We search for better questions
Not answers

When Love Lasts
SHORT STORY!! There are three things you should know before you start reading our story. One, my name is Vanessa and I'm a fucking idiot. I'm not stupid or anything, I just make idiotic choices that make my life so much harder. Two, this isn't a very good story. Nothing here is perfect and I'm not a very good story teller. It's messy, crazy, unplanned, and at times, it's just fucking stupid. Three, I've always wondered what the point of life is. Being a second choice for everyone around you will make you feel small, invisible, so what's really the point. That always leads me to the question: What is life? I never really found an answer for it, so if you know, please provide me with some insight. Well, now that I have warned each of you, this is the start of our story.Complete

Destination Reached
One plane ride could change your life. SOPHIA RANDALL likes her routines. She plans everything, down to the very last second. And Sophia is content to stay in the radius of her hometown in Brookline, Massachusetts forever and ever. Change is not a word that exists in her vocabulary. Sophia doesn't take risks. She doesn't see the point. That is, until her free spirited sister, Abby, convinces her to take a trip to Hawaii. Then everything changes, because Sophia meets Jake... JACOB SULLIVAN JONES doesn't know who he is. His estranged parents have tried to control his entire life according to their plan. He has two options, and picking one would be like picking a parent. Jacob knows what everyone else wants with one glance. Hawaii is his last chance to find out what he wants, not anyone else. It seemed like the perfect solution to his problems. One whole summer on his own, no parents, no impending responsibility. Enter Sophia, who Jake falls in love with the moment he lays eyes on her. Spending a summer in Hawaii, even if you do have to work at a tourist excursion company, is every eighteen year old's dream. Surf, sand, and crystal clear waters, there isn't much more you could ask for. Sophia's goal is to steer clear of any present danger, and Jake's goal is to jump headfirst into it. What could possibly go wrong? WARNING: This book may cause bouts of nausea, anger, and loneliness. You may also experience sudden outbursts of excitement, and/or an overwhelming urge to squeal. A sweet, coming of age story, covered in a thick helping of comedic relief, adorable moments, and summer vacation nostalgia.
