Currently on hold because of writer's block and family issues, but I did work on this quite a bit in April for Camp NaNoWriMo. I'll be back soon, I promise!! xo Ella
When sixteen-year-old Magnolia Spencer accidentally crashes into a snowbank during a sudden New England blizzard, she is forced to take refuge in the home of Devin McKinley, a boy in her grade, for a weekend while the storm blows over. Devin McKinley, her former best friend, and the boy she's been in love with before she truly understood the meaning of 'I love you.'
Devin McKinley is a baseball player with an ex-girlfriend who won't leave him alone. A year below him, Tess Reynolds doesn't understand the words 'it's over.' And when his old best friend Magnolia crash-lands herself into his life, he thinks he finally has the opportunity to get rid of Tess once and for all. But what happens when he actually starts to fall for Magnolia?
A contemporary WIP about the surprises of love.
DISCLAIMER: I, Ella Brody, author of this story, have only once been in a relationship before- the one I am in currently. I've only had one experience with a boy, so I don't have a lot of knowledge on the subject. Please bear with me!

The Will To
Will is a slut. At least, according to everyone else she is. With a past that both defines her and won't let her go, Will has had enough of the name-calling and assumptions. She's decided to use it all as fuel to get what she wants: to take down Reid Reynolds. Reid is a "bad boy" (a term that makes Will's eyes cross into oblivion) and he represents everything that Will despises. He is a TA in one of her university classes, making her plan even easier. She has an entire year to follow through with her agenda. No problem. It's all under control. Except it isn't. When women start getting assaulted on campus, everything Will is running from begins to catch up with her. She will inevitably have to face it--and decide if getting revenge on the bad boy will actually get her what she wants. NaNoWriMo2021 Warnings: sexual assault, mentions of rape, and stalking.Complete![The Bad Boy I Met On Christmas Eve [✔]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/54080381-256-k899616.jpg)

Delicate Scars
The world continued to spin on its axis, countless sunsets giving way to glowing stars, but for Scarlett Reed, ever since her mother was torn out of her life like a page from a book, the days that followed blinked out of existence. Instead of comforting nights filled with home-cooked pies and joyous dancing, she spends them restrained in her comforter, submerged in darkness, her eyes swollen from the endless stream of tears. Until she is shipped to Seabrook Island, a secluded beachside town she has no interest in making her home and thrust into the whirlpool of Tyler Evans - the boy fate knew she needed. For a single summer, filled with stolen glances in the sea and captured breaths sprawled out on the sand, Scarlett and Tyler gravitate towards each other. For the first time since her world fell apart, she had found a home in someone other than her mother. But she didn't consider that her home could have secrets of his own locked behind closed doors, ones that she'd pry open in the shadows. Ones that would permanently expose the mold growing beneath the wallpaper. While her scars were slowly healing, his were burrowing deeper. When their delicate scars are revealed, will they come together to heal, or will the shrapnel tear them apart?Complete
