Freedom is what separates the heart from exploring who we ought to be. We never know who we truly are unless we go out in the world and explore the beautiful resorts and the peaceful tranquility of the forests.
If you're like Ellie you live in an empty town, that is filled with bland surroundings. You feel as if you are drowning. Drowning in other people's words, people's misconstrued judgment, and the inferior mental eclipse. As a result, she goes on an emotionally charged journey. Whereas, she clouds her judgment in the lovely and bitter taste of alcohol.
Cover made by @come-easy :)
When one strange hospital night turns into a welcome party, she is forced to rediscover the hope that once ran through her veins. She is forced to meet face to face with a boy she never gave a second glance. However, he doesn't breathe the same gust of air he did before he left everything behind. He's different from the person he was before, but Ellie doesn't forget easily.
Come on the most breathtaking, and shocking story that is Ellie Smith.

The Lonely Stars
Ellie has always isolated herself from love. Very few people ever heard those three words uttered from her mouth. She isn't cold, in fact, Ellie is known to be friendly and social. Yet, when Reid Foster moves to town, he seems determined to know each one of Ellie's secrets. Will Ellie let go of her fears and give in to love or will she forever be apart of the lonely stars. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Why are you avoiding me?" Reid asks. His voice cuts through the quiet like a stone thrown into still water. "I'm not avoiding you. I've just been busy this week," I reply quickly, hugging my arms around myself as I turn toward the gravel path. Before I can get far, his hand shoots out, and he steps in front of me. The crunch of his shoes on the stones makes me freeze. "That's bullshit, Ellie. And we both know it." His words hang heavy in the cool night air. I keep my gaze fixed on the dark line of trees behind him, anywhere but his eyes. But then he leans in, and I catch the warm cedar scent of his jacket. My throat tightens. "You're scared," he says, softer now, but closer. "You think that one day I'll just up and leave...like your mom." The mention of her is a knife I wasn't ready for. My breath stutters. "I've tried to show you how much I care," he continues, eyes locked on mine. "But all you ever do is pull away. Do you know how much that hurts?" The cicadas drone on, indifferent to my silence. My legs want to move, to bolt into the darkness, but I can't. His words root me to the spot.Complete

Just Meant To Be | Completed
It wasn't a love story, at least not for me. With events that began and ended with me and Alejandro. We rushed into things that was too intense for a couple of kids. We didn't know what being in a relationship really meant. In a perfect fairytale, the princess would get the prince but my life isn't a fairytale. I'll be taking you through a year in my llife. That if I was being honest, that couldn't be forgotten. I wouldn't forget the good and the bad moments and there were bad ones. It thought me something useful... This is a story of two naive teenagers that find out that it's not as easy being together then it is like in the movies. They find this out with realistic life lessons. That Athena and Alejandro would remember for the rest of their lives. Cover: The cover in made by me. The balloon and the fonts don't belong to me but the background picture does.Complete
