TULSA, OKLAHOMA; 1966
" just because i let you go, doesn't mean i wanted to. "
" but we won't forget each other right? "
" maybe our paths will cross again. "
" then i'll tell you how desperately in love i was."
where a simple girl and a rough boy
find themselves in love,
the type of love people like them wouldn't expect,
but young teenagers find out that sometimes,
life isn't fair, and people come and go
so they are forced to see,
if their love can last the test of time,
and if they don't forget in the meantime.

Scars | Johnny Cade Fanfic
Candace Trumen (Mostly called Tru) has spent her whole life living in Tulsa, Oklahoma. When her mom died of cancer, and her father turns to alcohol for answers, Tru's 7 friends are there to help her along the way, ultimately leading her to the love of her life. This is a coming of age story. It shows character development, the difficulty of scars, past trauma, and a lot more, but touched a bit lighter. I absolutely HATE those fanfics that make Johnny's whole personality an innocent bean, or make Steve nothing but a car guy. These characters are worth so much more, so in this story- that's what they are gonna be! Like it or not! (I'M HORRIBLE WITH DESCRIPTIONS BUT PLEASE GIVE ME A CHANCE)Complete

Can You Keep A Secret? (The Outsiders Fan Fiction)
"You lied to me," He insinuated. I felt my heart leap to my throat, this can't be happening. "It was a mistake, everyone makes mistakes," my voice dropped. "Yes, but you make more than most people." "I-" "You hurt me; you worry everyone, everyone you get close to you hurt. Ever since Ma and Pa died you've been nothing but inconsiderate to everyone else. You hurt all of us with your lies." "Not on purpose," I whispered, "I never wanted to hurt you, I only wanted to-" Soda put his hands up to silence me. "Rosey-" "Please don't do this, Soda, I care about him."
