*Previously Titled 'Unbreak'*
Lucia Waters is a freshman at NYU and she could't be happier.
Studying the course of her choice, living with her gorgeous best friend and miles away from her obnoxious mother, she finally feels in control of her life.
Until one fateful night when she is rescued by a boy with haunting azure eyes.
The more she tries to push him away, the more he pulls her in.
He turns her world upside down and leaves her shattered and shining all the same.
He is a puzzle she has to figure out and it's not going to be easy when he doesn't want to be figured out.
He knows he'll destroy her and yet he can't help it.
But when it comes to Jason Chase, everything is worth it.
" If she was fire, he was gasoline. Without each other they were incomplete and together, they could burn their entire world down to ashes. "
"It's painful, it hurts more than any physical injury ever could, but no matter what they say, love is beautiful."

The boy who hurt me first
Tessa Young is everything an eighteen-year-old girl is supposed to be-brilliant, driven, ambitious enough to dream of a university far away from the town that feels too small for her thoughts. She loves quiet, books, and the feeling of being in control of her future. But there is one thing she can't control. Hardin Scott. The boy she built sandcastles with at the beach. The boy who held her hand on her first day of school. The boy who once swore he would never hurt her. That same boy is now the reason she wakes up with fear in her chest every morning. Ever since his mother died, Hardin has been shattered-hard, distant, angry-and Tessa has become the perfect target for a storm he can't understand or contain. The words that once brought her safety now cut like blades. The eyes that once held warmth are now colder than steel. Everyone sees Hardin as the boy who smokes, drinks, fights, and fears nothing. But Tessa sees something else. A pain no one recognizes. A void that never found words. And a past that tied them together-only to rip them apart. But feelings don't listen to logic. And Tessa, against every principle she lives by, falls for the boy who hurts her every single day. She hates herself for it. She doesn't understand it. But every time Hardin shoves her into the lockers, she sees the same flash of the boy who used to catch her when she fell. And every time he insults her, something in his eyes breaks with her. When Tessa's feelings can no longer stay hidden-when her heart finally speaks louder than her fear-Hardin is forced to face a choice he's never had the courage to make: Will he become the boy who once protected her... or remain the boy who pushes her away to avoid losing himself? And the question that could destroy them both: Can love grow out of pain- or will it be the final crack that breaks them for good? ~~~~~~~ Currently rewritingComplete

Everything Has Changed
"If you asked me three months ago what heartbreak was, I would tell you it's losing somebody close to you due to unspeakable circumstances. But right now, in this moment, I would say it's you. I would say it's the feeling I got in my chest when I realized I was out of time. When I stood in the rain and yelled for you to stay, but all I saw was your back. I would say heartbreak is lying in bed at two in the morning, watching my ceiling fan go around and around, wondering why you couldn't stop to listen. Two seconds. All I needed was two seconds to say the words. All I needed was to seconds for me to tell you I was in love with you. With everything about you. With the way you move, and the feeling of your arms around me. With the feeling of your chest vibrating as you laugh. Heartbreak is falling in love with everything about you, but having the words permanently stuck in my throat." _____ Gracelyn Levinsky grew up with Daniel Grey.

The Equation Of Us
Let's be real-school isn't easy for everyone. Some people are born for it; they breeze through exams, ace every subject, and seem to have a secret code to surviving quizzes without breaking a sweat. But for the rest of us? We study 'til our eyes hurt, only to get red marks in return. We try, we fail, and we wonder why it's so hard to keep up while others make it look so easy. Rielle Kezean Vidalje lives that struggle every single day. With her average IQ, Math feels like a never-ending nightmare she can't escape. Failing grades? Already part of her routine. Pasang-awa scores in other subjects? That's her definition of "victory." But just when she's ready to stop trying, here comes Dylan Harvey Chavez-their class's golden boy. A Math major. The school's academic archiver. The guy who probably dreams in numbers and wakes up with formulas in his head. They couldn't be more different-she's always lost in class, and he's always on top. But when fate (and maybe a few group projects) start pulling them together, Rielle wonders: is Harvey there to remind her of how far behind she is... or could he be the unexpected answer to the equation she's been failing all along? A story about falling, failing, and finding the kind of connection that no grade or formula could ever predict.
