And she doesn't have the bravery to fight for what she truly needs. Khloe Summer goes against the flow. Although she has all the nerve to get what her heart's ambition- --a high-paying career, a modernized treehouse, an imperfection and error from the past concealed the truth about herself. And she fears that they will influence the momentum of her determination. However, because of art, they happened to be in the same flow. As they collide, will they be able to find strength from each other? Or meeting halfway and getting closer is going to be a heartbreak? ... *some events are related to Raindrops and Kiss & Tease series so it's going to be more convenient to read them first* »This is an LGBT-themed story.

Summer Fee; Sick in Love by cheerchic21

"You never answered the question. What's one thing you want more than anything?" He asks, pressing the elevator button. "I want..." my mind is thrown into a whirlwind of thoughts. I want so much; more than he knows. I run my hands through my hair, "I don't really know what I want. It's not like it matters." He moves and stands in front of me. I look at him as he continues to watch me, "What do you want?" "You," I mutter. Always you. ==================== Allyson Scott has had her fair share of struggles. Just like the cliche line, she wasn't a normal girl. She didn't even know what a first grade classroom looked like. She only knew what was inside the walls of the hospital. Since the day she was diagnosed, she was known as "The Girl with Cancer." Dylan Smith was a regular teenage guy. He drove a Jeep, played on the baseball team, and hung out with the guys every other weekend. He knew everybody that went to his school. So the minute he met Ally, he knew she was different. But didn't know why. Their story is one for the books. The many different things that could and do happen make the story oh so incredible. Enjoy reading the first installement of Summer Fee; Sick in Love.

The two are forced to attend the Wanderlust music festival together and after they get over the initial dislike for one another, will attraction form? And when they return home to their very different lives, can they find the time for love? ••• I followed Parker down the hall and he unlocked our door, holding it open for me. As soon as the click of the door closed, he cornered me against it, his hands on either side of my head. I held in a breath because of his proximity. "I've been wanting to kiss you since the day I met you," he voiced honestly and nudged his nose against my own. "You taste so good, Paige, you don't even know." I looked away, not being able to handle his words but he quickly brought his index finger under my chin to bring my face back to his.
