SOME HEARTS UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER
EVEN IN SILENCE


The last thing Alexia Kirby wanted to do for spring break was go to Los Angeles, especially when she already had plans with her best friend. But when her sister wins a sweepstake hosted by her favorite band, she agrees to go for the sake of her mom. Alexia planned on only enjoying the concert, but an accidental jump into the wrong limo leads her to meet the lead guitarist of The MorningStars. She thought meeting the frontman of her favorite band would be amazing, but he's grumpy, stubborn, and closed off-much like her -and, thinking she stole the song her sister used to enter, also strongly dislikes her. But when it comes to light that her sister entered Alexia's song in the contest, she gets the opportunity to make her dreams a reality.


What she doesn't know is that Grayson Archer has been obsessed with her since the moment he saw her. The only issue is, after an unfortunate circumstance with an ex, he finds himself reluctant to want love again. With many emotions bubbling and being forced to work together, they find themselves drawn to each other. Neither of them wants a relationship, but their hearts have other plans. Both must confront their feelings, their pasts, and face the drama of Hollywood, which is trying to pull them apart.

You and Me (Plus Everyone In Between Us) by esosazuwawrites

17-almost-18-year-old Ezra Thompson is tired of two things. First, is constant chatter about Dilemma, an all-boy rock band, led by the supposedly-dreamy frontman Andre Robinson that somehow has a universal grip on every teenager in the world. Personally, Ezra doesn't see the appeal. Second, being in the shadow of her more smart, successful, and popular twin brother Emmet. Ezra couldn't ask for a better life. The thing is, Ezra, can sing. Like really sing. Only her parents who are occasionally proud of her, treat it as a juvenile hobby and she could never sing in front of people. So for now, her shampoo bottles get front-row access to her once-a-night concert in the shower. But when Ezra's younger sister, Maria, signs her up for a singing reality show called Finding Solstice, she is both angry and grateful. To her surprise, she passes the audition and is invited to Los Angeles for the show.

The stakes are high, and people are unforgiving, but Ezra knows that her music is worth fighting for. With her future on the line, she must navigate the twists and turns of the music industry and stay focused on what really matters: her music and her dreams.

Astrid by _howAboutNope_

Carter slowly walked towards me, butterflies swarming in my stomach, filling every inch of me. "Assi." he grabbed my wrists, and made me look at him. "Who was that song about?" "You know who." "Was it... about me?" "What would you say if it was?" I cocked my head to the side, our eyes staying connected with each other. "I wouldn't say." he moved closer to me, towering over by the slightest bit as his breath surrounded my every nerve. He leant down, took a sharp breath and connected our lips. - Astrid was a beautiful girl, who had lost her sense of who she was and where she belonged. She went through something traumatic at only 14, but no one noticed. She moved to Roseville for a fresh start with her best friend Kaitlyn by her side. But Carter notices.
