They spend most of their free time together. So basically they aren't your average best friends. So what happens when Stella finds herself falling for Lucas and wants more than friendship but doesn't want to ruin it? What happens when Stella's attitude towards Lucas change? Would Lucas see behind her built up walls or would their friendship never be the same? "So you're in love with your best friend" My face dropped. My heart was hammering against my chest and this was the last thing I thought I'd hear from someone. "No I'm not" I blinked warily, denying it. "Oh come on Stella! It's really obvious" He was mad at me and I really felt like crying. He was the one before the last person I wanted to find this out. And the last person was Lucas.

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.

Shattered Heaven by alexfran1999

No creature shall escape Heaven's judgement... Far into the future, the Earth is a vastly different place. Humanity shares the world with the Nephilim, a race of winged giants that invaded 40 years prior. A fragile peace exists between the two races, and caught in the middle are the Lilin, genetic clones of the Nephilim possessing an array of psychic talents and the ability to operate mecha that fuse with the souls of their pilots. The appearance of the Angels, the ancestors of all life in the universe, only increase tensions between the species, and the future is left uncertain. Suleika Kazusa, a Lilin mentally scarred by her encounter with one of the enormous beings, is called back to her mech and back to space to reveal the Angels' true motivations, and prove to them that the people of Earth are worthy of living together. But time is wearing thin, and with the Angels' judgement fast approaching, Suleika must conquer her fears- or risk all life on planet Earth being wiped out entirely.
