Alex doesn't remember clearly when she met Miles, nor does she remember the exact moment she fell in love with him. But she does remember the little things, all the moments that led up to her falling for Miles, the moments that made her realise that this, is love.
She remembers the things that led up to the moment she stood in the airport, watching Miles walk away. Waiting for him to turn around, begging for one last look at that beautiful smile she came to love more than anything else in the world.

Cynical Souls
COMPLETED✅ Two high school teenagers finding themselves, analyzing this ever changing world, and building love. This is the type of love you wish you found in high school but probably know way too well that it only exists as fiction. Today I'm turning my fiction to reality. ❣️•••❣️ Excerpt: Just as I was about to seek shelter under some building's roof, the tires of a car come to a halt, I wonder who might pity the lonely girl walking in the rain. The passenger window rolls down, and I spot the most unexpected person seated behind the wheel. "Get in" comes out his voice, and I must've stood there agape for a few moments because next comes his rhetorical question. "Are you getting in or continuing walking in the rain?" Eyebrows raised expectantly. He sounds annoyed, like he regrets his decision to ever stop and help me. ❣️•••❣️ #5 in cynical #2 in loveandfriendship #1 in opinionated #4 in ihatelife #10 in nerdgirl #10 in HighschoolRomance #26 in GoodGirlBadBoy *contains mature themes. *contains cursing.Complete
The Girl Next Door
The Girl Next Door Alex McCartney, 18, had always been a good kid-at least, that's how people saw him. With his well-mannered smile and steady presence, he was the pride of his single mother, Emily. His athletic frame, the kind that turned heads at school, and his easy charm made him the type of young man everyone wanted their daughter to date. But beneath the surface, Alex wasn't the golden boy they thought he was. He was more than just the "good kid." He had his own secrets, his own battles, and a side to him that no one, except maybe the girl next door, could ever truly understand. She was everything they said she was-naughty, heartless, disobedient. The type of girl who would break all the rules just to see the world burn. But to Alex? She was more than that. She was the fire that made him feel alive, the one who pulled him out of the shadows of his perfect world and into something raw and real. They say opposites attract, but when it came to him and her, the line between good and bad blurred completely. And this? This was just the beginning.

Kiss Me
---------------------------- Alex never thought she could love anybody. Her family left her to foster care, and she hasn't been able to ever make any real friends. She plans to live a simple boring life, possibly until death comes for her, but is that what she really wants. No, perhaps she just needs someone... someone she never realized was just around the corner from her life. Shirley has had a great life up until now, at least she likes to think so. She does prefer looking at things through a more positive lens, so things like her debilitating health conditions seem to slip her by. Eating less food could only be a good thing right? Well, soon she would learn, not only to take better care of herself, but also to love. An experience she has yet to discover, until her lingering eyes fall far too long on one particular girl. ~~~~~ Wendy was the sweetest girl alive, with simply no one to share the overwhelming stream of love she had to share. When a storm hits her town, she's locked inside, desperate and alone for what seems to be an eternity. But unbeknownst to her, this would bring her closer to love than ever before. Marissa was getting over her past trauma, and only games could ever do that for her. During yet another month of locking herself up in her room, she found someone who was different, a light through the darkness that was her life, an angel, to save her tortured soul from damnation. At least, that's how she might phrase it. ---------------------------- The title was chosen years ago, so I decided to leave it be and combine these two stories. This will be a moderate length mini story for the two couples, exploring their journeys which happen at completely separate times. These are the untold stories of our side characters from my other book's shared universe, but reading those two books are not exactly necessary to enjoy this one. Either way, this is made for those who want to know more about these characters, so please enjoy.Complete

BEGAN: MARCH 2 2018 FINISHED: APRIL 6 2018 Featured on Wattpad's Contemporary Rising Page This is a first draft manuscript that I realised is no longer a piece I connect with. However, a lot of hours went into it and I feel it deserves a bit more than being hidden in my documents folder so here it is in all it's messy glory. I'm also sharing for my beta readers who have been patiently awaiting an update and were desperate to read the next chapter despite it not being anywhere near submission worthy. So, thank you guys for the support on this piece but for now, it's time to work on a different story... and a new genre! Stay tuned!Complete
