“Logan looked at her and wondered how someone so beautiful could be so oblivious to their own beauty, how someone so smart could be so foolish to the extent of their own intellect and how someone so loving and compassionate could ever think she wasn’t worthy of love?
It was like watching a blind man trapped and wandering aimlessly and helplessly in a scorching hot desert unable to see the small puddle of water that lay just a foot away. The only difference was that she had eyes. Two beautiful ones, yet she could not see. Is that what madness was? Was it to be able to view and appreciate every form of beauty but to be blind to the value and exquisiteness of one’s own? Logan believed in many forms of insanity but he knew in that instant watching her trembling frame on the train tracks that hers, that her illness, surpassed any clinical or psychological term known. Maybe she did suffer from depression or bipolar or schizophrenia. Who knew? All he was certain of in that moment that she suffered from no greater illness than the blindness of the heart.”

“They were like magnets completely drawn to each other, mirroring one another’s movements and stances. They were like the opposite poles north and south completely different to one another yet they seemed to reflect and bring out the rare pure beauty and goodness within each other. Her heart thumped and walloped around in her chest cavity as if she had just completed a marathon. Her stomach fluttered nervously at the mere sight of him looking at her like that way.”

“A strange cold fear gripped him as he looked down at that angelic face resting against his shoulder. Her thick dark lashes lay heavy against her perfect olive skin like two perfect dark crescent moons concealing those glorious starry green eyes burdened with anguish much too raw and intense for a teenager to bear. She was frail and tiny and much too beautiful, light as a feather in his arms, like a pure white dove. Things were only going to get worse before they were going to get better but that was okay because Logan was determined to be there for Sienna every step of the way.”

“Ow, is anybody looking? Oh good lord, do you think it’s possibly to lose your virginity to the floor? I haven’t done the splits since I was thirteen years old!” Sienna grumbled before breaking out in to a hysterical laugh along with her best friend.”

“Ink black hair, dark smoldering eyes with eyelashes so enviably long they cast shadows upon his cheekbones, a dimpled smile and broad shoulders and a height a little over six feet was all that comprised of Logan Jackson. Basically, he looked like he had just stepped out of the cover of GQ magazine and belonged in Milan and not Haven Falls.
He looked the same but completely different all at once. His pretty boyish features had hardened. He was still handsome but in a rougher more masculine way. Gone was the slightly mischievous innocent child. Now there only remained a devilishly handsome young man”

“Sienna swallowed down her hurt and added it to the growing infestation of pain placed it in that beating glass jar of hers, concealed it shut and buried it deep under the filth and grime of her soul that no one cared to dig through. She didn’t blame them. Nobody likes to get their hands dirty, sometimes not even for the most hidden treasure and buried gold.”

“You talk weird.” She whispered as she stared up at the white ceiling.
“Its part of my barely there practically nonexistent charm, but just like genital herpes, I grow on ya, kid and I’ll getcha in the end.” Sienna replied with a smirk, although her words were vaguely comical, everything else about her was not.”

What does it say when women keep saying it will always be Stefan, and yet, when the time comes they always choose Damon? That doesn't look like true love to me.And you're damn right people hated Damon. He was bad. He was killing innocents and not giving a damn. Now I know Stefan killed as well when he was the reaper, but he's not proud of that. Every death weights heavily on him.
I think Stefan is the true underdog.
But you're right when you say he deserves better than Elena. He deserves someone who won't ever be divided. Someone who'll always choose him, no matter what.
Hell no! Caroline is already involved with far too many guys. Matt, Tyler, Klaus, the entire male population and their fathers. xD Stefan needs someone free from all that drama. Someone pure of heart.
Damon and Elena are two little devils, so of course they belong together. Like dear old Sméagol said "Sneaky, tricksy, false!" LOOOOOL
Yeah, yeah. We won't ever agree on the Salvatore brothers, so we better love the Winchesters.
Oops I meant Klaus and them despised Damon. Hehe. I guess we're not going to agree when it comes to TVD but at least we'll always have the Winchesters ;)
Loooool XD don't worry I love Stefan too but I think its 'cos everyone loves Stefan, (remember how all throughout season 2 katherine and elena kept saying "its always going to be Stefan" and even Caroline and Bonnie and Jeremy and Tyler and even Kluas LOVED Stefan and despised Stefan) he's never had that feeling of rejection (until season 4) whereas before then literally everyone in Mystic Falls excluding Alaric hated Damon including their own father which always stuck with me. I don't know, I've always had a thing for the underdog. Besides Stefan deserves better than Elena. she's selfish, a lot like Damon (who is only selfless when it comes to her) so they're perfect for each other. I really hope Stefan finds a sweet good girl who loves him just as much as he loves her but oddly enough I don't want him with Caroline. For once in TVD I'd love to see a purely platonic friendship.
Nope. I'm not a Stelena fan. I used to be that, up until the moment she became a faithless bitch. I'm done with her. I'm a Stefan die-hard lover, nothing more.You know what, you Delena fans say you want Elena with Damon, so that he can finally 'get the girl', but you know what? What about Stefan? He never got the girl either. The poor guy always had Damon on his way. He never had a woman all to himself. He was never happy. I swear Damon is the antichrist. Always on the way, always making Stefan's life a living hell, stealing his women and killing people he loved left and right.
I'm pissed! xD
Gosh, how I wish Lexie wasn't dead, so that they could become more than besties. Lexie was a damn good woman. She truly loved Stefan.
Eheheh totally. Stiles is everything on Teen Wolf. Yhe show would suck without him.
Speaking of that, I have to catch up on my episodes. I need to watch the last 3 or 4 in season 4.
Oh no! You're a stolen fan! Dw I'm not a crazy fan of Elena, to be honest I only want her with Damon because I really wanted him to finally 'get the girl' especially since he pined after Katherine for like 146 years and we all know how that panned out. And Teen Wolf would not even be a tenth as great as it is now without Stiles. He is the heart and soul and comedic relief of the show. He's the best! Cant wait to watch Dylan O'Brien in The Maze Runner tomorrow! ;D
Oh, ok. That explains why I don't know who that Enzo is. I stopped watching the show when Elena back stabbed Stefan and got together with Damon.I always loved Stiles best. He was never just the goofy sidekick for me. I always thought he was the best of, not only the guys, but everyone. Of course the first thing that catches your attention is his sense of humor, but that is one huge plus that automatically makes me take a second look and then deeper looks when we're talking about attractive guys.
Plus, who doesn't see half the stuff wouldn't get done on Teen Wolf if Stiles didn't exist? He's the brains in the pack.
Yeah Enzo is in season 5 and 6 of The Vampire Diaries. He's awesome. And I agree evil Stiles was so ridiculously hot! I was like damn! The evolution of Dylan O'Brien on Teen Wolf throughout the season is insane. He went from that goofy brother type to sweet friend to hey you're kinda good looking'?...to shut the front door! How did you become the hottie in this cast??? (beating out Tyler Posey and Colton Haynes and Tyler Hoechlin) ;D
I know, right? We don't need to fight over the Winchester and Salvatore brothers. I get the younger and you get the elder ones. ;DYou can have Elijah. And Enzo, because I'm not seeing who that guy is. Is he from Vampire Diaries?
Oh, yeah! How could you forget Stiles? He's the best character on Teen Wolf. I swear stuff wouldn't be nearly as exciting without him. And evil Stiles? AWESOME!
Ahahaha Yeah. Derek Morgan is a hot piece of chocolate.
I could swear global warming is caused by women like us who are constantly lusting over fictional men. LOL
Yay we can have a Winchester and a Salvatore brother each! Although I do love my Elijah and hmmmm...Enzo's looking pretty great right now too. And HOW COULD I FORGET STILES??? I love him too. And yeah you're right Derek Morgan is just so hot, its ridiculous and well now we know the reason behind global warming, all's I'm saying' lol ;D
LOL I admit I don't see who that Stephen Amell is. I probably know him, though.And don't worry. I also have too many husbands to count.
I love Dean Winchester as well, but I'm more of a Team Sam Winchester. LOVE HIM! Let's see. More tv husbands - Stiles Stilinski, Stefan Salvatore, Oliver Queen, Dr Spencer Reid, Derek Morgan and that sexy ass Jim from Ghost Whisperer.
Now it's too difficult to choose book husbands, but I'm going to mention those who are constantly on my mind: Jace Herondale, Jem Carstairs, Four, Prince Ash, The Painted Man, Lochan Whitely, Lore, Aeron, Vishous, Qhuinn and Blay. Pity these last two are gay, so they wouldn't give a damn about me. LOL
TV hubbies- Jon Snow!!!!! Dean Winchester, Damon Salvatore *drools, Oliver Queen, Hell, who am I kidding? Stephen Amell working out on the salmon ladder. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, you have not lived yet my friend ;D And book hubbies are way too much to count! But Patch, Jace, Dmitri, Four...oh God, I swear to you I am not even half as promiscuous as I'm making myself sound right now! If I were God knows where I'd find the time to write especially in between university classes!
Hope so as well. It certainly sounds unique. :)Oh, and there's no one better than me to fangirl with. You can start talking about your tv and book husbands. Who are they? Spill everything. ;)
Thanks for the friend invite, Ali!So curious but Beautiful Bedlam is just one of the books I have right next to me in my shelf, waiting to be read in the very near future. Oh, the excitement! ;D
Thanks Krystal, I hope you enjoy it! And trust me if you're a VA fan, we're probably already fast friends as long as you leave Adrian Ivashkov to me ;D
Hey Ali thanks for the add. Vampire Academy book series by Richelle Mead is my favorite series. Can't wait to chat books with you, also looking forward to read your book.

Only barely just an author Sandee! Lol, I hope you like my books and about writing, trust me don't wait for inspiration to strike, it'll never come until you start forcing yourself to sit in front of that dreaded laptop and start yanking out some verbs and adjectives here and there, in the end inspiration comes out in the form of your blood, sweat and tears! Well on that delightful note... don't be discouraged ;) I think only I have the morbid sense of humour to make writing sound so God awful when clearly its the love of my life.
Hi Ali! :)Thanks for the friend request. Oh gosh you're an author!! :)
