"When people know too much about you or just those deep things it makes you their puppet," Alex says, cracking open a new can of beer.
"Oh well, I get that, but there's such a thing as having friends. Like y'know, the people who don't backstab you."
He looks up a bit as if he's thinking about something, a look of sadness on his face. It's quickly replaced with a stoic expression," Well, I don't really think many people would want to even know me."
**********

Tell Me How It Ends (the Novella)
I kissed him. I slept next to him. I thought maybe, for once, this would go somewhere. Instead, he blocked me. Sage wasn't supposed to fall for Alex. He was a distraction. A hookup. A maybe-I'll-regret-this-but-who-cares kind of night. But somewhere between cheap beer and his stupid smile, she started to feel safe with him. Seen. Like maybe she wasn't too much. Then he disappeared. No explanation. No goodbye. Just silence where he used to be. Now Sage is trying to move forward-drinking too much, overthinking everything, and rewriting the story in her head just to make it hurt less. Meanwhile, Alex is unraveling. And every chapter takes us further back through the mess he made. Told in dual timelines-Sage moving forward, Alex spiraling in reverse- Tell Me How It Ends is a story about almosts, unspoken apologies, and the kind of love that leaves you wondering if you were ever enough TRIGGER WARNING: Drugs, depression, Borderline Personality Disorder POV, Bi-Polar Disorder POV, sex, and languageComplete
Stepping into Adulthood
The story is about a group of friends. They're about to graduate from high school and step into their respective college life. On one hand they have the immense pressure of the school final exam and on the other hand they're filled with nostalgia. They're about to close one chapter of their life and step into another one. The story starts on the last day at school. Coming to school together for the last time, sitting together for the last time, having lunch together for the last time, bunking classes together for the last time, getting scolded / punished together for the last time. All of these combined create an environment where the students are completely immersed into enjoying their final day at school. They'll be leaving the school soon. They'll become the past tense while a new batch takes their place and a new future waits for the present one to become past. So, everyone's busy making one last memory. Some eager to bid farewell to their friends, some taking one last shot to propose to their crushes or some maybe just want to get it over with. Overall everyone's busy trying to make their ending(of school life) a happy ending. But the pursuit of a happy ending isn't always happy. Complications are very real things. As they step out of adolescence and step into adulthood they get acquainted with real world problems, some more serious than others. [updates every Wednesday / Thursday]
Faded Memories
"He seemed like a puzzle to me, and I really liked solving puzzles. But somehow, I don't think that I would ever be able to solve this one." Amelia Heart, with her large smile and her infectious laugh, is what most people would think has the perfect life. They would watch as she went back to her beach house, as she went out of her way to stop and chat to her neighbours, as she would get the perfect grades. She was everything you wanted to be, and yet nobody had gotten close enough to her to understand her life in this small town at all. When her plans of leaving suddenly change, and she is forced to start attending the local school, her life takes a route that she hadn't accounted for. A new group of friends, a chance at a normal teenage life, even a potential love interest - things that Amelia had never even thought about happening after everything she'd been through. But happiness is only temporary in her life, and she knew that. It wasn't surprising to her when her past began to catch up with her present, it was simply a good thing that it had taken as long as it had. Things start happening in Amelia's life that simply don't make sense, even to her. They do say you should always keep an eye over your shoulder, especially when you know you're being hunted, but for Amelia, even an eye in every direction wouldn't be enough. Time begins counting down, fast. Did she want to involve her friends? Could the new people in her life be trusted? She wouldn't have long to make a decision. Not before her world comes blazing down, the final battle on the horizon. Tick, tock, Amelia. You don't want to be late to the party when you're the guest of honour. COMPLETED 06/11/20Complete

He needs to understand that I don't have a choice. Or do I? "I do too. But...Why are you saying it like that?" He asked, feeling a little anxious. "Like what?"
