Gen Cross has lived her whole life feeling invisible. She's the middle child in her family, born after a rambunctious older sister who is in the process of planning her wedding, and before a younger sister with special needs. With her dad always on the road as a truck driver and her mom wrapped up in handling her other two siblings, Gen is perfectly content spending her time with her group of friends. Especially Vale Morgan, her lifelong bestie who practically lives for Gen's incredible pastry making abilities. Being a pastry chef is all she's ever wanted to do with her life, and she's just been given the opportunity to attend a semester long pastry arts program in Boston. But the program costs $20,000. Unable to pay the tuition costs, Gen begins bartering to raise money to attend this semester long program. A place where she might finally feel visible. But in trying to be seen, will Gen miss out on the one person who's seen her all along?

"Listen Kenzy, I know I've been an ass and truthfully maybe you shouldn't even bother returning my calls. You're right, I've been nothing but awful since we met, driving you away yet desperate to keep you close" My heart clinches, but I dared not breathe. Too afraid to give in, too afraid that if I reach for the phone, I'll call. I'll call to make it right. I want to make it right, because this man affects me more than I ever thought he would. But it isn't right. I can't give myself false hope. "Please just talk to me, let me explain. It's not you.....it's me. I'm the asshole. You don't deserve this, you didn't. ..." He pauses and I hold my breath still, fearing he'd hear me breathe, yet, it's only his left voicemail on the phone. Not him "I'm sorry.......dammit!" And that's it, our one sided conversation ends and I'm more broken than before. What happens when your world crashes? When the people you thought would be there forever literally runs through the door without a second glance backwards? What happens with taking a step outside your comfort zone? What happens when that step outside that comfort zone turns into....well unexpected? Personalities clash, feelings are crushed and just maybe that one person you ignore turns out to be the damn life savers. Easy enough, but did I forget to mention they belong to someone else? Will what happens in summer stay with summer? The beautiful cover was done by @LittleRedConverse23, go check out her great work ❤❤❤ #thebuttercupawards2020 #RoseAwards

We are moving and I didn't knew about it until now.... "You all are coming with us too. Sophie got enrolled in Architecture and Designing college of Los Angeles and Liam will finish his school there." She lays out her plan and no one thought what I would do if I leave everything behind here and I am not included here again. "Ok so everything is already planned. Sophie got enrolled in the college already, dad has set his business and I get to know this now." I laugh humorlessly pushing away my plate . "what about me mom? Dad?" I look at them for an answer. "What about my life here? My career? My plans about life here? You didn't thought to tell me before taking decision on my behalf?" "I never had a courage to ask before but, why do you both hate me so much? What have I done to always get your hatred?" I ask as the tears threaten my eyes but I won't allow them to leave my eyes. Ivy has craved for love and attention her entire life and Tyler comes into her life and sweeps her off her feet. He fills her life with all the happiness and love she deserves. She is a shy, innocent and a nerd. He is the most handsome boy of the college whom everyone knows. She likes to read books and doesn't like to be noticed. He is a photographer and loves adventure. They are polar opposites but fate brings them together. Most of the people she had close to her heart left her and Tyler is the only one she has left. Will he stay? How will she deal with the losses she has faced? ------------------------------------------- #1 - bakery (28/07/2022) Started on- September 25 , 2020

Have you ever met someone who alters the course of your life? For good or for bad, they've come in, given and taken, and then- BOOM! Your life was never the same. There's always a change, an altering of reality. When you meet those people, the reality that you've known your whole life is suddenly gone and a new one has taken its place. When those moments happen, there's no going back. You can try to return to the way things were but nothing, and I mean nothing, can take you back to exactly how it was. That's what happened to us. I think that's why we're still trying so desperately to get back to some sort of normalcy. Four years later and we're still on the ground, crawling, in search of the happiness that was lost that June. Summers will never be the same. Midnight walks through my neighborhood will never be the same. Field parties with bonfires and loud music will never be the same. I still don't know why you left and what lead you to the decision you made. What I do know is that we're here. We're alive and we're pushing forward to the future. A future that you're not a part of. But in some ways, I'm glad you're not a part of it. I just wish it wasn't like this. *** TRIGGER WARNING*** SA, abuse, suicide, substance abuse, and mental illness. This is a complete story that is much like life; fast, full of surprises, and not always how we want it to be. This has been a project of mine for over three years. It was self-published on Amazon, but after some issues in publication, I decided to just upload it on here. I hope you fall in love with these characters like I have. The friends in this story are trying to make names for themselves, figure out who they are, who they can trust, how to love, and how to separate themselves from a restrictive community. As in any coming of age story, they will experience growing pains... but will they survive them before its too late? PLEASE READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS.

22 parts Ongoing
Emily, a shy American girl, moves to the Amish community in Buffalo, Missouri, where she meets Jacob, a handsome Amish cowboy, at a local grocery store. They begin exchanging heartfelt letters under an old red bud tree, with Jacob teaching Emily Pennsylvania Deitsch. Emily's baking skills, especially her cinnamon rolls and pecan pie, win over Jacob's family and the community. They celebrate their first anniversary with traditional Amish customs, surrounded by love and support from their community. Their journey is marked by faith, love, and the joy of finding a true home in each other. Jacob and Emily's twins, a boy named Ethan, and a girl named Lily, brought even more joy and love into their lives. Each child had a unique personality that complemented their parents and enriched their family dynamic. Ethan was a curious and adventurous boy, always eager to explore the world around him. He inherited Jacob's love for animals and the outdoors, often spending hours playing with the farm animals and helping with chores. Ethan had a natural talent for building things, much like his father, and he loved working alongside Jacob on various projects around the farmhouse. His inquisitive nature and boundless energy kept everyone on their toes, and his laughter was a constant source of happiness. Lily, on the other hand, was gentle and thoughtful, with a deep love for books and stories. She shared Emily's shyness but had a quiet confidence that shone through in her creative pursuits. Lily loved to sit with Emily in the kitchen, learning to bake and listening to stories about their family's journey. She had a talent for drawing and often filled the farmhouse with her beautiful artwork, capturing the serene landscapes and moments of their life in Hiroshima. Lily's compassionate nature made her a beloved friend to everyone in the community.
