Boarding School
When Sammy's parents got divorced, she didn't mind at all, because she knew that they weren't meant to be together, and if they weren't happy with each other, then they don't have to stay together for her sake. She lived with her mom, and her dad visited regularly, when he could get away from his work; running a top class private boarding school. Her mom turns on her when her favourite person leaves town, and her life slowly starts losing meaning, and she can't think of anything that makes her happy, except being with her best friend. Then, she goes too... With nothing making her happy in her small town, she makes a life-changing decision, that she thinks will benifit her, and make her life all that she wanted. Or, it could go very wrong and be worse than staying where she is. "Dad, I want to live with you" I told him over the phone, in tears. Nothing new there. "Samantha, you know I'd love you too, but there isn't any school around this area, remember? My school is in the countryside, with nothing within a short driving dinstance" he all but rejected me. "Then can I move schools? Attend your boarding school?" He was silent, then let out a long sigh of defeat. "I'll enroll you now. Pack your things, I'll send a car in the morning for you." That was all I needed to hear, and I was thrilled. Without making noise, I danced around my room and repeatedly thanked him. Later that night, after the usual abuse, I silently packed my things when she was passed out. I hurried in doing it, and stored them at the back of my closet so she couldn't see them when she checked up on me. You're doing it, Sammy. You're finally getting out of here; away from all the bitchy girls, your mom, and old memories with Fletcher. I'm proud of you, girl...Complete
Bittersweet
|| COMPLETED || I want to be ready for college, but I'll be leaving everything behind. I don't want to forget my mom, my friends, or the memories made. Then again, I want to move on, run away from the heart break following me. I want to be free, I need to be free. For everything that I know, college could be a restart for highschool. A time where I don't make mistakes or where bad things don't happen, but I know they will. Though focusing on the negative won't lead me anywhere. Sadly though, that's all I ever learned to focus on. Learning things about my family that disgust me, learning about family members I didn't even know existed. It's all new, like morphing into a new body, you have to learn how to control. Sadly I don't know how to control myself, I can't control my emotions. I want to be ready for college, I am. I'll be leaving everything behind, but I need to escape the pain. ☆☆ Disclaimer - Read my first book 'Reality Hits Hard' to understand this book before reading it. This book is also very childish looking back at it, but I hope you guys enjoy it!Complete
Liam Payne x reader
Hi, my name is Rose. I'm nineteen years old, and right now, I'm in college, trying to figure out who I am and where I belong in this big, confusing world. On the outside, I probably look like any other student rushing to classes, juggling assignments, and pretending I have everything under control. But inside, things feel a little more complicated. Not too long ago, I went through a breakup with my ex-boyfriend, Noah. He was my first love, the person I thought I could trust, and losing him left me feeling like I'd lost a part of myself. For a while, it was hard to breathe without thinking of him, hard to walk around campus without expecting him to appear around the corner. Some days I still catch myself remembering the way he laughed or the way he said my name, and those memories tug at me, even when I wish they wouldn't. But life has a funny way of moving forward, even when you feel like you're standing still. A few weeks after Noah and I ended things, someone new arrived on campus-Liam Payne. He's nothing like Noah. Where Noah always felt familiar and safe, Liam feels exciting, unpredictable, almost like a spark that catches you off guard. He has this presence that makes people turn their heads when he walks into a room, but it isn't just his looks-it's the way he carries himself, confident yet kind. I didn't mean to notice him as much as I did. At first, I thought it was just a harmless crush, the kind you get when you're trying to distract yourself from heartbreak. But the more I saw him, the harder it was to look away. Something about Liam makes me curious, like there's a whole story written across his smile, and I want to know every chapter. So here I am: Rose, nineteen, a little bruised from love, a little hopeful for something new, and maybe-just maybe-ready to let my heart take another chance.Complete

Holding Onto You
I was in the end of my Senior year when I met Stephan Owens. He had just moved from Chicago to New Orleans with his older brother Elijah and little sister London. When he came to my high school everyone was convinced that he was a thug like his brother. So all the people he came across had mad respect for him because his brother was known for hanging out with some of the most important thugs there were and for becoming one. But he wasn't that unattractive "imma shoot up this whole place if i don't get my way" type thug or a "All I do is have sex and get money" type thug, or maybe he was. But I wouldn't know because I paid no attention to him or anyone really because I was to busy with my nose stuck in a book for all of my Junior and Senior year trying to become Valedictorian so I could get into a good college unlike almost everyone else here at this terrible high school. But then I fell in love with him and my life kind of dashed from one end to another.Complete
