I'll Be There For You by theflash_2017

Love can be a complicated emotion to process. It has its ups and downs, it can make you feel indifferent or anxious or insecure. But, it can also be the most powerful weapon that you can use. Love can have a huge impact on our lives. When we think we're about to give up on love, something or someone come into our lives and changes our perspective on it. That's what happened with twenty-five year old, María Villanueva. She had just broken up with her boyfriend of five years, and she thought she wouldn't be able to love or trust anyone again. Not until she meets twenty-six year old, Luis Ramirez. They start to talk and they hit it off right away. But María still has this feeling that she doesn't think she can handle being in another relationship after what happened with her last, and to make matters worse, her ex is still in the picture. Luis, however, does everything to make sure María doesn't get hurt in any way anymore. And makes sure she feels loved and appreciated. Will María have the happily ever after that she desires with someone new? Or will her past and her ex keep getting in the way?

When Ellie Ricciardo returns to Amemile Valley life isn't exactly how she left it... Old friends and old feelings, are they ever a good mix?

Altered by LuellaOpal

Have you ever met someone who alters the course of your life? For good or for bad, they've come in, given and taken, and then- BOOM! Your life was never the same. There's always a change, an altering of reality. When you meet those people, the reality that you've known your whole life is suddenly gone and a new one has taken its place. When those moments happen, there's no going back. You can try to return to the way things were but nothing, and I mean nothing, can take you back to exactly how it was. That's what happened to us. I think that's why we're still trying so desperately to get back to some sort of normalcy. Four years later and we're still on the ground, crawling, in search of the happiness that was lost that June. Summers will never be the same. Midnight walks through my neighborhood will never be the same. Field parties with bonfires and loud music will never be the same. I still don't know why you left and what lead you to the decision you made. What I do know is that we're here. We're alive and we're pushing forward to the future. A future that you're not a part of. But in some ways, I'm glad you're not a part of it. I just wish it wasn't like this. *** TRIGGER WARNING*** SA, abuse, suicide, substance abuse, and mental illness. This is a complete story that is much like life; fast, full of surprises, and not always how we want it to be. This has been a project of mine for over three years. It was self-published on Amazon, but after some issues in publication, I decided to just upload it on here. I hope you fall in love with these characters like I have. The friends in this story are trying to make names for themselves, figure out who they are, who they can trust, how to love, and how to separate themselves from a restrictive community. As in any coming of age story, they will experience growing pains... but will they survive them before its too late? PLEASE READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS.
