The Lonely Stars
Ellie has always isolated herself from love. Very few people ever heard those three words uttered from her mouth. She isn't cold, in fact, Ellie is known to be friendly and social. Yet, when Reid Foster moves to town, he seems determined to know each one of Ellie's secrets. Will Ellie let go of her fears and give in to love or will she forever be apart of the lonely stars. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Why are you avoiding me?" Reid asks. His voice cuts through the quiet like a stone thrown into still water. "I'm not avoiding you. I've just been busy this week," I reply quickly, hugging my arms around myself as I turn toward the gravel path. Before I can get far, his hand shoots out, and he steps in front of me. The crunch of his shoes on the stones makes me freeze. "That's bullshit, Ellie. And we both know it." His words hang heavy in the cool night air. I keep my gaze fixed on the dark line of trees behind him, anywhere but his eyes. But then he leans in, and I catch the warm cedar scent of his jacket. My throat tightens. "You're scared," he says, softer now, but closer. "You think that one day I'll just up and leave...like your mom." The mention of her is a knife I wasn't ready for. My breath stutters. "I've tried to show you how much I care," he continues, eyes locked on mine. "But all you ever do is pull away. Do you know how much that hurts?" The cicadas drone on, indifferent to my silence. My legs want to move, to bolt into the darkness, but I can't. His words root me to the spot.Complete

Why We Laugh (#Wattys2018)
"The laugh cracked loudly into the school's atrium, like a shot of a gun. A quick bullet. A deadly bullet the pierces through flesh and bone. I realized then... that a laugh was as lethal as a bullet." I thought bullying didn't exist. And if it did, I wasn't a bully. Except I was. We all were. Not because we beat kids up. Or we called people freaks. Or gave them swirlies. Because we never did that. It was because we laughed." For these three kids, a playful laugh cuts deeper than a fist ever would. And the worst part is...they laugh along. 1.Eliza hides behind the brightest smile and stuttered words. 2.Reece desires the perfect body and will destroy himself to do it. 3.Hunter is the bad boy with sick suicidal jokes, screwing both Prozac and girls. But it is more than just those three: 4.London sits in her wheelchair trying to be normal 5. Ashton needs to return to the surface of people and stop cowering in the digital world 6. Griffith hides his autistic emotions. The story is told by a girl who always laughs. Drama, love, pain, tears, laughter, depression, weaknesses. We all laugh. But what does our laugh truly effect? "Hands down this is the best book I've read on wattpad. I don't even know what to say. I mean... I just....
