Two different lives
One dream
------------------------
Clea is an eighteen year old girl. She's had a rough life. Her mom is always drunk and passed out on the couch. Her dad is never really home and when he is , there's a string of women entering and leaving the house with him. She had to get a job at the age of 14 to pay the bills, buy food, and keep her sister in school; because of this she never had time to make friends. She starts dreaming of this strange guy that she has never met before. After an unfortunate night she gets custody of her sister and moves across the country with the money she has been saving up.
///////////////////////
Gabriel is a nineteen year old guy. He lives a normal life. He has loving parents that take care of him.
He goes to school and has a handful of friends. He doesn't play a sport, he's not popular or rich, he doesn't have a girlfriend, and he doesn't have a troubling past. He's just, as some would put it...ordinary. Well as ordinary as one can be when they have the job he has. No one knows what job he has, only him. Lets just say his job is very risky. One night after a long night of hard work he starts dreaming of a girl he never met. He doesn't know her, so why is he dreaming of her? What do these dream mean? What does it mean when one day he's walking to school and he bumps into her? What does her sudden appearance in town mean for him? What does meeting the guy she's been dreaming of mean for Clea?

A Breath of Fresh Air
For 17-year-old high school senior Evan Brooks, life could be better. He's a social outcast at school, stuck in a rural Alabama small town he never wanted to move to, and he's got a secret he's desperately trying to keep: he's gay. When he embarks on a weekend vacation to the Florida panhandle with his hypermasculine brother, homophobic stepdad, and aloof mother, none of them can anticipate how much a simple 3-day trip will change their lives forever... **2025 Update: Hi! This was my very first attempt at crafting an entire story from scratch all the way back in 2020, and I'd like to think my writing has since improved. I've started working on a big rewrite project, so stay tuned for a newly enhanced story! Please visit the last chapter (2025 Rewrite Info/Updates) for more details. In the meantime, the original story will remain here in full - just know that I know some parts of it are cringe lol. I hope you still enjoy it though! :) Some details have changed between this story and Road to Rockdale in anticipation of the rewrite, so please excuse some inconsistencies if you're coming from that story. I promise everything will line up eventually! CONTENT WARNING/TRIGGERS: Please note that this story contains very strong language at times and some mature themes. Some characters face emotional abuse. There is also a small amount of physical abuse, but it is mostly implied apart from one scene which is not extremely graphic. Some characters are homophobic, and a slur is used a handful of times.Complete![Till my last breath [Completed ]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/101408006-256-k912070.jpg)
Till my last breath [Completed ]
Don't judge, try to know first. _________________________________ She is rude. He is polite and friendly. She is irritable. He is calm. People want to stay away from her. And he pushes people away from him. What happens when these two completely different persons become each other's company? __________________ _____________ "The more I'm trying to know you, Sid, the more I'm getting confused," I smirk, "I don't think that I can ever get you." "You better not to try," he says with a boyish grin. _ ___________________ ______ Knowing any boy's character never seemed that hard to her before, until she meets him. Getting any girl was never that hard for him, until he meets her. Both of them are not that what they show and both of them had bitter experiences in past what they don't want anyone to know. But what happens when their secrets get revealed. Will they still stay together? Or let each stay alone? [Hey people, let me tell you one thing - this story is a simple story. It doesn't contain any smuts or sexual stuff. So, if you're looking for that kind of story then don't read this. It's an innocent, clean, teenage love story, where my characters are not so good looking, not so special and not so popular. So, it's definitely not like the other teenage love stories you have read before, where the girl is described as an angel from heaven and the boy is described as a famous, handsome bad boy. I'm not insulting anybody, I just want to say that a girl doesn't need to be extremely pretty or a boy doesn't need to be insanely rich and popular to get love in their lives. "Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder." So, hope you're gonna appreciate my message and give my story a big thumbs up up. Please don't forget to hit the star button if u liked my story and u can also pm me if u find any mistake or you can tell me how to make it better.]Complete
There's Snow Place Like Home For The Holidays
Win Metawin skyrocketed in the entertainment industry during his first year of university. 15 years later he is a retired actor, model, and singer. Married for ten years with a 7-year-old daughter, he finds himself divorced and a single parent after his wife was caught in a string of public affairs. Heartbroken and trying to put the crumbs of his and his daughter's life back together, he decides to take a break from the cameras and media for the holiday season and takes his daughter to his childhood home that he hasn't set foot in since before he got married ten years prior. Bright Chivaaree left university his first year to take care of his sick mother. With no education he fought to provide for her for six years until she passed away from her illness. The bank seized there home and Bright was living in his car when Lita Iamkajorn found him and brought him home. With Lita's help Bright finished school and rebuilt his life, both of them leaning on each other as replacements for Bright's dead mother and Lita's estranged relationship from her son, Win. At 33 years old Win will come home this holiday season to repair the fences with his relationship with his mother, put the building blocks of his and his daughter's life back together, and unravel past misunderstandings and misconceptions of his old schoolmate Bright, all while trying to keep the holiday cheer turned up for his 7-year-old daughter. Will Win find the life he'd been waiting for all along back home? Or will his walls send him back to the only life he's know for the past 15 years? This is very Hallmark Christmas cheese, but I've never written a holiday fic and I wanted to try it. Story is mine, characters are based off of real people, but this in no way represents real events. It's an alternate universe and doesn't represent them in any way. Furthermore all pictures were taken from IG, Twitter, or Pinterest. They are not mine and credits go to the ones who took or drew the pictures. Thank you!Complete

Michael x Trevor - GTA V
***SPOILERS, READ AT YOUR OWN RISK*** ***YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED*** Like GTA V, this story contains swearing, violence, death, alcohol, drug usage, theft, ect. This story takes place after the first heist, right after Amanda leaves Micheal. I don't have any strong smut in this fanfiction, because I'm an innocent bean and just really bad at writing smut. This is more of a fluff/angst fanfiction. Some of the chapters take inspiration from Tumblr text posts because I'm trashy. I do not own the GTA franchise or Rockstar or any of the characters. I also didn't make the cover, all credits go to the original artist. I'll probably make a different cover when I get the chance... Published: September 12 - November 12 Edited: October 27 -Complete
