Jamie has it all - depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and a hate for her endless acne. With no friends, a distant family, and a nonexistent love-life, Jamie has made it through her twenties by hanging onto her dream of becoming a professional singer. In the past, she was presented with opportunities, but her fear got the best of her. When a unique talent competition can help start her career, Jamie will either try again or move on for good.
These days, adulthood can be summed up as a time in a person's life where many questions are asked, and the answers are either N/A or sugar-coated, leaving them to figure it out on their own. They say society has a low-attention span. They say people don't read these days. Would it be surprising that the answers to life could be found in a special book?
From the author: I wrote this story in hopes of helping readers face their fears, issues, past, etc. Even though life is hard at times, never stop asking questions and never settle for any answer. Your life matters, and you are loved more than you know. I hope you read this story to the very end. Thank you!

If You Love Me
"If you love me, you won't leave me." Jessie has believed those words from her boyfriend, Josh, since senior year of high school. She loves him and doesn't want to leave him. Not even when he shouts at her and hits her. Jessie's best friend, Kolleen, can't stand seeing her in that situation. With a bit of convincing - and the worst beating she'd ever received - Jessie agrees to move into an apartment with Kolleen. But not long after, Jessie is scared the worst of her nightmares will soon become a reality. Josh goes missing, and suddenly Jessie would swear she's being followed. One night changes everything, and one person soon changes Jessie's outlook. A responding officer from that fateful night begins to seek her out, at first claiming it's part of his job. As she spends time with her new friend outside of his job, she starts realizing that her feelings are evolving. After being abused for over a year, Jessie is terrified she's falling in love. What's even more terrifying is that he might be, too. She isn't ready for love. Not yet. She makes up her mind that if he is falling, and if he does love her, he'll wait for her to be ready, and if she loves him, she won't let herself hurt him. Can the words that used to cage her in really be the key to her freedom? --- Featured On: @NA: Take a seat and let it be | Mature Content and 18+ reading list @NA: You deserve the world | Mental Health reading list Ambys Top Picks New Adult 2023Complete
Cacophony
Sydney didn't have much, but that was fine with her. She didn't need much. Growing up on the Washington coast in a lonely beach town, working quietly behind the scenes was what she was good at. Living on the beach was much less glamorous than most people imagine. Her home was a beat up old Winnebago that she had shared with her father until he passed. Her father had been a detached parent. He loved his daughter of course, but he was by no means an affectionate man. She had grown up fending for herself, working backstage at a bar that hosted live bands using a fake ID. After the death of her father she saw an ad for a guitar technician for a local Seattle band. A love of rock and roll had been the one thing that her and her dad had in common. Selling everything that she didn't need she packed up her pickup truck and travelled north to the city, leaving the sleepy town in her rear view mirror. She didn't expect to embark on what would become the adventure of a lifetime. For someone who had hardly left the town she grew up in, the opportunity to get paid to travel the country and listen to great music was a dream come true. The band became her family, and life on the road was a perfect fit for her. Chris Cornell instantly became Sydney's best friend in the whole world. They were in love, that was plain as day to anyone who paid attention. Yet, sometimes love isn't as simple as it should be. Sometimes, love hurts.

My eyes are weird, and people get tired of me eventually. There's your one-page essay. Now please don't snow me to death .-." "What? All that you just said is a lie.

My Wife, The Cop!
Freen's POV - 6 years ago* "You're late, Sarocha!" I rushed into the charity gala, still in uniform. Everyone else looked fancy. I looked like I'd just arrested someone. Which I had. Then I saw her. Beautiful girl in a black dress, surrounded by boring old men. She looked... trapped. Like she'd rather be anywhere else. "That's Becky Armstrong," Nam whispered. "Armstrong Industries princess. Way out of your league." But something about how alone she looked... "I'm gonna talk to her." "FREEN, NO!" Too late. I was already walking over. "Ms. Armstrong? I'm Officer Freen Sarocha. Want to get some air?" She turned, brown eyes meeting mine, and smiled. A real smile. "I thought you'd never ask." --- Freen's POV - Present day I stare at the old photo on my desk. Becky and me, laughing at some cafΓ©. So young. So happy. So unaware of what was coming. Five years since everything fell apart. My phone buzzes. Officer Sarocha? This is Richard Armstrong. We need your help. It's about my granddaughter... Roni. The daughter I've never met. "I'll be right there." I look at the photo one more time. Are you ready to see her again, Freen? No. But a child is missing. And despite everything, I'd still do anything for Becky. Even if it destroys me all over again.Complete
Love Misunderstood
I only ever met one man I'd call truly noble. He was a man who was misunderstood and worthy of the world, yet everyone saw him differently. That was until I saw his true colours. The more I caught his eye the more he noticed me. We would pass each other, I would always stare a little longer at his back, wondering his story. People used to move out of the hallways if they saw him approaching whereas people would come and talk to me. He kept to himself, I was never alone, he had no friends, I was friends with everyone, I never saw him talk to anyone I spoke to many. we were polar opposites. At least that's what I thought until that day in the library, that is where I will start this story. Everyone is different, I hate the word "different", I much prefer the word unique. Unique is the only way to describe him. This is not just a story about love, it is about helping two souls who act differently but are the same on the inside, it shows the messy parts that aren't shown in movies, the tragedy, and the comedy but most of all the sizzling romance between two broken people who became one. Who is this story about? Caden James. But this is not just his story, It is ours.Complete
Hate Me Closer (FreenBecky)
Freen and Becky are both ambitious college students studying law at the same prestigious Royal Thai School of Law. They come from very different backgrounds, but share a fierce drive to succeed in their field. Freen, confident and assertive, often gives off an air of arrogance. She believes she's superior, not just in intellect but also in social status. Becky, on the other hand, is equally intelligent, but she has a strong sense of humility. She's hardworking and a little more reserved, which makes her view Freen's confidence as self-importance. Their rivalry is intense. Every group project, class discussion, and social interaction seems to escalate into arguments. Their debates and fights often spill into the hallways, making them infamous on campus. They have a constant back-and-forth-one day Becky insults Freen's way of thinking, the next day Freen criticizes Becky's lack of self-confidence. Neither can stand the other, and neither can back down. It's more than just competition-it's personal. However, when their parents announce that they're getting married. Both girls are blindsided by the news. Becky is furious, feeling betrayed by her mother for marrying Freen's father, and the idea of having to live with Freen, her sworn enemy, feels unbearable. Freen, though outwardly calm, is equally shocked and annoyed.Complete
Between Hate and Heat
Rebecca Patricia Armstrong - daughter of Thailand's most powerful and wealthiest businessman. At 20, she's a second-year International Business Management student living a life most girls can only dream of. With ethereal beauty, an enviable lifestyle, and a presence that commands every room, she's that girl - powerful, untouchable, and just a little dangerous. But beneath the perfect facade lies an attitude sharper than glass - sassy, cocky, and unapologetically harsh. Freen Sarocha Chankimha, a stunning and cold fourth-year Civil Engineering student whose life couldn't be more different from theirs. Orphaned at 15 after a tragic plane crash and abandoned by her mother, Freen was taken in by the Armstrongs thanks to her father's close friendship with them. Rebecca despised her from the start. For reasons Freen never understood, Rebecca turned her life into a battlefield - picking fights, blaming her for things she didn't do, and constantly reminding her she didn't belong. Freen endured it all in silence, hiding behind walls built high and strong, her cool composure and effortless beauty making her a paradox that fascinated everyone... including Rebecca, though she'd never admit it. Freen's plan was simple: graduate, leave the Armstrongs, and never look back. Rebecca's plan? Keep hating her. Or so she thought - until one spark changes everything. Because when fire meets ice, someone's bound to melt... and neither of them is ready for what comes next. (G!P)
