New Girl, Old Story
Zoe Hales is basically your average teenage girl, the main difference is that she doesn't have a social life, and she has the most annoying, dirtiest, yet coolest older brother. She has recently moved cities, due to her moms job, and has to start in a new high school, which is pretty scary. Prostitute-vampires, hot Greek-god jocks, and some way cool nerds are part of the cast in this crazy story. She is also classified as a nerd since she takes AP classes, but her cup size might make up for that. This story might be a cliche, but I can promise it'll be a good one... Or not at all. This story is marked as completed, however I just put it that way bc i'm not deleting it but i'm also not completing it. Ever. So yeah, if u choose to proceed from this point, go at ur own risk!Complete

Golden Boy
This is a rewritten version of Golden Boy! It's completely new except for the names of the characters. Everyone has that one thing that they fear the most, that if they ever had to go through it, it would traumatize them. For Elliot, it was having someone break into her house. She's been scared of that ever since watching Michael Myers stalk his niece from outside her window in Halloween, a movie that she shouldn't have watched when she was 8 years old. Elliot faces her worst nightmare when a strange person with unexplainable abilities finds himself in her room, uninvited on Halloween night. She wakes up the next morning with no memory of it. Elliot's senior year was supposed to be above average, in the sense that it would actually be fun compared to the first three years of high school. It was the last year she was going to spend in her hometown Ardsley, New York, before moving across the country to LA for college. She was going to spend it going to parties with her best friend Camilla, eating fro-yo every day, and prepping for prom and graduation. Elliot would never have guessed how a certain Golden Boy would have a hand in ruining her senior year. Now she was stuck uncovering the truth as she's dragged into a whole new world she never asked to be a part of, with a boy she's never asked to become friends with, and possibly gain a new outlook of life that might just keep her in New York for longer than she would have liked.Complete

Trapped In My Amnesia
"Sweetheart wake up. You're at the hospital." I looked up and saw the same woman hovering over me. "Oh...okay." I opened my eyes fully and noticed that I was already in the hospital bed. Why on earth did she have to wake me? "So why am I here?" I asked confused. "Well," she said pulling a short and skinny woman into the room. "This very sweet lady saw you on the side of the road and called 9-1-1." I looked up at her and she threw me an evil look. In a way, she seemed strongly familiar. I looked away slowly diving my eyes back into the direction of the nurse. "Before we leave you, I just wanted to let you know that my name is Julia. You can call me whatever works best for you. Julia, Nurse, Nurse Julia. Whatever. I'll be right back with your papers." Sixteen-year-old Abigail Moore, also referred to as Ginger by her boyfriend Cameron Wood, has lived a terrible sixteen years.

Abigail and her aunt get along very well, and she grows up safe and in no harm.

Abigail's developed amnesia from her horrible past makes it hard for her to live, but the people she fears most in life, make it easier to find the pieces that are missing to complete the puzzle. ******************************************* Also, please vote this for the 2018 Watty's!! ;)Complete
FORGET ME NOT
Genevieve Anderson, the girl that had been left behind and forgotten. In a town where everybody knows everybody, meaning that no one goes unnoticed. Nobody just grabs a bag and leaves in the middle of the night, without someone seeing something. Nobody changes identity over night, and is suddenly left with the care of their father in her hands. Forgotten over night, Genevieve changes the person that everyone thought they knew. Gone was the girl that would smile and wave to everyone, was replaced by a girl that had a need for stealing and getting by every day. She had been left with the responsibility of an old ranch that was no longer in operation and the care of her father, who had been to war, and was suffering from additions like there was no tomorrow. Gone was the girl that depended on her big brothers to open the gate, replaced with a girl that worked long hours at the ranch, before she was sneaking out after midnight, to drive whatever cars her brothers had left behind. Except, one day, something happens and everything takes a turn for the worse. "I left you here, for 20 minuets, and you have already let him relapse?! I trusted you, for a second, and you backstabbed me?! I can't believe any of you anymore, because you are made of lies!" Holding on by a string, Genevieve isn't sure how much more she can take, especially when people appear from the past she thought she left behind, when she was 5 years old. Time moves on for a reason, doesn't it? "I told you to forget about it. It's in the past, and nobody has ever asked me to do what you are asking me to do. You are asking me to put away my boots and hat, and stand in front of people in heels and a puffy dress. That's not who I am, if you had stuck around to find out who I really am.

20 Questions
She had amazing parents, good role models, a normal, happy childhood, and dreams of saving the world...until an ugly twist of fate changed everything. She wasn't meant to lose her best friend to addiction. Holidays with the family were supposed to be magical, not obligatory. Every song, every building, every street had a memory attached to it...memories that weren't supposed to sever her heart. This wasn't the life she envisioned growing up. In desperate need of rest, relaxation and self-discovery, Jenna loaded a plane, destined for Aspen. She was going to salvage the girl she lost along the way. She'd find that fire inside of her that had been extinguished by heartache. Hunter had lived a hard life - abused, neglected, discarded and hardened. There were no bedtime stories growing up with loving parents, no family vacations, nothing to be excited about and nothing to live for. With his revenge-seeking father's upcoming prison release hanging above his head, Hunter knew his days were limited and he had accepted it. He wasn't looking ahead, not for happiness or love anyway. Until he saw her. Fate had brought them together. Passion consumed them. She brought the sass and he brought the danger. He began to see a life with her that he didn't believe he deserved. She found her purpose - heal him, love him, give him the gift of family and unconditional love. They went to Aspen in search of peace and an escape from the hometown heartache...but they found love along the way. 20 Questions is a story of unbreakable love, redemption, and overcoming tragedy. It's about blocking out the corruption in the world so you can see the virtuous. It's a heartwarming, laugh-out-loud tale of how love can keep us together when the world is viciously trying to pull us part. Love wins. It always wins.Complete
