New beginnings
Alison- I gave up the second I found out. My parents were dead and I was being dragged across the state to live with people I hadn't seen in years. My so called "godparents", and their daughter, Calen and her little brother I've never met. Sure- Calen and I got along well when we were 12, but we're 17 now. Things have changed. Calen- Alison. I've missed her since the second she moved away. The circumstances are tragic, but I can't help but feel selfishly sheepish that she's here under my roof now. All I want is to cheer her up, to see that pretty little smile again. My beautiful girl. I will spend every second of every day convincing her of how perfect and worthy she is of love.Complete
Delicate Disaster
They started as classmates, then friends, then something that didn't quite fit any word. The problem? Neither of them were ready to call it love. They never meant to fall for each other. It just happened quietly, in glances that lingered too long and silences that said too much. What started as teasing and shared notes turned into something heavier, something neither of them dared to name. Elena swears she's fine keeping it undefined, even when her heart stumbles every time his eyes find hers. And Noah he hides behind jokes, behind that easy confidence, pretending he doesn't care when he clearly does. It's the kind of almost love that burns slow, the kind that ruins you softly. Between laughter and denial, comfort and confusion, they walk the line between friendship and something more, too scared to cross it, too scared to let go. __ Friends to something less than lovers, more than bestfriends.

I can't eat. I can't sleep. And I know you know what that's like."~ Liliana is now an orphan. Just 17 years old, she lost her parents in a boating accident and now she must live with her best friend, her best friend's parents and her best friend's brother, Joseph.
