Ravenclaw_Pride002

Senior year had never seemed so daunting. 

After her sister died, Avery found out just how much she hid behind Riley and how comfortable it had been to live through her stories instead of living her own.

Realizing that and making a change, however, were two different things, as Avery soon understood. But life had not given her much of a choice.

Maintaining a safe distance between herself and all those who used to know Riley was her miserable attempt at dealing with the grief. But she saw her strategic plan crumble, forced to face the friends she had been pushing away.    

The year she believed she could breeze through was revealing itself to be the year she must face all the pain she had been repelling. 

And there was no one to hide behind now.

Seven Weeks to Forever (Love / Romance) by JenniferFarwell

Love? No thanks. Cassidy Jordan won't open her heart to anyone after a devastating romance caused her death the first time she turned eighteen. As a second-timer returned from the afterlife, all that stands between her and eternity is finding some guy named Riley Davis and helping him get his life on track. But no one told her helping Riley would mean dating him. When Cassidy realizes she's falling for Riley, she's faced with a choice: give him the life he's meant for and leave this life when it's time, or give up eternity for the true love she's never had, knowing Riley will die the same way she did in her first life and that her entire existence could end at any time. From Chapter Nine: It's as though I'm under a spell as I put one foot in front of the other, feeling Riley's hand pressed against the small of my back. My body is going crazy with the tingling I feel. I must stumble, because he steadies me and we stop a few feet away from my front door. I find myself moving even closer to him, and for a moment, I'm not Cassidy. There's something familiar in the energy I feel. Riley's face blurs in front of me, and then there's the outline of a face I used to know well. The outline I can see looks like David. The last time I stood in a driveway about to kiss someone, it was him. I want to say his name, but I can't move my lips. Then my vision clears and it's Riley in front of me again, his head bending down and his eyes holding mine. The energy pull between us is magnetic, and I hold my breath when his fingertips come up to my chin. This can't happen. I try to tell myself that, but the rest of me isn't listening. My eyes close and every nerve in my body seems to hum as I wait for what's coming. Teen Romance / Supernatural Romance / Paranormal Romance / Young Adult Romance

Fresh Wounds by DMichelletheewriter

"...I took deep breaths, as silent as I could. My cheek burned from the cut drew by her wedding ring and the blood dripped down onto the floor around my shoe...Too afraid to move, I stood still; my bloody wound could wait..." Kimberly, at the young age of 15, has already developed her natural survival instincts beyond the average ADULT capabilities. She cares for herself as well as her younger sister, Olivia and it isn't ever a walk in the park for the two girls. Did I mention she lives with alcoholic and abusive parents? Survival under the same roof as the alcoholic and short tempered couple begins to look more challenging by the day...especially after a traumatic event that makes life unbelievably worse. And each time she attempts to run, every punishment upon recapture is worst than the last...being starved and beaten becomes a norm. After failing to escape 3 times with her sister, Kimberly has now built up the confidence and is driven to plan a fourth escape. Is it worth risking not only her own life but her younger sisters life as well? Wasn't the third time meant to be "a charm"? Will the fourth be the last time? Is there life after or inevitable death? "...There's no stepping back or running from your fate..." **Updates based on reads, so share the story with your friends and COMMENT!! DO NOT STEAL, LEGAL ACTION WILL BE TAKEN** -Enjoy, Adia

Violet [Under Editing] by YourAcetylCholine

"Nothing. You didn't do anything," I whispered, turning my gaze back to the movie and intending to end the conversation there. He reached for my face with his left hand which was nearest to me, and gently turned it back to face him. The feel of his hands on my face, brought a whole new feeling to me. "Then why?" I held his hand firmly and removed it from my face. "Consider it natural," I said. Sure, immense hatred for someone could be natural. Unconsciously, my eyes moved down to his lips then back to his eyes. "That's not true." "Yes, it is," I said, still whispering, and trying to pay attention to the movie. "No, it isn't." He was being so argumentative. "There's something you're not telling me and I'm not gonna force you but I'm just gonna let you know that if you thought I'd give up on you so easily, you thought wrong, violet." My brows instantly furrowed in confusion and I turned my full attention to him. Is this guy insane? "What are you talking about?" He laughed a little, then relaxed back on the chair. "I think I'm addicted to you." *~* Avery, a teenager with an immense hate for males, finds her hatred breaking into pieces when she gets teamed up with charming Ian on the basketball team. Ian, on the other hand, while trying to satisfy his thriving queries as to why Avery behaved the way she did, finds himself falling completely for her as her past and reasons for her behaviour unfolds before him.

Self-reliant and brutally honest, she refuses to let anything get in her way. Not an increasingly distant twin brother, not a best friend she hasn't seen in months, and certainly not the things people start to say about her at school...

A new start that they all needed. Skye's plan was to blend in and keep to herself. Well, not the easiest task when it was obvious as daylight that you were the new girl at school. Especially when she, literally, bumped into Ethan. For Ethan who has been isolating himself and absolutely independent that he pushed everyone away, and Skye being stubborn and not in-the-least shy on saying what she thought openly, fighting and bickering was unpreventable.

Her Brother's Best Friend - Aching Hearts Series #2 by TheWritingWolf1

If asked, baby Emily Robinson would have gleefully said that, her life revolved around two cornerstones: volleyball, Riley. Volleyball was the passion that gave her life. Riley was the "special friend" that fueled said passion and offered an otherwise insecure, shy little girl the means to grow up strong, confident, badass. Professional volleyball was a dream close to becoming true. Riley was reality. The most reassuring one. If asked, Emily would have said, she could not live without those two. That's why when, in a matter of months, she loses both, Emily's life starts spiraling down. The self consciousness about her looks goes from easily containable to fullout war waging deep inside her, menacing to bring her down any minute. So when, four years later, Riley comes back, he finds that his cutely shy Honeybee has turned into a beautiful quasi woman that is inexplicably paralyzed by fears. How can he help her regain the strength she had? And what happens when he starts realizing that indeed, his Honeybee is no longer a child, she's become a dangerously attractive girl. How can he help her fight her demons, without letting his mind and heart stray? He can't fall for the same child he used to babysit ... or can he? Highest rank #14 in General Fiction (04/08/2017)
