The path to self growth isn't a line from A to B. It's a line with twist and turns, curves and bends, all leading to a new challenge.
Carter was a happy child. Someone who loved life. But last summer before college everything changed. Now it's a year later, she hides from everyone. Drinking the pain away, and praying for her end. When your entire life is reduced to on moment from one day when an choice was made. July 18th, is the day Carter will be forced to remember forever. And that one moment, that one split second decision, will cost her everything.
Theo spent the whole year waiting for Carter. Missing her every second. When he gets her back, she isn't the same. He knew she wouldn't be, he never wanted her to be perfect. He would love her any way she was, but when he finds out what happened July 18, it will break him. Carter was supposed to be the only person who wouldn't hurt him. And now she is just like everyone else. Could their friendship truly survive anything? Or will it break as easily as a wave?

Childhood Sweethearts
#1 Teen Fiction | #1 Young Adult | #1 Romance "We all need someone to drive us mad." - The Wombats. He stared arrogantly down at me, a smirk plastered across his face. I sneered up at him with distaste, wanting to wrap my fingers around his neck and strangle that smirk off of him. He brushed my golden hair from my face, his long, slender fingers sparking electricity in my skin, making my knees wobble together. "Will you ever, forgive me?" he whispered huskily, his eyes intently staring into mine. His face was only mere inches from me. I just needed to reach out a little further to kiss him... "Yeah. Over my dead body." I snapped, before throwing my arms out forcefully, shoving my hands into his chest, pushing him from me. -*-*-*- He, is Carter Williams. I, am Lacey Adams. We were once, inseparable. The 'Golden Couple'. The unbreakable best friends, that everybody envied. Nothing could get between us. A part from being tighter than white on rice, we updated our status from friends to being in a relationship, frequently. We were neighbours, which meant our families were all close and even co-owned houses around our town. This, all is, until the day of my sixteenth birthday. Everything changed. The loving relationship we shared, was severed and torn apart. I couldn't hardly stand to look at him any more, without spitting fire that is. Every day is torture being around him. He was in all my classes at school and the window in my room was even directly aligned with his. So, what happens? My mother's mum gets sick, so dad and her fly out. Just them. Leaving me to stay with Carter and his parents, who are never home. We would be alone. In one house. Under the same roof. If I was insane before, I have no idea what I am now. © 2016 by LaurenJ22.

Beautifully Broken
"You shouldn't need to drink to try and drown your feelings Kayla. I've watched the people around me do this all my life and it doesn't fix anything." "I know it won't fix anything, but for right now it helps me forget" "You can't keep running away or hiding. In the end it all catches up." "You sound like you've been through this before." "I guess you could say that." "You want me to open up to you, but are you ever going to open up to me? I want to get to know you Tyler, but you are so closed off. You know why I got knocked over by that wave? Because I was watching you, I was watching your face and seeing how free you felt riding that wave. It's the only time I've ever seen you let go. You know that someone hurt me, but I think you have been hurt too. When you're ready to talk, I'll be waiting. Maybe we can help each other." "Maybe I'm not worth getting to know" he replied. "And maybe I'm not worth you trying to save me either. Or maybe I am" With that I got up and left him to think about what I said. I put my cards on the table, now it was up to him to make the next move. ******** A year ago, Kayla had it all, doting parents and a relationship with her older brother that others envied.

The Boys Of Echo Beach Vol. 2
Georgia, now 18, returns to Echo Beach for the second time. However, instead of needing to choose between Connor or Will, she only has one person in mind. Someone that may very well despise her entirely, someone that she's barely spoken to, and someone that unbeknownst to her has felt exactly the same way long before she even realised her own feelings. Contains some smut. Recommend listening to the music. It'll help you get the vibe. Trigger warning for possible sensitive topics. P.s. If you enjoyed The Summer I Turned Pretty then I definitely recommend you read this. (Disclaimer: I am in no way shape or form trying to offend anyone with any of the topics, events or language that may take place or be used in this book. Also, this is a work of fiction and only uses influences from The Summer I Turned Pretty. None of the characters from that show/book will appear. Only characters or themes similar to them. I simply made this because I am a fan.)Complete
