Is this really happening? Why would I take this risk? Why can't I breathe?
"Because he's good. He isn't like HIM, he would never hurt you. He's the light, the good." A voice answered the questions in my head.
He leaned in, his light-blue eyes holding me in a trance, me unable to break the gaze we held.  Something in his eyes flickered, his body growing more tense by the second.

Willow Nirabla, a 15 year-old girl, has learned one important lesson, trust is given and taken, so choose wisely. Growing up with an abusive father, both physically and sexually, has traumatized her. She had no choice but to call Child Services and run away. Being put in foster homes was the opposite of what she wanted, but she was away from HIM. This meant new things... freedom, relief, new beginnings, happiness... or so she thought. 

Mason Carnagie, a 17 year-old boy, was the boy who every girl couldn't stay away from. Cliche, right? Well it's the truth, he could never say no, and he was out of control. Also experienced with foster families, his best friend is the new foster brother of Willow. Unable to keep himself away, he wanted to know what she was like, to know her, to at least see if she was different.

"He seemed like a puzzle to me, and I really liked solving puzzles. But somehow, I don't think that I would ever be able to solve this one." Amelia Heart, with her large smile and her infectious laugh, is what most people would think has the perfect life. They would watch as she went back to her beach house, as she went out of her way to stop and chat to her neighbours, as she would get the perfect grades. She was everything you wanted to be, and yet nobody had gotten close enough to her to understand her life in this small town at all. When her plans of leaving suddenly change, and she is forced to start attending the local school, her life takes a route that she hadn't accounted for. A new group of friends, a chance at a normal teenage life, even a potential love interest - things that Amelia had never even thought about happening after everything she'd been through. But happiness is only temporary in her life, and she knew that. It wasn't surprising to her when her past began to catch up with her present, it was simply a good thing that it had taken as long as it had. Things start happening in Amelia's life that simply don't make sense, even to her. They do say you should always keep an eye over your shoulder, especially when you know you're being hunted, but for Amelia, even an eye in every direction wouldn't be enough. Time begins counting down, fast. Did she want to involve her friends? Could the new people in her life be trusted? She wouldn't have long to make a decision. Not before her world comes blazing down, the final battle on the horizon. Tick, tock, Amelia. You don't want to be late to the party when you're the guest of honour. COMPLETED 06/11/20
WHERE WINTER BLOOMS by F_Laleska_CC
15 parts Ongoing
Sometimes, first love isn't a person. It's the first time someone truly sees you. Nathan sings in silence. No one knows he does. No one asks why he stopped shining. Ryan pretends he's fine. No one notices he's breaking inside. A paper plane connects them. An empty theater listens. And in the middle of the world's noise, two boys find in music a language more honest than words. But growing up hurts. Loving hurts more. And the fear of disappointing those who should protect you can be louder than any melody. This story is for those who've ever felt like they didn't belong. For those who carry invisible wounds and still dare to dream. For those who know that love doesn't always shout... sometimes, it just sings.

As a result of the tragic death of her father; Heaven Foster's life has mouldered into a exasperating cycle of moving from one home to another. Consequently, not staying in a house for more than a year means having to move schools more times than a typical seventeen year old girl should. Heaven is used to blending in with the crowd, so that she can be unnoticed by people, but being unnoticed while you're the new student of Lakeswood high school is not that easy. Let's just say that stumbling across a certain group of bad boys enumerates to the trouble, including crashing- literally into the most feared one of them all. Dominant. Menacing. Mysterious. Unpredictable. Cold. Blake Martinez. ******************************************************** MUST READ Just now I have come onto this app again to check it out, and I am overwhelmed with all your kind messages and wishes for me to update! I began writing this book when I was very young and only a couple years later, I had stumbled across this app again and decided to look at what I created. In my spare time, i decided to edit as much as I could and began to write new chapters. Writing was a little hobby of mine, something that I didn't take seriously as I only wrote for fun. I definitely didn't think that my book would get this many readers!! Thank you to all of you who genuinely took time to read my book. I deeply apologise for keeping you all waiting, and left wondering if I was going ahead with this story or not. Sadly, to all of my readers who was looking forward to reading more of my story. I am sorry to say that I will not be working on this book anymore. Perhaps in the later future Heaven and Blake will make an epic return! However, as of now, their love story remains how it is. Thank you!

"Get in" comes out his voice, and I must've stood there agape for a few moments because next comes his rhetorical question. "Are you getting in or continuing walking in the rain?"
