*** THIS IS THE SEQUEL TO "ALL TOO WELL" *** "You destroyed her," he shouted before he covered his face with both of his hands. I nodded slowly while closing my eyes for a brief moment. "That's right. I did. I destroyed her and guess what? That destroyed me even more." "You broke a perfectly good heart," he stated the obvious. "And that broke me completely." - What if someone truly loved you despite everything you put them through? What if someone was there for you during your darkest times? What if someone would've taken a bullet for you? And what if you were the one pulling the trigger? What if you were the one who destroyed them, broke them, hurt them? How would you be able to deal with that? How would you be able to deal with the fact that you didn't just ruin someone else's life, but also made them lose who they were before you?

"Some things are too strange and strong to be coincidences" - Emery Allen A year has passed and Isla is packing up, ready to head for college and pursue her new dreams. Her first year, she wants to do everything and experience everything: the drinking, the parties and most importantly the boys. Of course, she hasn't forgotten that Jared's already a student at her college. But this year they've decided to make a pact: stay friends. Just friends - no matter what happens. Help each other with their assignments, introduce each other to their hot, single roommates and under no circumstances fall for each other again. But it's becoming increasingly harder to follow the rules of their pact and frankly, they don't care anymore.

"The most important things are the hardest to say." - Stephen King Isla West lives a pretty normal life: average grades, cool friends and a future mapped out ahead of her that's she's been dreaming of ever since she was a little girl. But all of that is shattered when Jared Kennedy moves in next door. Jared and Isla have a history, one she'd rather not remember. But that is impossible to do when he is giving her rides to and from school and showing up wherever she happens to be. Not to mention, he is unintentionally resurfacing past memories she'd wanted to forget about and bottle up. Isla knows he's bad for her but there's something about him and she can't keep herself from falling - again. { Cover made by the worldgirlalways }

Victoria Harris is a bull. Not literally, of course. But she's pretty true to what her zodiac sign says about her. She's stubborn as hell, sarcastic and witty, and is perfectly fine with being on her own. Using guys as a way to pass the time and avoiding romance at all costs is how she functions. She doesn't date and she's determined to keep it that way. But isn't there always one boy that thinks he can change the stubborn girl? This is not a story of love. This is a story of broken boy meets broken girl, as they try to safety pin the pieces of their broken hearts back together. Maybe this time, two wrongs can make it right.

"Who made you be this way?" he asked curiously as he focused on me intensely. I scoffed, "The devil in disguise did. He burned me in hell." "Is he the reason for those scars on your arms and wrists too?" his voice came out so low, which caused me to pull the sleeves of my sweater further down. "He was. Besides, those are not scars, they are battle wounds." I sucked a deep breath in. "A battle with whom?" his eyes were filled with concern and I had to avert my gaze from his to the glass of water in front of me. "Myself." - Imagine falling so deep in love that you eventually lose yourself. Imagine falling so deep that you're scared you might never be able to forget him and all the pain, heartache and sadness he put you through. Imagine falling so deep that you find yourself crying your heart and lungs out on the cold bathroom floor in the middle of the night just hopelessly screaming and begging to get over him. highest rank: #30 in Teen Fiction [02/19/2017] Sequel: TIME WILL TELL ♡

"This is a story about our love. An intoxicating, fast-paced love that didn't think of time as a source of measurement over the course of a summer that changed my life forever. "A love that resembled a firework. It went up with a bang - outbursts of colors, sounds and emotion - but only out with a short fizzle. An outline of smoke, with the ashes on the ground as the only telltale sign that we actually had something." ~~~~~~~~~~ « further description inside » #2 IN YOUNG ADULT (2/20/20) #6 IN #SUMMER (4/8/19) #93 IN TEEN FICTION (3/25/18) #97 IN TEEN FICTION (3/22/18) #263 IN TEEN FICTION (3/6/18) #647 IN TEEN FICTION (2/23/18) #674 IN TEEN FICTION (2/20/18) #853 IN TEEN FICTION (2/18/18) (An Ex-Featured Wattpad Pick)
