After waking up one too many times on the floor of her bathroom, Sara decides that it's time to put down the drink-for good. But how is she supposed to meet the love of her life (or the love for tonight) if she's spending every night in a church basement? Well, it doesn't take long for Sara to discover that there are cute guys in AA, too. The only problem is, just because you stop drinking, doesn't mean life magically gets better. In fact, sometimes it gets worse. WAY worse. And there's no amount of liquid courage that can help you through that.
Curious about what it's like when you stop drinking and start getting real? Real SOBER? Check out Sara's blog, "Sober in the City" for an inside look into the underbelly of sobriety. I can't promise it'll be pretty, but it will definitely be entertaining.

The Path To You
"Oh come on, you're like a genius and you've been studying so much I was starting to miss you." "Only starting?" I teased. "I don't do well without you Jet Plane." He smiled at me. "Trust me I know." - Nicholas Jetson knew who he was. At least he did until he met Connor O'Brian. Becoming friends with Connor changed everything, the guy was loud and probably an alcoholic but he was also funny and looked at Jetson in a way no one had ever looked at him before. But it didn't really matter how Connor looked at him because they were just friends and nothing more. Well besides that one drunken hookup that Jetson couldn't get out of his head. ⚠️content warnings: rape, grooming, mentions of suicide and suicidal thoughts, addiction, depression, drunk driving {book two in Crossing Lines series}Concluida
Maybe, There is a Happy Ending
"There were times of hardship when people forget the courage they need to keep fighting; and survive. But I think as long as we have something or someone to believe in, to keep close in our hearts, courage will never truly leave us. We only have to reach deep in our heart to find it." I never thought I was going to escape my abusive parents. I could no longer see that one light at the end of my tunnel. I was trapped, no way to escape. You would never believe that one trip to the New York Hospital could change my life drastically, and not in the way you guys are thinking. Not negatively, but positively. Thanks to my Doctor and his son, I could finally say goodbye to my dark past and say hello to my bright future involving a massive emotion... LOVE. So, Maybe... There is a Happy Ending.Concluida
Drunken Angel
(REWRITING AND EDITING) ************************************ Drunk and asleep in a bar, you wouldn't think that anything would happen. But, what if you wake up the next morning seeing the hottest guy ever standing before you. Even adding more to the unrealistic situation he is willing to give you a lift to your place? Of course you would say no, but if the guy is ridiculously hot and gorgeous just like an angel then there wouldn't be any doubts. And to add you are still a bit intoxicated. You would at that exact moment decide that he is your savior and your drunken angel. Well, at least I know I did think as such...Concluida
Evolution
There are a lot of things you don't really think about until they happen to you. Take rape, for instance. I always thought, "That won't happen to me. I have a boyfriend. I trust him. He would never take advantage of me like that..." I couldn't have been more wrong. Love in this day and age is often confused for manipulation and abuse. The warning signs are here. The things we say will tell us everything that is wrong. You are worth more than what you think you are. It's not your fault. If they tell you otherwise, get out. Burn the bridge. Always remember someone is waiting for you to walk into their life. Someone needs you. Someone loves you. Getting away from all of the wrong people and finding the right ones could save you. I can promise you right now that it saved me. These are the journal entries and selected poems from my first experience of love that left a unpleasant taste in my mouth- quite literally. I am putting this out for the whole world to see because I hope everyone will learn from my experience. People can see. We have no excuses to continue living our lives in ignorance. ...WARNING... HARMFUL THEMES INCLUDING MENTION OF SUICIDE, SELF HARM, AND RAPE. THIS HAS EXPLICIT CONTENT. RECOVERY AND AWARENESS IS THE PURPOSE OF SHARING. DO NOT READ IF THESE THEMES ARE OFFENSIVE OR HARMFUL TO YOU.Concluida

Connections | ✔️
[COMPLETE] Sorry this may be cringe, it was written very long ago A seemingly ordinary, working college girl meets a cool, undeniably sexy boy with millions of followers at his feet. How will their completely different lives allow, or prevent them from getting what they want? Expect some drama, flirty lines, steamy scenes, funny best friends, and perhaps, an overall epic love connection. ~ Carter came around the corner as his eyes darkened with a predatory gaze. Oh no. He took a step forward, minimalizing the distance with every dominating stride, as I froze in my spot. My breath hitched as his arms finally encircled my waist and his eyes locked with mine. In one swift motion, he flipped my body so my back was pressed against his chest and hands gripped the curve of my hips. "What game are you trying to play at Valerie?" he spoke in a husky voice. Goosebumps danced along my skin as his hot breath fanned against the shell of my ear and his fingertips lit a trail of blazing heat along the length of my arm. Mentally shaking myself from the trance of that which is Carter Bryson, I tilted my head towards him and whispered; "One where you'll lose." Quickly escaping his hold on me before the tension became unbearable, I spun on my heel to face him and slowly backed away towards the exit. "Good luck though." I added mischievously. With a smirk and a devilish glint in his eyes that could even give hell a run for its money, he replied; "I'm not a player though, baby. I'm the gamemaker." ~ ❗️Mature content.

❝Alia, I wanna try again. You and me. I've been thinking about you crazy and if we don't date I might just bust a gut.❞ ❝Well I don't want you to hurt yourself.❞ Alia smirked, leaning in. Alia Mendoza was Jesus's first real love-bright, artistic, and full of fire. But just as their connection began to deepen, Alia was abruptly pulled out of his life when her conservative parents forced her to move away, fearing her growing bond with the Foster family and Jesus's influence. What they didn't know was that the two never really stopped talking. For months, Jesus and Alia have secretly stayed in touch through late-night phone calls, private texts, and heartfelt video chats. So when Alia suddenly returns to town for her sophomore year-enrolling at Anchor Beach-Jesus sees it as their second chance. He's ready to pick up where they left off, only this time, he's determined to make it real: no more sneaking around, no more hiding. But love the second time around isn't so simple. Alia's home life is still tense, and her parents have strict expectations. Jesus is still recovering from his traumatic brain injury, struggling with impulse control, anger, and frustration-things he tries to hide from her. Mariana is suspicious, Stef and Lena are cautious, and Emma isn't exactly thrilled that Alia's back in the picture. As the past crashes into the present, Jesus and Alia must decide if their love can survive the complications that drove them apart in the first place. Can they build something lasting-or is this reunion just a beautiful mistake?Concluida
