Many would say that Cecelia Bennett is just a normal, American girl. She has good grades, an exceptionally loving boyfriend, amazing looks, and supportive friends and family. You could say she has it all.
Although knew she should be thankful for this, she can't help but feel as though something is missing in her life, causing a tremendous amount of guilt in her day-to-day life. She's constantly battling with her thoughts; telling herself what she should be doing and feeling, and comparing them to the things that she unfortunately feels in reality. Her parents would think it was disgraceful, a sin, truly. If only she had the courage to tell her friends or family about the sinful thoughts. The thoughts that kept her up at night, the thoughts that made her cry until her pillows were completely covered in tears and mascara. The thoughts that make her question her own worth.
While she tries everything to keep her real life and feelings a secret, her parents seem to have figured it out leading her into a path of many dilemmas, and maybe even love?

Sweetheart
[COMPLETE] 18+ (but if you're not 18, I won't tell on you) --- It had been a mistake. It had all happened so fast. The look on her parents' faces when they found out had been devastating. Perhaps that was why she didn't complain when they decided to send her to a small village in Canada, away from the chaotic and luxurious Los Angeles, with the excuse of being an exchange student for a year. Grace Castle was more than happy to welcome Elizabeth "Lizzie" Wright in her modest house, along with her son Nate and, well, Aaron. It had been 2 years since Grace had taken in the troubled 18-year-old boy, after the tragedy that had occurred to him and his family. Dark and untamable like smoke, Aaron was the exact opposite of Lizzie, groomed to be the perfect woman, always following the rules, and stepping out of line only that one time. One time that cost her a year away from her old city, far away from curious ears and judging eyes. A year that was going to change her life completely, tumbling into a den of lions ready to devour her as soon as they had her in their pack as one of their own. He would not let her have it easy. It was time for sweet, docile Lizzie to face the world and its snakes. He'd make sure of that. Though... was he sure she was not just yet another wolf in a sheep's clothing? Was her heart as pure as he believed, or could it be shaded with swirls of gray smoke like his? ---Complete![Lesson Learned : UNIVERSITY LIFE [COMPLETED]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/230120646-256-k121136.jpg)

Waiting Until Dawn {Mike Monroe x Reader}
"Back to this hellhole, huh?" "I wouldn't call it a hellhole" He mutters. "Oh, but I would." I snap harshly. He almost flinches. "(Y/n), I'm sorry. It wasn't supposed to get out of hand like that..." I cut him off. "I know. But I can't believe you would ever think of doing that. It's cruel!" He looks away in shame. "I'm sorry." He says again. "It's not me you should have apologized to." I say, hot tears threatening to spill. I didn't know who to feel about him. I was so completely in love with him, maybe I still am, but they were my best friends. I just wish everything could have been different.Complete
