Always, Almost Everything by novelsbymiya

In the final year of high school, everything is supposed to make sense; your friends, your future, your place in the world. But for one girl, everything begins to unravel just when it should all be coming together. After a sudden breakup and growing distance from her friend group, she's forced to navigate heartbreak, pressure, and the kind of loneliness that no one sees from the outside. As she drifts further from who she used to be, she starts making choices that challenge her values and test the limits of her identity. But healing comes slowly-in quiet moments, new friendships, and unexpected clarity. Told with honesty, heart, and the soft ache of growing up, this is a story about falling apart and finding your way back. It's about the people who leave, the ones who stay, and the version of yourself that you fight to become.

|| wattpad-featured || || romance reads 2020 2nd place winner || ❝i hope you're not afraid of heights.❞ ❝why so?❞ ❝cause we're gonna fly. ❞ ▬▬▬▬▬▬ Audrey Olsen is an introverted perfectionist and bookworm with the idée fixe of having everything planned out to the finest detail. All she wants is to get through her senior year of high school unscarred and qualify for a college scholarship. What lays ahead is, therefore, nice and clear: just another quiet year amongst studies, shifts at the bookshop, and -- most importantly -- avoidance of drama and unnecessary attention. However, what her perfect plan didn't consider was an unexpected turn of events with the name of Cameron Alvarez -- a troubled and cryptic boy who's returning to what could no longer feel like home. Both haunted by their painful pasts and bearing raging storms inside of them, how could they overcome it all if not together? Yet how dangerous would that be, -- to step off the edge of the precipice and let nothing but the force of gravity interfere as you free-fall. . . But as Audrey well knows, anything that falls, sooner or later gets broken. Is that a risk she's willing to take? ▬▬▬▬▬▬ © All Rights Reserved. 2020 FEATURED ON: @YA @YARomance @TeenFiction @Romance @WattpadMulticultural @WattCliches || highest ranks reached - #1 in sociallyawkward ||

Foggy Avenues | UNEDITED DRAFT by kendallxgray

(THIS IS THE ORIGINAL DRAFT, MISSING FUNDAMENTAL EDITS IN THE SOLD FINAL) Des Flores can't hear people's thoughts if they take place presently. She can't predict what somebody is going to say or do seconds before they act. She can see memories and memories only. When she was thirteen, she discovered that it wasn't just her imagination answering questions about people. She could see what traumas manufactured shitty characteristics in everyone she met, which made leveling with people simpler. But it made all interactions exhausting. Her mind skipped to the three-month-mark where every ounce of childhood baggage was already known. She knew the middle-aged stranger in the minivan honked because an incomplete stop is what took his daughter from him, years before. She knew the cashier at the dollar store complimented her choice of nail polish because her wife wore it in high school. And she knew that if people knew of her gift, they'd avoid her. Having secrets was hardly an option. Everything that once was would be invaded by her inexplicit key to anyone's mind. _ Dessie threw everything she owned into her chipped, blue SUV and moved to Port Angeles for the rain and for the peace of mind. For the space to ask questions, but instead, there were too many answers.

Beckett Davis: I've been in love with Bailey Connors since I was 7 years old and she gave me back my soccer ball. We've been neighbors for years, even sharing windows facing each other's bedrooms. Our families are close, I view her grandfather as my own. The only thing is, I still can't bring myself to say more than a few words to the girl who occupies most of my thoughts. Going into my last year of high school, I needed the chance to have my world shifted by Bailey Connors. Bailey Connors: I broadcasted my crush on Beckett Davis in the 2nd grade after decorating him a cookie. And every time after that when I can't control how my face heats around him. My grandfather adores the boy next door, and who doesn't? I'm embarrassed of how long it took me to reach for things I may want, instead of just letting things happen to me. Beckett's seen some of my worst moments from afar, but what would it be like for him to see them up close? #1 in bookworm #1 in highschoolromance #1 in foundfamily #1 in goldenretriever #1 in neighbors #1 in teenromance #1 in friendstolovers
