At age seventeen, I suppose I'm what's referred to as an online sensation. Since I created my own YouTube channel two years ago, I have accumulated over ten million subscribers. To my followers, I'm the 'Pretty Mess Princess'. My brand is make-up and beauty. I vlog about my everyday life.

Online, I appear to live a glamorous life. Offline, I'm just December Jones, a homeschooled, introverted, Texan teen who hides from the world in front of the camera lens. Until my mentor and friend--one of the world's most famous makeup and hair stylists--offers me an opportunity I can't refuse. To be her apprentice, her assistant hair and makeup artist for the famous band she works for.  

Erosion Road.

The most famous five boys in the world. A British boyband who have taken the music industry by storm. Legions of fans follow their every move. Their lives are no longer their own.

I had no idea what to expect when I flew from Austin, Texas to join Erosion Road's European tour. Turns out, most of them are sweet and boisterous and kind. Some have even become my closest friends.

Then there's Jack.

Jack Summers, the eighteen-year-old mysterious brooding heartthrob who launches millions of teenage girls into a frenzy with just one look. Jack Summers, the boy who has turned my life upside down. 

The situation between Jack and I is... complicated.  

From the second we met, things between us were strained. These days? We can only be described as a mess... a complete and utter mess.

Resilience by WhoisJr02

I never planned on telling my story. Truth is, I've spent most of my life holding it in, swallowing the pain, laughing off the shade, putting on a mask when deep down I was fighting battles no one could see. But the older I got, the more I realized silence can eat you alive. And if I don't tell it raw and unfiltered, then who will? This book isn't polished for perfection. It's not sugarcoated, it's not dressed up to make anyone comfortable. It's me, The struggles, the lessons, the laughter, the embarrassing moments, the heartbreaks, the love, the shady comebacks, the nights I thought I wouldn't make it, and the mornings I woke up ready to fight again. I named this book Resilience because that's exactly what my life has been about. No matter how many times I was knocked down by people I loved, by family pressure, by toxic love, by my own mistakes, I got back up. Bruised, maybe. Bitter, sometimes. But never broken. So if you're holding this book, know this is, you're not reading some perfect fairytale. You're stepping into my world. One filled with chaos, comedy, culture, love, and pain that shaped me into the person I am today. And maybe, just maybe, you'll find pieces of yourself in these pages too. This is my story. Raw. Real. Resilient.

(we're a) Fine Line {HS} by ignorantfirework

'Only they end up crumbling and love is only fear of losing each other' ~~~~~ "You see these two?" I ask him softly and rhetorically, referring to his upper and lower parted lips, using them as a silly example to try to compare them to him and me, respectively. "They're originally separated and you could say they have nothing to do with each other. One of them is perfectly built in a beautiful shape, while the other one is just fatter and less attractive... But there's still a moment when they meet..." I push them together gently with him doing a part of it for me. "...and they stick together. The fine line where their surfaces touch keeping them together... for some reason." I lower my voice, fearing, in a good way, what he may be thinking about all this nonsense. "It's just funny that it is obvious, but we don't seem to care." ~~~~~ Read 'Author's Note' chapters for more information!

After Curfew by SlytherinAfff

Willow's always been known as the good girl with the wealthy parents who could do no wrong. Little do they know that this seemingly perfect girl has some less than perfect secrets; and the fact that she's been sneaking out past curfew every night since the beginning of summer isn't the worst one. Distancing herself from the people at school has become lonely, but everything changes when a group of bad boys that she meets after curfew one night transfer to her school and begin to take an interest in her; one even more than the rest. But will they be able to protect her when events from her past re-surface and begin to get her into more trouble than she ever wanted? ********************** We were a circuit, electricity flowing through us at every connection, every light touch igniting a heat that was exhilarating but dangerous. Like we could catch fire and burn to the ground at any second. "Did you take your own advice? Did you ever forgive yourself?" I whispered, my words evaporating in the heat around us. He moved towards me, trapping me against the car door as his lips traced over my jaw, down to my neck. "This," he whispered, his thumb tracing the waistband of my jeans, making my breathing falter. "Allowing myself to feel this happiness, to feel you...this is me forgiving myself." He kissed me, calming the raging storm in me and igniting a new one. I wasn't sure which would cause more destruction, but I knew only one had pretty blue eyes and a effortless smile that could convince me it was all worth it. It probably was.

But the little sparks of hope that build up her optimistic, bright soul convince her otherwise. She will always think of one thing and that there is hope in life. Maybe even a goal. It might not be visible now, but she knew that it became as clear as a bell when she ran into Luke Carter. Twice. In one day. Second time being literally into him. -- "How about fifty-fifty?" I offer in ragged breaths. "We could have just done this from the beginning," he replies, breathing heavily. We both chuckle. I gaze into his green eyes. "Your eyes are really beautiful," I blurt out. "I know," he smirks. "Are you always that egotistic?" "It depends," he answers, pushing my hair behind my ear. I smile at him. "You're welcome then." "I never said thank you." "And I said you're welcome.

Bad Influence by rosy_pengirl

SYNOPSIS: The difference between Derek and I is like trying to count a tall building with over a hundred floors. While he's the type that gets tattoos, parties, sleeps around and smokes chunks with his friends, I'm the kind of girl that secure good grades at school just to make mummy proud. I'm not his type, he calls me a minor and ruffles my hair like a kid but I don't want to be that to him. I want to be everything he wants me to be, I want to be everything he likes in a woman even if it means skipping classes, partying and making mummy sad. I knew coming back to Austin TX after four years and getting to see those magnetic gray orbs that kept pulling me closer, those devilish lips, the smirk that whispers; 'Do what would make your mom disappointed' would be a bad idea. I shouldn't do this, I shouldn't look up to Derek. He's a bad influence, I know but I can't help it. ^^^^ Guys, welcome to my first ever Wattpad novel. After going through some of the chapters, my friends kept telling me this book is a Wattpad material and I should bring it here so here it is. I hope you guys love this. PS: I love Derek, the character from Teen wolf and to express my love, I've decided to use his fictional name and last name as my MMC. It's just the name and nothing more )3 Cover credit: Pin interest. #2 contemporary, really thankful for the opportunity guys 😊 #1 Contemporary, 1.24.24. Thank you ❤️

Hearts Don't Break Forever by luvrkate

Alana Riviere grew up fast, and not by choice. Born to teen parents who somehow made it work, she spent her early years in the buzz of New York City, surrounded by ambition, love, and a little bit of chaos. Her mom was a whirlwind of creativity; her dad, the steady rock. Life felt golden-until it didn't. At 14, she lost her older brother, the one who always had her back. Two years later, her younger brother-sweet, shy, and only nine-tried to take his own life after relentless bullying. Then, just when Alana thought things couldn't get worse, her mom cheated, the family split apart, and everything she knew fell apart. Fast forward to 21, Alana's living in LA, modeling for top brands, sipping overpriced matcha, and decorating her apartment with vintage posters and candles she'll never light. She's finally out of a toxic relationship that nearly broke her, and she's found a friend group that feels like the family she lost. Her mom is a stranger now, remarried with two stepdaughters back in New York. But her dad? He's still her favorite person, living in Cape Cod with his kind, considerate fiancée and her now 16-year-old brother, who's doing a lot better. Alana's got her independence, her career, and a hard-earned sense of peace. But when old wounds start to reopen and her friendships are tested, she begins to wonder: is she really as healed as she thinks? Can this new life actually stick? And somewhere in all of this-between heartbreak and healing-is there still a chance for real love?
