[Completed] [MATURE CONTENT] [TW: Mentions of drug abuse and self-harm] "When I met her, I told myself 'no feelings'. But I guess you know by now that that's never how feelings work." As a 24-year-old working with underage drug addicts in a rehab facility, Violet Rae is less than impressed when her best friend introduces her to Harry Styles, a top tier member in a notorious drug gang in London who has a heavy coke addiction. Harry seems to have taken an unlikely interest in Violet that nobody, including her, him or his friends seem to understand. The two are an unconventional match and before realizing it, Violet is sucked into a dangerous life that goes against anything she believes in. Can two people who have gone through so much trauma and have so many - literal - scars ever really have a happy ending? [Preview] "It's pathetic, I know. I just feel... so much when you're around me. I can't get enough." His voice died down in a whisper before he flicked his eyes up to stare into mine intently. The green in them instantly took my breath away as I got lost and he gulped audibly. "And I don't just like you, Violet. I love you, I really do." My heart stopped beating for a second before it started thrashing violently in my chest. "Harry..." I sighed as I shook my head, but he cut me off. "No, I know you think it's bullshit and that it's too soon and that I'm lying or that I don't know what I'm talking about, but I do." He spilled. "There's so much you don't know about me." I mumbled, tearing my eyes away from his to focus on the pendant that was laying on the mattress. "I don't care." He whispered back and I shook my head. "I... I can't say it back." "I know." I bit my lip at the intensity of this conversation, and I wondered how long it would take Harry to find out he didn't actually love me at all. ** Started: May 2021 ** Finished: November 2021

*(COMPLETED) "The worst thing about being lied to is knowing you weren't worth the truth." He bit his lip. "I wanted to te-" His eyes began to water and as a single tear fell he looked at me and said "but what if you've been lying for so long you don't know how to tell the truth?" "I have and so will you." He shook his head, shut his eyes, and leaned his forehead against the glass. "And here I was thinking you would admit that you don't tell the truth either." I gripped the telephone as my knuckles turned white. "What do you mean?" "Come on Zoey I've seen you sneaking around acting like you're busy. You're hiding something and you won't tell me." All Zoey Campbell ever wanted to do was keep her head down and get through high school. Too bad it isn't that easy. Zoey is tired of everything and everyone. She is tired of being pushed around and tired of watching in the shadows. She is tired of pretending to like that girl that doesn't even know her name. Tired of pretending that she is ok when she isn't. She is constantly hoping for a better way out thinking she should just disappear. All she wants to do is scream but no matter how loud she screams no one can hear her. Don't worry things just get worse. Everyone thinks she's a "sick" girl and just another suicide case waiting to happen. I mean what kind of girl sits by herself everyday right? Zoey is running out of time and she thinks no one has tried to help her until her "special" speech in class. No one really cares about what she really thinks anyway. It just that feeling of pity. Everyone thinks she really is sick but she knows she's not. But what if she is? Maybe all it takes is that one thing to make her snap. As her life gets thrown into chaos and deep dark secrets she can't help but try to figure out the truth. Will she find a way to let her new friends save her or will she just end up as another suicide case? *Disclaimer wrote this in 2017 when I was 14.

20 parts Ongoing
Bound by anonymous notes and a shared vulnerability, two teens, Elena and Nick, one recovering from a bad romance and the other hidden by shyness, unknowingly fall for each other, but their chance at happiness hinges on whether they can shed their pen names and embrace the messy reality of love. __________________________________________ Elena Ahlgrim, still reeling from the wreckage of a toxic relationship, was quietly trying to piece together her fractured sense of self when her melodies drifted into the ears of Nick Huang. Nick, a boy more comfortable behind the curtain of his mother's high school theater program than in the spotlight, was captivated by the unseen voice. Drawn to the music emanating from a theater dressing room, he stumbled upon a forgotten notebook and, on a whim, penned an encouraging message, signing it simply "from your admirer". When Elena nervously retrieved her notebook and found the enigmatic note, she responded in kind, crafting her own message as "mystery siren," unknowingly answering the unspoken question of Nick's heart. Through the pages of the notebook, a connection began to form, fueled by honest words and genuine emotions, yet cloaked in anonymity. As both Nick and Elena find themselves falling for the unseen writer, the question looms large: could these shy souls bridge the gap between pen and person, navigating their own insecurities and the shadows of past loves to find a real-life romance, or would the mystery remain, forever a beautiful song left unsung between them? __________________________________________ ---Book 2 of the Generations series--- ATTENTION! This series could be stand-alone books if you really want them to be ;) Written and Made by: Julia B. Ambrose
