Hold onto your teacups, lads. * * * How do you decide what's worth fighting for? While on a student exchange in Edinburgh, Scotland, writer Josephine Hughes takes a job at Starbucks to help pay her bills. It's a great job; she meets lots of new people and makes friends with her regulars. One in particular, however, has caught her eye. Louis Davidson is an Edinburgh native, a baker, and a student at the University of Edinburgh. Every morning at precisely 7:20 AM, he comes in and orders the same thing-but it quickly becomes apparent that Lou is not there for the coffee. Jo struggles with allowing herself to be vulnerable, hiding her name from Lou as a defense mechanism, and Lou pursues her relentlessly, hoping to eventually coax her out of her shell. Soon, however, they realize that Lou has deep-seated issues of his own. As Jo and Lou fight their own battles, they navigate the rough waters of relationship, seeking to answer one simple question: Is it worth it?

Reece Bremer goes through life with a scowl and cold personality. Jessica Andrews goes through life with a glowing smile and positive outlook. Reece looks at life with dull, judgmental eyes that make him hate the world and the people living in it. Jessica, well... She looks at life through a camera. Literally. They're polar opposites, and that's what sparks Reece's immediate hate for Jessica the moment they meet. All he sees is a girl with the best life, put in the category of those who get everything handed to them on a silver platter. But who says Jessica's life is like that? Just like a photograph, there's more to the story than what you see. Stumbling across one of Jessica's hidden portfolio might reveal that her happiness isn't all that true. Behind that smile and each picture she takes, holds a thousand words of a very big secret - one that Reece is determined to find out. And who knows? It just might change everything between them. cover by dysanic || 2015 watty's winner for talk of the town ||

A/N: This is an unedited, significantly different version of the soon to be published novel by losangelesque aka L. Akhter. This draft was written when I was 15-18 years old and I highly encourage new readers to read the published version instead. Former high school football star Frank Novak meets profound and depressed loner Lolita Abri - and falls headfirst into love. Throughout the course of one school year, they unravel each other and their sadness, setting apart their differences and realizing that sometimes love isn't enough - and sometimes it just might be.

When the quiet girl in Clayton Hugh's chemistry class comes knocking on his door at five in the morning barely covered up in her little pajamas, inattentive, and drooling like crazy, he has no choice but to take her inside. But once Lucy Walker wakes up inside a room she has never seen before wearing an over-sized t-shirt and gym shorts, you can imagine the pure panic setting in her. The subtle addition of Clayton entering the room shirtless doesn't help much either. After three years of fawning over him, leave it up to her sleepwalking to finally get Clayton Hugh to notice her.
