Emma is sick. She looks healthy, away from her wheelchair, but inside she’s wanting to curl in a ball and die. She has Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome. An Incurable disorder that’s leaving her miserable and sad. She has few friends because of it, and just about no social life. There’s no one she can actually count on, none of her friends understand, doctors barely do, and her family is helpless. She cant even count on herself. Just when she’s about to give up hope there’s a small flicker of light at the end of the tunnel by the name of Jace Alexander.

As I Fell ✓
*CURRENTLY EDITING! This version may or may not contain harmful stereotypes and I had been meaning to revise them and change them so better messages are communicated. Also, chapter numbers may be repeated due to newer chapters that I added after originally finishing the story. Thank u!* Owen Watson isn't what others consider a people's person. Introverted and bookish as he is, Owen is known to be grouchy and easily annoyed, especially with people who treat him as someone who is only defined by their disability. He was in a wheelchair, but he was fine anyway. Being in one means standing out, and one of the things Owen hates the most is attention. He just wants to sit back in the shadows with a good book. Everything changed when Athena Calimeris stumbled into his life and made things more complicated. Athena is your typical, bubbly, girl next door. Child at heart, people wouldn't think twice to know that she's a former child prodigy. Though her recent past tells a different story, she is as fragile as any other person can be despite her playful, sunny personality. Due to a not-so typical meeting, Owen and Athena aren't exactly instant partners in crime. With a little sprinkle of blossoming friendship and a tiny pinch of eye rolling, falling for the other might seem impossible, but not entirely.Complete
Beautifully Broken
"You shouldn't need to drink to try and drown your feelings Kayla. I've watched the people around me do this all my life and it doesn't fix anything." "I know it won't fix anything, but for right now it helps me forget" "You can't keep running away or hiding. In the end it all catches up." "You sound like you've been through this before." "I guess you could say that." "You want me to open up to you, but are you ever going to open up to me? I want to get to know you Tyler, but you are so closed off. You know why I got knocked over by that wave? Because I was watching you, I was watching your face and seeing how free you felt riding that wave. It's the only time I've ever seen you let go. You know that someone hurt me, but I think you have been hurt too. When you're ready to talk, I'll be waiting. Maybe we can help each other." "Maybe I'm not worth getting to know" he replied. "And maybe I'm not worth you trying to save me either. Or maybe I am" With that I got up and left him to think about what I said. I put my cards on the table, now it was up to him to make the next move. ******** A year ago, Kayla had it all, doting parents and a relationship with her older brother that others envied. By the end of junior year that changed, she's left broken after a series of events in her life, but she is determined to hide her pain from her friends and enjoy the summer. That is until she meets Tyler, who can see right through the hurt. He has his own secrets though and isn't ready to let anyone in. Together they will either fall apart or fall together.Complete

"Being mute isn't a disability. It just means that God loves you so much that He took away your voice so that you don't hurt others verbally. You see, He doesn't want you to do what others are doing to you." ⌔ ⌔ ⌔ ⌔ ⌔ ⌔ ⌔ When Sierra Bloom suffers a tragedy that costs her both her family and her voice, she shuts down every bit of emotion and passion within her and brings out a new and cold her that doesn't like being around people and things that are easy to get attached to. Enter David Hale. Cheerful, bright, friendly -a shocking contrast to her cold, closed off personality. Not only does David do things she dislikes, he also does not know when to give up on her. What is Sierra supposed to do when he keeps bringing out the old her and makes her forget the tragedy she caused? The answer is obvious; shut him out and run away. That's the solution.... right? ⌔ ⌔ ⌔ ⌔ ⌔ ⌔ ⌔ ⌔ This book was written in 2013, back when I was still pretty much a kid. It hasn't been edited and there are many issues I find with it.
