When We Were Home

Twelve years ago, Jupiter Blue Bristow-Winthrop disappeared.
One night, one decision, one final glance over her shoulder-and she was gone.
All she took was her little brother's hand, a locket pressed tight against her chest, and a love she was never supposed to keep.
Now, she's back.
Not because she wants to be.
Because sometimes the past isn't finished with you.
The town feels different. Smaller. The streets she once memorized now blur together like a life she can't quite remember.
But the things that mattered-the ones that broke her-those haven't changed.
The boy who never stopped believing in her.
The girl she never stopped loving.
The version of herself she had to kill to survive.
Coming back was never part of the plan.
But some ghosts refuse to stay quiet.
And some goodbyes are just the start of a different kind of story.
"Twelve years. One look. And suddenly I'm 13 again and wrecked." - Alessandra 'Ale' Marques

𝓡𝓲𝓼𝓴 ━━━━ Walker Scobell
❝IN MY HEAD YOU'RE IN THE CAR AND YOU'RE COMING TO ME AND YOU GET TO MY DOOR AND YOU CANT EVEN SPEAK BUT I THINK THATS ITS SWEET YEAH I THINK THAT YOU'RE SWEET ❞ The thing about growing up in Hollywood was that everyone knew of everyone. You just didn't always know each other. Clara Hayes and Walker Scobell were a perfect example of that. To Clara, he was just her brothers , Oliver annoying best friend - the loud one who showed up at her house sometimes, laughing too hard at something Oliver said, stealing snacks from the kitchen like he lived there. To Walker, she was Oliver's little sister - the quiet one who was always either leaving for ballet, buried in scripts, or coming home late from sets with tired eyes and a polite smile that never really stayed long enough to turn into a conversation. They had crossed paths for years without ever really meeting. Not properly. Not in a way that mattered. Clara was always somewhere else - ballet rehearsals that stretched late into the night, filming projects in different cities, award shows she barely remembered half of, or hidden away with headphones on, trying to exist in her own world between schedules. Walker stayed in a different orbit entirely - usually with Oliver, sometimes with Mason and the Percy Jackson group, always surrounded by noise, jokes, and movement. He never really stood still long enough to end up in the same quiet spaces Clara occupied.
The Silent Sister
Alessandra has never believed in safety. Life never gave her a reason to. Pain carved her childhood, silence became her armor, and trust? That was a luxury she could never afford. So when she runs -- bloody, broken, and barely breathing, she doesn't expect saving. She certainly doesn't expect to be taken in by a family dripping in wealth and power and. . . warmth? A mother who refuses to give up on her. A father who watches like he's waiting for her to let him in. And six brothers. Rough. Protective. Complicated. Brothers, who don't know what to do with a sister who won't speak. She doesn't know how to trust. How to believe that maybe not everyone wants to hurt her. Every instinct tells her to run. To shut down. But they don't let her go. Not when she flinches. Not when she hides. Not even when she breaks. Happiness is for other people, or that's what she believes. But when love comes wrapped in gentle patience and fierce protection, when hands reach for her without demand, when hearts break themselves wide open just to hold her... she starts to wonder. Can a girl stitched together with silence and fear ever belong in a family built on love? Can she stand tall when the ghosts of her past refuse to let go? And when danger claws its way back into her life, threatening everything she's come to know... will she find her voice, or will she shatter all over again? Trigger Warnings: Child abuse. Violence. Addiction. Panic attacks. SA. Self-harm. Death, and more.

Indecorous
(18+ EXPLICIT CONTENT) "Attract a lot of attention, huh beautiful?" His voice hit me like a wall, absurdly catching me off guard. It was deep, sensual, something any girl (or boy) could melt over. I was sort of speechless, yet trying my best to appear unafflicted. "Only the wrong ones." That was definitely drunken me talking, as I didn't usually have that much confidence. His lips twitched up into a smirk, expressing that he understood my comment. "Does that mean that I'm in that category?" My palms began to grow sweaty and my heart rate picked up, but otherwise my body remained relaxed, appearing completely fine. It similar to when you're on autopilot, completely withdrawn due to intoxication. "I suppose not," I crossed my arms, putting on this seductive persona just for him. This fueled his smirk, about to murmur another comment before I cut him off. "You'll have to show me, though." *** Amelia Hollis was a 23-year-old writer at one of the local publishing companies, assisting a very handsome man and writing articles left and right. Her and her best friend, Aviary, lived together in a cute little apartment off the central part of the city, yearning to create new memories and important moments. Amelia always lived for the moments, taking in every little detail and savoring it like it was her favorite meal. She was an optimist, hoping to change peoples lives with her dreams. James Vallette was a 34-year-old CEO, building his company from dirt with the help of his brother. He was a realist, not really having time to deal with dreams or even love. He knew this the night he laid eyes on Amelia. It was only casual; what harm could a one-night stand do? Oh yeah, he's her dad's boss.Completa

At Rosebridge University, Mirabel and Caden meet again-not as lovers, but as best friends carrying unspoken history.

But now that "someday" is here, everything is more complicated than he ever imagined. She's stronger. He's quieter. And their hearts? Still speaking the language of "what ifs." But in between stolen glances, late-night talks, and buried memories, their story is far from over. Because sometimes, letting go was never the end. It was just the pause before everything changed.Completa
Chameleon ✔️
I have three secrets. 1. I'm in the witness protection program. I witnessed my mother's murder when I was eight years old, and now the murderer is after me. 2. I can read minds. Or not "read" them... not exactly. But I can feel them. Every emotion has a color. An aura, as I call it. And I can feel those auras. I can feel the color of one's thoughts. 3. I can't feel Elijah Whitney's aura. [ COMPLETED - 1.28.16 ] [ LATEST REVISION - 8.17.19 ] [ SEQUEL COMING FALL 2019 ]Completa
