As the brothers share an apartment together, Miles has three goals: write in his journal every day, cope with his bipolar disorder, and win the heart of the beautiful Selina Vixen.

But everything is not what it seems. . .

Walk With Me by Olivezpicklez

(DISCONTINUED) I walked all the way to the park. I waited every day for at least thirty minutes. I walked back my confidence withering. Every. Single. Time. I was tired of waiting, I had my hopes up for way too long. One more walk, one more wait. He will be there. And he was. Lost on the path of not only life but her own decisions, Harlow Swan takes a chance to find her long lost friend, or crush, should I say. Meeting up with him again after two years, she realizes that maybe life wasn't so bad after all, and maybe there were some things that weren't as horrible as she thought. But not long after, things begin to go downhill, and her hopes begin to crumble. Harlow thinks that maybe once she's put her life back together, along with her hope, maybe everything would be normal again. But maybe everything wasn't meant to be normal, maybe it was all meant to be awful and way too truthful for her liking. It isn't just any normal story, after all; it's hers.

The Sun And The Stars •completed• by chaitialatte

Audrey Kepler wants to breathe, to run, to live. It should be a given, after all, a gift everyone receives at birth. The day she gets on the bus is the day she finally admits to herself that being alive and living are two separate things. And Audrey wants to live. When she meets Eli Davis, a mysterious, quiet, and timid boy, she assumes that they are opposites. But, they are more similar than she could have ever imagined. Eli wants to live, he thinks. He at least wants to taste what it's like before he decides. She was the sun; warm, bright, radiant, and full of the purest light. He was the stars; distant and scarce, yet fascinating and effervescent if you took the time to look closely enough. They seem so different at first glance, the sun and the stars, but they are just alike.

Harper's Rules 1 & 2 by still_just_me

We're not in love. Our past is a dumpster fire. The best we are is friends with benefits... without the friends' part. Jake Harrison, USC's star quarterback, goes through girls faster than jock straps. If that's not disgusting enough, he's my best friend's brother and my prime motivation for celibacy. Transferring to UCLA means finally getting out of my dad's house. All I want is to stay under the social radar, make Dad proud by earning my paralegal certification, and get out of Los Angeles. When Jake learns I'm nearby, the cocky jerk will stop at nothing to rekindle what didn't work before. He thinks he's grown and matured past the boy who crushed my teenage heart. I think he's taken too many tackles into the turf, but when he proposes a stress management agreement during his season... I can't help but see his point. His seven-and-a-half-inch point. The last time we indulged, we got sloppy. Not the good kind-soul-crushing feelings-sloppy. My brain knows cutting ties was for the best, but the rest of my body still hates me. But I won't be made a fool again. This time, I have rules: No attachment. No cuddles. And no falling in love. Yet, when treacherous feelings resurface, I do the worst thing possible-Break my own rules. This time, whoever falls first isn't getting back up. Story is complete.

Her Playbook Lesbian Story by WeWillC

All chapters of this book are posted 12.23.24 - 1.2.25 Happy holidays, Elle. Elle has decided that the best way to navigate her world is by following a rigid set of rules. She is disciplined, cautious, and has trust issues. Payton is a driven psychology graduate student who, when her younger brother comes to live with her, discovers that parenting a high school athlete has both its challenges and its perks. A/N: I wanted to see if I could write a short story about a relationship that develops emotionally and physically but in which there is no declaration of love. It was hard ... and not so short. You'll see a familiar character in this one get a tiny nugget of an update. I'm moving to a different strategy in publishing and access. I will open up some combination of my 12 completed books on special dates throughout the year for FREE through Amazon/Kindle Unlimited. I will post dates here on Wattpad. I will leave the first 5 chapters of each book available here so you can see if the storyline hits for you. Thank you to all my readers I am so grateful to have grown in this community. And I appreciate all your feedback, moral support, and patronage. Elle Watts
