READ THE SEQUEL: HOLD ON FOREVER IT'S UP NOW! ~~~~ Ebony Rose Shields is a fourteen year old girl living in England who doesn't really fit in with the kids at her school, when her dad gets a job that requires the family to move to America, she's nervous and excited, but she has no idea that the Bratayley family will be her next door neighbors. She's never even heard of Bratayley, but little does she know her life is about to change for the better.
"The Boy Next Door" is a FanFiction for Caleb Logan, who passed away recently. It is set one year into the future, (CALEB DOES NOT DIE), and it's about growing out of childhood, getting a girlfriend, having his first kiss, and having new people come into Caleb's life, because sadly we'll never actually get to see him do any of these things.
I HAVE MADE A FEW CHANGES IN THE STORY AND THEY'RE MEANT TO BE THAT WAY, FOR EXAMPLE, IT'S SET IN 2016 SO CALEB IS 14.
(i have written this story during my time of mourning caleb logan's death, and if you're having a hard time with caleb's death, imagine you're ebony, and you get to be neighbors with the Bratayley family. it really made me feel better writing this, it was like an escape from reality. i hope i can help you feel better, it really helped me.)

But I would never intentionaly hurt you like I did. I keep my promises, and I uphold them as much as I can. And I meant every word of my apology Eliza, back then at the rink, and now at your door." "Your apology can't change the past, it can't heal the wounds you made." I reply quietly. "No, but time can. And I am going to do every fucking thing I can to prove to you how much I meant what I said." "It's a waste of time."

Just A Friend
"Do you know how hard it is for me knowing that you're with someone else?" Tyler asked, staring at me intensely. "You think this is easy for me?" I asked, trying to hold back my tears. "I didn't say it was -" he began, but I cut him off. "It's not. I have to go around hating myself. Hating myself for thinking about you. Hating myself for wanting you. I just want to stop feeling this way." I stepped closer to him as my voice shook with every word. "I want to forget about you, but I just--." The rest of my sentence was cut short as Tyler took the final step, closing the gap between us and brought his lips to mine. ~~~~~~~~ Tyler is back from college to find out that the girl who once held his heart has a new boyfriend. They haven't been together for four years now, so why can't he convince himself that he's over her?

Titanic ~ Unsinkable Love
If you couldn't get enough of their story pictured on screen, willing for another possible ending, this might be exactly what you are looking for! A love story which seemed to be perfect though everyone's eyes. He saved her in every way a person can be saved, after all. He gave up his life so she could make it count. Then, would it still remain that perfect if, somehow, they had made it count together? Or, maybe life would hit them like a thousand knives, letting their souls bleed like a wound that would, perhaps, never heal? You will only know the answer if you read this version of Jack and Rose's story. DISCLAIMERS: *I do not own any characters of this story!* This was written by a non native 14 year old English speaker. I apologize in advance for any possible grammar misspellings and poor accuracy. Thank you. 16. feb. 2023 ~ #1 in jackandroseComplete
Green Kestrel and Blue Hawk (My Life With the Walter Boys)
The incoming Kiley/Dylan/Alex love triangle in S3 of My Life With The Walter Boys has got me completely hooked. I went looking for content online and could barely find any, aside from some TikTok edits. So, I figured I would write an on-going fic myself. I was so happy that we got a lot more time with Kiley in S2 as she kept growing on me. I thought it would be interesting to do the fic from her perspective since she's the center of the new love triangle. This story will cover what could possibly have happened after George went to the hospital, and into Kiley and Alex's second semester of junior year and Dylan's last semester at Silver Falls High as a senior. Whether you like Kalex (Kilex in the book!) or Kylan better there will be something for everyone in this, though I think my end game is obvious! There is a bit of Isaac/Grace in this too, and of course our beloved Katherine/George (HE'S ALIVE, OK?!) There will also be some Jackie/Cole where relevant as well as and Erin/Danny (my second favorite MLWTWB ship) and even some Grace/Isaac! PLEASE add comments and suggestions for anything you might like to see and I will possibly use it as inspo! The community aspect of this story is going to be one of the most fun parts for me as I go :) *This world and its characters belong to the Netflix TV show it was inspired by*
Goodbye Forever (Bratayley)
Callie, twin sister to Caleb, faces her brothers death, and she takes it hard. All the memories with him linger in her head but she will never discover any more. She tries to be strong for her little sisters, Annie and Hayley, but with all the burdens she finds it hard. She's put in a hospital and looses hope, while she is falling apart without her other half, Caleb. She then learns to live and appreciate what she has. -=+=- This is a Bratayley fanfiction based upon if Caleb had a twin sister. I will update as frequently as I can! -=+=- By the way, sorry it may be confusing as to why the first chapter is so different compared to the rest of the book. I originally wanted this book to be based on what it would be like for Caleb to have a twin sister in his teenage years but a few months after I wrote the first chapter he passed away so I decided to change it up. Thank you and RIP Caleb! Story completed on May 1st 2016Complete
