Iris LeFevre was always a girl with a plan. She'd planned everything in her life at the age of 8. What Iris hadn't planned on was an existential crisis, layers of anxiety and a hole in her heart the size of Devon. So, when Lands End no longer feels like home for Iris, and her plans crumble before her very eyes, she decides to take a job as a waitress in a hotel 874 miles away in John O'Groats, Scotland. Three years down the line and Iris is still there, but when an old friend walks through the doors offers her of an adventure away from the comfort of her new-found recluse, Iris begins to wonder whether she's really done what she set out to do when she left Lands End.

Disconnected [completed] MAJOR EDITING!!!!
A British girl moves to Australia after family problems where she meets her neighbour Michael Clifford. -completed 25th September 2015 ~~~~ So some of this story is written in the wrong context and there's a lot of spelling mistakes so I'm thinking of doing major editing on this story soon.

The Girl Next Door
Iris Donnelly, at the golden age of seventeen, hasn't opened her heart up to anybody. Her philosophy is to get through her last year of high school with straight-A's and her head down. She believes that her heart belongs in her ribcage, not in anybody else's hands. Not only is the pressure of school on her though, but she has severe anxiety after her mother's death. So what happens when she bumps into Pierce Wright, also known as the school's "bad boy"? What happens when she's supposed to be his tutor? What happens when they start to tear down their masks and really get to know all parts of each other - both the good and the bad? And when happens when they become next door neighbors? ✾ DISCLAIMER: While the story has been 100% written by me, this was made to be cliché (strangely enough, it was my attempt to write a good cliché). The pictures weren't taken by me for the face claims! WARNING: This story also contains some heavy topics like anxiety, death, and self-harm. Cursing has been censored with astericks but it does have mature content (nothing sexual though).Complete

Will she be strong enough to leave her past behind and have the future she deserves or will her world go up in flames before she gets a chance to? ------------------------------------- •Tiny spoiler• Slowly turning around I was met with his chest so I lifted my head, when our eyes met I gave him an innocent smile hoping he wouldn't drag me home by my hair. Carter was holding up an umbrella keeping us from getting soaked while he stood in front of me with an emotionless expression. " I saw duckies" I breathed out chewing on my bottom lip. Pulling me closer Carter wrapped his arm around my waist keeping me in place while I placed my hands on his chest taking deep breaths. "The only one allowed to bite your lip is me, sí" he responded lowering his head. Before I could think of anything to say his lips were on mine. He instantly took control of the kiss, exploring my mouth as he pleased. -------------------------------------Complete
