You're Lauren Jauregui. You danced the part of Clara in The Nutcracker for the first time when you were thirteen years old. You've already done two winter seasons of Swan Lake even though you're only sixteen. You've topped all of your classes since the moment you started them. For fuck's sake, you didn't even have to audition for the Fonteyn Academy for Classical and Contemporary Ballet, that's how good you are. - and no one, not even this girl that dances barefoot to Italian music, is going to take it away from you. // "I'm not into girls." "I'm not into you." // 'una somma di piccolo cose' - niccolò fabi

~The SEQUEL to 'Alex's Girl' is finally here~ It has been seven years since the events of 'Alex's Girl', where Alexis Sterling loved then lost Valerie Greco, a troubled but selfless young woman who managed to sneak her way into Alex's heart when she wasn't looking. Though Alex still misses Val every day, she has tried to move on with her life. She has become an emergency room doctor, she's moved into a beautiful new home, and she's even made some new friends. She also spends a lot of her time witnessing firsthand the ripple effect her actions seven years ago have caused her beloved city, with mob violence growing increasingly out of control and the hospitals quickly filling to capacity with more and more victims. Tensions are high as the Costa crime family are more powerful than they have ever been before, bringing the city to its very knees. And to make matters worse, Alex has unwittingly befriended the daughter of her most hated enemy, Ciro Costa, the man responsible for Val's death. The Grecos, on the other hand, have been laying low the last seven years, their illegal operations mostly cloaked in shadows... that is... until now. The Grecos are back, and they're back with a vengeance that demands blood. Their sudden comeback as a powerhouse crime family has Alex asking, how? Or perhaps the question she should be asking is, who?

Kaye, is what some people would call, a player. To her, all she was doing was giving cheerleaders a piece of the humble pie they all needed. Everywhere she goes, there's a trail of emotionally unstable cheerleaders, all thanks to her irresistible charms and her mission to break every single cheerleader she encountered. When she moved from London to the sunny California, where more prospects were bound to arise, she saw it as a test, to do more damage to cheerleaders than she has ever done before, to make them feel just even inkling of what she had to go through. Little did she know, her mission would come to a halt, for an even bigger mission she could not ignore. A mission she would have never seen herself doing, or even thinking about, until she met 'her'. Ashley, despite being popular, rich and the head of the state champions cheer-leading team 'cherries', is probably the most humble and level headed person you will ever meet in San Antonio high school. But someone has started to get under her skin, and she finds herself doing and saying things she might have never done if they hadn't met in the first place. Follow Kaye and Ashley in their journey of finding hate for each other. However, there is a fine line between love and hate, so who's to say it's a journey of hate, and not love.

She was different. She didn’t fit in with the rest of us with her pale white skin that made her appearance more pronounce and eerily beautiful or those strange mismatched eyes of hers that seemed as if it seen too much. Each time I saw her, she was often alone either sitting on the bench underneath the weeping willow tree reading a book or always around that petite girl who seemed fragile next to her. I don’t know what is it with this particular girl who never once sported a smile but always with that hard expression that intrigued me. Mesmerized with the way she moved stealthily through the halls, I knew this little fascination I had of her was going to get me into serious deep trouble. The question was…how deep will my grave be to seek that trouble of fascination? © Copyright 2014 All Rights Reserved

(Short Story) They were different. Entirely different with no common interests whatsoever. One enjoyed living among other night owls relishing the beauty of city lights and secret getaways from the real world while the other sung with the morning birds and found peace in the day.

In that moment and for the first time ever, the moon and the sun finally arose together. But how long will this last when their different worlds come clashing together with dark secrets and a broken soul too fragile for repair. The moon can only watch the beauty of the sun as it sets. How upsetting it is for the moon to not see the beauty the sun sees every time the moon fades…

Lucia Day hated stereotypes. People who looked at her would immediately believe she was a dimwitted blonde who comes from a high paying family and had dreams of marrying a hot, rich guy and live the luxury life. But that wasn't her at all...well only one part was true. Lucia was rich but she didn't let her parents' income define her. She wasn't a dumb blonde and she never had dreams of marrying a rich douchebag. With assumptions about her life and wealth skyrocketing, she had enough. The only way she could break through that cliché was to show everyone who she really was by auditioning in the town's roller derby team. Lucia never expected that doing so would cause old friendships to end, derby players’ hatred towards her wealthy lifestyle to rise, and a hockey player’s consistent teasing and taunts awaken something within her. Everyone thought Barbies can't skate but this Barbie can and she sure as hell is motivated to leave everyone eat her dust. ‘These bruises? They’re my badges of being a bad ass.’ ‘Bad ass? No, sweetie, you have a great ass.’

Who knew stealing a valuable object from an insane tweaking drug dealer would rekindle an old relationship? Certainly not Sage Matthews, that’s who.

Nothing but reopening scars and arguments beginning to arise of course until an overbearing drug dealer burst through the front door threatening Sage at gun point and demanding her of the location of ‘Molly’.

With the drug dealer chasing after Flor, Sage must come to a decision whether to help her old flame or let her run around until she falls into the crazed man who demands for ‘Molly‘. Can Sage forget the past and help Flor in taking the antique elephant to a man who’s offering $150,000 dollars for it or would she close the door on Flor and let the past be the past?

And what Flor wants is Sage and her forgiveness for leaving her but can Sage ever forgive the woman who left her at the alter or would she close the door to her past and move on? © Copyright 2015 All Rights Reserved
