed us around. My heart started racing from his nearness and I silently cursed myself. I really didn't want any kind of feelings for thi.. | Molly McAdams | ||
| 76a7a30 | Nu uh. If I'm not drinking, you're not drinking." I shot a sideways glance at Chase, "Well then why don't you have one?" "Because I don't drink anymore." He shrugged and looked around the kitchen for a moment. "Since when?" I hadn't seen him drink in months, but I didn't know he'd actually stopped. Chase stopped looking around and pierced me with his blue eyes, "Since I was a jackass and hurt my Princess." He said my Princess. My. I had goo.. | Molly McAdams | ||
| aaca9d6 | Chase shoved one of the ultrasound pictures in Bree's face, "Then what the hell is this?" I stepped up next to her, took the photo out of his hand and spoke softly, trying to hide my shaking. "It's mine Chase." You could have heard a pin drop. Chase's face had softened as soon as he'd seen me, but turned into one of shock when he registered what I'd said. After a few minutes, a grin that reached his eyes spread across his face as he searche.. | Molly McAdams | ||

| d3838a6 | And most of all, I wanted to my Kash. I wanted to be wrapped in his arms in our bed. I wanted to go back to the night of the whipped cream war, and beg him to stay home with me so none of this would happened. I wanted to a way to tell him I was okay.

| 8d3166e | I felt like Elena from Vampire Diaries. She has two insanely hot men who are in love with her and would do anything for her. One of which, she would give almost everything to be with, and the other she continues to push away, even though she can't ever actually stay away, so she won't have to admit she was in love with him too.

| 88998d2 | I closed my eyes, shook my head, and laughed softly at his breathy words. Funny how I still hated that nickname, but my heart fluttered every time he said it.

And I knew that no matter how ridiculous it was, I would never complain about it again. | Molly McAdams | ||
| 9780016 | I let my fingers run over the muscles of his chest and shoulders before making their way up to hold his face in my hands.

Instead I just continued to stare at him and finally whispered, "There are times when you know exactly what to say, and your words leave me speechless." | Molly McAdams | ||

| 95afa38 | Killing was a relatively simple matter--a blow to the head, a knife to the throat--complicated only by how much one cared about the pain or terrors animals felt in dying.... The animal also died a second death. Severed from the form in which it had lived, severed from the act that had killed it, it vanished from human memory as one of nature's creatures. | William Cronon | ||

| 493e7ce | It was a relief to inhabit someone else's life for a while, to get her personal issues for a brief respite. In a play, she knew exactly how all her character's problems would be resolved. No matter how the cast performed, the end turned out the same. No questions, no worries, no unknowns. | drama extracurricular-activities self-consciousness shyness | Alexandra Robbins | |
| 4e6ea35 | Students didn't much like those who verbally or physically beat the crap out of them. But when researchers began measuring aggression alongside perceived popularity, they found an undeniably strong link. Recent studies conclude that aggressive behaviors are now often associated with high social status. Psychologists no longer view aggression as a last-resort tactic of social misfits. Now they see aggression as a means toward social success... | influence popularity power | Alexandra Robbins | |

| a4d313f | By treating patients like customers, as nurse Amy Bozeman pointed out in a Scrubs magazine article, hospitals succumb to the ingrained cultural notion that the customer is always right.

"The patient is NOT always right. They just don't have the knowledge and training." Some.. | Alexandra Robbins | ||
