Tragedy and trauma cause those suffering to lead very different lives in the aftermath, and for Teegan Bailey it meant moving across the country to try and live a normal life.
Growing up in Olympia, Washington, she decides to go to Fort Lauderdale, Florida to live with her aunt and cousin for a year, while also interning at the local hospital. With her cousin's help, she's able to meet an amazing group of friends and she begins to finally feel normal.
That is until Asher Grey, football star and "it" guy, gets hurt in one of the last football games of the season. He's always calm, cool, and collected until he's surrounded by medical professionals, which makes him incredibly nervous. Except for one.
Teegan gets assigned to caring for him while his parents are away, and as they spend more time together, Asher continues to dig into her past, making Teegan fear he'll figure out her true reasoning for moving to Florida.
Will Teegan be able to get the normal life she's striving for? Or will her past catch up to her and jeopardize everything?

Her Mysterious Ways
Cole the Not So Stereotypical Jock Being the most popular guy that girls all want to be with and all guys want to be should make you feel on top of the world, right?

She isn't the favorite girl of the school, not to mention his friends, and she doesn't show any interest towards him, but he has to try. The girl with the mysterious ways has got him wrapped around her scarred little finger. Not Andy Being the girl with no friends is never easy- especially when you have major trust issues and problems that can only be discussed with a shrink. That's why instead of slowly letting people into her life, she chose to shut them out completely. It seems easier that way, which is until she moves to Bangor, Maine and catches the eye of Cole, the football quarterback and heart throb of the school. He makes her feel things that she didn't think we're capable, and he shows how to make a bad situation into something semi-tolerable. It gets her thinking that maybe cliche boys with secrets aren't such a bad thing. During their 17th year, Andy and Cole must face the problems of high school, social hierarchy, their pasts, relationships, trust, friendships, and even love.

I feel like I hit a bit of a brick wall. I love this story, it was the first time I started writing for me and not for school. I was getting some major writer's block when it came to this story which felt weird because the creative juices had been flowing up to this point. I love this story and the characters and I finally realised that any writing I tried to force out would be really bad quality and that it could ruin the story. I do realise that this is very frustrating; I would be annoyed if someone did it to me. But I really think that in this case, less is more. I may come back to this story one day, but I make no promises. I feel like my time with Liam and Saskia has come to an end. They can enjoy their summer in peace! Basically, this is just a feel-good summer read, and I hope I've brought you some enjoyment at least. xx RomanceWriter2000 :)Complete

The moment the townsfolk of Stonehenge, Alabama learned it was a girl under that helmet, was the moment true colors showed.

There will be hard moments, but I want to put it out there because it IS a serious problem. Harsh language and such will be present. You have been warned, don't read it then complain.
