Everybody warned me about Rafe Cameron. I just wish they'd warned me about the things I couldn't see. Unfortunately, by the time I learned the truth, I was already in love with him. Story based on the OBX characters with my own plot. Enjoy :*

When you live in small, typical town like Portland, Oregon, you don't expect much. Arielle Martinez had her best friends, an annoying sister, and a single mother. Life was just a sweet time. She got through middle school and was now living her third year of high school. Junior. The only thing for her agenda this year is smiles, laughs, more laughs, and more memories. Of course, the dark-haired troubled, bad boy, Shadowfax Skywood didn't pop in her delicate, easygoing mind. Why would it? Freshman through Sophomore they never acknowledged each other's presence. Not even fight for the last apple pie in the cafeteria. But things have changed when both are thrown more and more into each other's path, but this doesn't bother Arielle much because she has nothing to hide, but what about Shadow? He's not popular, but he isn't close to a loner or at all of being ignored. So what is it? What's his secret? No turning back now, they're both in deep, but will this destroy them or get them closer?

Will she be with both of them or be forced to choose? Especially when she's at her lowest and two pink lines show up on a test. Not only will she struggle to choose who she wants to be with... But who is the father? "Maybe I'll love you one day. Maybe we'll someday grow." "So much for summer love, saying 'us' cause you weren't mine to lose. You weren't mine to lose."

17-year-old Abigail Wells, known as Abbie, is shipped off to live with her estranged mother. The same woman whom Abbie has not seen since she was about three years old. Abbie's dad, Keith, is not a good guy and hates her passionately. Her home life was not good growing up yet he was the only parent she has ever known. Her only constant. Adeline Cobwell, Abbie's mother, lives in a small town, Reef's Paradise located in Florida. As the name indicates, the town is sort of a paradise for people residing there. Hidden alcove of a town, separated from busy cities surrounding it. The local saying, 'once you are here, you never want to leave,' is something all townsfolk here adhere to. Just like any other small town, Reef's Paradise has its own stories and secrets. Most of such stories are known to all the residents but unknown to the newcomer, Abbie. One such intriguing story is about the Light House, located at the far end of the town on a deserted beach. There is something about the stories, and the Light House itself that attracts Abbie even before she finds out a secret, hiding in it. This is a story about Abbie's journey to self-discovery, to learn what love and care truly mean. Being a teenager is not easy nor is peeling off layers of masks, especially when you have them on for so long. When anger is the only emotion Abbie's known to express for so long things are bound to explode. This is my first story here. Comments and feedback are appreciated.

"Some scars never fade-they just learn how to hide." Harley thought moving to Florida would mean a fresh start-sunshine, new friends, maybe even a chance to feel normal again. But the shadows of her past aren't easily left behind. Secrets, scars, and haunting memories follow her into every hallway. Will friendship be enough to help her heal, or will the darkness she escaped finally catch up? ⸻ ⚠ Trigger Warnings ⚠ This story contains sensitive topics, including: • Physical & emotional abuse • Sexual assault references • Death & grief • Trauma, anxiety, & panic attacks • Violence Please read with care.

Sequel to This Time I'll Hang, Close the Door. Summer Quinn has been through a lot. There's been secrets, lies, changes, and promises. Finally some good events are taking place. But when good things come along, bad things have to balance the world out, right? What happens when the unimaginable happens? When the secrets come out, the lies unfold, the changes are for the worse, and the promises break? Well, that's for Mr. and Mrs. Quinn to find out. --QUICK NOTE! Kellin Quinn is not with Kate in this story. Instead he is with some fictional character I made up in my head (cool right?). Also, I do not own any band members nor famous people mentioned in this story, even though I would like to. Thank you for understanding.-- Warning: Sexual content, vulgar language, self harm, medical issues, death, and violence will be in this story. I will warn you when and if characters in the story are getting it on, when and if characters in the story are dying (or in pain either caused by others or themselves), and when and if something goes down that I don't think all of you want to read. But, I will only warn you all if it is truly needed. :) Dedicated to: @InnocentDemon69 Cover by: simplystiles-

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.

Charlotte Devereaux was raised to be perfect, perfect daughter, perfect ballerina, perfect pawn. But when tragedy rips through her life, the girl who once danced under the spotlight finds herself shackled and lost to even herself, forced into a marriage she never asked for, bound to a boy everyone swears is a monster. __ Rafe Cameron has demons that don't stay buried. Coke on his tongue, blood on his knuckles, he's destruction wrapped in a Kook's designer shirt. But beneath the ruin is something raw, something even he doesn't recognize until Charlotte collides into his orbit: a flicker of hope, a chance to be more than the devil he's become. There are no saints here. Only sinners, survivors, and the ones reckless and stupid enough to love anyway. _ "Maybe we're both lost," he says, voice softer than I've ever heard it. I don't need saving. And I sure as hell don't need him. So why does it feel like he's the only one who really sees me? _ Arranged Marriage trope. A Rafe Cameron Fanfic. No -Gold- plot.
