On our fifteenth birthday, Justin Goldwater disappeared from the face of the Earth. 
Not completely. Not in the way bubbles or rainwater disappear. 
He lingered. I caught snatches of him in restaurants when he wasn't there. I saw him when I squinted too hard or thought too much. He was always at the back of my mind, in the bookstore window.  An unscratchable itch. A never-healing scab.  He was never really gone. Not for me, anyway. 

On our eighteenth birthday, he returned all ash and eternal flame. 
For the first time, I let him in.All Rights Reserved

Vanished by Booping123

(Book 1) Everyone over the age fifteen in the small town of Simcoe has vanished. No warning. No explanation. No trace. Cellphones won't turn on. Websites won't load. The news has gone silent. Every adult is simply gone. Cut off from the outside world and possibly the last survivors on earth, the remaining children are left to fend for themselves. Some act out recklessly. Others try to control. New bullies and victims rise, and secrets once buried begin to resurface. But the disappearance isn't the only threat. Stranges powers are awakening in some of them. Something toxic flows through that's unnatural, dangerous, and spreading. As chaos tightens its grip on Simcoe, hope of rescue begins to fade. For those fourteen and under, normal life us over.

[ A COMPLETED 2020 TEEN MYSTERY ] Life can take a turn for the worst when you least expect it, spiralling deeply out of control in mere days. It's hard to see the signs sometimes; it may be personality changes, or even just an odd remark, but if we don't recognise these differences then grave consequences await us. It could be failing an important test, missing a friend's birthday, but sometimes people take it a little too far... A text. A fire. A killer. Who can we really trust in this world? And do we need to look closer to sense great deception? _________________________ Achievements: 🥈Second Place in the EC Awards - Mystery/Thriller Rated Eighty Plus in Shreya's Book Reviews 🥈 Second Place in the Carnation Awards - Mystery/Thriller 🥇 First Place in The Candle Light Awards _________________________ (Cover by @-carawrites) (Images found from the internet, credits to Lily Collins and party) All Rights Reserved.

White Lies (Book 1) by help-me-think-of-one

Jesabel is a liar. When her only friend mysteriously disappears, she does what comes naturally. She keeps her truth from the world. Without warning, she is thrown into a web of lies far more dangerous and lethal than anything she could imagine. With an annoyingly charming boy by her side, can she unravel what she refuses to tell - the truth? WHITE LIES HAS BEEN REVISED, EDITED AND REWORKED! Happy late new year, friends! I'd like to take this opportunity to announce that White Lies, a story that has been up and running on Wattpad since 2011, has been re-written and revised for the coming decade. What does this mean? This entails the same characters you know and love, with better flow, better writing, more nuanced character development, more mature content, and entirely different plot lines. Jesabel's character has changed drastically since I last introduced her to the world (nearly NINE years ago! yikes!), and I wanted to make this story a more nuanced and modern take. When I had written White Lies, I had been just 14 years old. And I've done a ton of growing, learning, and unlearning over the years. This means that my characters have grown and developed with me. If you are an old friend and re-reader - welcome, and please enjoy the same old story you love with a brand new take! If you have started along this White Lies journey beginning in December and all throughout January, you might have read a half-edited and half-original version of the story. So please feel free to re-read at your leisure! I won't bite, I promise.

Knowing the Kidnapper (bxb) by BandsOrBust

There was something off about this game of hide and seek, I did not hear Jasmines' laughing when I was at her favourite hiding spot. He bit his lip and kissed my cheek, making me blush a deep shade of red. Seeing my reflection made me want to smash the mirror in, so i did. The pain flew through my body, making me yelp in pain. Jeff burst through the door, holding me in his arms. 'I thought Jeff was supposed to be a killer, not a kind, helpful fellow.' I thought This is one of my popular books on quotev and is in no way a copyright violation. If you are to see any anywhere other than here or on my quotev, (link is in my bio) report it.

Tightrope by dearrheartbreak

Becca and Will were once best friends. From immediately clicking at the school bus stop at five-years-old, to bonding over their love for hockey and future ambitions, it was always Becca and Will. Will and Becca. Even as they navigated the toughest parts of their lives, they could always count on each other. Becca had met Will when she had needed him the most, and Becca stood by Will through the times he could barely keep it together with everything going on at home. Nevertheless, as inseparable as they were, Becca one day simply disappeared. She left without explaining or even saying goodbye, and Will never heard from her again. That is, until eleven years later, she showed up at his team's arena, where he was the star player for the Chicago Whispers, claiming she was the new team publicist. Eleven years of silence made Will want nothing to do with her, but still, she pushed and held onto their lingering love for each other, determined to explain everything and get back in his life, even if it means walking the tightrope that hangs between their past life and the present. Still, as time passes and life stories are exchanged, Becca and Will might just realize that they aren't meant to be best friends this time around. Maybe, just maybe, they are meant to be so much more. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED TO @dearrheartbreak NAME Val R
