𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐖𝐄 𝐂𝐎𝐔𝐋𝐃 𝐁𝐄, JESUS FOSTER
❝Alia, I wanna try again. You and me. I've been thinking about you crazy and if we don't date I might just bust a gut.❞ ❝Well I don't want you to hurt yourself.❞ Alia smirked, leaning in. Alia Mendoza was Jesus's first real love-bright, artistic, and full of fire. But just as their connection began to deepen, Alia was abruptly pulled out of his life when her conservative parents forced her to move away, fearing her growing bond with the Foster family and Jesus's influence. What they didn't know was that the two never really stopped talking. For months, Jesus and Alia have secretly stayed in touch through late-night phone calls, private texts, and heartfelt video chats. So when Alia suddenly returns to town for her sophomore year-enrolling at Anchor Beach-Jesus sees it as their second chance. He's ready to pick up where they left off, only this time, he's determined to make it real: no more sneaking around, no more hiding. But love the second time around isn't so simple. Alia's home life is still tense, and her parents have strict expectations. Jesus is still recovering from his traumatic brain injury, struggling with impulse control, anger, and frustration-things he tries to hide from her. Mariana is suspicious, Stef and Lena are cautious, and Emma isn't exactly thrilled that Alia's back in the picture. As the past crashes into the present, Jesus and Alia must decide if their love can survive the complications that drove them apart in the first place. Can they build something lasting-or is this reunion just a beautiful mistake?Complete
The Weather of Us
He met her in a storm. He found her hair tie on the ground. He returned it the next day like it meant something. After getting dumped in the middle of a train station downpour, Elara Hayes is officially done with romance, heartbreak, and boys who fold at the first sign of feelings. What she doesn't expect is the stranger watching her from across the platform - or the fact that he finds the pink hair tie she dropped and keeps it like it matters. Kade Vance wasn't planning on following her to a café the next morning. He wasn't planning on crossing the room, handing back the hair tie, and asking if she's okay in that rough, quiet voice that sounds like thunder about to break. But storms have a way of pulling people toward each other. She's soft and chaotic - raised between divorced parents who treat feelings like ammunition. He's calm and dangerous - the boy everyone warns her about, the one who watches the world like he's always waiting for it to hit first. They weren't supposed to collide again. They definitely weren't supposed to fall this fast. But when her family dinner explodes and Kade texts her at the exact moment she breaks, everything shifts. Too fast. Too intense. Too much. Exactly like the weather. Now Elara's trying to figure out why a stranger feels safer than her own family, and Kade's trying to hide how hard he's already fallen. Because the truth is simple: She's the calm after his storm. He's the storm she's been waiting for. And some people don't just meet - they collide.

Where the Skies are Blue
Once upon a time, there was a boy with pink-dusted cheeks that waited for Skylar outside class every morning to walk her to her next one.
