Brave Enough To Love Again  by CalliopeBlythe

I stood with my back to her, shielding her, and my murderous eyes stared down at the poor excuse of a man, promising unimaginable pain if he dared to move or even flinch. The enormity of control it took me to suppress the impulse to eradicate the piece of scum, who dared to even think about laying a hand on a woman, was inconceivable. My whole body was trembling with rage. The guy was intimidated by the fury in my eyes and stumbled back to his intoxicated friends who were too dazed to understand the situation. I was disappointed and relieved at the same time that the chaos didn't end in a fist fight. When I turned around to console her, she was gone. And as I looked around, I saw her back just leaving the bar through the entrance. I hurried out to follow her. She walked ahead of me aimlessly and disoriented like a wounded animal that had just escaped the claws of death. My heart ached for her. I found a kindred soul in her. She evidently had been wounded in the past. Just like me. But in an even worse way than I had been hurt, and it angered me, that someone had dared to harm her. *** Eden Marie Simmons is still recovering after escaping an abusive relationship when she meets Keane, the broody and enigmatic neighbor who is shrouded in mystery. Both are still being haunted by their past and are not ready for a new commitment, but when fate repeatedly puts them in each other's paths, they can't deny their attraction for each other. Life challenges them both with secrets, lies, and broken trusts, and confronts them with their pasts. They both must learn to be brave enough to love again. *** Story is previously called "Paradise Lies"

The Fake Girlfriend Effect

22 parts Complete Mature

When she finds herself broken up with by her girlfriend of two years, energetic and outgoing seventeen-year-old Cassidy Reed doesn't know what to do with herself for the summer. Initially, Cassie's summer is spent forcing herself out of bed for work, eating ice cream and stalking her ex's social media, and crying in her step-dad's old JSU hoodie while listening to songs her and Tess used to love. Then there's Katie. Seventeen-year-old Katie Lewis, a family friend who grew up with Cassie, was planning on spending her as she usually does; hanging out with her best friends (the Reed siblings), playing video games with Noah, pining over her other best friend Bella who she's liked for a few months now, and re-watching Pretty Little Liars with her dog Meatball- but everything changes the day she accidentally sends Bella-who's dating someone else, a text revealing her crush on her. Now, Cassie and Katie, with a history of old feelings for each other, must team up and pretend to date to make Cassie's ex as miserable as her, and to convince an otherwise skeptical Bella that Katie doesn't like her; but somewhere in that process? Old feelings begin to bubble and resurface.
