The Cure For Boredom
Jenna Myers starts out with the kind of life most girls would envy-sweet boyfriend, loving family, predictable routines in a quiet Florida town. It's so perfect it's boring. But boredom doesn't last. After her newborn brother dies from SIDS, Jenna's world collapses. Her grief pulls her straight into the orbit of her cousin Tessa-who drags her into cocaine, all-nighters, and eventually court-ordered rehab. Months later, Jenna gets caught and ends up in the same facility, stuck in the same destructive cycle. Rehab doesn't save them. It traps them together long enough to get pregnant. So they run. From Florida to California, the girls survive off prostitution, drugs, strangers, and whatever numbness they can find. They fall in with Parker and his crew, drifting from state to state until Jenna ends up married just to stay alive. But chaos doesn't slow down-Tessa loses her baby, the crew abandons them, and a car accident takes Tessa's life before Jenna can stop it. Then another crash kills Parker and leaves Jenna pregnant and alone, with nothing left but the one place she's been running from: Home. The cure for boredom turned out to be chaos-addictive, dangerous, and nearly deadly. β οΈ Content Warnings: This story contains: drug use & addiction cocaine use teen pregnancy prostitution homelessnes death (including infant loss, car accidents) grief & trauma graphic emotional distress unsafe situations involving minors Reader discretion is strongly advised.Complete
Cynical Souls
COMPLETEDβ Two high school teenagers finding themselves, analyzing this ever changing world, and building love. This is the type of love you wish you found in high school but probably know way too well that it only exists as fiction. Today I'm turning my fiction to reality. β£οΈβ’β’β’β£οΈ Excerpt: Just as I was about to seek shelter under some building's roof, the tires of a car come to a halt, I wonder who might pity the lonely girl walking in the rain. The passenger window rolls down, and I spot the most unexpected person seated behind the wheel. "Get in" comes out his voice, and I must've stood there agape for a few moments because next comes his rhetorical question. "Are you getting in or continuing walking in the rain?" Eyebrows raised expectantly. He sounds annoyed, like he regrets his decision to ever stop and help me. β£οΈβ’β’β’β£οΈ #5 in cynical #2 in loveandfriendship #1 in opinionated #4 in ihatelife #10 in nerdgirl #10 in HighschoolRomance #26 in GoodGirlBadBoy *contains mature themes. *contains cursing.Complete
The Maia and Ross Diaries
If you met Maia you'd think of her as the same as anyone you've ever met. The girl on the magazine, and for a while, just for a while she wanted to believe the same thing. But she was different. The young girl does lose something that makes a life feel much looser, including their status, but there is always a boy, who won't give up. So eventually she has to stand up and take being stuck between guy crazy best friends who become her people, the guy, the dad who moves too fast, the sister who conceals her pain, the past she can't hide and a pen and paper patches up her life very slowly with tape and glue but at the very least ... some people are worth writing for and Maia is not simple. β§ο½₯οΎ: *β§ο½₯οΎ:* . *:ο½₯οΎβ§*:ο½₯οΎβ§ When Maia loses her mother to cancer, she takes on high school life as if nothing ever happened. She lived the best of both worlds. After her mother's death, Maia promised herself she wouldn't be in any boy's pants to recover from her loss. She's isolated now. She's distant. Her mother's death has conflicted her thinking. Maybe she should just smile... it's what everyone chooses to do. But what if the muscles don't work the same as they once had? What if you have to start figuring life out in shades of grey.Complete

Counting Days
[Complete] Nina One day she showed up. The only baggage she carried with her was her father. Everyday, I passed her house on my way to school. She was always outside, sitting on the porch, her hand on her cheek and looking far off into the dirt beneath her. There was something...off about her. About everything in that house. I wish I wasn't so curious. I wish I had not done what I did. And now, I'm paying the price for it. I will never be the same. --- Esther The day she showed up at my house, knocking on my door and introducing herself, I knew my life would change forever. She was completely opposite of me. She was rich, pretty, and popular among many other things. And yet, the more I got to know her, we were similar in many ways. And that is what doomed us in the end. --- A short story filled with new-come friendships, sexuality, crime, drama, and so much more.Complete

As their lives become more intertwined, Maia starts to wonder if complicated is really so awful-when a bombshell from her past drops right back into her life. "And all I had wanted was to see the sunrise."Complete
