Rush, rush, rush. That's all it ever is nowadays. Some people rush to make it to work on time, others to school. Anyhow, everybody is always in the largest of rushes. Nobody ever bothers to stop by and say one mere word that could make your life spiral into whole other one. Nobody ever dares to utter one simple and symbolic word that could intertwine two fates together, forever. Nobody has the decency to. Everybody is caught too far up into their own lives to notice others buzzing with life around them. Maybe this is the fault in us humans. We're far too selfish. Always snatching times and opportunities for ourselves, stranding others with nothing. Get ready, get set and go. That's the way it's always been, ever since you were born.
Although, maybe, some people do have the time to sacrifice for others. This is a story about what happens when you put others before yourselves. Behold, Leah Wilson's life.
Strap on your seatbelt and hold on tight, because this is going to be one hell of a ride. Oh, and don't forget a box of tissues. You're going to need them.

Shattered
⚠️THIS STORY IS OLD. IT ISN'T VERY GOOD. THE OTHER BOOK IS BETTER⚠️ Adeline was a good kid. She worked hard, took care of herself, and didn't let anybody push her around. At least that's what the kids at school thought. But, like most people, she had secrets. Things nobody knew about her. Nobody knew her mother and stepfather hated her. Nobody knew she lived alone with her best friend. Nobody knew that, outside of school, she was a totally different person. Nobody knew what she had been through, and all the things that left her shattered. This is how she lived her life. This is the only life she had ever known. But what would happen if all of that changed? Could one school lecture, a mishap at the courthouse, and a DNA test change her life forever? For the better or for the worst, Adeline's life is about to change. And for once in her life, she might not have to keep so many secrets. ********************************* Started: 6/18/2022 Finished: 7/29/2022 © 2022 Taylor Sassone Cover by my awesome sister @owlhootsburger13Complete

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.

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.Complete
Let's pretend (book 1)
"You're beautiful Elise" "Zach, please..." I smiled when she called me Zach. It was always Zachary or Mr. Walton and when she called me Zach I... "Zach?" she sat up on the bed raising an eyebrow "If you don't want..." I cut her off by kissing her gently while tugging on her shorts until I removed them without breaking the kiss. "I want this, more than you can imagine, I just want you to be sure you want it too" Without saying anything she started undoing my shirt's buttons, until she lost all her patience and ripped it off. I chuckled "Eager much?" "Don't you think it's about time?

His Sunshine | ✓
She looks up at me, taking a step forward and smiling slightly, "How can I ever get hurt when I have you here to protect me?" "But you could have gotten hurt," I murmur softly, hanging my head and feeling my shoulders drop, the tension seeping from my body. "No. Stop," She cuts me off sternly but tenderly, "Don't talk like that, Reece. I'm okay, you're okay, we're okay," She speaks softly, reaching her hand up to gently brush her thumb over my cheek, just under the cut that's there. "We're okay," I repeat, taking a small step closer to her. She nods with a small smile, moving her hand down from my cheek and instead placing the palm of her hand on my chest, right over my heart. I know she can feel how fast my heart is beating. I just don't know why it's doing that. ~ Reece Carter is the bad boy of Northwood High. He smokes and he fights.
