The girl from New York
Completed✔️ Disclaimer: I wrote this when I was 15 so it is a bit cliché, and many mistakes in the story:) All Brooklyn's life, she's been more of a boy than a girl. She's only ever lived with her single dad and her three older brothers, which means she was bound to grow up more like them. So, when she moved all the way from New York to Tennessee, it wasn't much of a surprise until she met Alex, the one of many popular boys at the high school. Until she realized that Alex decided to make her life a living hell. Well, that's what Brooklyn thought, at least... ___ "He leaned in and put a hand behind my head to kiss me, leaving me frozen and speechless. Almost instinctively, after a moment of processing, I stood on my tippy toes and replaced my fingers in his hair, my other hand on his neck. Butterflies exploded in my stomach, replacing my hunger for food, as he pressed me against a vacant wall. Without a word, he lifted me up while my legs wrapped around his waist, leaning in closer to him, even after there was no more space to fill."

She soon finds herself running away from the terrible memories left behind in Borne to attempt an escape once in for all. Whether that be to Chicago or elsewhere, Zooey isn't sure, but she knows no matter where it is, it may be best to take her painful past with her and continue to keep it a secret from those it impacts the most. But with several relationships from home begging Zooey for closure from her first disappearing act, it may not be so easy for her to go quietly like she had planned. Lila seems to have made peace with Zooey now knowing about her romantic relationship she has with Hunter, but with Zooey no longer in town, Lila faces the choice of what to do about her mother's offer to move to New York. For the first time, Lila is overwhelmed with possibilities and chances for a better life for her and Dylan, but the fear of losing Hunter in the process looms over her head. And as the rumor mill in town grows stronger, Lila is reminded that there are relationships in Borne that are owed some truth and closure five years overdo. If she's ever going to truly move forward, she, too, must let go of Michael and the trauma of the past.

Good Things I'll Never Do Again
***THIS STORY WILL BECOME FREE ON JULY15th!*** Beverly Curie only lives for herself (and maybe ice cream). When her three nieces are suddenly put under her care, she must do the impossible: think about someone other than herself. Beverly is the only member of her family left in Chestnut Ridge, where she's kept the same routine for eight years: do as little work as possible during the day, marathon sitcoms in the evening, and try (for the life of her) to get everyone to leave her alone. When she loses her position at Red Ribbon's Craft Store, Beverly is left without a job and without a paycheck. Then her estranged sister, Aimee, calls with an impossible favor: Could Beverly take care of her three nieces for six months? It's insane. But then there's the thirty thousand dollars that Aimee offers to pay and Beverly can't resist. Suddenly, she's stuck taking care of three little girls, trying not to kill the soccer moms at the snobby Percival Academy, and joining the PTO. Now Beverly--self-serving, sarcastic, and problematic--must take on the role of a loving parent. And she is anything but.
