This story is my happy place; I do not plan on ever finishing it. It will go on and on like a soapie. Might break it up into volumes later.

Paisley Davenport ♫ When Willow Mayfair's life falls apart, her mother brings her to Briar Cove, the small coastal town where she grew up. Living with Rebecca's childhood friend, a new world filled with love, excitement, and friendship opens up for both of them. For everybody who also dreams of a fairy tale and won't care if the "knights" were a little dirty. Genre: Slice of Life/Romance/Humour This is a slow-burn journey through love and life, filled with an array of beloved characters, their sad moments, happy moments and a multitude of bat-sh#t crazy moments.

16 parts Complete

Ruby is a eleven year old girl who went through a tragic heartbreak but not from a boy. Her "friend" was the heartbreaker also known as... Isabella. It all started on a video game called Zale. It's a game where you can role-play, which means act out or perform the part of a person or character. Zale is also commonly used to hang out with your online or real life friends. Because Zale is a role-play game, Isabella had a boyfriend. His name was Alex. One day when Alex was looking for Isabella, he asked Ruby, "Have you seen Isabella anywhere?" Ruby pondered then answered, "No I haven't seen her, sorry" She blushed and walked away. Alex noticed Ruby blushed and caught feelings for her. He knew he couldn't be in love with Isabella and Ruby at the same time. So he had to made a tough decision. Later that same day Alex broke up with Isabella to be with Ruby. Isabella sobbed as she mourned the loss of Alex's love. After a while, she put some more thought into it and became angry at Ruby for stealing the man she loved... Life is full of surprises in presents, you just have to open them to find what's inside. This is book two. Ruby has met Alex and the triplets in real life. Please read book one first or the story won't make that much sense. Thanks! Highest Score(s): 2022, 2023 # 12 helpline # 6 reallifesituations # 2 reallifeproblems
