ERIC WALTERS :)

These are only some of the 73 books that my idol, Eric Walters has written.


I think the main idea of Safe as Houses is that no matter how young you are, you have to take care of others and know that its gonna be hard but you can pull through.

I think the main idea of sketches is, that You can run away from your home but it doesn't mean you'll forget all the things that you want to.

I think the main idea for wounded is, that you can't judge a book by it's cover, being how Marcus's father was trying to hide the fact that he didn't need help when he really did.

This story is about me but me when I'm 16 and just the life of someone who might be going through a rough time with their family when they have no money. It's not really me don't worry.

My story.

Me and Andy payed close attention to the police car that drived by us. Hoping that they wouldn't notice what we were doing from afar. Luckily the car drived by with out noticing the smoke coming from my hand. Being 16 and smoking had its ups and downs. Andy was 18 but looked 21 so it didn't matter.

" Whoa, that was close." I said, still keeping an eye on the car as it drove away.

"Yeah, maybe you should be more careful there kid." Andy said with a playful nudge. My cigarette dropped to the ground. It didn't bother me, I was gonna toss it on the ground in a second. Andy gave me a gorgeous smirk. I loved how his face was so perfect. Dark brown eyes, brown hair and tall. Not to mention built.
After a few hours of talking and holding hands, ( you know normal couple stuff. ) I told him I had to leave.
I didn't want to. I wanted to stay right where I was. In his arms my cheek to his shoulder, feeling him breath. knowing I was safe in his arms. I let go his hand coming down my arm and stopping at my hand, he pulled me close and kissed me on the cheek. Thankfully it was dark so he wouldn't see me blushing.

Once i got home my mom was on the phone screaming at someone. I couldn't help but listen in.

" Why would you say that to him!!!????!!..... you'll never get it now!..... we need the money!!!!!" Clearly she was talking to my father. He had been away trying to find a new job. He's been unemployed for a few months now and my mom didn't make much by being waitress. Once I heard enough screaming and finally got my shoes off I raced up stairs and into my room. I shut the door and sat on my bed. Not thinking about a thing, as if nothing was wrong when there really was something wrong. we had become poor and I was taking it all out by smoking, acting out and skipping school. I used to be a good kid. Listening to my parents, stayed in school and got straight B's, and I never had a smoke until my father had left. I lied down staring at my ceiling and started to think about how Andy had changed my life. He made all of the bad things in my life... disappear like it never even happened. I closed my eyes and started to doze off  until I heard a knock on my window. I jolted up.

I slowly walked over to the window. I couldn't see a thing when it was dark out but I didn't care I wanted to see what kind of an idiot would be on my balcony and knocking at my window at 10:00 pm.
I open the window and stuck my head out to find my idiot boyfriend Andy.

" what the heck are you doing here?!" I said punching him. He laughed.

" I forgot to ask you before you left if you wanted to come to this party tomorrow. Do you wanna go?"
he said holding my hand as we leaned forward on my balcony. I wasn't sure what I wanted to do tomorrow.
without thinking I said yes.

" Good, I'll pick you up at 9:00 pm." he said with an irresistible smile. He kissed me and then shimmied down the fence onto the ground. He looked up at me one last time before he ran off.
Once i was back inside I started to pick out an outffit for the party. I imaged it would be the same people there like every time, Joe, Linda, Spencer and Katie will bring the beer. since they are the older ones with an ID.  I picked out a mini skirt and a tank-top that said love. After that I got dressed for bed and dozed off. until i was awoken by my sister poking me. I looked at my clock, it was 2:56 am!!




Hope you liked it :)
