Give It Two Weeks by xHope_Writer_Gistx

{Completed} Elizabeth Walker wasn't much of a social butterfly, to put it lightly. She actually preferred to spend her time by herself, where she could think in peace, which she planned to do on her family's two-week long beach vacation. However, her parents did not seem to understand that concept at all. In fact, they were all but mad that she wasn't out being a normal teenager. So, her mom practically forced her to spend time with the rude boy they met in the elevator. (Something about being more social? Who needs social time, anyways?) All she could think about was how rude this boy was. Hayes was nothing but trouble, the tattoo on his chest told her that much. But when he insists on betting that she will fall for him in two weeks, she agrees to the bet, positive that she would never even come close to falling for him. (She is nothing if not competitive.) Will she fall for Hayes before the two weeks are up? I mean, sure he can sing really well. And sure, he's kind of hot. Okay really hot. But seriously, he's just some rude boy from an elevator. There's no way she'd fall for him. Right? "Give It Two Weeks"

Altered by LuellaOpal

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.

With a dash of roguish charm and a cocksure smile, Nathan Blake is the ultimate fantasy. He can have any woman he wants with only a glance. And he wants me. My past has left me broken and humiliated, wary of men like him. I cut myself off from the pain, moving thousands of miles away to escape every reminder, determined to start anew. I've been second best before. It isn't happening again. One kiss and I'm caught under his spell, drawn to him with every breath I take. I can't resist. The passion that explodes between us becomes an intense connection neither of us thought we'd share. Or need.

Salvation will take you on a captivating sensual journey of finding, fighting and finally giving in to a love that is clearly meant to be.
