"It's a bittersweet October and I'm headed for the Northern Pines.
Well, this autumn fall feels empty
Black and white leaves touch the ground
You're the only color I've got left and it's slowly fading out."

A story in which two childhood sweethearts drift apart multiple times throughout their lives, flames fizzling out and reigniting.

After Bailey took off to Nashville, Tennessee to further his music career, effectively breaking up with his girlfriend, Ivy, because she couldn't just uproot her life that suddenly  she moved out to South Carolina the following year, leading to them speaking a few times a year.

Everything went fine until she came home to Illinois for her birthday and the one man she never expected to see showed up, courtesy of her older brother.

And an old flame flickered back to life because of that fateful night.

Started October 17th, 2022.

| WATTPAD INDIA AWARDS 2021 SHORTLIST | Like a moth to the flame, Amy finds herself drowning in Jake's chaos, and it doesn't even make sense how she's ready to do anything to see that sun-kissed smile on his face. She is his peace when he is everything that sets her heart and soul in a hurricane. And just like that, all her plans to have a peaceful college life go down the drain. The moment she looks into his black orbs, she finds herself losing in the hands of a guy her mom strictly forbade her to get involved with ever. Who knew four years of college life would become everything she should have never sought for, but also, something she always wanted to, with all her heart. Jake is stubborn, arrogant, and a lot more mysterious about himself than Amy can handle. He is also passionate, an artist with a paintbrush that can create masterpieces and depressed in ways no one bothers to know, except Amy. Amy is undeniably attracted to him. But Jake harbors enough regrets from the past to never seek the light Amy has to offer. Amy slowly manages to break through the walls of redemption Jake has created around himself. But she can never change the fact that our mistakes run deep than any other feeling. When shadows of past mistakes start drowning Jake into a dark pit of chaos, Amy might be his one chance to seek light, his silver lining, and love that can heal the ugliest of scars. But is he willing to heal? Or is it simply too late for him? Cover by @krissthetic

Lila Daniels has spent all of her life living under the protective wings of her three older brothers, Charlie, Lucas and Tucker or in the gymnastics gym training. None of which resulted in much of a social life. All of that changes though the summer before Lila's junior year of high school when her dad gets a new job in a different state. Being forced to transplant her life to the small town of Romeo without her brothers or gymnastics means Lila is on her own for the first time in her life. How is she supposed to start over from scratch and make new friends now?! The thought of having to meet all new people for someone who likes to fly under the radar is hard enough, but to do it at age sixteen? That feels impossible. As fate would have it, Lila meets Payton Johnson on her first day at RHS who introduces her to Rachel, Kelly and Claire. The five become fast friends. The girls make it their mission to break Lila from her shyness and make Romeo feel like home. Oh, and they also recruit her to join their cheer team which isn't something Lila ever thought she'd feel confident enough to do. Then there's Tyler Johnson. He's the senior football captain, star quarterback and most popular guy in school who happens to also be Payton's older brother. Lila doesn't want to catch feelings for her new besties brother, but quickly realizes you can't really control who you crush on. It's not like Tyler would ever go for her anyways, when he's got so many other girls begging for his attention....or would he? If you're looking for a coming of age love story with strong female friendships, comic relief, overly protective brothers, self discovery, silly small town traditions and a slow burn....then look no further! #1 in "Cheerleader" August 2022 #1 in "Journal" November 2022 #1 in "First Kiss" May 2022 #1 in "Small Towns" May 2022 #8 in " Teen Fiction" June 2022 #2 in "Football" August 2022 #2 in "chick lit" August 2022 #1 in "Teen Romance" September 2022

It's easy to love someone when things are perfect and everything's wonderful. But, to love someone when things are difficult, when they're not being perfect, when they're messing up, flaws are seen, mistakes are made...that's what really allow you to see how much love there is really. Anyone can love someone who doing and saying all the right things, being everything you want and need, when they're got it all together and it all figured it out. But, to love someone at their lowest, to love someone despite how broken they feel, when they're lost, when you're willing to stand by them no matter how challenging or difficult things may be, that kind of love is a lot more beautiful. That kind of love is a lot more meaningful. Thank you for loving me both times when things are good and bad, up and down. Thank you for taking in every aspect and part of me, accepting my flaws, forgiving my mistakes and helping me become the best version of me. 06/26/2021-02/19/2022 Rankings: #181 in black 9/16/2021 #2 in blackcharacters 9/16/2021 #570 in urban 9/16/2021 #20 in urbannovel 9/16/2021 #3 in blackstory 9/16/2021

But Monica McCaslin didn't think she would ever be one of those people, would ever have one of those moments. Brought up in a small suburb, with everything she could ever ask for, there wasn't much left for her to want. Monica's ordinary life was to go as such- follow her high school sweetheart to college, graduate, get married, have two kids; the cookie cutter life. White picket fence included. What she did not expect was to meet a dark-haired stranger sitting all alone on a park bench, at that very same school she was to attend with said future husband. After a brief conversation, just a handful of words between them, Monica decides to go on a cross-country road trip with him; putting her faith and future in the hands of a stranger. Thinking she'd soon regret her decision and the life she left behind, she realizes she doesn't at all. Free of expectation and a future that she thought was set in stone, she begins to find the woman she was truly meant to be. State by state, with each border they cross, Monica liberates her true self. π”Ήπ• π• π•œ βžƒ 𝕠𝕗 βžƒ - β„‚π• π•žπ•‘π•π•–π•₯𝕖 - ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ This is a work of fiction.

[COMPLETED] Autumn Cross is now in 12th grade at her new school, Willington High, with only one goal in mind: passing the 12th grade and going to a good college. But her world changes when she meets Ryder Becker. Ryder Becker is one of the most popular boys in all of Willington High. I mean, all the boys want to be him and all the girls worship him. He could care less about grades because he knows that football is what's going to get him into a good college. But his carelessness in grades changes when he meets Autumn. Not only does Autumn get partnered up with Ryder for the biggest class project of the whole year, she also lives on the same street as him. In the beginning she thinks it's a total curse, but maybe it's a blessing in disguise... They both may pretend on the outside that they are fine, but truth be told, they are both broken. The way his smile doesn't match his sad eyes draws her towards him, and the scars and bruises on her skin draw him towards her. A cure for your sadness could be another person, right? Well put her broken pieces together with his, and you have cracked the code. Love could put their broken pieces back together. ----------------------------------- A sky full of stars and he was still staring at me. "Why are you staring like that?" I asked him. "You scare me, Autumn." Ryder admitted. "How come?" He looked down at the grass beneath us then back at me and gulped. "Because I want to tell you secrets I'm too scared to admit to myself." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 🀍I wrote this when I was around 13-14 (i'm 19 now) so some chapters may be cringy but I am too lazy to rewrite them, and still so many people enjoy this book and i'm truly grateful! But sorry in advance for scenes that may seem unrealistically cringe...I was young and naive. But anyways,enjoy the book (hoping to write more books in the future)🀍 Highest rank: 2019 #1 scars 03/12 #7 love 04/30 #4 romance 06/07 #1 highschool 06/07 #5 teen fiction 06/09 #1 cute 06/15 #1 lovers
