Skylar Kennedy knew exactly what she wanted to do, and exactly how she was going to get it done. Pinterest boards full of research on astrophysics, and saving up money to buy a telescope was only the beginning. She had a plan, and she was determined to make it work, despite the fact that her spiralling anxiety is trying to convince her otherwise. Aiden Park hadn't the slightest inclination of what he was going to do. An earth-shattering incident left his entire life in shambles, and he was left trying his best to put the pieces back together. Two completely different people, former best friends, had not a clue of their worlds intertwining. But it was up to them to decide if their paths were going to get tangled into one or diverge in two different roads.

Twenty-two-year-old Emma Campbell had a dreadful lifestyle. She survived a lifetime complete of depression and heartache. Her mother passed away whilst she was merely four-years-old.

Emma's fresh journey begins when she by chance encounters a young man named James Douglas, a delightful, charming gentleman who serves as a journalist at a distinguished business in Los Angeles. Falling in love was astonishing before fidelity showed up blazing on them right after their father recognized the accuracy and came to search for them in North Carolina on Christmas Eve attempting to justify his former flaws towards his children. What will Emma expect to do once she perceives her father's arrival? Will she ever tolerate her father and be a fortunate family anew?

After having her heart broken by the boy she'd been in love with her whole life, Brimmy Somell decides to take a little...vacation. Little does she know, it turns out to be much more permanent than she had originally thought. After meeting tall, sexy, and mysterious Marcello Pietro, Brimmy finds herself having to make a life-changing decision and putting herself in a dangerous position she'd never imagined to be in. °•°●°•°●°•°●°•° "I love you." He says with no hesitation. It takes a moment for my hazy mind to catch up. I'm still in a daze, mesmerized by his perfections, and the deep dimple set in his cheek. I blink, "What?" "Don't make me say it again." He says, sounding frustrated, but I catch the hint of embarassment in his voice as he runs his hand through his hair and takes a step back. I grab a hold of the neckline to his shirt and yank him back within close proximity of me. "What if I want you to say it again?" I ask, studying his eyes. "Isn't it enough that I said it once?" He scowls, trying to pull back, but I restrain him from doing so. "Nope. Just say it one more time and I'll be satisfied." I state bravely, feeling a boost of confidence I didn't have earlier. He glances down, then looks back up into my eyes, allowing me to spot the vulnerability and uncertainty he feels. "I love you." He says, putting more strength in his voice than he looks to have. I grin, pulling him in for a kiss, but right before I do, I say the one phrase that will seal my fate, "I love you too, big, bad mafia boss." ••••• The story may be rough but the comment section makes up for it. ••••• Word count: 51,173 ••••• Written and published 2018-2019

⚠️ This is a true story, unfortunately. 🖤1st in a series ✅Completed I labeled this as teen "fiction" because my target age group usually thinks of self-help books or text books when they hear "non-fiction" and don't realize a memoir reads like any other fiction story. ☣️SYNOPSES: I'm finally over the embarrassment and ready to tell someone what happened. I wrote this to help anyone who might make the same mistakes i did; to stop them before it's too late. I thought I could cure my severe depression and anxiety on my own, during my senior year of high school. Instead, I : ✔️Developed a psychotic obsession with a sophomore ✔️Used a 12 yr. old child for a weekly therapist. ✔️Got accidentally addicted to drugs ✔️Became a stalker extraordinaire. ✔️Got myself into 2 fake relationship at once. ✔️Tricked the most popular guy in school, Kiwi (I'll explain the name) into doing my dirty work, pulling a Romeo and Juliet and ruining his life. You're invited to come laugh with me, cry with me, fall apart with me; it's no fun doing this by myself.

"I've never kissed anyone before," I say to him. "I want it to be special, and not with a complete stranger." Brianna Chen didn't have any plans to be wooed by Cole Emerson, her school's most popular guy, known for being the player of all of the females in the town's district. It doesn't matter how he was when they were kids...things change. But when drama class casts them as the two main leads, Brianna realizes that he hasn't changed much from who he used to be; He's still that goofy caring kid she remembered. But she's afraid...somehow she's still afraid to be disappointed by him again, to commit to something that will only bring pain later. Yet she can't turn away from him completely. One chance, Emerson. You have one chance. #1 in Production (thank you guys!) 5/1/19 1k reads 6/14/19 2k reads 8/10/19 3k reads 9/18/19 4k reads 10/26/19 5k reads 12/18/19 6k reads 1/25/20 7k reads 3/2/20 8k reads 4/4/20 9k reads 5/8/20 10k reads 6/4/20 11k reads 7/10/20 13k reads 9/10/20 14k reads 10/8/20 16k reads 12/25/20 17k reads 2/14/21 18k reads 4/6/21 20k reads 6/27/21 30k reads 9/2022
