Riley Delta can't seem to keep her head above water.

As an art student lacking in inspiration and living off of sad minimun wage, she can barley keep up with her physical life, let alone her mental life. She's coping how she can, burying herself in shifts at The Rough Grind and surfing in between class, but some how her memories seem to always find a way to drown her in an ocean of anxiety, no matter how fast she swims away from them.

Jeremiah Rolend can't seem to focus on himself.

His family is never away from his thoughts, no matter how many times they tell him not to worry. He is weighted with a guilty conscience from his past, and moments from his present, only pushing through his college years at the request of his younger brother. He knows his problems are not his own, but he somehow he keeps taking them onto himself, no matter how much he knows he shouldn't.All Rights Reserved

The sunflower |✔️ by barbiegirl69

She was a shy naive girl when everyone first met her or so they thought. After that first day of school they start to notice that she's different then she looks to be but will she show her true self or stay the shy naive girl people think she is. What happens when she finally has enough of being the shy, depressed, guilt filled, daydreamer girl that she changed herself into. What happens when she has to transfer to the same school as her best friend Jacob who's in the same friend group as the schools "bad" boy who's also dating the worst bully she's ever had. Like a sunflower will she blossom to her full beauty or will she stay in her shell read to find out. Possible abuse, smut, drugs, self harm, sexual assault, smoking, cursing, dirty but not nude pictures and more. I tried to put ⚠️ emoji on any chapter containing self harm, smut, abuse, sexual assault, etc. Would not recommend unless 18+ years old and not sensitive to sensitive content.

Fading Shadows by Crystal720002

Emery Carter wasn't supposed to survive that night. She left home hoping for a fresh start-new school, new city, new life. No one here knows the truth about the night that nearly ended it all. As far as everyone else is concerned, she's just another college girl trying to outrun her past. And she's fine keeping it that way. Then there's Silas Maddox. Arrogant. Infuriating. Completely off-limits. He's her brother's roommate, which means he's already too close for comfort. But with his sharp smirks, reckless charm, and an attitude that dares her to push back, staying away from him is impossible. The more she fights it, the more he gets under her skin. And when cracks begin to show in his untouchable exterior, Emery realizes she might not be the only one with secrets. Because Silas has demons too-ones that run deeper than she ever could have imagined. The son of a powerful man, raised in the shadow of a tragedy no one talks about. He's spent years making sure no one gets too close. Until her. She swore she'd never let anyone in again. He swore he wasn't capable of caring. But the lines between them are blurring, and they're both about to break every rule they've ever known. Will they heal each other-or will they be the final push that makes them fall apart?

Gem in the Rough by NeverEndingLie24

"Did you know that you just pull me in? I can't stop thinking about you." Kieran's eyes are shut, his head against the back of the couch, while making his confession. I guess he had moved in the few moments I'd been in my own thoughts. "Is that a bad thing? I feel it too." He opens one eye and grins. "No, I don't think so. I just don't know if I'm ready." "Ready?" It's silent for a few moments before I feel his warm, rough palm on my bare thigh. It's like all my senses are ignited when he touches me. All I can feel is his hand, all I can smell is his beautiful manly scent, and all I can see is him in front of me, the rest of the world invisible. "Is it okay that I'm touching you?" I let out a deep breath and lean closer, whispering near his ear. "Is it okay that I want you to touch me more?" Kieran's eyes open, his blazing blues stare into my dark brown ones, a slight growl coming from his throat. That growl will be the death of me. -- Gemma is a junior in college who is focused on work and school. There's no time for anything else according to her father and it begins to weigh on her heavily.

It All Started With a Diary by leshae051304

I anticipated every breath, and every word. Each day, you could only take an uneducated guess at what he would say. What he would do. My heart tremor as he leaned in. "I was wrong, sweetheart. I was so wrong," he whispered, the words tickling my ears. "Because with you, there are no doubts. Only love, so, so much love. And, I will spend every single day, every minute, and every fucking second proving that I deserve it." *** Kimberly Wrighton, the new girl who is desperate to make it through her senior year with as little issue as possible. The girl with a diary containing her insecurities, her secrets, and her true self. Kade Ryder, the typical popular guy who feeds off of fights, anger, and violence. The guy that gets whatever he wants, no matter who or what he has to destroy in order to get it. The bad boy that girls swoon over. The guy with a heart so cold, he would laugh in the face of someone's insecurities. This time, though, Kade had gone too far. What if the most rudest, arrogant, popular, and most beautiful man in your school took your diary? What if he read every thought, every bare emotion, and every word of it? What if, in the venture to get it back, you begin to see the real man behind the cold, hard exterior, the real you, and the real truth?

The Badboy Smokes by Whos_that_again

*under construction, recent name change (Jenna and Lib is the same person)* '"Hollie, when I first saw you, I thought of you as a rabbit. A quiet aspect of nature that eats grass," Jayce says, "You see a rabbit all the damn time because they're everywhere. But whenever you see one, you can't help but say 'bunny!' because it's even adorable when they try to be threatening." "It's Lee," I answer, and turn to go find Jenna.' Hollie intends to keep her senior year of highschool as lowkey as possible. She decides that she'll avoid all unnecessary drama and work hard on her grades--afterall, she needs to get into a good college. Her plan is disturbed by the private school transfer student who goes by Jayce. Jayce was expelled from his private school after getting caught smoking weed in the bathroom. This is the exact opposite type of energy that Hollie needs in her life. But maybe she can make an exception. 'I move a little so I don't get hit by a mass of anger and all things bad and evil that comes to a physical shape called Jayce. Markus has stood up by now, glaring at him, though he has a little fear in his eye. I feel that this is how everyone feels when they look at Jayce--angry, but afraid.'

Running Parallel by Whimsically_Me

It never should have happened Nineteen-year-old Luke may have pined over his best friend, Caleb, for the last few years, but he always thought Caleb wasn't interested. Until the night of the party, when he drank himself stupid to ignore his breaking heart, and he woke up in bed, alone, with the memory of what they'd done. In the days that follow, Luke grows more and more frustrated. Caleb only ever alludes to that night in indirect ways, and Luke can't understand why. He wants to talk to Caleb about it, but it's nearly impossible, especially when Caleb's busy smiling down at his phone. When tension between them finally hits its breaking point, Luke learns a devastating secret, one that Caleb hadn't even known he'd been keeping. Because the boy Luke slept with at the party? It wasn't Caleb. Twenty-one years old, still living at home and working nights as a shelf stocker at the local grocery store, Connor is Caleb's older brother. Quiet and watchful, he studies people and tries to act like them, but something is always missing. Like being the last to hear the punchline. He goes through his days by following a routine and avoiding other people. It's not always easy with a social butterfly for a brother. He hadn't meant to lie. Hadn't even known he was lying until after. But by then, it was too late. He knew he couldn't tell the truth or he'd risk hurting those around him. Two versions of that night happened, but only one can be true.
