She is the friend that everyone loves. She is a reliable coworker and family member. Joy always does what she is told and enjoys a mundane life. Getting by is what Joy is good at. And she's lived like that for 25 years.
When she has a chance encounter with Jonah- a person way out of Joy's comfort zone- she relectunaly decides that sometimes there comes a time in life where you just need to go with your gut- thankfully she had some to spare.
A romance where ordinary meets extradionary and all the lessons that teaches us the most important thing about living is to LIVE.

I've seen you (JadenxReaderxJosh)
Jaden's been supportive, just as much as Josh has been. Josh Richards, their roommate and Jaden's best friend. She doesn't know what she would do without both of them. And maybe that's the problem. She wouldn't trade her life for anything in the world, wouldn't trade the chaos, the pain or the struggle. There's a lot she wouldn't trade, a lot of things she wouldn't erase like the feeling of Jaden's skin under her fingers and... And the feeling of Josh's lips against hers. Yeah, maybe that's the problem. Disclaimer: The ages might not fit with Jaden's and Josh's right now following the timeline of the story. I'm sorry. These chapters are snippets of Jaden, Josh and her life, they're in chronical order but each of them can be read on its own. (So, you can read chapter 5, then 2, then 1 etc.) But you should still read chapter 1 before any of the others since it explains how the relationship came to life. Some of them are really long while others are quite short. I wasn't sure if I wanted to post it, so don't be afraid to tell me if you like it and want me to post some of the other chapters. Also, sorry for the mistakes, english is not my first language. Enjoy!Complete
