Navigating love in your 20's is cliche and shitty. Syd Castillo knows that well. After an abrupt (and anticipated) split from her boyfriend, Elijah, of half a decade, she finds herself in a strange place. She can't just cut emotion out of the situation- but she can always deduct herself, right? Makes one wonder- what what would you do, all alone? Masturbating. High. Wild.
Searching for the good time- her endless high - has gotten her into the same position time and time again. But after meeting an interesting man, Teddy, with a similar past - things begin to take a change.
Follow the story of Syd; her self deprecating, agonizing pain - finding the root of her fucked up coping mechanisms and learning to take the plunge into the unknown abyss that just waits inside all of us.
This is a story for in-betweeners : all of us who struggle to be better with no clue how.

I frowned and he gently held my cheeks in his hand. "I won't forget, Annabelle. I promise that before then, when I am 18, I'll come back here. And that spot in the woods is now our place. Ours and only ours. Whenever you miss me, just go to that spot and smile at every memory. You promise to do that and I promise I won't forget." "Pinky Promise?"

Falling Apart
*TRIGGER WARNING: DEALS WITH DEPRESSION, SELF HARM AND SUICIDE* Amber is sixteen years old and to sugarcoat it... She hasn't had the best upbringing. She would love a different life, one where she can see her mother again and not be stuck with her abusive father. A life where she doesn't get taunted and hit and torn apart by everyone who she has ever seen. But she would never swap, she doesn't want anyone to endure the pain she's gone through. So instead, she tries to get rid of it... Again. But much to her disbelief, she is saved by the people she would least expect. She learns secrets about them that no one else knows. She feels included. Cared for. And dare I say it... She felt loved. For once in her life, she felt truly happy to be alive. But just when Amber felt safe, her life was flipped upside down and her past came back to haunt her just when she least expected it...

Unhealthy Obsession |18+|
-Let's get this straight. From a dead end job to a useless crazy ex boyfriend- my happiness is with my best friend yet the fear of our relationship ending completely scares me and id rather fake it and be in fear than find out and never be happy. It sucks, seeing him everyday and knowing what i feel for him and how deep those feelings go is painful...- But when he comes around everything changes for the best and for the worst. As a whole they are deeply loved and equally as hated by others but the love from one another is undeniable, if only she wasnt so selfish with her choices and words- -Lying, cheating, sneaking, crying- many acts and emotions come from within when there's someone you love unaware of that love.. Possibly growing to love someone else right before your eyes..Its gut wrenching, i know because ive fucked up. Its worse when you're aware of the harm you cause yourself and others but dont care how the outcome turns out to be. Why would it matter how it effects you if youre used to pain and people leaving? it wouldnt. All because you take comfort in your own mind and mental illness, once you realize you have freewill it may become a bad thing if youre careless.- - Gabriella White.Complete

One day you're happy, and the next, a freak accident exposes your boyfriend's dirty little secrets in the worst possible way. I lost the man I loved, my trust in people, and my home in less than one afternoon. At least I know that I've pushed past unimaginable pain before, and I can do it again. Elijah didn't break me, just my heart. 💔🔨 So, the LAST thing I needed was to run into my ex's best friend, Gray on the street. Who cares if he's hotter than lava? Gray's a cocky jerk who seems to get a misguided kick out of making my blood boil. And did I mention the guy's got a chip on his tattooed shoulder even bigger than his inflated ego? Unfortunately, I just found out that I accidentally hired him to work on the BIGGEST campaign of my career!💀 But when Gray's prismatic eyes fill with heartfelt apologies, I don't know how to feel. It's messing with my mind, my career, my new friendships, and worst of all, it's hurting what's left of my ruined heart. I thought Gray hated me, but I was wrong...There is something much, much stronger that binds our fate. 🥊💕 This book contains adult themes (aka sexy stuff and trigger content) as well as Oxford commas and the occasional grammatical error. 🥊💕 **This is a complete story that I am currently in the process of editing, so feedback, notes, and helpful comments are always welcome.

Born in prison, in love with a cliché.
COMPLETE✔️ "I'm wondering how many years you still have to be here. You've already been here quite a while Gather. Such a shame for a pretty girl like you to be locked up here." He catches a stray of my hair and puts it behind my ear. I can feel a blush creeping up my cheeks, so I catch his wrist and push it hard away from me. I lean in close to him and look him straight in the eyes. "Touch me one more time and I'm afraid you'll never be a free man again Bryne." Davina grew up in prison when her mother got sentenced for first-degree murder. When she turns eighteen her mother finally doesn't have custody over her anymore, which means she can leave. The only problem is that she has never lived in the real world. And now she also has to share an apartment with the one guy she resents the most. Zach Bryne. What will the real world offer her and what happens when her father wants to be part of her life? __________________________________________ Warning ⚠︎︎ This story contains mature content and language.
