Iris Alderidge has not had it easy, to say the least. Her life was turned upside down, because of what happened to her a year prior. She has always felt a sort of numbness- - sadness. But everything used to be better. She used to feel okay, with him. With Sebastian Miller. They were friends since Iris was born, Sebastian only being four months older. She thought that her and Seb would be friends forever. Maybe even grow up and get married. But, he left her, just like everyone else. Just a month before her life went to shit. Got worse than she had ever thought it would be, ever imagined. And now, she has to try and navigate how to live without him. Or so she thought. Until one party changed everything between them. But, she also has to try and fix herself. With the help of her grandma, her best friend Allyson, and possibly Sebastian.

Summer Fee; Sick in Love
"You never answered the question. What's one thing you want more than anything?" He asks, pressing the elevator button. "I want..." my mind is thrown into a whirlwind of thoughts. I want so much; more than he knows. I run my hands through my hair, "I don't really know what I want. It's not like it matters." He moves and stands in front of me. I look at him as he continues to watch me, "What do you want?" "You," I mutter. Always you. ==================== Allyson Scott has had her fair share of struggles. Just like the cliche line, she wasn't a normal girl. She didn't even know what a first grade classroom looked like. She only knew what was inside the walls of the hospital. Since the day she was diagnosed, she was known as "The Girl with Cancer." Dylan Smith was a regular teenage guy. He drove a Jeep, played on the baseball team, and hung out with the guys every other weekend. He knew everybody that went to his school. So the minute he met Ally, he knew she was different. But didn't know why. Their story is one for the books. The many different things that could and do happen make the story oh so incredible. Enjoy reading the first installement of Summer Fee; Sick in Love.Complete
