"I hate you."
"Maybe, but I bet if I kissed you right now you'd kiss me back."
"I guess you'll have to do it to find out." 

People like Adrienne Bishop don't get happy endings.  They just aren't supposed to. Girls with ink stained finger tips and tear stained cheeks don't get to be angels. After her best friend dies, Adrienne finds herself stuck in the constant lull of darkness. That is until she meets Shane.

Shane Alpine is the embodiment of light. The kind of person life is supposed to give happy endings to. Sunshine in the purest form. But if there's one thing Shane's learned about life, it's that it doesn't care about the people in it.

When the two meet each other under odd circumstances, unwanted feelings arise. Adrienne and Shane learn that not everything on the outside is its truest form. Life can be cruel. Sometimes you just need someone that makes it more bearable.

Well, apart from the fact that she has severe eczema, a skin condition that makes her feel inhuman at times. The extent of her condition never hit her till high school. It changed her outlook on many things, herself being one - quite possibly the biggest one. She feels ridiculed by her fellow classmates, or a few in particular. No one really knows her, except for Phoebe, her one and only friend. Phoebe's the perfect student, excellent grades, attendance and appearance. But when she's unexpectedly off, Celine makes the abrupt decision to bunk off the afternoon. Her struggles with other students get to her and without Phoebe at her side, her mind takes a dark turn. Her troubles seem to fade away the further away she gets from them, no more snickering. Only, Celine just get off lightly, finding herself trapped with a stranger in the street. His presence makes her uncomfortable and with no one to help her battles, she's left to bypass him alone. If only it were that easy. Dagher introduces himself and Celine gets a bad feeling the second she sees him, only backed up by his voice. The darkness that surrounds him is frightening and everything you should avoid. Dagher then starts appearing time after time and the darkness becomes consuming. Celine can't fight it, but can she find an ally in the most unexpected person?

Book One of the Love You Series - Standalone. Sometimes the heart wants what logic swears is off-limits. Kyle Carter. By definition? My brother's best friend. To everyone else? Confident. Charismatic. The human version of sunshine. He walks into a room and people gravitate toward him-like he knows exactly who he is and where he's going. But behind the easy smiles and effortless charm is someone quieter, softer... someone who wants to be seen. Really seen. By one person alone. When you're part of the same friend group, running into each other is inevitable. Daily, even. Bickering became our version of talking, teasing became our shared language. But it's dangerous-the kind of dangerous where you start noticing just how beautiful someone is, and wondering how it's even fair to exist next to them. And feelings? They show up like a tidal wave I can't stop, no matter how many times I tell myself not to fall. Because Kyle Carter is off-limits. And I should know better. Ivy Kingston. Definition? My best friend's sister. The one girl who knows exactly how to push my buttons-and enjoys doing it. She's bold, reckless, and says things that get under my skin and stay there. She's trouble in the form of witty comebacks and the most intoxicating smile I've ever seen. She's not the little girl I used to tease anymore. She's... something else entirely. And it scares the hell out of me how much I want her. Feelings weren't supposed to be part of the equation-but here they are, crashing through every line I've drawn. And no matter how much I try to stay away, she pulls me in like gravity. They say if it's meant to be, it'll find a way. But there's always a but, isn't there? The truth is, I don't know if I'll ever get my happy ending. Hell, she is my happy ending. And I need her. More than anything.

[Featured by wattpad romance, teen fiction, young adult and psychologicalnovel] Joy Jones was a seventeen-year-old kind and optimistic girl working in her grandpa's flower shop, but she had a secret. She was suffering from acute lymphoblastic leukaemia and wanted nothing, but to die peacefully. That was until Logan Kellerman, a young man with suicidal tendencies came storming into her life and stole roses from her grandpa's flower shop. Instead of running away with what he came for, he found himself falling deeper and deeper into her as she made his heart skip in delight, for she was, in her own words, a little bit of Joy. * * * from some of my readers of this book, thanks❤- ❝I LOVE YOUR STORY OKAY.
