The moment Marley Mason moved to the United States of America he stopped speaking. Dislocated from his mother, friends, and culture, Marley found it impossible to voice his thoughts to anyone but his father. Thereafter, he gave up on himself and his happiness. What else was an alien to do?

Until he meets Ava DeLoughery and she makes him want to give this world a second try.  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. But the Miami summer-time heat must be getting to him because Marley Mason should know better than to find a home in fickle people, like Ava DeLoughery.

He looks out beyond the edge and I can't seem to pull my eyes away from him. He smiles and speaks, but I can't hear anything he says. Even so, the buzzing seems to grow quieter and quieter till it's just silence all around myself and him. I watch his mouth move as inaudible words flow from it into the air, and his hands open as he gestures while he speaks. I watch as he looks turns to look at me to be sure I am following along, and then his eyes just wait on me and his mouth stops moving. I watch him mouth my name and tilt his head to read me. There's nothing I can tell him. Nothing that wont change things, but if I keep this going things will change. "Xylia," He mouths again. ******************************************** Xylia doesn't remember any of it, she lived through it all and yet she can't remember.

Novah by Joenique7

Leaving behind the small, sun-soaked island of Jamaica, Novah-Lee Brown boarded her flight to Miami with a heart full of hope and a suitcase packed with more than just clothes. The weight of her past-memories of her mother's death and the suffocating shadows of grief-had followed her for years, pulling her deeper into herself. She craved a fresh start, a chance to breathe again, and she believed the vibrant streets of Florida's big city might offer the escape she desperately needed. But Miami wasn't the sanctuary she had envisioned. The city, with its endless motion and noise, overwhelmed her. She found herself navigating uncharted waters, caught between the chaos of her new environment and the lingering pain she'd tried to leave behind. Yet, even amidst the struggles, Novah-Lee couldn't help but wonder if, somewhere in this unfamiliar world, she might finally find the connection and love she'd been yearning for-a chance to begin again, not by forgetting her past, but by building something new. ****Editing, Changing plot and Characters***

The real world skins you alive. It's a hazard of growing up in rural Suffolk... or possibly, it's a hazard of growing up. Either way, the Dorian Andrade and Isaiah Matalon who run into each other at a party in Oxford have become equally disenchanted imitations of the boys who used to spend summers eating stolen apples on the riverbank. A lot has changed in the six years since they saw each other. One thing is still the same: the longing for each other's company. But aren't the objects of our yearning so much easier to encounter in the imagination than when they're standing in front of us?

"Damn it, Mason, you can't fix me. I'm not some used car that needs an oil change." I'm standing at the edge of my driveway. If I take one step towards that house, then I go back to my life. The life I've had since Mason left. Since he abandoned me. If I turn around. If I take one second to look into his eyes. I don't think I'll be able to resist throwing myself in his arms. "I'm shattered, Mason. Like a dusty vase that's been ignored for too long." "You know the best thing about broken vases, Mel? You just need three things to make them whole." I decide to go along with his speech. "Faith, trust, and pixie dust?" I muse. "Tape, glue, and someone willing to fix it. And I'm right here, Mel."
