Where a naive girl with lots of baggage and a rockstar that can't seem to think of anyone but himself fall in love over the span of 24 hours

Warning: for eventual mature content...there WILL be sexy time. By request - AU: Isaac "Old Man" Hanson's not married in this Anthem-era Hanfic (sorry, Nikki). He's been doing some soul searching and reading heavily for the Grace Unknown podcast when he meets Emily, an opinionated woman who works at the local Tulsa bookshop while attending college to become an educator. Perhaps she can help Isaac attain some enlightenment; that is if her manager, Jerry, would stop hovering over her. Will Isaac finally get the girl, Emily finally find her intellectual equal, and Jerry get some gentlemanly manners? Let's find out and start to face the blank page. First fanfic EVER shared. Feedback is welcome in the form of constructive criticism or overwhelming approval. You know, to feed my underdeveloped ego.

There are moments when you think life is going one way and a major curveball sends you the complete opposite direction. That's me, standing in the rain, wondering how things went so terribly wrong. What do I need? To hide at my brother's house to lick my wounds. What do I get? My brother's roommate, sexy-as-sin best friend, Carter Kennedy. The cute, adventurous boy who was my teenage crush. The inspiring, irresistible man who will never be mine. But then things get complicated with fun-filled days and pleasure-filled nights. If Carter wasn't the most commitment-phobic person I know, I could consider the cliché of dating my brother's best friend. But he will never fit the husband checklist I made to find the man who will be my world, and I'm not willing to compromise on that. At least, that's the plan.

It started with one I wrote for an English assignment but then I decided to turn it into an extended project. I hope you enjoy! They are in no particular order.

Mave was a regular school girl. She had friends, a family that loved her and was relatively popular at school. Never did she ever think that what happened next would. Jayden was always just another boy in her class. That was until she caught him singing and playing bass in the music room. She loved the sound of his voice. Then, he started a band called With Confidence. She would always be in the front row of every one of their shows. After a while, Jayden started to notice. They started talking online before talking in real life. It wasn't too long into the friendship that she realised that she may just have the world's biggest crush on Jayden Seeley.

No one saw it coming.

a walk in the park: (informal) 1. Something that is very easy to do, and usually pleasant. "Love shouldn't be hard, right? It should be a walk in the park; effortless. But this is hard for me." MJ is an ordinary soon-to-be college graduate, who has a thing for Calum, the hot guy he accidentally on purpose happens to see running at the park every night. But he doesn't have the nerve to talk to him. When a squirrel, dog, and fate intervene, MJ is determined to keep Calum in his life one way or another, even if it means not telling the whole truth. But what he finds out is that he's not the only one with a secret. ----------- *Please be aware that this story contains mature content and a few references to suicide/SI, and physical/mental abuse.* Side note: You absolutely don't have to be familiar with 5SOS or any of it's members to enjoy this story, as this is an AU story and not about the band at all. Fanfic readers were (still are?) my audience at the time of writing, so that's why they were used as characters.
