Emberly remembers like it was just days ago. A love so strong so inexperienced, and her and Elijah believed it would last. Camp. That's where it all began. The whining, the packing of the bags, and being shipped for the whole summer. There. That is where she met Elijah. The love of her life. Or at least the unexpected man of her dreams.
With the age of 13 and Elijah age of 14, what would two minor teens be doing with a word called love? Nothing as you expected right? No these two minor teens turned love into a fictional book. And it all happened by the campfire. By the campfire along with a campfire song.
Which they turned into THEIR campfire song.
Soon enough the love was coming to an end. With Elijah moving down to D.C, their love descended and they never spoke again. 10 years has passed with Emberly turning 23, she took a job at her old camp site. Not realizing Elijah was now the owner, she bumps into him. Will the two lovers reconnect their love again? Or will they just stay friends?

When We Were Us
They were always together-until they weren't. Lyric was his anchor, his safe place. Elijah was her whole world, even when he didn't see it.

But some ties don't break so easily. When their paths cross again, old wounds resurface, and unspoken words hang heavy between them. He had her once and didn't know it. Now he sees her-but she's not the same girl who waited for him. This time, it's his turn to chase. ---
A Past Written in The Stars
Olivia and Ethan's story didn't begin with fireworks. It wasn't a whirlwind romance or an earth-shattering moment of fate. Instead, it started with something simple-two souls crossing paths at just the right time. They met years ago in a way neither of them had planned. It was during a travel retreat, a small group of adventurous strangers brought together for an experience that promised to be both unforgettable and fleeting. A week of exploring a foreign city, learning new cultures, sharing laughter over candlelit dinners, and stealing moments in between. Back then, Olivia had been drawn to Ethan's effortless charm-the way he could talk to anyone, the way his laughter filled a room, the way he always seemed to be looking for the next adventure. And Ethan? He admired Olivia's quiet confidence, her love for creativity, and the way she saw beauty in the smallest things. For seven days, they wandered through bustling streets and hidden alleyways, beneath the glow of city lights and along tranquil coastlines. There had been something unspoken between them, something simmering beneath the surface, but life had a cruel sense of timing. As quickly as the week had begun, it ended. No promises were made. No goodbyes were dramatic. They simply parted, believing that if fate had other plans, it would find a way. But fate, as it seemed, had other ideas. Months turned into years. The real world took over-jobs, responsibilities, the distractions of everyday life. They lost touch, caught up in their own separate journeys. And yet, here they were. On a remote island, thousands of miles away from where their story had begun. The moment Olivia saw him, it was as if time folded in on itself. Every unsaid word, every missed opportunity, every "what if" that had ever lingered between them-it all led to this. This moment. A second chance, written in the tides.Complete
Guarded Hope

She had just graduated high school, suffered through her parents divorce and made what she thought was a simple decision to go camping, alone. Little did she know that this trip would challenge her heart and change her life. Would it be for the better? She would need to confront her past regrets, let go of her fears and become unguarded. Running into Ethan Thompson was the last thing on her mind...until she did. Could he be just what she needed? ***** This story is part of a series: Guarded Hope - book one Waiting for Hope - book two ( not a sequal but written from a different POV) Hope Unguarded - book three (chapters will be posted starting November 2016) Let me start by saying that this is the first story I have ever written.

All that is to say that my writing has really improved since starting this story January of 2016 and I can see my progression.

I'm Accidentally in Love (Fireafy)
Here's a Love Story and if you want more stuff, then Call Me Maybe. I Swear this story is going to be pretty good just like the Shape of You. I'll make this Whenever, Wherever and you'll be quite Amazed with this story and there's probably going to be a few Photograph of things happening, this story is going to be Perfect. I need to stop with these song references, I just made 8 references like damn, wait change that, it's 9 with the title of this story but also technically 10 because there's two songs called Photograph. The characters are in high school and there's some random audition for some random love story and why? Because we need this story to be as cliché as possible. Firey wants to join 'cause he's got nothing better to do but then he finds out Leafy is also trying to audition and with the fact they encounter each other in a game, both are now Accidentally in Love. Is that cliché? Humanized If this story was a movie, it would be rated PG-13, why? Mild swears (damn, crap) and mild romantic themes (Kissing and maybe some make out, who knows?) These ar
