Emily is young, trying to figure out what she want out of life, and just needs someone, anyone, to go with her.   Can they finish the trail, together?

The Neverending Hangover by EvelynRaineWhitmore

*Second in the Fire Whiskey series* 'I had been amazed at the connection Brad and I had, and our connection was inexplicable, but this with Rev was something else. It was different but just as impressive. Was I cursed or blessed to have two amazing men that I loved, that loved me back, and that I had incredible connections with? Rev wasn't even bothered by me staying in a relationship with Brad. How was this situation possible? Never in my wildest dreams would I have asked for this entanglement. I loved it, I hated myself for loving it, and I felt so guilty about going behind Brad's back, but I didn't want to stop seeing Rev. I couldn't stop'. Paige's life continues on trajectory for happiness with Brad. Steve and Bre are getting married, everyone is healing from the loss of Drew, and putting aside their past conflicts they are all friends. Then Paige happens to see a suspicious vehicle on her road, so Andy calls Detective Reverty Walker to look into it. He had aided Paige's attempted murder case against Jay, but took off after the Judge let Jay walk, and she hadn't seen Rev since. It turns out Rev had been continuing to dig into Jay's illegal activity over the last four years, and is currently working with the FBI to take him down. As Reverty provides her with protection and teaches her self defense, their former friendship quickly changes into undeniable attraction. Paige is trying to navigate her relationship with Brad, her desire for Rev, and coming to terms with Steve's new chapter, all while trying to prevent herself from being kidnapped by Jay.

The A Team: A Novella by prettyoddGal

I lost someone dear to me in the midst of the Heroin Epidemic hitting MA in the last 3 years that spurred me to write The A Team. It is a reference to Ed Sheeran's song. This story was my grieving process. Without it, I'd be in a maelstrom of emotions that I wouldn't know what to do with. Also, my favorite band, Fall Out Boy, has a physical copy of this story. I gave it to them this past summer at a Meet & Greet in Mansfield, MA for the Boys of Zummer tour. I'd probably bawl my eyes out if I ever hear that they read it, but I don't want to hold out too much hope. They are my second form of coping with anything, and their music gave me the drive to even write the novella. Here's the description: What does it mean to truly learn to love your life again? Rebellious, yet exceptionally intelligent, Eugenia "Janie" Cole, asks herself this every day. Its hard to do such a thing when life deals you a bad deck of cards. Addicted to pain killer, kicked out of her only home for abusing and stealing said pain killers, becoming homeless, and befriending a punk chick by the name of Nina Monroe; a music scene junkie who seems to be just as messed up as her. In the hidden back drop of Boston, Massachusetts, Janie goes in search of her spirituality through parties, drugs, and that one beautiful moment that will explain to her why darkness follows in her footsteps. Will she find it all on her own before her past comes back to haunt her?

• Completed • "You don't know how hard it's been for me. There wasn't a day I didn't think about you." I shivered from his warm breath breezing against my neck. Jay was speaking to me with such sweet words. It was just as painful for me to endure but I couldn't respond to his words. *** An 18 year old girl risks her life to escape from her country but what happens when she approaches a killer for help.. This is my first story and I will upload weekly (Fri. & Sat.) or sometimes earlier. I hope you guys enjoy!♡ Thank you for your support *^^*

Altered by LuellaOpal

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.

One More Step To You by kenseighrae

After six years of taking care of everyone else, Emily no longer knows who she is. At eighteen, Emily gave up her future to care for her sister Julie, who was battling cancer, and Julie's two young daughters. Emily became a surrogate mother, a caretaker, the steady presence the family needed. Then Julie went into remission, recovered, and needed something Emily hadn't expected - Julie needed her sister to let go. Julie needed to reclaim her life, to be a mother to her daughter's again, to pick up the pieces of her life before her illness. Suddenly Emily found herself without a purpose, lost without the survival mode she had been in the last six years, unsure of who she was if she wasn't taking care of other people. She moved apartments, moved towns, and struggled to figure out who she was now, who she wanted to be. Then one day she happened upon a book about the Appalachian Trail, and it sparked a wild, crazy idea. With nothing to lose, Emily sets out to hike the Appalachian Trail, hoping the vast endlessness of the wilderness will help her rediscover who she once was - and the woman she's meant to become. As she journey's through the rugged mountain trails, however, she soon realizes she might not just find herself on this trail... she might also find love.

Addicted by BD_Connoll

"You have no idea how badly I want to make love to you," he responds with a shake of his head. "I love you so much," he continues and my heart melts. "I love you," I whisper back. "Okay, I'm going to make love to you now, Angel. It will hurt a little, so let me know if it hurts too much," he says and leans down to kiss me. "I'll be gentle," he tells me. Keeping his eyes locked on mine he shifts his hips forward slightly and enters inside of me. My mouth widens as he enters, and I feel a slight pinch. He was right, it does hurt, but it's not terrible. "Christ! You're the sun!" he calls out. I watch his face crumble. He buries his face in my neck and then he's above me again, his hands on my cheeks again. ... For 20 year old Alison Scott, love was never something she deemed herself worthy of.
