When I was younger, maybe sixteen or fifteen or so, I was in love with a boy that was destined for greatness. We were childhood friends, grown up together in a small town in England, Doncaster, if I remember. I thought we were invincible, nothing could hurt us as long as we were together, and I thought we would be together forever. But then, forever ended, and with it my ability to love. He had to leave, with good cause of course, he had the voice of an angel and he wanted to share it with the world. A new world, one that I couldn't be a part of. Ever since him, ever since we split I have not been with any men, and that was five years ago. For five years I have been unloved and unlovable, and it's better that it stay that way I suppose. Because no one will ever compare to the love I had for a very special Louis Tomlinson.
WATTPAD BOOKS EDITION
Can she be herself in a one-size-fits-all world?
Lori Palmer is the new girl at Bay Water High, where students prize glossy hair, beach bodies, and school spirit above all else. She misses her old school―where her talent as an artist carried more weight than she does―and longs for her old family life, before her parents got divorced and her mom reinvented herself.
So Lori decides that the only way to survive the rest of the year is to blend into the background, but her plans go awry when she discovers that the most popular (and hottest) guy at Bay Water High, Jake, is a volunteer at her brother's school. When her brother befriends Jake's sister, Lori is suddenly thrust into his unfamiliar and exhilarating world of water polo, parties, and stargazing.
But with her relationship with her mother deteriorating, old anxieties resurface and Lori finds a new artistic release that unknowingly ignites a powerful movement. When the authorities start asking questions, Lori realizes that finding her voice might have gotten her into a world of trouble...but sometimes standing up for what you believe in is as important as standing up for yourself.
