"Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall. All the king's horses and all the king's men, couldn't put Humpty together again." And so it begins. Second-in-command to the queen bee Chloe Collins, Erin Sanders seems to have it all: The looks, the wits, almost the entire student body falling down on her feet, and the attitude-or so she thought. In comes Chloe and Erin's alternate-and rivalry-duo: The devastatingly handsome, athletic and rebellious Kent O'Conell and Jason Matthews. Chloe hated Kent ever since he insulted her bright yellow dress by saying that it looked like someone had vomited on her-on the first day of kindergarten. So it's only practical that Erin hated Jason as well. But what happens when one day, Chloe and Kent shockingly announces to the whole student body about their secret relationship-all of which Erin never knew about. Forced to seek refuge to the only other person who's been left out cold by this secret, Erin and Jason work together to get to the bottom of their best friends' mystery, and may end up tearing down their own reputations in the process. Historical field trips. Spying at the carnival. One very big exploding burrito. Secret classroom meetings. And two very, very stubborn teenagers who will stop at nothing to get everything back to normal-but is normal even worth it? Because when Humpty Dumpty thought that he could climb the wall, he fell. And with these two, it's only a matter of time before they all fall down.

"Close your eyes." he croaked, I did as I was told without any disobedience. "Have you any idea how badly I want to kiss you right now?" I shook my head in reply. "Badly, so fucking badly." he whispered as his harsh breath fanned across my cheek. Dark haired and tattooed, Xavier looked like the ultimate bad boy...but weren't bad boys meant to have that boyish charm? The thing is, Xavier was extremely guarded, hot headed and quite frankly, scary. In fact, Xavier was many things but romantic and loving wasn't two of them. He was a building half built, a puzzle with half of the pieces missing... Until he met me. Warning: Bad language (lots of). A possessive delinquent that is guaranteed to make you smile (or cry.)

Sometimes all you really need is a place to call home. *** Claire is lost and scared and utterly alone. Her family is in shambles after the death of her older sister Ina, and she's left to pick up the broken pieces of herself as her life heads into a downwards spiral of loneliness. Her heart leads her to 5:48, a little cafe by 33rd street, where she finds her new home. With a broken heart and a speech disability, Jasper has his heart and mouth sewn shut by the winding threads of hurt and fear. Painting and serving coffee in cafe 5:48 are one of his last few saving graces, but the smile he's been painting on himself will soon fade away as everything he's ever held dear slips away from his grasp. Ezra is out-of-sync and oddly cold by the way life has treated his young self. Abandoned by his single mother at an early age, he has grown up thinking that he is a mistake. His constant shaking hands are a reflection of what he often thinks of himself, but the delightful pastries he bakes for 5:48's customers are a reflection of what others see of him. Drew is a quirky rarity. He is a dash of loud, a pinch of exuberant, and a cup of eccentric - just like the meals he serves in the cafe as the only chef there. Behind his playful grins and outlandish clothes, however, are his jutting ribs, hollowed cheeks, and too-thin arms. Sometimes he cannot stomach being in his own skin as much as he cannot stomach food. This family has gone a long way from finding each other, and they'll be going a long way together too as reality comes catching up to them, threatening the newfound happiness they've found with each other. Secrets are revealed, pasts become presents, and lives are changed. Slowly but surely, they find their way back home. *** NOTE AS OF 08/2026: This is the old version of the story from 2012, posted in FULL.
