Synopsis: "I hold the edges of the ticket between my thumbs and forefingers. I turn it over and over and over, making sure this is real. Making sure this is actually happening."
I'm going away. I'm going away to where my past can't catch up with me. I'm going away and I'm not coming back.

Terminal One
For years, Zachary Lewis Taylor has been stuck in Terminal One-not an airport, but the space between his past and future, between heartbreak and the possibility of love. He's spent too long waiting, afraid to board the next chapter of his life. Then he meets Fatima Latrice Wilson, a woman who knows all too well what it means to be caught between arrivals and departures. With her own wounds and unspoken regrets, Fatima becomes an unexpected companion in Zac's limbo. Together, they navigate the turbulence of love, loss, and second chances. But love is a departure gate-you either take the leap or stay behind. And as Zac and Fatima stand at the crossroads of their own hearts, they must decide whether to keep waiting or finally take flight. A poignant and heartfelt love story, Terminal One is about the moments that keep us grounded, the fears that hold us back, and the courage it takes to finally move forward.Complete
Ajax (Book 1 of the Reincarnation Series)
***Currently being edited and updated.*** I held onto my gun until all the blood in my hand had gone back into my arm. My knuckles were as white as snow, and I watched as the person whom I used to hate was getting brutally beaten to death, and I couldn't do anything about it because that was the plan. It's funny how feelings change over time. I tried to stay calm, I had to for the sake of all those poor girls, but they let out a blood-curdling scream, and that was my last straw. I wasn't going to let anything happen to the person I had slowly fallen in love with... I can't... cause if I do, I'm no better than my mother. **** Alexandra Slick, or more famously known as Ajax, is one helluva mafiosa. Her mother, the head of an all-female mafia, is a woman who takes other girls and women in need under her wing, to give them a home, and a better life- The same way she gave to Andra. Or is that all just a facade? Andra's stuck between a moral dilemma between sticking to her family, even if they weren't connected by blood, but still... Who is telling the truth? The facts, or the stories that she grew up with? Then... then came in Marcus Dane- the man who changed it all. For good or for worse? We'll find out.
Becoming "Forever Yours"
Two girls. One heart. A tale of an unusual love. A story some of us need to hear. ~ "I like you. I don't care how uncomfortable that makes anybody. And I damn sure ain't letting anyone dictate if I can or can't talk to you." She brought my hands closer up, I could feel her cool breath against my knuckles. "Or if I can or can't be around you." "Why.. do you care so much?" I couldn't be angry anymore, not at her. Not with how she was looking at me right now. "Give me one good reason why I shouldn't." She pulled me into her, the smell of her leather jacket now more heady and thrilling as ever. She's going to kiss me.. She's.. she's really going to do it.. My eyes started to flutter close, head tilting in a fashion that allowed me to see what was coming just before I closed them completely. Awe shit. I backed away. "Turn around.." My chest tightened. "..And there's your reason."Complete

If I Try (Lesbian Story)
My life in ruins, this is where I'm at currently. I was living a lie, lying to people and most importantly to myself. You can act straight all you want, you can try to convince yourself that, but no matter how hard you try. The truth is always revealed. What did I do? I stroked her face, and told her she was still beautiful, then I bent down and kissed her. One of those soft, yet deep, gut wrenching, I'll always love you, but I have to let you go, goodbye kisses. Then I rested my forehead on hers and closed my eyes. I saw the past that we had, all of the memories we had together, I took them in, I felt the feelings again, I processed them. Then I saw the dreams that we dreamed for our future, I saw all of our plans that we made, I felt them, I felt the pain of what would never be, and then I released it all. I didn't realize I was sobbing until I felt her hand graze over the tears. I opened my eyes, blinked away the tears I had left, and smiled. She returned my smile. We knew at that point that no matter what happened, we would be ok.............. This is my struggle, this is my journey. Join me for the ride, but make sure you wear your helmet.Complete
Darkest hours (G!P)
This world is set in the past. In a time where nothing was impossible, Where dragons fly above our heads. We learned to ride them, and become friends with them. We created artifacts that make our dragos small and then big again when we need them. That's what sets our world into two sides. A side where dragon riders lived and flew on them. And a side where they hated dragons, and the one that rode them. Even though we managed to work in peace, there was no war between us. Only fights that were under control and rules. In the Arena in the city called Aeloria. A city where there were both sides. They mostly ignored each other. But it was hard to get in this city. Mostly it was the people that lived there. And a few outsiders, but that was either the sellers, chosen group of warriors or dragon riders, and lastly the best fighters of the academies that went into the arena. To prove who is stronger and the winner will receive high quality weapons or any other things of their choice. One day the darkness came and war started. Not between us, but with a kingdom that was across the sea. And this battle or war changed everything we knew. I'm Ardyn, I'm on the side where we ride on dragons. And this story can be easy but also hard to understand. But I will still share it. But first we have to start from the beginning. What will this story bring? Will we be able to see the outcome? Let's wait and see. --------------------------------------------- "Get on!" Leora screams at Ardyn. Extending her hand for her to take. "No, I'm not getting there I hate ships." I shook my head and took a step back. Leora sighed and shook her head in mocked amusement. "Are you telling me you are able to fly on a dragon. But you are scared of standing on a ship. Don't make me laugh." "Yes. So what, I'm not getting on." I said angry and she grabbed my hand and pulled me up.

The girl from New York
Completed✔️ Disclaimer: I wrote this when I was 15 so it is a bit cliché, and many mistakes in the story:) All Brooklyn's life, she's been more of a boy than a girl. She's only ever lived with her single dad and her three older brothers, which means she was bound to grow up more like them. So, when she moved all the way from New York to Tennessee, it wasn't much of a surprise until she met Alex, the one of many popular boys at the high school. Until she realized that Alex decided to make her life a living hell. Well, that's what Brooklyn thought, at least... ___ "He leaned in and put a hand behind my head to kiss me, leaving me frozen and speechless. Almost instinctively, after a moment of processing, I stood on my tippy toes and replaced my fingers in his hair, my other hand on his neck. Butterflies exploded in my stomach, replacing my hunger for food, as he pressed me against a vacant wall. Without a word, he lifted me up while my legs wrapped around his waist, leaning in closer to him, even after there was no more space to fill."
