"Jamie, how long is it going to take until you let yourself be happy?" 

Jamie shifts away from Tristan's gaze, knowing that if he looked at him, the tears in his eyes would escape. They both sit in silence, allowing the other one to think.  

~

"How can I be able to love someone else, when I can barely love myself?" 

~ 

"-Jamie, what are you going to do, when the waters get rough?"


{Or} 

Orphan, abused, scarred, lonely, abandoned. 

These are words that would describe Jamie Hunters. 

All anyone knows is that he's a sophomore, and that he's the school's punching bag; but there is so much more. 

Jamie is an orphan. His parents both died, leaving him with guilt. Mainly, being that he killed his father by accident in a boating trip. After that experience, he could never look at pools or oceans the same. Although Jamie has had a tough life, there will always be someone that can help him through his darkest of days. 

Tristan Woods.

He's been Jamie's best friend since they were in kindergarten, and Jamie sees him as his brother that he never had. Tristan, having mutual feelings, just wants his life long friend to be happy. So, once he hears about this 'new girl' coming to their school, he's all in to help Jamie. 

Jamie, however, believes that he doesn't need a girl to be happy. 

Tristan, of course, doesn't listen and does his best to help Jamie out through everything. 

But what started as a fun little 'game' to help cheer Jamie up, turns into something way more. 

Will this new girl actually help Jamie with his happiness? Can she be the one that can put Jamie's broken parts back together? Or will she just go along with her life, leaving him to his.

Chasing the Boy by adeterding
22 parts Complete
When Jaime - newly high-school-liberated girl- meets Gregg - beautiful college boy - she couldn't be more smitten. He is a dream come true and something about their meeting has the feel of fate. They talk about traveling the world, future ambitions and the importance of family, among other philosophical issues. Jaime thinks she has met her soulmate and can just hear the chords of Pachelbel's Canon ringing in her head. She is beginning to fantasize about their future wedding and what they will name their children when he tells her he is going to Greece for the entire summer. Even worse - he is leaving the very next morning. Jaime finds herself in a romantic funk. After meeting Mr. Right, no boy stands a chance. All around her, summer romance blossoms and it makes her want to puke. When she discovers an acquaintance has a crush on her - a young man who would've been quite cute if it weren't for the unfortunate uni-brow parked on his forehead - she gives into the pressure of her best friend and embarks on an awkward romance, which has an even more awkward ending. Jaime decides she is going to wait for Gregg to get home from Greece, and she's going to make him fall in love with her. She heads into battle armed with her the support of her friends and tons of research on how to make a man fall in love. As time passes and she gets to know him, she realizes that Gregg is less like Mr. Sensitivity and more like Casanova, with his belt of many notches. Dealing with disillusionment is not the best time for another guy to enter the picture, but he does anyway. Joey, her younger brother's red-headed, glasses-wearing best friend, seems like a major pain in the backside - especially when he dethrones Jaime from her reign as Queen of Clue. Underneath his flippant attitude is a charm and wit that eventually convinces Jaime that sometimes, real love comes in the most surprising packages.
It Wasn't Love ✔️ by depressedbrit
57 parts Complete Mature
"Fuck." He whispers into my neck, sending a thrill of excitement through my body. His lips still smothered kisses over my neck and his hands roamed my body, starting at my chest, going down to my stomach. Caressing my soft skin, his thumb trailed circles on my groin before slightly slipping into the waistband of my jeans. My breath catches in my throat as I pull at the hoodie that covered his chiselled body. Understanding, Jacob pulls it off in one swift movement before attaching his lips back on my neck. Sucking and biting it before flicking his tongue over the sore spot. A quiet moan leaves my mouth and I clasp my hand over it, denying any noise to escape. "You drive me fucking crazy, Aria." ---------------------------- Aria Bailey finds it hard to fit in. Her parents are always busy and never have time for her. She lives alone at her family home and has top grades in all of her classes. But being a 17 year old friendless nerd comes with its disadvantages. The bullying gets worse every single day, driving her to self harm and suicidal thoughts. Aria learns more about popular boy, Jacob Rickson and starts developing feelings for the well known 18 year old. Jacob helps her come out of her shell and learn to be more comfortable and confident. Aria has to make a tough decision by choosing if she would rather be with Jacob and be bullied by her mind for eternity, or to leave and be left alone, exactly how she wants to be. -Strangers to lovers -Right person, wrong time

"What are these feelings you're talking about?!" he questions still yelling. "That I fucking like you, Daniella Jamie Grey!" I yell. "And I fucking like you too, Arabella May Jhonson!" he yells back. And the next thing I know is that we're no longer yelling. I hadn't even noticed that we went closer and closer to each other until I felt his breath on my lips and his nose nuzzling against mine as he bent to my level, his body towering over mine. I pull him to me and smash my lips onto his and it barely took a second for him to respond to it. ~~~~~ Arabella Jhonson and Daniel Grey unite. How they met each other, you may ask? They met each other because Arabella's cousin and Daniel's father are dating. There's definitely a spark when they met and the spark began to grow as they hung out with each other day by day, especially since they'll be living under the same roof for a little more than three weeks. Oh and not to mention that Daniel lives in Australia, away from Arabella, and he's only come to visit. But that's when the impossibilities come in to play. For one, aren't they technically going to be related if her cousin and Daniel's dad get married? And not only for that reason, but many other reasons that will be revealed as the story progresses. This'll be a story about two teens who go through struggles and a romance between them that seems more than likely to be impossible. Not only do other people get in the way of this romance, but their minds as well. Their minds that remind them why they can't work. And their minds that have their own fears. But can their romance find a way through it all? Or will it all just fall apart? Warning: Contains strong language

"I walked over to where Aaron was sitting on the ground, kneeling so that I was face-to-face with him. He was wearing a blank expression on his face so I guess he didn't really care if I kissed him or not. I took in a deep breath before taking his face in both of my hands and swooping down to kiss him. At first, I was so nervous I didn't realize that we were already kissing but after a few moments, I realized how soft his lips felt on my own. Before I can register it I felt him moving against me. I would have gotten off of him but I realize that he wasn't moving to get away from me. No, He was moving his lips against mine." °°°°° Aiden Moore isn't extraordinary. He has average looks, he is OK with sports, and his only strong point is that he is smart (although that doesn't mean much to his fellow classmates). And, of course, his virgin ass has never had a girlfriend, let alone a crush. It seemed as if he would never find someone. That was until he met her, Scarlett Hale. She was the most beautiful girl you will ever meet. Kind, sweet, and one of the few people with a higher GPA then him, she was amazing and Aiden imagined that she would be all his. Once Aiden gets rid of her boyfriend, Aaron Tyler. The most annoying guy you will ever meet, Aiden gags just thinking about him. The man is smoking hot and makes Aiden's dreams of getting the girl to seem very impossible. So what would happen if Aiden gets involved with the wrong person? Will Aiden get the girl? Will he fall short? Or will he fall into the arms of a guy who is in love with the girl he loves? _______________________________________ WARNING: First book EVER!
