Instead the entirety of New York is a city filled with heartbreak and hurt. April, growing up in Brooklyn, has been aware, starting at a young age, of the disappointments that this city holds. She has ever had a stable home or parent in her life, making the hurt only that much worse. April had always dreamed of her music taking her away from this city of pain, but never expected to leave so soon. When her mother shows up with a rock on her left hand and empty cardboard boxes, April isn't ready to leave the city and the memories behind.
From the big city to a small town...
From her broken home to a "happy" family...
Follow April as she tries to navigate adapting to change, dealing with pain from her past, and even a teenage crush in this perfect summer story "Hello April".

The girl from New York
Completed✔️ Disclaimer: I wrote this when I was 15 so it is a bit cliché, and many mistakes in the story:) All Brooklyn's life, she's been more of a boy than a girl. She's only ever lived with her single dad and her three older brothers, which means she was bound to grow up more like them. So, when she moved all the way from New York to Tennessee, it wasn't much of a surprise until she met Alex, the one of many popular boys at the high school. Until she realized that Alex decided to make her life a living hell. Well, that's what Brooklyn thought, at least... ___ "He leaned in and put a hand behind my head to kiss me, leaving me frozen and speechless. Almost instinctively, after a moment of processing, I stood on my tippy toes and replaced my fingers in his hair, my other hand on his neck. Butterflies exploded in my stomach, replacing my hunger for food, as he pressed me against a vacant wall. Without a word, he lifted me up while my legs wrapped around his waist, leaning in closer to him, even after there was no more space to fill."
