Two years after her mother passed away from breast cancer, Shayla finally decides to sell the beach house that she spent many summers at while growing up.

Going back to Wilmington, North Carolina wasn’t supposed to be complicated, but after eighteen years, she realizes that the house is alive with forgotten feelings from a much simpler time.

While packing up her old room Shayla stumbles upon a diary left by an innocent seventeen-year-old girl on the cusp of adulthood who wrote down every thought and every feeling from that faithful summer.

It was the summer when she experienced her first sweet love—and her first very real and very painful heartbreak.

Now Shayla finds herself surrounded by memories she’d rather leave behind, but now that she’s holding them in her hand, she just can’t seem to let them go.

“Southern Lights” is a story about the power of first love, and proof that over time, absence truly can make the heart grow fonder.All Rights Reserved

Because of Haven Beach by GemmaMari10

"The moon's really beautiful, if you think about it," I blurted. "Yeah?" he asked, mild amusement and curiosity mingling in his voice. "Yeah," I confirmed. "It's just- there's something about the moon that's ethereal. I don't really know how to describe it, but it's a constant in life. You can't always see it, but you have to trust that it's out there somewhere. And when you can see it, it's all bright and shiny and overcomes the darkness." I paused, searching for the right words. "I don't know. I guess it's a reminder that there are good things out there, even if you can't see them... And it's cool to think that someone hundreds of miles away is staring at the exact same moon as you. It makes me feel not so alone in life." Turning my head, I saw him staring at me intently with a thoughtful look on his face. "Too deep for a Friday night?" I laughed nervously, feeling my face grow hot. And this was precisely why I didn't go to parties. He shook his head and seemed to snap out of his daze. "It was deep in a good way." *** SHE was quiet & left out.

Moments that define us by CSteagall

I can remember the fear of the tree falling in front of my car, after it was struck by lightning. I can remember how it felt, cold rain on a summer afternoon pounded on my skin as I stepped out of my car. I was headed home to my parents house after graduating college. I remember the security I felt when he showed up, and told me everything would be okay, and to stay in my car. I remember the rain stopping and him getting to work removing the tree. I remember when his gray eyes looked into my green ones, as he woke me up to tell me it was clear. I remember my heart never beat the same after him.
