Times Change [UNDERGOING EDITS]
[CURRENTLY BEING EDITED. I just finished chapter 6, so after that Winnie becomes Allison and instead of being Soda's twin she's like 11 months younger than him. The writing style will also be a little different] Fantastic. First I failed to mediate a family argument, now my baby brother and best friend are on the run for murder. This night cannot get any worse. And through everything that's been going on, the only person who can calm my anxiety is the last person I would expect to. And I can't help but wonder if one day they'll abandon me too. But let me introduce myself first. Most know me merely as Winnie Curtis. Only those closest to me get to call me "Sissy," and only one person is allowed to call me "Doll" without getting their teeth knocked in. Lots of people probably only know me as "that greaser girl." But ask any Soc and they'll tell you that i'm that greaser girl who will beat the tar out of anyone who dares hurt her brothers. I know y'all have probably heard our story before. But, I don't think you've heard all of it. So i'm here to tell you what really went down in Tulsa.Complete![Nothing Gold Can Stay [1]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/89328869-256-k888210.jpg)

My Password is Anxious$Princess
Rules for surviving Los Angeles: don't trust influencers, don't crash out in public, don't fall for bad boys. Gabi has never been good at rules. She works at a chaotic talent agency, juggling diva influencers, fake spiritual awakenings, and public meltdowns. Meanwhile, she's quietly unraveling, spiraling through anxiety, perfectionism, and a brain that won't shut up. Her password says it all: Anxious$Princess. The dollar sign is for ambition. The anxiety? That's constant. She's the kind of girl who'll spend six hours photoshopping the bushes in the background of a TikTok and still not post it. Then Oakley Carter, her childhood best friend, secret crush, and internet golden boy, decides to "prove a point" by putting a $50,000 kiss bounty on her head. Now every clout-chasing influencer in L.A. is hunting her down. All she has to do is go on one date and kiss someone. Fifty thousand dollars. Easy money. Except when you work in social media, things have a way of getting out of hand. And Gabi is starting to realize there are some things you can't optimize, overthink, or Photoshop your way out of.
Alone in the DR
He left me again. This time alone in the DR. The only thing I could think to do was head home. So I went home where opportunity arose to bring Dom back to me and I seized it with both hands. I made my choice freely to get tangled up in Braga's cartel because nobody, and I mean nobody, makes Leticia Ortiz do anything she doesn't want to do. SPOILER ALERT contains scenes from Fast and Furious 7 which are relevant to Dom and Letty's time together so I advise if you are a massive fan of the franchise and haven't seen Furious 7 yet do not read! This contains spoilers. **A/N I don't own anything from fast and furious, all characters belong to the franchise. After writing this I'm beginning to wish I'd come up with the idea for fast and furious but what can you do? Anyways characters may be slightly different to suit the direction and pace of the story. The story takes place before Fast and Furious, the fourth movie. I hope I've done the wonderful characters of the franchise justice.**Complete
