august beach club england guitar jam music seaside summer ya

Fran has a tried-and-tested solution for dealing with her problems: run away. 

And despite what the self-help books say, it's worked pretty well up until now. "Now" referring to her hiding in the seaside town of Seacombe until the end of summer, and ignoring her rocky relationship with her mother until she leaves for university. She likes to think the combination of the fresh sea air, being 50 miles away from home and the guitar she uses to drown her sorrows with will help calm her nerves. 
But her problems always catch up to her eventually, and Fran is about to learn that she can only run for so long...

Jesse's Girl (COMPLETE) by xHeatLifex

They had both been dealt enough tragedy in their short teenaged lives, more than anyone should ever have to endure. Will two self destructive teens coming together do more harm than good? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I don't know what came over me. The poor guy just asked if he could help and I went all 'crazy psycho bitch' on his ass. I couldn't breath. I needed water. I needed air. Fuck why was is it so hot in here. Was it the fact that the moment his hand left my skin I felt an unbearable need to feel his touch again or was it hearing him ask if I needed help that made me feel helpless and broken once again. I didn't know what it was but I felt like I was suffocating, like the jersey I was wearing was strangling every ounce of oxygen from body. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * This story had been reviewed recently. There are now added scenes and further edits - 2024 *

One Last Thing ✅ by jaxharlow

From childhood, Lil's life has been a nightmare. Her mother tried drowning her in the bath as a baby. As a result, she deals with depression and anxiety. When her boyfriend breaks up with her, she decides to get behind the wheel and is tempted to text him one last thing. Imagine her horror when she smashes into another car, the driver someone very close to her. Will she end up like her mom in prison? Will she let despair and guilt drag her back into darkness or will she find hope for a future, as hard as it may be? This is a book I wrote a few years ago before I found Wattpad. I never got a lot of feedback on it, so I appreciate you even taking a look and giving a few comments. You guys are rockstars. Thanks for reading!

Sanditon Melodies by dejong679

Sidney's train to Sanditon is delayed, and when it finally arrives, he is annoyed to find his reserved seat occupied. Who is this girl that has stolen his seat? And what is it about her that he finds so intriguing? Can he open himself up to the possibility of love again? A modern AU loosely based on the Sanditon story set within the context of the music industry (fans of Nashville may appreciate this too). It will contain all our favourite Sanditon characters, but will primarily be focused on Sidlotte. I can also promise a HEA - it just may take a while to get there! This story includes some original songs which can be listened to on YouTube: "Out There" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ee3D42_H2qY (Chapter 15) "Dreaming" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhkBkChNiwE (Chapter 25) "Contradictions" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cbv-2GpK-Qo (Chapter 31) "Falling" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIsBTYfWo3U (Chapter 40)

Drowning Beneath The Waves by PlattenumSwiftie9685

(Book #2 in the Family Ties Series) "Some days, I feel everything at once. Other days, I feel nothing at all. I don't know what's worse: drowning beneath the waves, or dying of thirst." At this point in her life, the above quote basically sums up Faye Mercer. After being diagnosed with depression two years ago, it's all she can do to keep a smile on her face, keep being positive and happy. The demons of her past have kept her beneath the waves for months now, hardly allowing her to breathe. From nightmares to insomnia, she can't seem to catch a break. Her reputation as a Siren has thrust her into a spotlight for which she wasn't prepared; to say nothing of her PTSD associated with said reputation. Her parents and brother are doing their best to carry on as normal as possible, but even they have tough days. If it wasn't for Waverly, she probably wouldn't be able to get out of bed. It all comes to a head one day when she receives a letter inviting her to a special 'for Sirens only' concert. She hasn't used her voice in years, hasn't even allowed herself to even entertain the thought. Will she be able to keep her head above water, or will she find herself flailing, drowning all over again? Read to find out.
