Ever since Riley Hope was 4 years old, all she's ever dreamed about is dancing and making music. It was how she could really express herself. Until a fatal accident one day and took away her creative side.
Now Riley focuses on getting good grades, playing volleyball, being student body president and working as a waitress at Tatiana's 80's Diner just to keep herself busy. Riley may not dance herself anymore, but she absolutely loves teaching kids and seeing their faces light up. Every time Riley is alone and gets the urge to dance again, she holds back, knowing it'll bring up too many unwanted memories. 

Then enters Ryder O'Conner. Baseball player, musician with the famous parents that everyone can't stop talking about. The parents that are never around. Ryder wants to be known for his accomplishments, praised for his hard work. He just wants to be normal but normal is so overrated apparently. 

When these two finally meet, they soon realize that the only people holding them back is themselves. And through spending time together, they finally get back what they've been missing. They discover adventure, friendship, and the people they truly want to be.All Rights Reserved

Don't give up // justin bieber by xHemmohugs

Riley is that kind of girl that doesn't give a fuck about school or about what others think, that loves to do her own thing and that always gets in trouble. But that all changes when she's forced to work at the local children hospital. At first she doesn't like it at all. She thinks it's boring. Until she meets Justin, a 16 year old boy who's been in a coma for almost a year. He has no one left. Everything he ever had is gone. No one believes in him anymore. They don't think he'll wake up. But for some reason Riley believes in him. She doesn't give up on him. Riley has never cared about anyone, yet she cares about that cute 16 year old boy who she just met. "Why didn't you give up on me when everyone else did? Why do you care about me when no one else does? Why did you believe in me when no one else did?" I sighed and looked into his eyes. "Because everyone deserves to live no matter what. Everyone deserves someone who cares about them. Everyone deserves to be loved. That's why, Justin." *Completed* *Not edited*

Now, life starts getting a little more interesting.

I Punched The Bad Boy by Far_Away_From_Stars

Theania Ryans has a temper. She will knock the living daylights out of someone if she has to. But, in all honesty, she is a softy. She is also the nerd with a dark past. Correction. She WAS the nerd. Will her new bad girl, with a hint of good girl, persona spill her secrets? What would happen if someone were to find out her past? Wait, rephrase that. What would happen if the Bad Boy found out about her past? ------------------------------ Ryder Connel is the cliché bad boy of the school. It's all wrong, though. He hides his sensitive side from the unknown...his passion for art. Art was his escape. That is, until his mom abandoned him. Since then, he never touched a canvas. He never touched a paint brush. He turned to alcohol and girls for his release. He would do what his mom did to him. He would lead girls on and then leave them. Then he meets Theania Ryans. The girl with broken eyes. The girl with a broken smile. The girl with a broken heart. Will he put her back together? Or, will she fix herself? ---------------------------------------------------- This is my first book. All these characters are fiction, not real. They do not relate to me or anything that has happened to me. I repeat, it does not relate to me at all!

Her Brother's Best Friend - Aching Hearts Series #2 by TheWritingWolf1

If asked, baby Emily Robinson would have gleefully said that, her life revolved around two cornerstones: volleyball, Riley. Volleyball was the passion that gave her life. Riley was the "special friend" that fueled said passion and offered an otherwise insecure, shy little girl the means to grow up strong, confident, badass. Professional volleyball was a dream close to becoming true. Riley was reality. The most reassuring one. If asked, Emily would have said, she could not live without those two. That's why when, in a matter of months, she loses both, Emily's life starts spiraling down. The self consciousness about her looks goes from easily containable to fullout war waging deep inside her, menacing to bring her down any minute. So when, four years later, Riley comes back, he finds that his cutely shy Honeybee has turned into a beautiful quasi woman that is inexplicably paralyzed by fears. How can he help her regain the strength she had? And what happens when he starts realizing that indeed, his Honeybee is no longer a child, she's become a dangerously attractive girl. How can he help her fight her demons, without letting his mind and heart stray? He can't fall for the same child he used to babysit ... or can he? Highest rank #14 in General Fiction (04/08/2017)
