A few other students enter the class, one of them sat next to me when he failed to find another place. 

"Can I sit here?" he asked. My eyes linger on him, what kind of question is it, you already sat here and I can't just say no, can I? 

His green eyes catch mine, deep emerald color you could drown in. He had curly hair, the most beautiful curls I've ever seen. It felt like there was a whole world living inside him. I didn't know anything about that world. 

He wore a flannel shirt that was loose on his body, light blue jeans hugged his legs tight.

"Sure." I try to force a smile, but I find nothing exciting before ten in the morning, so I nod at him gently instead. 

...

Harry and Anna take the same course at NYU: English. When they're asked to read Rupi Kaur's poems, and then write one themselves they almost seem to work together perfectly, that is until an innocent kiss breaks the ice they didn't know they were standing on, 

please don't ever become a stranger whose laugh I could recognize anywhere. 

But they do, and then don't, and then... 

...

How Many Nights Does It Take to Count The Stars is a story about love, and friendship, girlfriend and girlfriend, awkwardness, and everything that's in between. It's light, and sweet, and warm. 

So settle down, put your covers uptight. Look to the window, and out into night.

Dear Rory, I'm sorry about what I said. I'm leaving for LA in two days. Can we talk before then, please? We can just drive around as usual. I don't know how to do this if you're upset with me. Call me please. I'm staying at my parents' house. Love, Taylor *** Aurora Taylor has been living her best life for the past ten years or so. She works for Odyssey, a travel magazine based in New York City, New York, where she gets to go on dozens of trips a year to the most beautiful corners on earth to write articles about her journey. When she's not travelling, she also dabbles in fiction writing, a little secret passion of hers only few people know about. When the pressure of her two jobs gets a little too hard to manage, she decided to take a week off in a beautiful town at the beach in Northern Italy. A week full of unadulterated fun and relaxation, with unlimited glasses of chilled Prosecco and gelato cones. Or, so she thought. Her plans are completely ruined when she runs into someone she never thought she would ever see again. Not in person at least. A ghost from her past. Taylor Swift. Thirteen years and the universe decides to throw them together in a random town in Italy. Taylor does not believe that it is a coincidence. Aurora is a little reluctant to believe it. But thirteen years is a hard number for Taylor to ignore and she is adamant on making things right with the writer who finds it hard to forgive and forget all that was said and done thirteen years ago. *** This story is entirely my work of fiction. All characters and fictional places are from my own imagination except for real celebrities. The timeline is not necessarily a hundred percent accurate to Taylor's for the sake of the story and for it to make sense. I hope you enjoy it!

Two broken souls in the midst of a crazy world. Two souls running away from their past. There was no light at the end of the tunnel. The tunnel was cracking, slowly closing in. When these two connect, as if they were set on the same path, light creeps in through the cracks, and for or a moment, the tunnel seems to have a way out, but what if it collapses before they make it? - "You saved my life." The words come out as a whisper, I've been dying to say that. I thank god every day that he came into my life when he did. "Fuck Vivian, you don't know how much I needed you." I tear up just a little as he speaks, I don't know the last time I cried happy tears. I bring my hands up to cup his cheeks, resting my forehead against his. "No matter how much I push, I don't mean it. Please don't give up on me." My words seem to relieve him in some way as I feel his shoulders relax. "Even when I'm gone, I'll be by your side, forever." He brings his hand, sticking his pinky out. "pinky promise."I wrap mine around his, placing a kiss on his lips. Warning before you read!! This is my first book! This book will contain topics of SA, eating disorders, and mature content, if any of these things may bother you in anyway, please scroll! I hope when I finish this book I can public a clean version, with a different perspective leaving out these topics, but for now, this is how i've envisioned this story to go! Enjoy -Ash🌸

[COMPLETED] Indigo always had problems, but when her father committed murder-suicide against her mother, she had trouble keeping those problems under control. She had a fear of the world. Everyday actions were feats for her; going to high school, socializing, even falling asleep at night. Of course, her greedy aunt was no help. She felt hopeless. Until she met Nate. Nate had problems of his own. All his life he's had trouble staying focused. He wanted to believe he was normal, but it's hard to think that when you're brilliant in class and... not so brilliant on paper. He didn't want to have A.D.H.D. He tried to pretend he didn't, but there was something rooted deep inside him, telling him he wasn't good enough. He felt useless. Until he met Indigo. When Nate met Indigo, all he wanted to do was help, but could she reveal her secrets to him? Could two wrongs make a right? Quickly, Indigo and Nate developed a relationship that neither thought was possible for themselves to have. Could Nate help Indigo move on from her past and defeat her demons? Could Indigo help Nate accept himself for who he was and hopefully help him pass English? Originally a NaNoWriMo novel, The Way the World Ends revolves around two teens just trying to survive high school and hopefully understand themselves and the words of T.S. Eliot. *** warning: some sexual content, brief violence, language, and sensitive topics.

"Sing something for me, Brookie." little Harry says. I shoot my head up from the ground at Harry. "What?" "Sing something, I've never heard you sing before." he says, tilting his head to the side. He's wearing a white T-shirt with a picture of a football on, blue shorts and football boots. He looks adorable. "But I can't sing..." I say quietly, looking down at my little pink jelly sandals. "Of course you can, everyone can sing!" he says, tugging on my dress. "Not me," I say, shaking my head. Harry scoots closer to me and lifts up my chin with his finger. "Please? For me?" he says, his eminent green eyes gaze deeply into mine and I really can't refuse. I take a deep breath before looking out at the lake and singing my favourite song in the world. 10 years later, 16 year old dimpled cheek and curly haired Harry and pretty, witty 15 year old Brooklyn are anything but prepared for the future ahead of them. They've been best friends for longer than they can remember. Throughout their ups and downs, smiles and frowns, nothing and no one can ruin their friendship. But what happens when Harry discovers Brooklyn's biggest secret, Brooklyn is forced to give up her dream to rush into hospital and Harry may just be the only chance she has? Will Harry really do anything to make Brooklyn happy once again? You will do anything for me. Written by Faye.
