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. She grew up with her drug-addict mother who didn't care enough to properly raise her, and she's stuck living alone for a good amount of her teenage years. Once Abigail's mother got put in jail for suspected murder of Abigail's older sister, Julia, Abigail is forced to live with her aunt. Abigail and her aunt get along very well, and she grows up safe and in no harm. Although her life and goals seem set straight and simple to her, her mother and others are always watching, just waiting in Abigail's shadows for the perfect time to strike, and take their next victim in the creepy and deathly darkness of Brett Creek in Colombia Falls, Maine. 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
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![awaken: adopted by tyler and jenna joseph sequel: [✔️]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/84817089-256-k416468.jpg)

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.

A Risky Kind of Business
As an Ap-class, principal lapdog-ing, valedictorian, goodie goodie honors student, you couldn't fathom Mickey Anderson doing something that was even considered the slightest bit troublesome or improper. In other words, she was perfect. “Imperfections were what fractured a perfectly unflawed social status.” She could still hear her mother’s voice ringing in her head as she sat there with her nose turned up and a fake smile plastered on her face because her latest botox treatment wouldn’t let her own any other facial expression. With a family who was obsessed with politics and climbing the ‘social ladder to success,’ Mickey had been expected to be the ‘perfectly well-mannered, election winning daughter’ ever since she could say, “Vote for Anderson.” So after having eighteen years of teenage, rebellious emotions bottled up, Mickey felt like she deserved a break from being ‘Miss Perfect’ twentyfour-seven. And how else better to do that than going on an all-country road trip with her best friend during after Graduation? What would possibly be better than breaking the law and just not giving a fuck?Complete

Stolen Pages
~Her words were my poison. I used them to consume myself. Disturbingly honest. Painfully strained. Carefully penned down. Dangerously addictive.~ A journal that landed in the right hands and told a whole story with words, no lips could speak. Two people bound by the pages of a book that tore their souls apart. He found it lying around and wondered what could go wrong. He didn't recognise the handwriting but he knew he instantly fell in love with it. Then it began. The assault of words on his life. He couldn't believe a word she wrote but somehow he did. He knew more about her than anyone else but he knew so little about who she was... It was maddening. How someone could have such an impact on you without having a single conversation with you. Her precious words tortured his existence, they drowned him in misery, created a black hole of words around him, gave him everything he needed to live. Made him fall in love. Gave him a world of his own. Made him believe in rainbows, unicorns, coffee, the basis of happiness, the meaning of every sunrise, the mystery of every deep ocean, she made him human. He knew he had to find her. He had to find out who she was. He had given him all the clues he needed but none of them were enough to prepare him for who she was. But sometimes... The journey is more important than the destination. Sometimes, the journey is the destination. A book full of stolen pages and a boy full of curiosity. This was how he let her shape his story. __________________ Description inside. Italics = Journal entry. 500 word chapters.
