"What are you left with, if you give up everything you think you know, for love?" LYDIA YOUNG hates her life. She's rich, beautiful, and popular, and dates a future lord, but her only wish is to get as far away from it all as possible. And she would do everything and anything in her power to do so. She's been admitted to a top university and is keeping everything in her life in check, preparing for moving away to Scotland and finally starting anew. Until her best childhood friend, MARK CARTER returns from America and drops into her life like a grenade, about to explode. Devastatingly handsome, grown-up and shroud in mystery, he sucks her into a vortex of love, excitement, and secrets until Lydia is left stranded far, far away from her clearly laid out, preset path. At least, she still has Mark. Or so she thinks. She can tell Mark is hiding something. She just doesn't know what yet. When the grenade finally goes off and Mark's past and Lydia's present catch up with them, Lydia has only one question to ask herself: What are you left with, when you give up everything you think know, for love?

"Being reunited with your childhood best friend after eight years apart? Sounds like a heart-warming story. Finding out that said best friend is now a complete jerk who's determined to make your life hell? Not so much." Georgie and Connor were once inseparable. Best friends from birth, they did everything together - well, that was until Connor's dad got a once-in-a-lifetime job opportunity and the family was forced to relocate to New York. At age sixteen, Georgie's life is totally different - her main goal being to keep her head down and escape the brutalities of high school with as little emotional scarring as possible. Balancing school, work and her dwindling social life is enough of a challenge, but it's about to get a bit more complicated when her conceited ex-best friend gets thrown into the mix. Maybe friendship should come with an instruction booklet.

Storie Sovany is used to being dismissed as the fat friend, until she moves from New York City to rural Ohio for college and the charming frat boy Liam Alexander approaches her. Torn between disbelief and flattery, Storie hopes her luck may have finally changed - but is it too good to be true? [author's note: this is not a romance!]

Avery Elizabeth Romano had a twin, whom she loved dearly. Yes, you heard it right, had. Her twin was taken away by her mother at the age of 5. Her father was killed on the same day. Her brothers abandoned her on the very same day as well. Sounds tragic, right? There were so many instances that made her want to leave everything behind and run away, to escape the place where she had once called her home. But she stayed, one time after another despite being ignored by everyone in the family. Her so called brothers shunned her away because of what happened that night. Why did she stay? No one could understand. Even at school, she was an outcast as everyone knew her as the girl who was abandoned by her family. She took everything no matter what life threw at her. She clung onto life despite knowing there was no meaning to it. Just because of a promise she made. She did not want to go back on her promise. The once kind and cheerful girl was now replaced with a cold facade, pretending everything was all right when nothing was. It's funny how everyone realise someone's worth only when they are gone. But the sad question was, will anyone even notice Avery's worth when she is gone? A/N: as usual I'm still bad at descriptions but I'm so glad to be back on wattpad writing again!

Now, thanks to a chance meeting and a meddling family member, they have been given a second chance at happiness, a happiness they both deserve.
