It's been a year since they've met, and Hazel is simply depressed. After Social Services are involved with her family, she feels like she doesn't belong anywhere, or to anyone. Except in Illinois. With the Dickens. But that dream almost seems out of reach. She's struggling to find a purpose any more. Even with all the perks, the situation she faces seems too hard to deal with. As she considers many options, she slowly loses her fire. She stops trying. Gilbert is back in her life, and she is struggling even more.

"This can't be true." Maybe I am going insane now, maybe I'm thinking about him so hard that apart from dreams I now see him in strangers. I blinked hoping when I'll open my eyes I'll find another face there. "It's really him" I gulped. My throat went dry and suddenly everyone around him seemed blurred and the only thing I could focus on was his steps growing towards me. High school love is supposed to be forgotten, but Hazel Cooper had different plans, and so did her destiny. Hazel Parker lived a cliché love story in high school, and even though five years had passed, she found herself still in love with Edward. She was prepared to accept that a part of her would always love him, and no matter how much she longed for him, she knew she would never have him again. What she wasn't prepared for was Edward coming back into her life. A series of shocks, hesitation, lies, revelations, and passion unfolds as destiny crosses their paths once more, reigniting the long-lost flame of love between these two former lovers.Complete
No really, I'm okay. I'm also a great liar.
Annabelle Lee-Davis. Hazel's never met her, or even seen her, but she's in love. Annabelle runs a blog called No really, I'm okay. I'm also a great liar. It's all black and white - photos, art, writing. It's also the top reason Hazel is happy at the moment, other than her two best friends at college. Hazel was told that she'd never meet Annabelle. And deep down, she knows it to be true. So sleep is precious until maybe one day the distant, serendipitous dream might come into her real life. But if it doesn't, she'll be fine.

Altered
Have you ever met someone who alters the course of your life? For good or for bad, they've come in, given and taken, and then- BOOM! Your life was never the same. There's always a change, an altering of reality. When you meet those people, the reality that you've known your whole life is suddenly gone and a new one has taken its place. When those moments happen, there's no going back. You can try to return to the way things were but nothing, and I mean nothing, can take you back to exactly how it was. That's what happened to us. I think that's why we're still trying so desperately to get back to some sort of normalcy. Four years later and we're still on the ground, crawling, in search of the happiness that was lost that June. Summers will never be the same. Midnight walks through my neighborhood will never be the same. Field parties with bonfires and loud music will never be the same. I still don't know why you left and what lead you to the decision you made. What I do know is that we're here. We're alive and we're pushing forward to the future. A future that you're not a part of. But in some ways, I'm glad you're not a part of it. I just wish it wasn't like this. *** TRIGGER WARNING*** SA, abuse, suicide, substance abuse, and mental illness. This is a complete story that is much like life; fast, full of surprises, and not always how we want it to be. This has been a project of mine for over three years. It was self-published on Amazon, but after some issues in publication, I decided to just upload it on here. I hope you fall in love with these characters like I have. The friends in this story are trying to make names for themselves, figure out who they are, who they can trust, how to love, and how to separate themselves from a restrictive community. As in any coming of age story, they will experience growing pains... but will they survive them before its too late? PLEASE READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS.Complete
Diamond Heart 💎
------- He loved the girl that can't love him.....And now he can't love the girl that loves him -------- ** "Don't worry.." I say, getting up off the chair and walking around him on my way out, my scarf running through his fingers lightly until it slips out. He tilts his head back over the back of his chair in a lazy laid back way, his thumb and fingers now holding his chin, as he watches me leave, still with a small smile on his face. "I won't break your heart." I turn around and say lightly, jokingly, just to tease him. His smile fades. "You won't...because you can't break what's already broken." He says more seriously. ******* Once bitten, twice shy Such is the case for Aaron Bishop, who after a failed marriage, decides that love and all things related, is not worth the trouble.

Water From Mud
Does anger cause damage? If Georgia Ellenburg still believed in coincidences, she'd disagree. But George knows better. People get hurt around her, and now that her sister doesn't want to go to a college--a dream George gave up so that it could belong to Maeve--George is forced to stare down her past, and, in the meantime, protect her budding relationship with Sam, who she knows her anger will harm if given the chance. Since having assumed guardianship over her sister, George has one goal: to keep Maeve safe, and, at twenty-four, she's done so by creating a life with minimal unpredictability. In her efforts, George has given up nearly everything so that her sister can have the life that was supposed to belong to George. Maeve, however, expresses other ideas, ideas that don't involve college or anything that George gave up for her sister, which pits George against the choices she's made and the anger she's buried because of them. George has a secret, a secret that can no longer be considered a coincidence, and when Sam enters her life and begins to chip away at the pain she thought she'd let go, she must face the ultimate test of unpredictability: either confront her past or risk hurting Sam. Because her anger always hurts those around her. xxx tags: slow burn, romance, family drama, feminism, traumaComplete
