Jade Ross and her mother, Sarah Ross, flee New York City to escape their past, leaving the haunting memories of the old creaky apartment a thousand miles away.

This golden haired, dark eyed boy intrigues Jade, as she fights with herself not knowing how to feel. She had put up a thick icy wall around her soul to protect her, but we don't decide who we fall for, and sometimes it makes that icy impenetrable wall crumble to the ground as quick as a heartbeat.

Never Untouched
"Don't call me anything but Jade!" I scowled. "And what happens if I don't?" He took a step forward making me feel smaller in seconds. "I-i..." "Right, You won't do anything miss "I'm so tough". " He said taking more steps forward causing me to take steps backwards. "I'll tell my dad!" I threatened. "If you were going to tell him, you would have done it already." He said. My back hit a wall and I almost fell, but I caught myself on the wall. "I'm not gonna stop until I get what I want." He said putting his hands on the wall next to my head. He's standing so close to me that he feels like a blanket. **** [18+] [Mature content] [Sexual content]Complete

To Breathe Again
"I want to capture this moment and save it forever." He looked at her, watching the way her cheeks flushed a deep red as he brushed a strand of hair behind her ear. "You're breathtaking. You have no idea how gorgeous you are, do you?" His voice was a low whisper, sending shivers down her spine. She tried to hide her smile but failed. Slowly, he leaned in, his breath warm against her neck. "Would you like me to make you feel good?" Her heart raced as she nodded, barely able to speak. His hands moved down her legs, teasing her, building anticipation. She leaned back, letting herself get lost in the moment, her mind swirling with the intoxicating sensations. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Michelle Garcia is doing the best she can to get back on her feet along with her 17 year old son.

Things we Lose (Updated version)
COMPLETED. Jade thought she understood loss. She's lived in the silence her parents left behind when they died. She's learned how to carry the weight of it without collapsing. She's convinced herself that surviving is the same thing as healing. She was wrong. The past isn't finished with her. The life she carefully rebuilt begins to fracture, like glass strained past its limit. The safety she clings to feels thinner. The future she once believed in feels uncertain. With her fiercely protective brother and the two boys who refuse to let her face the dark alone, Jade is pulled into something deeper than grief-something that watches, waits, and refuses to forgive. Old wounds reopen. Paranoia tightens its grip. Secrets begin to surface. Someone out there hasn't forgotten the past and whatever is coming isn't finished yet. They linger. They follow. They wait for the perfect moment to return. And this time... It's personal.Complete
