Bite The Bullet Book Novels & Stories

The laughter grew louder, kids from other classes started crowding the classroom. He snapped the diary shut when I got closer and looked down at me. “Wanna know why nobody loves you? It's because everyone can smell your desperation.” “That's not true!” I yelled as tears rolled down my cheeks. I knew I was out of their league but how could he be so cruel? What's wrong with a simple crush? I didn't kill his pet! Why is he bullying me like this? Being the Alpha's sons doesn't give them the right to treat me like this! It's not right!

"That so? Then bring out your precious sister's pup. Let everyone see. If I'm lying, the truth should be real obvious, right?" Emily had been dreading this. That bundle had been too quiet—and she knew it. Still, she lifted her chin like she had nothing to hide. "James, show that stubborn bitch." James snatched the bundle, lifted it high. "This is Emily's pup! Healthy and—" He stopped cold. Hands trembling, he tore the blanket open. Just a clump of snow-white rabbit fur. Emily shrieked. "What the hell is this?!"

He whispered one word to himself. “Firewall.” Then he walked toward the light. ~~~~~~~~~~ BOOK OF BLOOD — NEW ENTRY “There was never room for love in our world. So we carved it into the spaces between bullets and betrayals.” “We didn’t fall in love. We folded it into the war and dared it to survive.” —Aria

“See? I told you. I can’t. This isn’t for me.” “Try again,” Di urged, voice trembling but steady with faith. “Just once more.” I swallowed hard. Fine. One more time. I pressed my palms against the cover and let my mind sink into the silence, into my own pulse. I pictured hinges groaning, pages fluttering. The book shuddered. Heat flared beneath my hands. My eyes flew open. It opened. Pages ripped themselves free, fluttering until one stopped in the center. The world held its breath. My chest hammered so loud I thought the lantern would shatter; the letters on the page pulsed under my palms like a second heartbeat:

Ridge grits his teeth with anger My breathing hitches as my heart begins to hurt. "This bullet will go straight into your head." He adds. I shake my head in fear.

Crawling on hands and swollen knees to the coffee table, he grabbed a mug, praying there was a swallow of something at the bottom. There was. It was time, he thought, as he shoved five blue, seven red, four yellow into his mouth. *** “Why ‘Bullet?’” Eve had said. It was dark. Too dark. Like, a weird kinda dark that felt thick and somehow wrong. He could hear her and smell her, feel her in his arms, but he couldn’t see her as they stretched out on the mattress. “Pop always said I was dumber than shit,” he’d said. “That I musta been born with a bullet to the brains or something. And it just stuck.”

"I swear, nothing ever happened with Juliana." It was pouring rain outside. I stood at the entrance, watching the downpour. I remembered another rainy night, so long ago. The night I took a bullet for Lorenzo, my blood mixing with the rain. Back then, I thought that was love. Willing to give anything, even your life, for the person you loved. Now I knew better. That wasn't love. It was stupidity. "Bella, I was drunk that night..." Lorenzo was still pleading. "I didn't call her name, I said..."

or so he says. But I can't tell Cindy that, so I gather every bit of courage that I can find and puff out my chest, "Don't judge a book by its cover. I'm not always quiet, and there is more to me than meets the eye." After speaking, an uncomfortable silence falls, and I stare down at the ground while my heart pounds so fast I fear it might punch its way out of my chest. This is the first time I've ever stood up for my chance. I'm proud but also...terrified—what if I sounded ridiculous right now?

I bolted out of the room and welcomed the fresh air wuth a deep sigh. Tonight I woukd not think of Makaira. It would ruin me. I would not let my thoughts stray. “Hey Ghost!” Someone called and I snapped out of my thoughts. Bullet was grinning at me with a cigarette popping out from the corner of his mouth. He had his arms extended as he walked towards me, like he wanted to guve me a hug and he was holding out two shopping bags. “How are you Bull?” “I’m great, Mr Sour pants. It’s pay day what do you think?”

She shrugged with a smile "Oh" Bella murmur "Yes and guess what?" Jesse asked her Bella sat on her bed and dropped the sword beside her "What?" "I'm not good at guessing" She said "Okay" "I bought you this" Jesse showed her a novel "Which novel is this?" "Novel about vampires and hunters" Jesse said "Huh" "Why are you giving me this?" Bella finally faced her "Just maybe" Jesse shrugged "O.o..kay" "So what do you think?" Jesse asked "Thanks" Bella murmured
