If Emma could pick anywhere to live, it wouldn't be Blue Hill, Maine. She hasn't been there since she was 10, not since the messy divorce that forced her to move to the other side of the country. Now, after living on the beaches of Los Angeles for seven years, she's finally putting her past behind her. A competitive swimmer beginning her senior year of high school, she's on track for a scholarship to a prestigious college in California- even though her grades aren't exactly up to par. Her father and ex-best friend are the furthest things from her mind- life is good.
But after a tragic accident that leaves her and her younger brother without a mother, she has no choice but to pack up her whole life. Blue Hill is tiny- she can practically kiss her scholarship goodbye. Her father has made it clear that he doesn't want them anymore; he has a new family to worry about. His new four year old daughter is priority to him and Emma's step-mother. Her step-sister has to be perfect at everything, ruining any chance Emma has of making things right with her father- not that it was going to happen anyways. And when she runs into Nick Hutchison, the boy she used to call her best friend, things are about to get even more complicated. Can Emma learn to love Blue Hill again, or will she continue to push everyone away like always?

An Unexpected Moment
... that changes everything Sarah was starting her junior year of high school. Looking at herself in the mirror, she saw a pretty average blonde haired, blue eyed, teenager. She was neither in the popular group, nor one of the many cliched outsiders. Sarah was a nobody. She liked to blend in and lay low. It was her way out of not only this town, but her house. No one knew it, but her father was a high functioning alcoholic that often took his anger out on his family. With her older sister now in college, it had turned to her more often. Laying low in general was a good strategy. Across town, Ryan was prepping for his final year in high school. While he wasn't the stereotypical quarterback of the football team, he did fit into the popular crowd. His sports of choice included basketball and soccer, either of which might line him up for a scholarship next year. Ryan had a group of close friends and a lot of adoring acquaintances. It wasn't easy juggling his athletics and keeping the grades up, but he was just that good. The supporting parents didn't hurt either. It might be a cliché romance, but it will be fun to see what the year and beyond holds. ------------------------------------------ This is a story I wrote years ago, or at least partially wrote. As I transcribe it here, I have tried to update it a bit and give the characters/story more depth than what I had when I was younger. Hopefully it all gets pulled together!Complete
