To put his headphones down and experience everything that life has to offer one at a time again, and again, and again. For the first time in a long time, Marley Mason feels like himself.

Completed. ☼ " Her denial, that was like a dam holding back a flood of feeling, of sweet relief for desperate soil, holding back a flood it stood no chance against, as yet another crack formed with a strong wave that already knew it had won. On the other side Marley stood, watching her dam's inevitable, impending destruction - fearing, knowing, that quenching her aching thirst would be synonymous with drowning, would be synonymous with coming up for air, would be synonymous with surrendering to a force of nature that was beautiful in all its calm, but terrifying in all its chaos.

The Runaway Roots: A Seabrook Story Comedy-Drama Novel) by Mzstillyourman
16 parts Ongoing Mature
The Weavers arrive in the postcard-perfect town of Seabrook, Maine, desperate to shed their nomadic, shadowed existence. For Elara, it's a chance to build a real home; for Ginny, it's a terrifying opportunity for normalcy she craves but fears she can't handle. Their attempts to assimilate are immediately complicated: Ginny clashes (and then sparks) with her charming neighbor Liam, while his twin sister Sadie adopts Ginny with the force of a hurricane, dragging her into a vibrant friend group. Meanwhile, Elara finds an unexpected connection with the steady, kind hardware store owner next door, David, but is also intrigued by the enigmatic writer, Julian, whose own past seems tantalizingly shrouded. When Martin discovers Ginny's hidden scars, he insists on therapy and enrolls her in a community poetry class. There, Ginny meets Finn, whose intense gaze and raw poetry resonate deeply with her own hidden pain. Suddenly, Ginny is navigating two compelling but very different romantic possibilities: sunny Liam and his stable world, or brooding Finn who understands her darkness. As Ginny grapples with therapy, first loves, intense friendships, and the pressure of fitting in, Elara juggles her own dual suitors while trying to keep her family's past buried. But Seabrook has eyes, and whispers start. Old anxieties resurface as mysterious events hint that their flight might not be over. Through chaotic town events, heartfelt (and hilarious) moments with Sadie's squad, intimate confessions, stolen kisses, and the cathartic power of poetry, both mother and daughter must confront their pasts, embrace vulnerability, and decide not just who to love, but what kind of life - and roots - they are truly brave enough to build.

❝We shouldn't try to figure out every single thing in the world. Why does this happen, how does it happen? Why can't we just be content with being? Instead, the way our eye perceives color is explained, and how Earth was first formed, and everything. We fill ourselves with knowledge so much that something has to be emptied in order to make room for knowledge. So, our soul is poured out. Our appreciation for natural things are gone, thrown away. Our thirst for knowledge overcomes us. The world is a perplexity, let it stay like that. It's more beautiful that way.❞ We were made to live, not to observe. Marley Aspen knows first-hand what it's like to just get by, but to live, that's far out of her reach. Well, that is until befriending the new-girl, Sierra Ryder, shows her how to. But in unexpected twists and turns, Marley learns there is always more underneath the surface, and she gets more than she bargained for. Cover by: @leena-j

"Who the hell are you?" A boy demanded. He had tousled, chestnut hair. His green eyes were wide with confusion and red from irritation. The boy was also shirtless, paired with red and blue striped boxers. He was, after all, attractive. His abs shown a deep indent in his chest and I forced my eyes not to linger. "Who are you?" I sputtered. He squinted. "I'd like to think you have the common decency to answer me first. You just sprayed me with mace." I frowned, not enjoying his attitude, and crossed my arms over my chest. "Lindsey. Lavender's best friend." I explained as if he should've known. "Oh I'm sorry that wasn't included in the handbook." He spit. I smirked. "Well I'm sleeping here." "So am I."

"Wanted to be bold." I blush while I avoid eye contact. "Devin needed to borrow clothes for gym." I stare at my bare legs. "I should've told her no." He shrugs, biting into his sub. "Not a fan of exposing the body." I nibble on my burrito. "I just don't want anyone to get the wrong idea." I tuck my hair behind my ear. "That you're easy." My face reddens as I look at him in the corner of my eyes. After a few moments, I nod. He sighs. "The only thing that makes a girl easy is if she lets every and any guy inside." He runs his fingers through his hair. "Clothes or attitude has nothing to do with it." I trace a circle on my thigh. "And a guy that believes otherwise is either a dick or a rapist." I smile. "Avery." "Ava." "Your brain works in wonderful ways." I get more comfortable and lean on his shoulder. "So you've said." I giggle. "I'm glad to share the same name as you." ~ A girl, a perfectionist, named Avery Jones has been in love with her childhood friend's brother for as long as she can remember. He's never noticed her, though, he doesn't really notice anyone. He's sort of an insouciant philanderer. They couldn't be any different, the only thing that connects them is their names. Oh, by the way, his name is also Avery Jones; no relation. As crazy as it might sound, it's true. Anyway, it isn't until she becomes his mentor that he finally sees her. But will this new circumstance spark a connection or show just how different they are?

"Get in" comes out his voice, and I must've stood there agape for a few moments because next comes his rhetorical question. "Are you getting in or continuing walking in the rain?"

Do you ever wonder what life would be like if it were a movie? Or some sappy romance novel that you wish your life could be like but it's not? Sometimes you may even get to caught up in the fictional world that you don't realise it IS fictional. Then when you do realise life isn't what you convinced yourself it would be, there is only one possible outcome. Depression. Which may lead to anxiety, self-harm, low self esteem, and worst of all, losing the people you love. Life works in weird ways. Not just for you but for others too. Take Cassidy Rivers for example. Her life is far from perfect. No parents, over protective big brother, few friends, and Asher Norman, the bad boy who won't stop picking on her. Could life get any worse for Cassidy?
