Sometimes we find our lifeline but it's not quite what we expect.
Jacquie is going through a lot in her own life but she has a promise to keep. Will she break it or will she stay next to Adeline when moments come and test their already unsteady ground?
"It's funny how all people see is water coming out of the sky and ruining their day. I don't see rain like that. It's soothing in a way. It falls so gracefully without a care in the world where it lands. It can land in the ocean, but you know what? It will still make a ripple and after it falls into the ocean it will stand with the rest of the drops of water, freshwater and saltwater combining. Does that stop it from shining? No. Why? Because now it joined hands with many others to make one of the most beautiful things in the world. Why can't we be like that raindrop?" She speaks out of her mind. It's not the best analogy and I honestly wouldn't have thought of such a comparison if it wasn't for Adeline. I smile up at her knowing that all she needs me to do is listen.

I asked thinking back, trying to figure out what exactly. "You're doing everything right" She confessed leaving realization to stand in my mind. "And that scares you?" I asked but it sounded more like a statement, nonetheless, she still gave me a small nod to confirm my words. "What's your fear when it comes to us?" I asked softly. "That you'll hurt me, lie, cheat, change" She replied her voice small and I could tell each word she said held a memory.

If You Love Me
"If you love me, you won't leave me." Jessie has believed those words from her boyfriend, Josh, since senior year of high school. She loves him and doesn't want to leave him. Not even when he shouts at her and hits her. Jessie's best friend, Kolleen, can't stand seeing her in that situation. With a bit of convincing - and the worst beating she'd ever received - Jessie agrees to move into an apartment with Kolleen. But not long after, Jessie is scared the worst of her nightmares will soon become a reality. Josh goes missing, and suddenly Jessie would swear she's being followed. One night changes everything, and one person soon changes Jessie's outlook. A responding officer from that fateful night begins to seek her out, at first claiming it's part of his job. As she spends time with her new friend outside of his job, she starts realizing that her feelings are evolving. After being abused for over a year, Jessie is terrified she's falling in love. What's even more terrifying is that he might be, too. She isn't ready for love. Not yet. She makes up her mind that if he is falling, and if he does love her, he'll wait for her to be ready, and if she loves him, she won't let herself hurt him. Can the words that used to cage her in really be the key to her freedom? --- Featured On: @NA: Take a seat and let it be | Mature Content and 18+ reading list @NA: You deserve the world | Mental Health reading list Ambys Top Picks New Adult 2023Complete
Invincible | JJ Maybank²
The first two parts are in my book Unbreakable. "We were never the kind of people who get each other in the end." This story is for everyone unhappy with season 4's ending. A story of all the drama that could follow JJ without the treasure hunting. ----------------------------------- Months have passed since Callie left the Outer Banks behind-since she walked away from JJ, from everything they had, and everything they lost. Now back on the island, Callie needs to come back to her old life without making the same mistakes. But have JJ and Callie really gotten over each other? And can they stay friends without hurting each other? As the summer heat settles in, unresolved feelings bubble to the surface. They've both tried to move on, but gravity has its own rules. Now, Callie must decide: is the past something you leave behind, or something you fight for? In this story I try to capture the wild, messy beauty of falling for someone you can't seem to let go. *Includes mature content such as mental health, sexual mentions, violence and more.* *This story will not follow the plot of the Outer Banks series* *I only own my character and her story* [ fem oc x jj maybank ]

"You and I both know you haven't been okay in months" "So what? It doesn't matter. Not with all the other things we have to worry about." "See that's the problem Lydia. You don't give a shit about yourself and it's going to end up killing you. You don't think about everyone you'd leave behind, all of the people left wondering how the hell they're going to continue their life without you in it. I mean for fucks sake I can't even imagine my life without you in it. You promised me that you'd never leave me. That's one promise that I need you to keep. I know that's selfish for me to ask but if you can't keep doing this for yourself then do it for me or John B or Kie or Pope. We need you, more than anything else in the world."
