Avari (Uh-VAR-ree) Shephard and Calix (KAY-licks) Lawson are two Apostolic Pentecostal young people living in Indiana. They meet at a state youth rally and everything changes from there.
Avari is 17, and is the daughter of Austin and Rachelle Shephard, the pastors of Firm Foundation church. She has an older sister, Jennifer, and a younger brother, Caleb. They are close in relationship, and are heavily involved in their church. They are excited to receive a new Assistant Pastor and his family into their church. Avari has never met the family, so she is interested to see what they'll be like.
Calix is 17 1/2, and his life has changed tremendously in the past few years. His mother, now Kary Smith, left his father for another man. His dad, George Lawson, has recently remarried. His new stepmom, Avery Lawson, is a good, Godly woman with a calling to ministry on her life. As a family unit they take on a new leadership role in a church they've never been to. His parents have met the pastor and his wife, but they haven't told him anything about them.
As these two teens get closer, crazy things happen. Falling in love is not easy, especially not at this age. As everything gets complicated, can they pull through, or will it be the end for them?

She slowly turned to face the two with a raised brow, "Meaning?" "Think about it," urged Cole, "How do you think everyone would react if they found out what you do during your spare time, especially your sister." She narrowed her eyes ."Are you blackmailing me?" she asked crossing her arms and raising her chin. "No, I never said that." Cole held up his hands yet grinning mischievously. "We're just saying that it would be in your best interest, along with ours if you joined us." shrugged Lucas. "You can't prove anything," she bluffed.

STONE'S DIARY
9 years after the wedding, things weren't so bad for the Stone family, but it also wasn't peaches and rainbows either.

With her twin, Kaari constantly by her side and always wanting to be the Pam to her Gina, Reign was wondering how life would be outside of her best friend. Their birthday was slowly approaching which meant a lot of changes for the two but mostly Reign. She wanted to find herself outside of her twin but that would be hard to do especially with the way their father and uncles raised them. Ava Amari Stone; 12 going on 13 and the most talented little firecracker ever. Dance, art, fashion, makeup, and cooking were just some of her hidden gems, but she had a thing for building any and everything from scratch; a habit she's developed from her father. She wasn't your ordinary teenager, she enjoyed animé, crime shows, mystery movies, and even corny romantic comedies but her specialty was Kairo. Her right-hand man, her best friend, and second set of ears. They were like two peas in a pod but reminded Renae so much of her and Dajon. With growth comes trials and with trials comes blessings, not everyone is meant to tag along when you make it. Sometimes you outgrow or have to let them go, but through the younger Stones eyes, take a look at just how different things were back when their parents were in the game to now... ©️ _jasthewriter 2020Complete
The Bad boy's Prayer

If she thought I was going to stay after that little performance of her , she had another thing coming. "Logan please! Don't do this . I promised your mom I would help you . Even if it means I have to sit through your insults " she said , yanking me back by my backpack. I was beyond peeved at her right now. "Who do you think you ARE little 'I'm a church girl ' !? Who gives you the RIGHT TO JUST YANK ON ME ! INCASE I HAVEN'T MADE IT CLEAR YET ; LET ME MAKE IT CLEARER. " I looked her straight in the face and jabbed my finger " DONT. YOU . DARE. TOUCH. ME. AGAIN! " As I pulled back her eyes started to gloss over , making her stumble backwards and hit the wall behind her. Pathetic. **** Logan Delgada was your typical , stereotypical super popular , rich jocks that thinks the world revolved around him. The type of guy that walks around with the attitude that 'the party doesn't start until he gets there ' . Like he's a gift to the world. Amaya Parker is a preacher's daughter. The youth leader at their church. She hides away in big crowds and does everything in her will power to keep everyone around her happy. He's rude. She's thoughtful. He swears .
