Tiny hands, Cling to my thumb, Discovering me like new lands, Leaving my body far from numb. Awakening new senses, The melodious glow of my heart; Only speaking in future tenses, Safe in the knowledge that I'll never depart. Your arm…
Beginning with a statement: I have made it my New Years resolution to write more. Ending with a question: What shall I write? A new story? If so what genre? Shall I try my hand at poetry? Even thought I can't write anything like the peop…
As I lay awake last night, I pondered about what exactly has changed in my life. As I lay there, I felt completely and utterly bored senseless. So I turned my phone on, cleared through the 20-odd emails that had piled up in my inbox, the la…
The highlight of my day was having my first ultrasound and finding out I have appendicitis. Christ.
I'd just like to thank @nynahunney before I start for helping me start to write again and for giving me all the praise I needed to get going ❤ "Things will be better here" -TIFFANY- "It takes a brave woman to leave her loved ones behin…
I've decided to pick up the pen again and start to write this story again. I've taken a slightly different angle with it, directing it away from memories of Nate and I, but keeping the characters the same. I hope you all enjoy it as much, …
Everyone thinks that I have it all, but it's so empty living behind these castle walls. If I should tumble, if I should fall, would anyone hear me screaming behind these castle walls? There's no one here at all, behind these castle walls.
"A hurricane can make cows fly. It can tear trees from the ground, toss them in the air and snap them like twigs. A house can be picked up, it's four walls parted, it's roof twisted, and everything scattered in a divine game of hide-and-see…

So, as some of you may know, I interned at Vogue Magazine this summer, but I applied for another internship at LVMH (the business side behind Louis Vuitton (clothing), Moët (champagne) and Hennessy (liquor)) and... Well.... I got it! Any i…
Anyone remember @JacobColeee? Well he's back with a new account (@jacobegcole) and he's such a good friend of mine so I'd love it if some of you would follow him :) Thank youuuuuu ❤

Give me something to believe, Because I am loving just to breathe, And I need something more, To keep on breathing for, So give me something to believe.
"What's with all the racket?" Joe mumbled, stumbling into Tiffany's room where she had slept alone that night. This was evident not only because Nate's side of the bed was still perfectly made up, but also because Joe knew Nate was staying …
"Hey" Will whispered as he stepped into Tiffany's room just before midnight. "Hey you" she said, sitting up and beckoning him over. "Shh, Mom and Serena are asleep" "They'll be alright" she said, just a notch quieter "What's up?" "It's …
"I'm home" Tiffany called, her arms full to the brim of post from their mail box. "Hello?" she called again after there was no reply. "Upstairs" Joe said, bustling her up the stairs, with letters flying out of her grasp with every step the…
"Hopefully you'll get some decent sleep here" Tiffany said as she turned off the vintage Aston Martin's engine in their old parking space. "I'd rather not have to sleep alone though" Nate protested. "Come on, I'll come in and help you wit…
"Let's go out tonight" Joe proposed whilst Tiffany excused herself to the bathroom, secretly brandishing another pregnancy test. "Butter again?" Ellie suggested, stroking Serena's tiny tufts of brown hair. "Sounds good to me, I'll book a …
For those new readers, or those who are perhaps a little confused, I've compiled a character list so far for you all to consult: Tiffany - lead girl Nate - lead boy (Tiffany's boyfriend) Mollie - Tiffany's best friend (Nate's ex) Charlie…
I see signs now all the time, That you're not dead you're sleeping, I believe in anything That brings you back home to me. - Signs by Bloc Party
Thanks to @gazplend for writing this poem for me... I'll never forget our last goodbye And a part of me that day, also died So cruelly taken away from me and from life I think of you gone and the pain cuts like a knife Sometimes I imagin…
This is probably the last one of these, although I'll probably post them randomly whenever I'm feeling down. Sure, there was only 11 when there should have been nearer 30, and some may consider that a failure. I, however, consider it a suc…
"What do you think's going on up there?" Ellie asked Joe as soon as their hosts had left the room. "I think I know. Don't worry though, I'm sure they'll sort it out all by themselves" Joe replied, focussing the rest of his energy on the ti…
"I have a job crushing drink cans. It's soda pressing. Those Russian dolls are really starting to get on my nerves, they're so full of themselves. Just went to see a band called The Vacuums. They really sucked. Women on their periods …
Now for the reality, what I'm like now that he's gone. I sleep with a line of three pillows parallel to my body so if I roll over, I can feel the rough outline of him next to me. I sleep with a pillow under my cheek too, in the same place …
One year ago today (2 days before Nate passed away), we were celebrating the fact that he'd survived longer than the doctors thought he would. We didn't realise that in 2 days we wouldn't be together to celebrate anything ever again.
"We're back, no luck I'm afraid" Joe called, sitting on an empty couch as Tiffany sunk down beside him. "Let me have a hold" he said, holding out his arms towards Ellie and flicking his fingers. "She's so gorgeous, isn't she?" Ellie cooed,…
"Tiffany!" Ellie cried in shock as she saw her sister running towards her, wearing nothing but a dressing gown that was gaping open as she ran towards them. "I've missed you so much" Tiffany cried as she crashed head on into Ellie, holding…
"How... How did this..?" she said, slumping into the bed with the baby still in her arms. "I don't know. Look, I don't know if it's actually.. You know.. But whatever's happened we need to find out soon. How do you feel?" Nate said, sittin…
"Thought of a name yet?" Nate asked Tiffany, rubbing her arm and pulling her harder against the side of his body. "I have ideas. None of them suit her though. She's going to be nameless her whole life" Tiffany moaned sarcastically, gigglin…
"New York is gridlock galore, New York has high rents, Rudeness is accepted behaviour in New York New Yorkers are neurotic. But that's why New Yorkers love New York, they are addicted to it and would be bored in any other place in the world…
"Nate" Tiffany muttered as she knocked on the door to their room "We need to talk" She'd just ascended the impossibly long staircase up to her fate, after leaving the baby downstairs with Mollie. "You're still in last night's clothes" he …
"You don't want to see her" Mollie said as she shut the door behind her in Nate's room. "I do, we need to talk about so much" he said, standing up from the bed and jolting the baby in the process. "She really needs feeding" he sighed, sitt…
Things in our lives may change, but my love for you never will.
Less of a memory and more of a quote that meant a lot to him and me, from one of the many films that made us both cry. 'Remember Me' may have Robert Pattinson in it, and it may sound like an okay film, but the ending is so dramatic and so s…
"Hello housewife! How's it all going?" Kim said as she bounded up to Tiffany with the rest of her gang in pursuit. "Ignore her babe, you look great by the way, a hundred times better than when we last saw you" Milly said, smiling and kissi…
Started writing again, got a bit bored with it so there's a gap of around 6 months, and it's now all written in the third person! "I'm back gorgeous, sorry I'm late" Nate called as he hurried into the living room. "Where have you been? I…
Kind of failed doing these, but I assure you when I haven't been posting them I've been reliving them in the places or in my head. This next memory is one of the most memorable, because of its amazing ability to strike up feelings of extr…
Work today is incredible!
My feeling of loneliness was further emphasised this morning by the lovely Chinese waitress I always have serving me breakfast. She asked me 'Will you be dining alone, again, Madame?' FML.
This memory is taken from one of the many vacations Nate and I took together. There'll probably be a lot of these as not only were vacations my favourite time of the year (they still are) but whenever we went together it was like we left th…
I was reading a post about therapeutic music by @NickyX, and it really got me thinking about music and it's influences on our mood. Happy songs make us feel happy, but sad songs don't have the predicted effect in my mind. When I listen to a…
This memory is from the start of our relationship, about a month in, on a school trip to Washington DC. I forget exactly what we were doing there, and as with all school trips I didn't really learn much, but I remember Nate and I being abso…
Happy Birthday Blake Lively! I'm having a party just for her, despite the fact that she isn't here...(any excuse!)
As it was GCSE results day yesterday, I thought I'd reflect back on when I got mine (7 A*s and 3 As). I remember having to call in to get my results, as I was back at home with my family and most importantly, so was Nate. As I've previous…
I'd just like to wish everyone who's getting their GCSE results tomorrow morning good luck!
I was thinking back to the first time I really started to love him, and I've manage to trace my feelings for him back to when we were six or seven years old. Our grandmother's have always been close, and they used to go out for brunch toge…
This one is less of a memory, and more of a song that we used to listen to. When I listen back to it now though, I can't help but pick up on its relevance now he's dead. I'm sure he didn't, but it's almost like he knew what was going to hap…
This took place about three years ago, before Nate and I started dating, and it's not particularly prominent in our lives together, but it's one of those things that at the time makes you hate someone, but when you look back you can't help …
To mark the transition between the 11th and 12th month anniversaries of Nate's death, I decided whilst somewhere over France that I'd write down a memory every day this month. Sure, some of them won't mean that much to you, and some of the…
11 months ago, my beautiful boyfriend Nate passed away. I've spent the whole of the last 11 months remembering back to what I was doing on this day when he was alive with me: things like specific dates we had, like the day he first started…
-TIFFANY- "Tiffany? Sorry, I had to call you. You left me your number last year remember? If I needed a party planning?" "Oh yes, of course" I said to Mrs Guy, my English Literature teacher. "Well, I couldn't help but read your essay stra…
-NATE- "What's wrong? Surely that's all good news?" I asked Tiffany as soon as she'd got in the car and slammed the door, to my annoyance. "It doesn't matter. But yes the first part was great" she said, staring vacantly out of the window a…
-TIFFANY- "Tiffany! Good to see you back! How was the Maldives?" Mrs Guy asked as soon as I walked in. "Absolutely incredible thank you!" I replied, sitting down in my seat after pulling my folder off her shelf. "Enjoying married life?" s…
Currently battling with an Italian TV set to try and get coverage of the closing ceremony - anyone happen to know any Italian channels that are showing it/are available on the top of a mountain? And does anyone else know if Waterloo Sunset…
-TIFFANY- "Hey coach, do you mind if I sit and watch?" I said as the coach came to open the door for me. "Do you mind staying out for just a minute? Nate's doing a time trial and I don't want him to be distracted by you, which is inevitab…
-TIFFANY- I started awake, breathing heavily with beads of sweat forming across my brow like an assortment of diamonds. "T? What's wrong?" Nate whispered from above me, not sounding tired. "I just had a nightmare. I dreamt you'd properly l…
Really hitting them out of the ball park now..! -NATE- "Tiffany?" I asked as I pushed through the door into her room. "She's fine. Don't worry" Milly said to me, looking at me with slight disgust. "What happened? Let me see her" I dema…
-TIFFANY- "How could she do this to you? She's so manipulative, I just can't believe it! I bet she set this all up! I'm so angry!" Kim said, pacing and stomping around the room. "You're not helping" Milly said, sitting alongside me on our …
-NATE- "Mollie?" I asked tentatively as I pushed the door to her room open. "Who-- Nate?" she said, coming out to greet me. I'd only ever seen her in such a tearful state once before: after the news of the miscarriage, and it was making me…
-TIFFANY- "Nate, you came" I said, from my position in the doorway. I'd been stood there for a few seconds, having literally just arrived at Mollie's new room. She'd already greeted me with her usual glare and malicious behaviour, but as s…
-TIFFANY- "T, we can call you that right?" Kim said from within her drink induced haze. "Go for it!" I said, smiling at her and laughing a little about how slurred her words were. "I, I mean we. We want to tell you that we're so proud of …
You may be wondering why I'm knocking these out at quite a rate, but I'm going on vacation tomorrow and I've formed a back log when I've written more than I've posted! -TIFFANY- "Baby!" I cried as I saw Nate sat there in a white tshirt wa…
-TIFFANY- The rest of the trip went like a blur: a blur of sea, sand, scuba diving and suntans. We spent everyday doing something gloriously exciting, like diving or swimming in the areas not infested with sharks, or walking around Nate's …
-TIFFANY- When I woke up the next morning, I turned over and flopped my arm onto Nate's side of the bed, only to find it cold and empty. "Nate?" I murmured, still half asleep. I called again, and soon realised he wasn't on the island. I …
-NATE- "Morning honey" I said, turning my head as soon as I woke up to see Tiffany's peaceful face. "Morning Mr Cole" she replied, placing a hand on my cheek and pulling herself in for a tender kiss. As it ended, I glanced behind Tiffany'…
-NATE- "Can you pass the salt?" Tiffany asked as I passed it over to her. "You sure do love your salt, don't you?" I said, chuckling. "Problem with that Nathaniel?" "Hey, did I tell you off for it?" "What are we doing tomorrow?" she as…
-NATE- "What's that over there?" Tiffany asked as we lay on the sandy white beach later that afternoon that circles the island. "It's one of our neighbouring islands. It's a six star hotel, so if we want to go for dinner or to a spa or so…
-TIFFANY- "Wake up gorgeous" Nate said to me, shifting in his seat to startle me a little. "Where am I?" I asked, eyes feeling dry and blurred. "We've just landed, the crew were kind enough to let you stay asleep" "Where though?" "Malé, …
-NATE- "Just forget about her for the next week, please? I promise it'll all be fine. We just need to clear our heads" I told Tiffany, looking into her stormy and troubled eyes. "I know. I just can't imagine what's going to happen as soon…
My one true love Blue eyes Tall like a tower Love at first sight. Soft like a dove I could never despise Gentle like a flower Love you with all my might. Treat me so well Your birthplace was heaven Words fail me when we meet Let me be w…
-NATE- "Get back in there" I said to Tiffany, pushing her gently back into the bathroom. "No I can handle--" "No you can't. Please let me deal with her" I said, turning my back to Mollie and looking into Tiffany's eyes to convince her. "…
-NATE- The meal that ensued was a pleasant one, with Tiffany and I enjoying civilised conversation with various members of our families and with upper class society; the society we were now a couple in. What wasn't seen, however, was my h…
-NATE- "I don't think this is an appropriate reason, please save this until later" the priest decreed instantly, not even looking at Jeremy. "I can now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride" Finally, the moment I'd been waitin…
For my latest piece of writing, I have to discuss the pros and cons of airbrushing in the fashion industry, and to do that I've decided to compile as many opinions as possible to give an accurate view of how the population feels. So, if you…
Knew something wasn't right As I lay awake last night. Today my ex's mother rang, Told me news about him that's made my heart pang. When I left him he started drinking, Heard he'd basically stopped thinking, And now he's lying in a hospit…
-TIFFANY- "Are you ready?" Will said to me, linking his arm through mine. "Just about. Thanks for doing this" I said, kissing him on the cheek. "Not a problem. I'd like to say I was more suitable for the role than he is anyway. Now, are…
At the ripe old age of 11, I had two dreams: to work at Vogue magazine and to be in the 2012 Olympics. I was in training for my favourite events: 400m IM and 100m freestyle, and my coach told me that with enough training I could go to the …
-NATE- I took my place at the front of the alter at the St. Bartholomew church next to the Waldorf Astoria. It was Tiffany's mother's choice, as she had married here too. I'd arrived half an hour early, but I was still panicky about Tiff…
Rank 19, happened over night I know that's cliché but it really did Low self confidence meant I lost the will to fight Kept writing through all my doubts You gave me so much support, I hope I'm proving you right. This story was an expe…
A poem for anyone who's wondered what I do on an average day, or who's wondered what fashion interns do! Mild language, but nothing you didn't hear on the first Harry Potter film! Even though I'm super rich, Today I feel like everyone's …
-NATE- "How was your run?" Charlie said as I got back. He'd already put his shirt and his suit on, and all he had left to do was his bow tie and jacket. "Good. I went to see Tiffany" "You did what? Nate, you shouldn't have!" "I didn't see…
-TIFFANY- "Oh my darling! You look magnificent!" my mother said, inhaling strongly. I stepped out of my bedroom, with Vera Wang following swiftly behind me, carrying my train. She'd hand delivered my dress earlier this morning, and had st…
Back in London town, Taken off my Hamptons crown, Back to the place where the rain pours down But what is this? Better dispose of this frown. It's sunny in this city Making it all look rather pretty It doesn't normally when the weather's sh…
Having such a great time, so I haven't had much time to write :( sorry! -TIFFANY- "Morning" I said, looking across to realise that my mom had fallen asleep alongside me. I remembered coming into the flat, and going straight into bed. I c…
Back on the road, In his Bugatti The traffic hasn't once slowed Onto the next place Heathrow then JFK Putting on a brave face. With Guy on my right And my luggage in the trunk I want to get away until I'm out of sight. Lady at check-in j…
-NATE- "Nate?" Tiffany's father said, walking out of his office and almost running into me. "Can I have a word please?" I said, backing him back into his office. His office was a momentous display of his success: one wall was dedicated …
-NATE- "So how are you feeling?" Charlie asked me as we walked along Fifth. "Excited. I don't know why people get so nervous, it's one of the most exciting things ever!" "I'll quote that back tomorrow!" Charlie said "You'll be nervous, I …
Small like a teacup Soft is this little pup Nuzzling into my chest Chewing on my vest She slumbers silently Before playing violently With a plastic flower pot And a plant that's starting to rot. My little piece of sunshine Even though s…
-NATE- "Hey mate" I said to Charlie as I saw him sat on his bed. "Aright?" "Yeah, just said goodbye to Tiffany. Are we going out later?" I said, hoping that as my best man he'd arranged something. "Yeah, I need to find a date" "What do…
-TIFFANY- The next few days were a blur of answering inevitable questions from fellow students, attending lessons and going to various cake tastings or dress fittings. I'd asked Mollie to be my maid of honour, so we had to get her dress fi…
Woke up to this as a note stuck to my face, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!: Turns out you're not the only English fanatic, Your phone password; wasn't that hard to crack it, Saw your story and poem about me Am I flattered? I just ca…
-NATE- I looked across at her, sitting across the room from me with a pen in her mouth. I couldn't help but fantasise about what had happened before we came into economics, and about what would inevitably happen after this lesson. I hadn'…
-TIFFANY- "You look damn good in a swimsuit" He said to me, when I emerged from the changing rooms. "Why thank you sir" I said, spinning around. "Fancy joining me in ten warm up laps?" "I'm not as fit as you remember! And I haven't trai…
(I've found three new sources of inspiration, so I thought I'd give poetry another go! For the three men who took me in yesterday, one I knew and two total strangers. I never knew strangers could show such kindness) Finding three new frien…
You're probably thinking that this is some crazy teenage rant that should be banished to a lousy Facebook status, but it's what's on my mind, so I'm going to speak it. I moved out yesterday. Everything got too much for me, and I'm now stay…
-TIFFANY- "Hey!" Mollie said as I walked into my new room. "Nate brought your bags up earlier, so they're all ready to unpack! Your wardrobe is over there, and your bed is the one by the wall. It's bigger too, so you can have you know who …
-NATE- The next few days were spent minding our own business. It was as if we were room mates, not engaged. We shared very little contact, and very little conversation, apart from brief questions about wedding planning. It was all planned…
-TIFFANY- I was discharged the next morning, after briefly seeing my mother. She'd been supportive, and before she had to leave she seemed genuinely interested in my health. We drove back in silence. The past day had been filled with a l…
-NATE- "Nate?" Tiffany said, turning over to put her arm around me. "Morning" "I'm sad, Nate" she said, in a youthful and childlike voice. "I know you are sweetheart, so am I. But we have to put on brave faces for school. I called in and…
-NATE- "She's having the rest of the tests" Mollie said as she walked out to see me. "I need to be in there then!" I said, rushing towards the door. "Nate, stop" she said, putting a hand on my shoulder. "Why? She needs me" "She needed you …
-TIFFANY- "Get her into have her baby checked please" Nate called, still cradling me. I felt a lot better than I had done, and my minor injuries were fading away almost before my very eyes. What was panicking me the most though, was seein…
-NATE- "What time did you say Tiffany would be back?" Mollie said, from her position on my bed. "I thought she'd have been home at least 10 minutes ago. Do you mind if I call her?" "Go ahead" she said, as I stepped out. "She hasn't ans…
-TIFFANY- "Hey Sarah" I said, approaching a slumbering Sarah. "Tiffany? Is that you?" she said, through half closed eyes. "Yeah. I've got you a treat!" I said, sitting down alongside her and passing her the latest edition of Vogue. "It's…
-TIFFANY- "Close your eyes" I said to Nate, standing behind him to cover his eyes. I felt his eyelashes flick across my palm, so I knew they were shut. Nonetheless, I kept my hands there so he wouldn't see what I'd prepared for him. I'd t…
-NATE- "We'd love to meet this fiancé of yours" one of the Chinese men told me after I'd finished telling them all about her. "I'll call her and see if she's free" I said, dialling Tiffany. "Hey!" she said, sounding bright and cheery. "…
-NATE- "T? Are you okay?" I said, leaping out of bed to realise that she wasn't beside me. "Morning" she said, braced over the toilet. "Aww sweetie, here" I said, scraping her hair off her face. "I'm okay now, don't worry" she said, si…
I can't sleep, so here's another part. There'll probably be a tonne more before sunrise! -TIFFANY- When we emerged out of the underground subway, Nate guided me left, towards where I knew Bryant Square was. "Can you not give me any clues…
-TIFFANY- "Come on" he said, leading me down into one of the subway entrances. "Nate. I think now might be the time to tell you that I've never been on the subway. In my 18 years living on this island, the subway has never appealed to me…
Please read. At the end it contains information explaining my story, which I think is necessary for anyone who reads my story to understand before they read any more of it. Thank you in advance: I believe that I truly understand the meani…
I think the location below proves exactly how I'm feeling right now. I did some power writing on the plane though, instead of sleeping, and some serious thinking. Might post my thought trail in a bit. -TIFFANY- "Dan?" I said, walking out…
-NATE- I heard the door open and I immediately rushed out of the kitchen to see if it was Tiffany. "Tiffany!" I said, rushing towards her to give her a hug "I've been worried sick, where have you been?" "I met Dan. You remember Dan righ…
-NATE- "T, get back here!" I said from within the car, but she'd already blended in with the masses of people. I never imagined that she'd ever really blend in with tourists, but clearly I was wrong. I relaxed back into the seat and sighe…
-TIFFANY- The journey home was a quiet one. It felt almost dangerous as Nate drove a lot slower than usual, constantly gazing at the picture of the scan on the dashboard. "Eyes on the road please" I said to him, pushing his head gently u…
-TIFFANY- "She should be here any minute" I said to the nurse, who was patiently waiting for Ellie to come and join us. "In a few more minutes I'm afraid we'll have to begin, or we'll run over with your slot" "Of course, I understand" I…
-NATE- "I'm going shopping for baby clothes with mother and Mrs V today, is that alright?" "Of course baby" I said, hugging Tiffany. We'd spent our first night together in our new home, and it had been absolutely perfect. I'd tried to p…
-TIFFANY- "Can I have everyone's attention please?" Nate said, standing on the fifth stair in our new house. The large crowd of people who'd attended our small party were all congregated in front of the staircase, waiting for Nate to spea…
As a journalist, it's my job to always aim to get exclusive interviews, no matter when or where. So, today, I managed to sit down and talk to Shenae Grimes. And I was on a flight, making me a super dedicated journalist! I can safely say t…
-TIFFANY- "How does this sound" I began, reading out the invitation I'd just drafted "Tiffany and Nate would like to request your attendance at an engagement/pregnancy/house warming soirée on Saturday August 25th 2012" "Sounds good" Nate…
-NATE- Just as what Tiffany called 'the most romantic part' of Breakfast at Tiffany's was about to begin, my phone rang. I glanced across at it, but Tiffany kept holding me tighter, indicating that she didn't want me to leave. I craned m…
As a 'holiday special' (because I'm in such a good mood!) I've decided to include two parts as this is probably all I'm posting today x -TIFFANY- Both mine and Nate's phones blew up today with feedback on our magazine feature. My blog w…
You may be wondering why I'm awake at 4am. The reason is simple: July 4th. Not only is it the busiest day of the year for me (with my notorious July 4th party, but also my best friend's wedding today) but this day is also my favourite. It's…
-TIFFANY- "Hey Ellie" I said, down the phone to my half sister. "Tiffany, is everything okay? We're seeing you later, what's wrong?" "I've got some great news for you" I said, as Nate intertwined his fingers with mine. We were sat on a …
So, as I was standing at the top of the Empire State Building last night, I suddenly wanted to write some poetry. I'm not overly confident about writing poetry, but I saw how popular it is on Opuss and thought I'd give it a try! Please tell…
-NATE- "This is the perfect one" Tiffany said as soon as we walked into the fifth apartment of the day. "Let's have a look first" I began, but she was certain this was 'the one'. "I'll leave you two to wonder round" the estate agent sai…
Apologies to everyone who's waiting for more parts to my story, but I'm currently on a business trip to New York (which basically means I'm shopping) so there will be less posts daily. I should be back soon (definitely before the end of the…
-NATE- I'm engaged. She's got the ring to prove it so it's real. That was all I could think about while we were walking down to Tiffany's mother's house. She was dressed in a knee length white dress, which was very Grecian, with a pleated…
-TIFFANY- "Happy birthday gorgeous" Nate said, walking into my room with a single box. "Morning" I said, turning over and smiling at him. The past four days had been spent apart, guarding my mother from the news that was lingering around t…
-TIFFANY- "It's my mother" I said, although I could tell from Nate's pained facial expression that he'd already seen the screen. "I think this is going to be awkward" "Accept it, don't ignore or she'll know something's up. Just be really…
-NATE- She kissed me tenderly on the forehead before leaving with Sandy. "Bring me back a pastry!" I shouted after her just as she walked through the door. "Anything for you" she said, turning back and smiling. Her face was lit by the s…
-TIFFANY- Ellie and Joe left an hour after I'd fallen asleep, according to Nate. He'd just lay there with me in his arms for around three hours. When I started to wake up, it was 9am, and the hospital was becoming noisy with new people be…
-NATE- "You really don't look great, what happened?" Joe said to me, looking at my bruising. "It's a really long story" I replied, not wanting to go into any details. "So what's broken?" he asked again, trying to make conversation. "Tw…
-TIFFANY- "Hello again" I said, coming in with a chair, Sandy following closely behind with another. We set them down on the floor, before I thanked Sandy and sat down on one, the one closer to Nate's bed. "We've got something we want to …
PART TWENTY NINE -TIFFANY- "He needs to be x-rayed, is that alright?" a nurse said to me. "Of course" I said, before adding "I'm only his fiancée, does that matter?" "Not at this stage, but if you could get hold of his parents that woul…
-TIFFANY- "Tiffany, if you want to marry him then do. If you don't, then having this baby is a bad idea too. I think you've got two choices: marry Nate and have the child; or tell him no, end your relationship and have an abortion. I know…
-CHARLIE- As I sat out on my balcony with Mollie, sipping at lemonades, my phone suddenly rang. "Excuse me" I said, as I saw who it was calling. I went inside, and sat down on my bed, closing the doors behind me. "Nate!" I exclaimed. "Wha…
-TIFFANY- "What date is it today?" I asked, looking across at Nate who was sat up reading The New York Times. I always had this problem when I wasn't in the city: I never knew what day of the week it was or what date it was, but I knew i…
-NATE- We deliberated what to do with Victoria for a good hour or so; ideas flew around the place, but none seemed to work with what we required. After the hour, we finally reached a conclusion, a takedown that was perfect. "So, just so e…
-TIFFANY- Nate knew exactly what to do in this circumstance. He kept kissing me, more passionately and slower than before, but I was still not enjoying myself as much as I could. I knew Mollie had my back covered, but I still couldn't he…
-TIFFANY- "Now, can I meet your boyfriend? Nate isn't it?" Mimi asked, and I nodded, still feeling a little shaken up. Mollie lead us both round the side of the house to the driveway, where I'd been with Nate a few minutes ago. "He's g…
-MOLLIE- "Tiffany! Please don't interrupt" her mother stated in a shocked and angry tone. Tiffany turned to her mother and gave a fake smile and gestured for Mimi to continue. Even my heart had sunk by this point, when would this girl jus…
-TIFFANY- At 1.30 I was ready to leave, pacing around the vicinity of the front door nervously. What was going to happen? Would I need to be more made up than this? I looked again at my face in the mirror that was in the living area, next t…
There'll be no posts tonight, as I'm out with some friends watching Jay Z and Kanye West live. Sorry! Have a good Friday night everyone! :)
-TIFFANY- "T, Charlie and I broke up, as you know, but now we're back together. He came home yesterday and told me how much he loved me, so I took him back. (By the way, say thanks to Nate, that was obviously all down to him!). Secondly, …
-TIFFANY- I rolled over and tumbled onto the floor, realising as soon as I hit the wooden floor that I wasn't on the same side of the bed I normally sleep on. "Ouch" I said quietly under my breath, carefully picking myself up and standing…
I love the idea of writing to music, and having a 'soundtrack' to each section of work. So, just to try it out, this section is not only very long, but it's soundtrack is 'Riverside' by Agnes Obel. For the first part, it's the Lulu Rouge Re…
-NATE- "So, tell me everything that's going on. And don't skip anything out" I said, stepping into Charlie's house. He started to climb the white staircase, but I stopped briefly by the kitchen to greet his mother and to quickly fill her i…
-TIFFANY- I walked down the stairs, and noticed that we were a few minutes from the shore. I looked across and saw Nate sat with Hannah, and my heart sank. How had I gone from such a high to such a low in such a short period of time? I de…
-TIFFANY- After we'd arrived back at the boat it appeared that no one had noticed our departure. Just as my parents didn't when I was 14. It hurt a little, but knowing that I was in the most secure relationship I could ever be in made me ha…
I've just finished my last exam, which means I'm free! Nothing to do apart from work at Vogue for the next 12 weeks. This means I'll be re establishing my connection with this app, and the next part of my story will be up in a matter of mi…
-MOLLIE- "Where's the birthday boy?" I said, as I pulled myself out of the cool water. It started to trail off my body, so I briefly dried myself off before looking up at Charlie, wanting an answer. "I don't know, I haven't seen him since…
These are all from different people's viewpoints now, so at the top I'll write who! TIFFANY He was a much faster swimmer than me. I knew that, and it was finally being proved again. We'd set off at the same time towards the cove but he'd…
Nate's face sank as I looked across at him. His face was full of emotion - confusion, shock that he hadn't worked it out, rage and also a level of sadness. His hand slipped into mine, and he squeezed it tight. "I promise you, hand on my he…
"Let me introduce my girlfriend, Tiffany" I said to Hannah, putting my arm round Tiffany's waist. She flinched and pulled away slightly, but I understood why. "You've got a girlfriend?" Hannah said "Yeah, didn't you know?" I replied "Ummm…
We made our way over to the bay; and as we walked along the paved area of walkway, we discussed what had happened with Tiffany. "Don't you think you're overreacting a bit?" he said, once I'd finished. "I don't know. Do you?" I replied. "…
The water felt unbelievably cool and refreshing against my face. I hadn't realised how worked up I'd got talking to Tiffany. I was sat bolt upright on my board somewhere in the ocean, far enough out that I could be alone but close enough t…
Just a short one because I've got loads of exams tomorrow: "This morning we're going out. Charlie's got his parent's yacht for the day and we're going on it okay? If Victoria's there then we'll just have to ignore her, okay sweetie?" I sa…
Tiffany spent the rest of the evening drifting around the place, with a slightly confused face that was mixed with extreme concentration. People spoke to us as a couple but they rarely got an answer from Tiffany. "Babe, will you please be…
"I'm never going to get enough of walking arm in arm with you" Tiffany whispered into my ear as we walked down the stairs that lead into the large atrium. In the centre was a large fountain, with statuettes of men and various creatures. I …
I woke up with the summer sunlight streaming through the open window; a cool breeze fluttering over our bodies as we slept. I looked across to the other side of the bed and I saw Tiffany lying on her side, her head nestled in between the p…
I picked up the Louis Vuitton suitcase that was by the foot of Tiffany's bed. I'd been to her house earlier that day to pick up her vacation clothes and mine and I'd packed them in the trunk that was now waiting to depart. After being hugg…
After showering and changing, packing a suitcase full of my clothes and hers, I ran down the stairs, realising I'd been a little longer than I promised. I was glad I'd packed Tiffany's clothes though, they'd give me something to smell and …
I had to go home. To Tiffany's home at least. I'd only showered in the hospital showers for two weeks and they weren't quite enough. I needed to get some more clothes and I needed to eat. I'd been skipping meals and I knew that as soon as I…
If anyone has any ideas on a second title if love to hear them! So I said I was having a break, but I missed writing.. I'm going away on Monday so I won't be posting after then but I'll still be writing! Keep looking out for these, they'll…
This is the final chapter for this first story, I'll probably take a break from it for a week or so, then I'll follow it up! And don't worry, the sequel will feature all 3 people... I spiralled downwards, into a heap on the floor. My bathr…
We lay in bed, the sheets pulled up to my shoulders so I could stay warm in the well air conditioned suite. On the floor lay my prom dress: the silk was ruffled and tossed down, making it seem shinier as the light bounced off its folds. Nex…
We all sat down on our assigned tables, ready to eat the meal. I sat with Nate on my one side, my left hand planted in his for the whole meal; and Mollie on the other. The rest of the table was filled with a few Nate's friends and a few of …
Mollie and I arrived at the venue in my town car, which is a black limousine. I used it to travel around the city from dawn to dusk, and I'd used it since I was 6 years old. Obviously then I'd used it with my mother or my nanny, but over th…
Three minutes later, Mollie started to collect her equipment to apply the most creative bit onto my nails. I promised myself I wouldn't look, no matter whether she asked me or not. I secretly enjoyed surprises, and this gave me time to thin…
Before I knew what I was doing, I realised I'd written way too much for one part, so I've split it into two sections! Enjoy! I finished the bulk of my packing, knowing I could finish it tomorrow or the day after if need be. I headed along …
The next few days were spent being lazy; I would wake up at whatever hour I chose, and would tiptoe out of my room so as not to wake Mollie. I would make my way around to the boys dorms, and along to the end of the main corridor, where I kn…
Vogue’s power is universally acknowledged. It’s the place everybody wants to be if they want to be in the world of fashion.
As I made my way up the staircase to where I knew Nate's room was, a sense of anticipation and excitement passed through me. I got to the top of the stairs and saw a few guys hanging round in Nate's corridor. His room was at the end, the eq…
We made it out into the garden, and as soon as we did he sat down on the lawn, in plain sight of everyone. I suppose we could do that now, and there was no need to hide in the shadows. We stayed near the back of the area, away from the gag…
Prom was taking place in 3 days, and I'm happy to say that I am 100% ready. I've got my dress, I've planned my hair and makeup, I've planned transport and the like, but most importantly, I have the man I love the most on my arm. Nothing cou…
The next few days flew by: Nate escorting me to and from exams and lessons, spending all my free time with him and Mollie. Life was how it used to be, we could joke together, and share our secrets like we used to when we were little. There …
"So I was like, Jenny! Get off him, he's way below you! And then she was like, no she isn't! It was so funny because it was clearly a guy and she thought he was a girl! Oh my god, it was like the most hilarious thing ever!" the voice cried,…
My eyes fluttered open, and I looked down at my bare arms and under the sheets to reveal that I was, in fact, only wearing my underwear. I turned my head to see who it was lying next to me and it was Nate with his shirt off. I struggled to …
That night, Nate and I stayed at my house. We checked with Rad to see of he really had called the school, and he had. He also apologised for letting Isabelle up. If truth be told, he looked terrified that we were about to fire him, but I li…
"I've decided to go with... Tiffany" he said, starting to stroke my thigh again. I looked up at him as if to say 'what are you playing at?' Mollie looked over at me, looking a little confused. "I can explain" I said, "No, I think you'll f…
"What are you three doing here?" said Mollie with a confused look on her face. "And Isabelle, is that you? You look incredible!" "Thanks, you see Nate and I are going to prom together now, aren't we Nate?" she asked, grabbing him off me an…
As you may have read, I'm out at the moment in Paris, so this hasn't been edited (I apologise for all errors) and its a bit rushed. But you get the rough idea! "What the hell are you doing here?" I shouted to the figure, lounging on my cou…
I opened my eyes from the kiss and saw my favourite place in the whole world. We were in Central Park, at The Lake. What made this evening scene more beautiful was the fact that Nate had arranged for my favourite area around the lake to be …
A car waited around the back of the school from 5.30, but no one had seen it. On the dot of 6, I headed out, sunglasses on so I wasn't clearly identifiable. Other students in my year were allowed out into the city from 5pm, but as I hadn't …
The art lesson ended, and everyone wondered off to their next lesson. Nate walked out, with Mollie hot on his heels, linking her harm through his. "I've got Biology now baby, so I'll see you later okay?" she said, kissing him and hugging h…
That day at school went unbearably slow. We had no exams, so we all sat around 'revising' in all of our lessons. It was an easy day for me - double art then double gym, so I wasn't stressing about not sleeping that night. I didn't need sle…
We broke the kiss, and he started to talk: "So, I said I had something to show you, and I do. Do you remember that summer when we were 13, and we went to the Hamptons and we realised our houses were almost next door?" "Sure I do" I added. I…
I didn't sleep that night. I tossed and turned until I eventually gave up trying. I walked to the bathroom and stood in front of the mirror. I looked myself in the eye and I'd noticed a change: not only was my skin darker, but my eyes were …
We exchanged messages that night. He'd told Mollie he didn't want to see her that night, and when she asked why, he said he wasn't feeling well. We started off talking the way we used to, about our lives and how each other was. It felt lik…
His golden hair was illuminated by a single beam of light that danced on each hair, making them glimmer and shine. He was wearing a white polo shirt, crisp and clean, with a pair of maroon shorts and his pair of maroon flip flops. He'd come…
I went up to my makeshift bed, and changed into another outfit (which I'd stolen from my room when I knew Mollie had left). It was a titanium white dress, with a tan belt that made my figure look even more like an hourglass. I slipped on so…
I spent the whole day hiding behind my Ray Bans. It was a Sunday, and as the name promises, the sun was out on this fine Summer's day. I lay low, staying outside at all times, as far away from Mollie's room as possible. I went to visit my …
This sounds stupid, but I'm going round the Condé Nast building in a week and a half, and I have no clue what to wear. It's not a overly social or the kind of event where you dress up, but I really need to make an impression there if I have…
Tears started to fall down my face, and as they hit my eye lashes, which were still coated in mascara, they continued their path down my face in black ink ravines. I turned to walk out of the door, but my feet felt like they were cemented t…
I knew I wasn't welcome in Mollie and I's room that night. As soon as I entered to gather my vital belongings, I felt her cold glare on my back, following me with every move I took. I gathered two day's worth of outfits, my technology (lapt…
The day after the exam, Mollie and I went to a spa for a day out. As we sat next to each other on the reclined chairs, hands outstretched, waiting for our manicures, she looked across at me, her face green due to the gloopy face mask that w…
I didn't go into school the next day. It was a month since my aunt died, so I just lay in my room all day. I didn't want to have to face the world when I felt so weak inside. I had to go in in the afternoon to sit an exam, so I did. As I ca…
He may not be here anymore, and he hasn't been here for 8 months now; but that doesn't mean I don't think about him every second of every day. This is for him:- You're far away tonight, I haven't seen you in a while. It always feels like …
Over the next few days, I tried my hardest to come to terms with losing Nate. I stayed with the two of them in lessons, but after that I tried to mingle with the other popular girls and the jocks. Things weren't the same. I don't laugh the …
That night I went to my aunts grave. I sat there in her favourite dress of mine, a rich cream coloured dress that I knew Nate loved too. I put down a white rose, as I did whenever I went there. It was sad to see the lack of other flowers, o…
If you don't fight for what you want, don't cry for what you lost.
This one's a little bit shorter, because there wasn't much of a gap, enjoy!: The next day at school was awkward. I had art class with both of them, and no matter how many people I tried to socialise with, I couldn't keep my eyes off the go…
I headed back to the dorms that evening, and got changed into some other clothes. It gave me an ample time to go and see my best friend and hopefully borrow some of her clothes so I could go and see Nate. When I went in, she ran over to me…
I gazed across the room at him, his golden hair gleaming as he made his way across the classroom. He stopped to sit on a table in front of his friends, and promptly blocked the sunlight from reaching my eyes, and instead illuminated his hai…

Life should be given a ticket for speeding.
So if you ever change your mind, I'll come straight back to your side, because there's no getting over you. Yeah, there's no getting over you. And I hate it when we fight, and it keeps me up all night, because I need you on my side. Yeah, I…
Just had my hair styled at the most incredible salon in the Cotswolds. Had my hair washed whilst sat in a massage chair, whilst reading Vogue and drinking green tea. Had a pretty incredible day :)
My godmother has just been diagnosed with breast cancer. Making her the second person in my life (in the past year) to develop cancer.
I may not be there yet, but I'm closer than I was yesterday.

Sometimes, I don't think my parents realise that the walls are paper thin, they talk loudly and I have good hearing.
Worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebraic equation by chewing bubble gum.
Some people call it work, but I prefer to refer to it as spending my day in a store telling people what to wear, and being paid for it It's the best thing in my world right now
The best things in life are free. The second best things however, are very very expensive. Genius.
And it feels like I am just too close to love you. There's nothing more that I can really say. I can't lie no more, I can't hide no more. Got to be true to myself. And it feels like I am just to close to love you. So I'll be on my way.
The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it.

So I posted this on my old account, and I just wanted it on my new one. It's a story I've been writing, that's semi autobiographical about my best friend who died of cancer a six months ago. Hope you enjoy :) Her pale, dewy skin pressed ag…
I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find that you're not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again. ~ F. Scott Fitzgerald
There's a note underneath your front door, that I wrote 20 years ago. Yellow paper and a faded picture, and a secret, in an envelope. There's no reasons, no excuses, no second hand alibis. Just some black ink, on some blue lines, and a sh…
My account is somehow deleted. I will try and get it back, but technology has never been my strong point, so I've made a new one for the time being. Please follow me again, as I'm pretty gutted I've lost everyone
