Carter Monroe never asked to be understood, he just wanted to be noticed. At Eastview High, he was the boy with the cold stare and bruised knuckles, the kind who showed up late, left early, and spoke in riddles no one cared to decode. He wasn't the loudest. He wasn't the kindest. But he was the kind of person you only noticed after it was too late. People say he was angry. People say he was reckless. But no one ever asked why. No one ever heard what he wasn't saying. Then one day, Carter was just... gone. And everything started to unravel. His words linger. His silence echoes. And buried beneath it all is one aching truth "Let me live while I'm alive."

Taken Too Soon
She was here. And then she wasn't. And the world kept spinning like it didn't notice she was gone. They never got to say goodbye. Kimmy's name still lingers in the air like a song no one finishes. Her room is exactly the same-untouched, as if she's coming back. But she's not. Jenna, her mother, smiles for everyone except herself. She folds laundry with tears she hides in the dryer's hum. Daniel, her father, hasn't cried. He just... stares. As if feeling nothing might hurt less than feeling everything. Carter, her twin, is a storm with no calm. He screams at the sky, because she should still be under it. Michael, the boy who loved her, rewrites their last conversation every night. In all of them, she lives. And Macy-Macy can't forgive herself. Because she was there. Because she wasn't enough. This isn't a story about death. It's about what's left behind. The way grief doesn't knock before it enters. The way it unpacks its bags and never really leaves. The way you learn to live with a ghost whose laugh you can't quite remember anymore. Some will find light again. Others won't. But every single one of them will carry the weight of her absence like a second skin. Because when someone is taken too soon, the world doesn't break all at once. It breaks in quiet places. Over and over again.![FRICTION [OLD VERSION] | PRINCETON PEREZ](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/145538722-256-k619185.jpg)

Whispers Between Us
After the accident that killed my father, I stopped speaking. Not because I couldn't-because I didn't know how to live in a world that kept going without him. Four years later, starting college was supposed to be more of the same. Pity. Silence. Survival. Then I met Felix Carter. Loud, infuriating, impossible to ignore-he saw past the quiet and dared me to exist again. He didn't demand my voice. He listened for my whisper. Now, for the first time in years, I want to speak. But finding my voice means facing everything I've buried... and falling for someone who might just shatter what's left of my heart. **Currently being edited!Complete
Indignant Heart
"Born again, are you all dreaming? Wake up! Nicodemus was right! There's no way you can be born again! We're all already here, we were born! Now, we're gonna die! It's as simple as that." My face was hot and my hands were shaking. We're all gonna die... I pushed the memory back and shook my head, eyes angry and staring down the pastor. "Jesus fed his disciples and all the people around him a whole bunch of crap and they ate it." "Naomi!" "He didn't know what he was talking about because fictional characters in a story never do. They say the lines their authors give them because it's their job to. They don't exist. He never existed. You all should realize that sooner or later instead of wasting your time here, it's screwing with your minds." A pin could have dropped from the top floor and we would all hear it. "Then why don't you just leave." The cold words plummeted against my chest as quickly as they came. That was the pin drop, the end to all the excitement, but not. My heart hammered against my rib cage as the voice echoed through my ears, playing over and over. His words, they were insulting, they hurt, but I didn't show it. I turned and faced him and his eyes remained indifferent towards me. I froze in my seat. They were once this bright hazel, but they seemed darker now, furious. "If you feel that way, then leave." He spat. His jaw clicked at the end of his sentence. "Take your opinions, take your anger, take your indignant heart, and leave this church." ~~~ It never occurred to Naomi that He could have been real, that maybe a life of emotional hardship was the plan for her all along. If it had occurred, she never accepted the thought. She never accepted anything, but Carter. What was life? What was love? What was pain? What was happiness? What is God? Read the story of a broken girl who finds the truth through love.Complete

I sneered up at him with distaste, wanting to wrap my fingers around his neck and strangle that smirk off of him. He brushed my golden hair from my face, his long, slender fingers sparking electricity in my skin, making my knees wobble together. "Will you ever, forgive me?" he whispered huskily, his eyes intently staring into mine. His face was only mere inches from me. I just needed to reach out a little further to kiss him... "Yeah. Over my dead body." I snapped, before throwing my arms out forcefully, shoving my hands into his chest, pushing him from me. -*-*-*- He, is Carter Williams. I, am Lacey Adams. We were once, inseparable. The 'Golden Couple'. The unbreakable best friends, that everybody envied. Nothing could get between us. A part from being tighter than white on rice, we updated our status from friends to being in a relationship, frequently. We were neighbours, which meant our families were all close and even co-owned houses around our town. This, all is, until the day of my sixteenth birthday. Everything changed. The loving relationship we shared, was severed and torn apart. I couldn't hardly stand to look at him any more, without spitting fire that is. Every day is torture being around him. He was in all my classes at school and the window in my room was even directly aligned with his. So, what happens? My mother's mum gets sick, so dad and her fly out. Just them. Leaving me to stay with Carter and his parents, who are never home. We would be alone. In one house. Under the same roof. If I was insane before, I have no idea what I am now. Β© 2016 by LaurenJ22.

SHADOWS OF BROTHERHOOD
He wasn't the favorite. He wasn't the golden child. But he was the one who bled. When everything around him begins to crumble-family, love, and the secrets of a buried past-Ryan is forced to face a darkness he thought he'd left behind. What happens when the person they never really understood... becomes the only one who can save them? But saving them comes with a price. And some prices leave scars that even time can't heal. A story of sacrifice, forgotten memories, and a boy who was never supposed to be the hero. The boy they misunderstood. The one who laughed the loudest to hide the silence inside. The one who acted tough because no one noticed when he was gentle. The one who was always "too much"-too angry, too lost, too broken to fix. He was the black sheep. The storm in a house that only wanted sunshine. The one they blamed but never truly understood. They didn't know he cried himself to sleep at night. Didn't know he whispered "I'm sorry" to the shadows of parents he lost too young. Didn't know he carried the ache of abandonment in his bones every day. And when he finally found the truth-when he discovered who murdered them- he didn't hesitate. Not once.Complete

Her Notebook of Goodbyes
Emilio never cared. About school. About people. About anyone. He was popular, cold, and untouchable-his life ran in perfect routine. Until the day he knocked over a girl with smudged eyeshadow and messy hair. A girl everyone bullied. A girl named Mariel. What caught his attention wasn't her face, her tears, or her silence. It was the notebook she carried-the one filled with suicide notes. "Don't die yet," he whispered. Simple. Cold. Almost careless. But that was the start of everything. From that moment, Mariel kept writing, and Emilio kept watching. At first, it was coincidence. Then, it wasn't. She didn't know if he was protecting her or ruining her life even more, but one thing was certain-his presence kept her alive. Every page in her notebook was another goodbye she almost made. Every step he took beside her was another reason to stay. But what happens when she finally writes her last goodbye... and fate decides to steal the only reason she chose to live?
She was here. And then she wasn't. And the world kept spinning like it didn't notice she was gone. They never got to say goodbye. Kimmy's name still lingers in the air like a song no one finishes.
