Leah and Alex have been best friends forever, which is super convenient-except they're both completely oblivious to the fact that they're in love with each other.
Clearly, they should be together, but hey, why make things easy? Instead, they spend years dancing around their feelings like it's a complicated game of "who can mess up their life more."
And honestly, if they just talked to each other once or twice, this whole mess would've been over in...* drum roll * ...* drum roll intensifies * ...a chapter !
But nope, they'd rather be dramatic, make bad decisions, and send a million texts that never get answered. Will they finally stop being idiots and admit their feelings? Maybe. But don't hold your breath!
These two somehow always miss their shot, even though it's written in neon lights .
From accidental pregnancies to missing flights, life seems to go out of its way to throw obstacles in their path. They text, they don't text, they live in different countries, they don't live in different countries, and they make every bad decision possible-except the one that actually fixes everything. Will they figure it out, or will they keep being ridiculously stubborn for the next decade?
A hilariously ( I hope) messy love story about the "right person, wrong time," or maybe just the "wrong people, right awful timing."

Selfless
Avery Johnson is a mediocre girl, living in a mediocre world. Or so she thinks. She's an only child and her parents are still happily married. Her best friends are Simone and Alexio. Alexio Ramones is the boy next door, but he's also the mysterious troublemaker at Harrison High. Their friendship has been kept between them since the day she was born. Sure, it was never an actual secret, they just never felt the need to tell anyone, and didn't talk in school since they belonged in different social groups. Love is inevitable. Drama is also inevitable seeing as they're teenagers trying to figure out why the hell you need to learn algebra in school because you'll never need it after graduation either way. Alexio is an ignorant and selfish bastard when it comes to everything except Avery. He's loved her for years and given her all the signs she should have needed to figure it out. Everything. Yet, the moment Adam joins their school, she starts dating him and Alexio is left feeling his heart shattering as the love of literally all his life finds happiness in someone else. In another man. He's selfless until suddenly he's not and the world falls apart. For once it's not the girl that gets her heart broken by the bad boy, rather the other way around.Complete

A synopsis? Ugh. I thought the title was clear enough but here goes. *clears throat* I'm Alex Ryle, suburban cult leader and TV show connoisseur. Falling for a girl out of my league on my first day in the Land of the Free wasn't on my to-do list, and neither was becoming friends with a multibillionaire and an over excitable... word? (I don't quite know what to call him yet). There's also the blonde spawn of satan ruining my life but we're not going to mention her. Add a weird shirt and a slightly douchey jock to the party, and well... Those are the basic ingredients. Good luck on your quest, pigeons and Mordor refugees!

Driven to Distraction
Alex Thompson was due to marry her high school sweet heart Eric Ramirez. Period. That's it. It's about as exciting as her life ever got really. She had a job, a good job but an unconscious reality was that she was bored. She had her back blown out once every three months, if that, and an overbearing mother who made her life hell. *enter Mitch* Eve 'Mitch' Mitchell. An outgoing, strong minded, independent, raging homosexual, lover to all, charming British soul. They meet by accident after a tough day at the office for Alex. A mistaken identity was all it took for a tiny little kiss. A moment blown all out of proportion for the Christian-bred Miss Thompson and her life turns more miserable than she anticipated for every time she turned around...Mitch was there behind her. Something about Mitch was new and fresh and her soul was just what Alex needed (little did she know). Secrets from the past are brought to the surface. A sad ending to a young lady's life. A realisation that family isn't always blood related. Alcohol isn't a medicine. Violence isn't a key. Hearts were never meant to be broken. Two things to take away: you never know what is going on in someone's head and the most important thing...you never know what happens behind closed doors. A/N just a random story about two people who meet accidentally. Plays with gender norms and very inclusive of LGBTQ (being a member myself). Could be triggering I'm not sure as some identity questions are thrown around. It does include smoking, drinking, some homophobia, profanities, violence and smut. Also anything in brackets with A/N means authors note and that's just me leaving a little comment. Enjoy...Complete
Things Left Unsaid | ✓
❝That's the thing about love. It isn't going to be easy, it isn't going to be smooth, but it's going to be worth it. Because sometimes you have to take the plunge. And you never know if you'll make it out again.❞ Maybe it's the way he looked at her that day in kindergarten or maybe it's the way he was there for her all those years. Whatever it was, somewhere along the way Kaylee fell for Dylan - hard. She soon realizes, however, that feelings can be misinterpreted and fate often doesn't play in her favor. When a rift forms between the two, all hope seems lost and Kaylee is forced to move on. But later, when fate finally decides to twist in her favor, Kaylee is given a second chance to fix their romance. As the two work through resetting their relationship, they soon learn that friendships often don't go as planned, relationships aren't actually that simple, and words are not always easily said. And in the end, everything may just crash and burn. ******************************************* Warning: Read at your own risk! This is my first story on Wattpad (which I wrote when I was 14), so you know what that means - cringe, plot holes, and errors. It's not the most well-written; there are decent chapters and bad chapters. I hope you decide to give this story a chance anyways, though.Complete
