Enter Catalina. She's grown up in the city of Perce her whole life but she knows nothing about it. She throws herself into school focusing solely on the future. Wake up, study, eat, sleep and then repeat. She does what everyone expects of her, what everybody tells her she is.
Then throw a rambunctious twin, Naomi Kirk, hell-bent on showing her what the present has to offer. "I hope there are days where your coffee tastes like magic, your playlist makes you dance, strangers make you smile, and the night sky touches your soul. I hope you fall in love with being alive again."
Life gets pretty crazy when it's tipped on its head.

Altered
Have you ever met someone who alters the course of your life? For good or for bad, they've come in, given and taken, and then- BOOM! Your life was never the same. There's always a change, an altering of reality. When you meet those people, the reality that you've known your whole life is suddenly gone and a new one has taken its place. When those moments happen, there's no going back. You can try to return to the way things were but nothing, and I mean nothing, can take you back to exactly how it was. That's what happened to us. I think that's why we're still trying so desperately to get back to some sort of normalcy. Four years later and we're still on the ground, crawling, in search of the happiness that was lost that June. Summers will never be the same. Midnight walks through my neighborhood will never be the same. Field parties with bonfires and loud music will never be the same. I still don't know why you left and what lead you to the decision you made. What I do know is that we're here. We're alive and we're pushing forward to the future. A future that you're not a part of. But in some ways, I'm glad you're not a part of it. I just wish it wasn't like this. *** TRIGGER WARNING*** SA, abuse, suicide, substance abuse, and mental illness. This is a complete story that is much like life; fast, full of surprises, and not always how we want it to be. This has been a project of mine for over three years. It was self-published on Amazon, but after some issues in publication, I decided to just upload it on here. I hope you fall in love with these characters like I have. The friends in this story are trying to make names for themselves, figure out who they are, who they can trust, how to love, and how to separate themselves from a restrictive community. As in any coming of age story, they will experience growing pains... but will they survive them before its too late? PLEASE READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS.Complete

He Was A Skater Boy [BACK WITH S2]
Robbie Blue hates clichés. And what could be more cliché than transferring to a completely new school in the middle of your senior year? Well, how about transferring to a cotton-candy-colored private school, filled with rich kids who live in mansions and drive sports cars with private chauffeurs? -🪷- Sunny Palm Coast wasn't exactly where 18-year-old Robbie had imagined to spend his final months of high school. A brand new student at Harmony Heart Academy even less. Yet there he was, thrown into the deep end with not a single clue on how to survive this chaos. Amidst all of the unknown, one thing was crystal clear; Robbie would do anything to stay away from clichés. However, this proves to be harder than he had anticipated when he meets the school's self-proclaimed troublemaker, and everything Robbie thought he was certain of now seems as unclear as ever.

Because of Haven Beach
"The moon's really beautiful, if you think about it," I blurted. "Yeah?" he asked, mild amusement and curiosity mingling in his voice. "Yeah," I confirmed. "It's just- there's something about the moon that's ethereal. I don't really know how to describe it, but it's a constant in life. You can't always see it, but you have to trust that it's out there somewhere. And when you can see it, it's all bright and shiny and overcomes the darkness." I paused, searching for the right words. "I don't know. I guess it's a reminder that there are good things out there, even if you can't see them... And it's cool to think that someone hundreds of miles away is staring at the exact same moon as you. It makes me feel not so alone in life." Turning my head, I saw him staring at me intently with a thoughtful look on his face. "Too deep for a Friday night?" I laughed nervously, feeling my face grow hot. And this was precisely why I didn't go to parties. He shook his head and seemed to snap out of his daze. "It was deep in a good way." *** SHE was quiet & left out.
