You never expect to find your true love online. Why would you? That seems positively crazy. When it came to Julie and Eric though, they couldn't imagine their lives any other way. Until one day, everything changes.
This is the story of love at first text, heartbreak, undeniable emotions, and pain.
Will their love be enough to see them through to the very end?

Forewarning!!! This is my first time making anything like this public. Please be kind with me!
This idea came to me in a dream the other night. I have the entire plot written out, though not flushed out in a full story yet. Please bear with me as I  try to keep updates coming.

Have you ever met someone who alters the course of your life? For good or for bad, they've come in, given and taken, and then- BOOM! Your life was never the same. There's always a change, an altering of reality. When you meet those people, the reality that you've known your whole life is suddenly gone and a new one has taken its place. When those moments happen, there's no going back. You can try to return to the way things were but nothing, and I mean nothing, can take you back to exactly how it was. That's what happened to us. I think that's why we're still trying so desperately to get back to some sort of normalcy. Four years later and we're still on the ground, crawling, in search of the happiness that was lost that June. Summers will never be the same. Midnight walks through my neighborhood will never be the same. Field parties with bonfires and loud music will never be the same. I still don't know why you left and what lead you to the decision you made. What I do know is that we're here. We're alive and we're pushing forward to the future. A future that you're not a part of. But in some ways, I'm glad you're not a part of it. I just wish it wasn't like this. *** TRIGGER WARNING*** SA, abuse, suicide, substance abuse, and mental illness. This is a complete story that is much like life; fast, full of surprises, and not always how we want it to be. This has been a project of mine for over three years. It was self-published on Amazon, but after some issues in publication, I decided to just upload it on here. I hope you fall in love with these characters like I have. The friends in this story are trying to make names for themselves, figure out who they are, who they can trust, how to love, and how to separate themselves from a restrictive community. As in any coming of age story, they will experience growing pains... but will they survive them before its too late? PLEASE READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS.

Summary: Chase was a handsome young guy studying in NYU. His goal was simple, to achieve high GPA then take over his family's business. From the day he was born everything was planned for him by his mother and being the good son, he followed all the plans until one day his grandfather was rushed to the hospital. He had always been very close to his grandfather, and he loved him. So, when his grandfather requested him to fulfill his last wish before death played its role, he agreed. But his grandfather's last wish left everyone shocked and destroyed every plan Chase's mother had made all these years. The wish was simple. He wanted him to marry his friend's granddaughter. Despite hating the idea of arranged marriage, Chase agreed to fulfill his grandfather's wish. Hailey was a simple, innocent, and lovable girl with a horrible past imprinted on her mind and heart. She was called a freak, fat, and ugly. She received disgust-filled glances from her own sister and mother. Her mother even pushed her away because Hailey didn't act like her older sister, Emily. Hailey lived all her life under the shadow of her sister, who was beautiful and wanted to become a model. Instead of trying to become like Emily, Hailey found her own escape, which was books. She would read and wait for her Prince Charming to come and sweep her off her feet. But when she agreed to get married to Chase Edwards on the request of her mother to save Emily from an arranged marriage, she didn't know that Chase was no Prince Charming. Read "Broken Hearts" to know how Hailey ended up falling for the man that was no Prince Charming. Copyright ©Sonysa [S.G. sonysa] All rights are reserved
My Sisters Twin -A Race Against Time by ShemaWind
34 parts Ongoing Mature
💥💥💥💥 Trigger warning 💥💥💥💥 Abuse Situations and suggestions. Read with caution!! Prologue: Race Against Time The clock was ticking. Cam could hear it in the steady beeping of hospital monitors, in the hushed whispers of nurses moving through the sterile hallways. But most of all, he could feel it-in the desperate, suffocating weight of time slipping away. Emily was sick. The kind of sick that made doctors avoid eye contact, that made people whisper outside the hospital room, that made his wife, Crysta, hold onto their daughter's tiny hand like letting go would make everything worse. The diagnosis had come too fast. One day, Emily was running through the yard, her laughter ringing like music in the air. The next, she was pale, tired, her small body betraying her in ways no child should ever have to endure. A rare form of cancer. Aggressive. Unforgiving. And now, the only hope they had-the only thing standing between Emily and the unthinkable-was Penny. Cam's hands gripped the steering wheel so tightly his knuckles turned white. The car's engine roared as he sped down the highway, chasing a ghost of a woman who had barely existed in Emily's life. Penny was a drug addict, a mess, a woman who had abandoned her daughter before she could even say "mama." But somewhere in her broken body, in her ruined veins, was a match. The only match. She was the key to saving Emily's life. But Penny wasn't answering her phone. Penny had disappeared into the underworld she always ran to when things got too real. Cam had to find her, had to drag her back, had to make her see that this time-this time, it wasn't about her mistakes. It was about Emily. The tires screeched as Cam took a hard turn, the desperation in his chest pushing him forward. He didn't have time for Penny's self-destruction. He didn't have time for her excuses. He just needed her blood.
