Amara Kingsley has known only one thing her entire life: peace.
She has everything a girl could ever want, any and all of her problems whisked away under the marvelous tip of her paint brush. 
She has a gift.
That's why she is sent to England to study art and photography, which has been her dream since the second grade. Soon, though, Amara learns that dreams aren't as amazing and perfect as they seem. 
This move triggers an unstoppable downward spiral in her life, a torrent of suffering and pain that no paintbrush can sweep away. To make matters worse, she is unable to rely on her grief stricken mother or any of her shallow new friends. 

All hope is lost.
It would just be better to die.

But then...

Two people enter her life and change it for the better. They give her something that she could never find anywhere else.

Hope.

A reason to live.

She will never be the same.All Rights Reserved

Raindrop by XxEmmma98xX

"I met Amara Rowe the week she started school here. She watched as an old friend stuffed her face with marshmallows. She left after looking lost, so I followed her. She was by a trash can looking... frustrated. She threw away a paper and I picked it out of the trash can after she left.... it was a list. Now it wasn't an ordinary list, no, it was a bucket list, with 10 things written on it. And at the top of the list was, make a friend. And the rest of the list looked... simple. She was simple. At the bottom of the list it said, die happy. And at the time I didn't understand, I didn't think much of it. I thought that maybe she was still adding to it and it wasn't in any specific order. But I wanted to help her do everything on that list. I couldn't help her if I wasn't her friend so that is what I did first." * Amara has a health issue that no other students know about. It's her secret and she will only talk about it if she believes you can handle it. Will her new friend, Clay, be able to handle her secret? Or will Amara have to handle his secret? Three secrets. Two teens. One truth.

Alone: In the City that Never Sleeps **COMPLETED** by kendyllink23

It wasn't supposed to be like this. I was supposed to win the Junior Project, go to college, get married. Not be here, running in a place that is a bigger mystery to me then I am to anybody. I'm supposed to be home and happy, just a normal 17 year old. But that's not how it is. Perhaps if I close my eyes, I'll be back home, safe and sound from the rest of this harsh world.... Amara Rhodes has done something. Or at least, everything thinks she has. The evidence is too predictable, and the guilt is too overwhelming for her to handle, and she has to escape. When she does, she's forced to face what really happened on that night, even if it means consequences. New Description!! Hope you like. New chapter every Tuesday & Friday's. Please vote, follow, comment, and tell your friends!! Thank y'all so much! Xoxo, Kendyllink23

For Every Missing Shade by Israel_Taylor

Israel Taylor knows the world is a mess. In fact, it's all he can think about. As an avid artist, he imagines life as a black-and-white landscape, waiting to be painted. He uses a metaphor of color to describe everything he wishes the world was, but he can't help but feel stuck in the ocean of apathy high school life has become for him. His first drop of paint comes in the form of a girl named Emma McKenzie. They fall in love as she shows him just how much color the world can hold. But, seeing color means seeing the full spectrum, and Israel soon learns that though there are colors more beautiful than grey, there are also colors that feel darker than black. For Every Missing Shade is a blunt, funny, and intense digression into how the human spirit can create something beautiful even as beauty seems absent. Told in diary format through Israel's thoughts, dream sequences, and short stories, For Every Missing Shade is a new reminder that the world is not beautiful in spite of broken people. The world is beautiful because of broken people. I initially wrote this as a short story for my creative writing class my senior year of high school. It was supposed to represent the two seemingly irreconcilable parts of my personality making peace with each other. Becoming something greater together. But, as I wrote this story, it grew and shifted into something bigger. It became a place for me to put everything I felt, realized, explored, and cried about during my high school and college life. I don't want to spoil too much of the plot. Just know it's about a boy and a girl. A boy who was obsessed with creating a world that could finally cater to the oddity he felt he was. A girl who taught him just how much he'd been missing in life by trying to control it. And a life that showed how much it could give and how much it could take.
