Memorıes Lıke These
"Tristan, I'm scared." And then I froze. Just like the first time I met her, my body went into complete lockdown and my heart beat irrationally fast. Who would of ever thought three words could scar me? To anyone else, it would mean nothing. But to me it meant everything. Lorna was fearless. She wasn't scared of anything. The words 'I'm scared' never left her mouth. Until now. I guess this sort of pain can even scare the fearless. Lorna Smith isn't your typical teenage girl, she's battling a deadly disease. But she doesn't let that get her down. She lives life fearlessly, taking it as one big journey. Then she meets Tristan Coleman, a popular guy who is fixed in his orderly life. Lorna's fun, high spirited personality soon changes Tristan and as their friendship slowly turns into romance, Lorna becomes a huge part of his life. He's prepared for love, but he's not prepared for what he gets. And that changes him forever. ~Cover created by @ceilteinte~Complete
Tragedy ✔️

Tragedy can happen to anyone, anytime and anywhere, and the saddest part about that truth is that tragedy is unavoidable. No one can prevent a natural disaster from happening. No one can prevent death from knocking on their doorstep - if it's an accident, or a sickness - it cannot be prevented, and it cannot be avoided. You never know on which day tragedy will come knocking on your front door. You never know who it would strike next - if it would be you, or someone else, or someone who is very close to you. The thing is, with tragedy, it doesn't ask questions before it strikes. It just does. River and Sophia were two people who experienced the same tragedy: loss, but their stories were very different from each other, but they shared the same pain of losing someone they loved, someone who was close to them. And now, suffering the aftermath of their tragedies - living with the guilt, the regret, and the grief of losing someone that was close to them, they have to try to overcome everything, before their tragedy ruins their lives forever. But will it bring them together or would it just be another terrible tragedy? [ word count 130K - 145K ] [ comments does contain spoilers ]Complete

I Hate Football Players 2 (under editing)
Finding relationships is easy... Keeping them is the real game. That's what I'm learning in my first one. It's not easy. Our rival schools are an hour apart, my best friend's turning secretive, my parents are controlling, and my brother's still an ass, gearing toward winning the state championship, and still doesn't like my boyfriend, Logan. I get it, they're rivals, and I kinda feel like Logan's team might be better but this season will decide. Being the star rival quarterback's girlfriend brings big rumors and big drama, especially when elements of our pasts resurface - his jaded ex whatevers, and the secrets I thought I'd buried and moved beyond. All of this while I just want to figure out where to go for college and what for. Some relationships will always stand the test of time and distance, while others crumble by the time the high school dust settles. I hope Logan and I are in the former because I'm falling hard for him. Really hard. Forever love hard. Story is ongoing with frequent updates. Please add it to your reading list!

Us, to nowhere
"Promise me, you'll never let go of me" She said. "I promise." He replied, and right here, holding hands, wet lips, the sea saw the most beautiful thing happen in days. Faith Allen is someone not all of us can relate to, but some of us will on a spiritual level. Did I mention she's sexy as hell? And probably the perfect girlfriend. Hated by the ex, and all the other girls that want him. Alex Flynn, new in school, so hot all the girls eye at him, but his eyes? Fall right below her. He is handsome, and filled with chivalry but he's the kind of guy every girl's mom warned them about. The kind any guy could easily lose their girlfriends to. People envy their relationship. They sit there in the cafeteria being like, "damn, they're still together?" Holding hands, sharing kisses, saying, "i love you's" and being there for each other almost everytime. Is all this enough to make a relationship work? This book is torn between, "oh my god, could they be any cuter?" and "I did not see that coming." It'll make you want to keep reading and you won't want it to end. Dive in this beautiful journey of love and passion, but let's not forget we don't live in a fairytale. Let's restore your faith in writing your own happiness, shall we?Complete
