Melinda Grahm is a girl with some big secrets. After her parents died in a freak accident,  they left her behind to go and  live with her multimillionaire grandparents who she never knew existed until they arrived at the funeral and after living with them for two years, seventeen year old Mel is sent to a summer camp for teenagers, that's full of A-lister celebrities' children , where she has to spend an entire week in the California hills' woods with a complete stranger, Alex. 

When a fire starts and starts burning the woods down, Mel and Alex has to survive with only a week's worth of food, water from a river and a limited amount of cigarettes.  And while trying to stay alive, they learn more about each other than they'd like to care. 

                                                                                       

Join Mel and Alex on their strive to survival, get to know them and love them with me.

A Breath of Fresh Air by HeyImZackC

For 17-year-old high school senior Evan Brooks, life could be better. He's a social outcast at school, stuck in a rural Alabama small town he never wanted to move to, and he's got a secret he's desperately trying to keep: he's gay. When he embarks on a weekend vacation to the Florida panhandle with his hypermasculine brother, homophobic stepdad, and aloof mother, none of them can anticipate how much a simple 3-day trip will change their lives forever... **2025 Update: Hi! This was my very first attempt at crafting an entire story from scratch all the way back in 2020, and I'd like to think my writing has since improved. I've started working on a big rewrite project, so stay tuned for a newly enhanced story! Please visit the last chapter (2025 Rewrite Info/Updates) for more details. In the meantime, the original story will remain here in full - just know that I know some parts of it are cringe lol. I hope you still enjoy it though! :) Some details have changed between this story and Road to Rockdale in anticipation of the rewrite, so please excuse some inconsistencies if you're coming from that story. I promise everything will line up eventually! CONTENT WARNING/TRIGGERS: Please note that this story contains very strong language at times and some mature themes. Some characters face emotional abuse. There is also a small amount of physical abuse, but it is mostly implied apart from one scene which is not extremely graphic. Some characters are homophobic, and a slur is used a handful of times.
