When it rains in the desert by NailahSyedd

I won't lie to you and tell you that this is a happy story because that would be a lie and I want to be real with you. This story may rip you apart and I just want to warn you if you want happily ever after then Cinderella will be in the children's section. Now that we're straight with each other let me introduce you to the characters. First of all, Jacob Mendoza (that's me) and for now that's all you need to know;) Have you ever felt like your going backwards and the rest of the world is going forwards. It's like everyone's moving and you're just stuck. I'd felt like that my whole life. That is until I met my Celia. God she was so beautiful. She was breathtaking. Her smile tasted like fireworks. Every time. I never understood how another person could make me feel like that. But if I sit here describing her I will be here all day so let's not get ahead of ourselves. I was 23 when I met my Celia, the rest of my life is irrelevant because none of it actually mattered until I met her so let's begin.

As I Fell ✓ by beeyunxx

*CURRENTLY EDITING! This version may or may not contain harmful stereotypes and I had been meaning to revise them and change them so better messages are communicated. Also, chapter numbers may be repeated due to newer chapters that I added after originally finishing the story. Thank u!* Owen Watson isn't what others consider a people's person. Introverted and bookish as he is, Owen is known to be grouchy and easily annoyed, especially with people who treat him as someone who is only defined by their disability. He was in a wheelchair, but he was fine anyway. Being in one means standing out, and one of the things Owen hates the most is attention. He just wants to sit back in the shadows with a good book. Everything changed when Athena Calimeris stumbled into his life and made things more complicated. Athena is your typical, bubbly, girl next door. Child at heart, people wouldn't think twice to know that she's a former child prodigy. Though her recent past tells a different story, she is as fragile as any other person can be despite her playful, sunny personality. Due to a not-so typical meeting, Owen and Athena aren't exactly instant partners in crime. With a little sprinkle of blossoming friendship and a tiny pinch of eye rolling, falling for the other might seem impossible, but not entirely.

Don't give up // justin bieber by xHemmohugs

Riley is that kind of girl that doesn't give a fuck about school or about what others think, that loves to do her own thing and that always gets in trouble. But that all changes when she's forced to work at the local children hospital. At first she doesn't like it at all. She thinks it's boring. Until she meets Justin, a 16 year old boy who's been in a coma for almost a year. He has no one left. Everything he ever had is gone. No one believes in him anymore. They don't think he'll wake up. But for some reason Riley believes in him. She doesn't give up on him. Riley has never cared about anyone, yet she cares about that cute 16 year old boy who she just met. "Why didn't you give up on me when everyone else did? Why do you care about me when no one else does? Why did you believe in me when no one else did?" I sighed and looked into his eyes. "Because everyone deserves to live no matter what. Everyone deserves someone who cares about them. Everyone deserves to be loved. That's why, Justin." *Completed* *Not edited*

The Boys Of Echo Beach by Nepenthe0000

Georgia Riley, a 17 year old girl, is invited by her best friend to come stay with him and his cousin's family in Echo Beach during the summer holidays. Whilst there she meets the cousin Connor and his best friend Will. Over the course of Georgia's time there she will experience her first love, hate, heartbreak and acceptance. Contains some smut. Recommend listening to the music. It'll help you get the vibe. Trigger warning for possible sensitive topics. P.s. If you enjoyed The Summer I Turned Pretty then I definitely recommend you read this. (Disclaimer: I am in no way shape or form trying to offend anyone with any of the topics, events or language that may take place or be used in this book. Also, this is a work of fiction and only uses influences from The Summer I Turned Pretty. None of the characters from that show/book will appear. Only characters or themes similar to them. I simply made this because I am a fan.)
