Parties, spending time with her friends and trying to get along with her family... that's all Natasha thinks she has to worry about this summer after her year abroad. 

But things don't always go as planned.

Her ex boyfriend, Max Reed, is newly single and looking for fun. Natasha might just fit the bill if she's willing to play his games.

Then there's Alec, her childhood best friend, who's blurring the lines of their friendship. Will rocking the boat now change their relationship until it is unsalvageable? And are either of them willing to risk it?

It's going to be a long summer and anything is possible...

Bayside by abik3726
59 parts Complete Mature
In the sleepy coastal town of Bayside, four friends make up the families they never had. JJ, Alexis, Maddox, and Aaron have always been inseparable-bound by secret scars, late-night bonfires, and the fragile promise of something better. But when JJ's mother, a longtime heroin addict, vanishes without a trace just weeks into summer, everything begins to unravel. As JJ becomes obsessed with finding her, he's joined by Carly, the new girl whose innocent eyes and unrelenting optimism make him question everything. The two form an unexpected bond, shaking the foundation of JJ's long-standing friendships. Alexis, who's been in love with JJ for as long as she can remember, watches their connection deepen with a quiet ache. Maddox, battling demons he refuses to name, starts to drift in the opposite direction, and even Aaron can't seem to hold the group together. Over the course of one sweltering summer, loyalties are tested, hearts are broken, and the friends are forced to confront painful truths about themselves, their pasts, and each other. As the search for JJ's mother leads to darker places, they realize that not all who are lost want to be found-and sometimes, the hardest person to save is the one standing right beside you. Bayside is an emotional coming-of-age story about love unspoken, the weight of addiction, and the way friendships bend under pressure-and sometimes break. tropes: - found family - friends to lovers - pining - slow burn - angst

"You shouldn't need to drink to try and drown your feelings Kayla. I've watched the people around me do this all my life and it doesn't fix anything." "I know it won't fix anything, but for right now it helps me forget" "You can't keep running away or hiding. In the end it all catches up." "You sound like you've been through this before." "I guess you could say that." "You want me to open up to you, but are you ever going to open up to me? I want to get to know you Tyler, but you are so closed off. You know why I got knocked over by that wave? Because I was watching you, I was watching your face and seeing how free you felt riding that wave. It's the only time I've ever seen you let go. You know that someone hurt me, but I think you have been hurt too. When you're ready to talk, I'll be waiting. Maybe we can help each other." "Maybe I'm not worth getting to know" he replied. "And maybe I'm not worth you trying to save me either. Or maybe I am" With that I got up and left him to think about what I said. I put my cards on the table, now it was up to him to make the next move. ******** A year ago, Kayla had it all, doting parents and a relationship with her older brother that others envied. By the end of junior year that changed, she's left broken after a series of events in her life, but she is determined to hide her pain from her friends and enjoy the summer. That is until she meets Tyler, who can see right through the hurt. He has his own secrets though and isn't ready to let anyone in. Together they will either fall apart or fall together.

NOTE: I REVISED BEFORE YOU GO, SO THERE WILL BE SOME MISINFORMATION IN THIS ONE REGARDING LEON & ELIZA'S RELATIONSHIP. I WILL FIX IT SOON, THOUGH! * I would HIGHLY recommend reading BEFORE YOU GO and THE ONE YOU FIGHT FOR before you read this novel. This novel is a criss-cross between them and will include some major spoilers!* Leo Sangster has a bucket list tucked away safely, folded between the pages of his favourite book. And it's been there for nearly fifteen years. He hasn't tried to read it. He can't. He won't. Because that one piece of paper is a large piece of his father -- someone he's never met and never will be able to meet. But as Leo finds himself heading to Whistler, BC to explore where his father was born and who he was before he died in a car accident, he begins to wonder if that bucket list could give him any clues. Aria Madden is the daughter of the now-retired, famous NHL player, Luke Madden. Anyone would consider that a lot to live up to, but Aria is content with her current position. In January, she'll be competing in the Winter Olympics for Canada's women's hockey team. Over the summer, she's going to be training in Whistler, BC with the rest of the team, all while staying at her aunt's house. But even though it seems like she has everything under control, Aria is stuck in a whirlwind of anxiety. While she's happy and excited that her hard work has paid off, she's worried she won't live up to her father's legacy. When Leo and Aria cross paths on a fateful summer day, they're thrown into the chaos of an unforgettable summer adventure -- filled with charming and mysterious people, astounding views, and alpine air. But as the summer continues on and the heat is amped up, undeniable chemistry begins to brew between the two of them. But what happens when summer ends and they have to go their separate ways? Will they give up on the chemistry or will they find a way to make it work?
