Sometimes you have to leave home to find it. 
Maggie Foxcroft's life is utterly upended when her crazy parents announce they will be going on a vacation. A long vacation. Like the entirety of second trimester, Maggie will have to leave her friends, the dive team, and whatever blooming relationship she had with Noah Walters. 
It's only a few months everyone keeps telling her, but Michigan seems further away everyday she wakes up in Florida. 
Then she meets the charming Jack Grant, golden boy at the small, private Christian academy her parents enrolled her in for the trimester. As she grows closer to him and their scheduled return date, her friends back home seem more distant.  
When she arrived all she wanted to do was turn straight back around and fly home, but what happens when home becomes less of a place and more of a person?

Gabriel & Athena, Book One: Fate  (A Wattpad Featured Story) by NMBooks
26 parts Complete
FORMERLY TITLED "FATUM" Chosen as a Wattpad Featured Story in May 2017 There's a reason high school senior Athena Thorpe spends every available moment reading books: fiction is always so much better than the real world. Even the unexpected scandal she suffered thanks to Jackson Montgomery was just a blip in her typically mundane existence in Sparrow, North Carolina. But no story could ever compare to the life-altering events that occur when Gabriel Valente moves into town. Being the son of a notorious crime lord and having grown up on the streets of Manhattan, Gabriel defies all the expectations the students of Sparrow High have for him, including Athena's. She never expected he would match her interest in the written word, or his unlikely grand gestures and definitely not the immediate but intense feelings which cause them to spiral into a secret relationship. A relationship that hinders on Gabriel's uncertain future, which could find him being the heir to the mob throne. Whether or not she wants to admit it, Athena knows the world Gabriel comes from is a dark and violent one. It's just really easy to pretend it doesn't exist within the bubble that is Sparrow. Yet, no matter how much we pretend, reality is never far away, with Gabriel and Athena learning a tragic lesson about choice and consequence a little too late. When you finally decide what you want most in life, the next question becomes: will fate agree?

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.

For 17-year-old high school senior Evan Brooks, life could be better. He's a social outcast at school, stuck in a rural Alabama small town he never wanted to move to, and he's got a secret he's desperately trying to keep: he's gay. When he embarks on a weekend vacation to the Florida panhandle with his hypermasculine brother, homophobic stepdad, and aloof mother, none of them can anticipate how much a simple 3-day trip will change their lives forever... CONTENT WARNING/TRIGGERS: Please note that this story contains very strong language at times and some mature themes. Some characters face emotional abuse. There is also a small amount of physical abuse, but it is mostly implied apart from one scene which is not extremely graphic. Some characters are homophobic, and a slur is used a handful of times. **2025 Update: Hi! This was my very first attempt at crafting an entire story from scratch all the way back in 2020, and I'd like to think my writing has since improved. I will soon be revisiting this story and making some enhancements - most notably, splitting up current chapters into smaller ones so they are much more easily digestible. In addition, I'll be making some edits to grammar and formatting, as well as giving some of the dialog a refresh in an effort to be less...cringe. Lol. There are also a few plot points I want to smooth out. While all of this is happening, the story will still be available in full here on Wattpad, though you may notice some "construction" happening (i.e. one chapter is very long and then there's a super short chapter, one chapter is formatted differently than another, etc.) Thanks for your patience while I work to spruce up this story :) I hope you still enjoy it in the meantime!

25 parts Complete Mature

This story can be read as a stand-alone but it's recommended to read My Brothers best friend to understand as this is a continuation of that story. Holly never thought she would end up falling in love with her brother's best friend. After the summer of her life with Cam, Parker, and Sawyer, it's finally time to move on to college and get that fresh start she's been waiting for, with her best friend. She wasn't prepared, however, for all of the Lots of partying and drama that went down. Will Sawyer and Holly's bond be strong enough to endure a long distance relationship while he's off working hard in law school or was their love simply a summer romance doomed from the start? Another ultra cliché Wattpad story, so be prepared for some drama and heartbreak. *Still in need of major editing and revising. It's a work-in-progress*
