Elsie is a girl. And August is a boy. 
But this isn't a girl meets boy story.

When an old family friend asks for a favour, Elsie wasn't exactly expecting his son August to move into her families New York penthouse. She also wasn't expecting him to look like a Burberry model, either. And she really wasn't expecting him to be a giant pain in her ass. Or to have a guitar case full of secrets.

But all the secrets in the world can't change the fact that Elsie just might be with the wrong guy. 

And maybe, just maybe, August figures that out before even Elsie does. 
Will he help her open her eyes? Or will he let her live her life playing pretend? 



OooOOOOooOOoOOOOOOOooooh!
How mysterious. How romantic.
The suspense is KILLING me.
Literally. 

But in all seriousness, I've started writing again because it seems to be the only time I'm not anxious, go figure! And I wanted to share that with you lovely humans. Or you might even be aliens. Whatever. I'm not one to discriminate. 

Stay tuned Amigos, I'm predicting a bumpy ride. 

But like, the Space Mountain kind, not the flat-tyre, deflated kind.

ANYWAYS,

|CROSSROADS x LEAP YEAR | Eighteen-year-old April Lewis flees her troubled home, desperate to escape her emotionally distant, controlling mom, and seek out her dad. Little does she know a chance encounter with her classmate will take her on a cross-country ride: a journey that will change April's life forever. A venture that will lead her down a path of self-discovery and unexpected love. *** When eighteen-year-old April Lewis' mom walks around like a zombie, evades all attempts to talk and controls her every move, April decides she's had enough. She leaves home one warm summer evening with nothing but a yellow backpack filled with her coveted dad's letters he's been sending her for the past months, and some bare necessities. She's determined to seek him out and go live with him down on the West Coast, where he has a temporary job. The last thing April expects is almost being hit by a car. The owner of the vehicle? Her classmate, Dave Rivera, a troubled boy whom she almost never talked to before, and who can't be more different than her. After making sure April is just a little banged-up, Dave strikes a deal with her: he'll help her get to the West Coast free of charge, as long as she doesn't report him to the cops. The two embark upon a road trip from NY to LA, navigating through stunning landscapes and meeting a colorful cast of characters. While sharing life stories and exchanging experiences, armed with the wisdom from her Dad's letters, April and Dave discover that they are a lot more alike than they originally thought. The journey slowly becomes more important than the destination, and their path takes an unexpected turn when a shocking secret comes to light. © 2024 EvelynHail Exclusively on Wattpad Based on prompt 4!

He came right in the middle of a tornadoe and managed to turn it into blue skies. He changed my perspective and gave me hope and strength." I looked at him, and he was smiling, and his eyes were a little glossy. He took my hand and kissed it, a small tear caught in the corner of his beautiful eyes. "I thought, hey, maybe life isn't so bad after all. Maybe I can finally allow myself to love and be loved, and to live life normally. When we went to your party, you told me to wait for you. But then your perverted cousin made me feel super uncomfortable, so I went looking for you, just to be able to feel at peace again. And that's when I saw it." My heart beats skyrocketed, because this was the moment everything changed forever. "Saw what?" Asked Axel. I took a deep breath, and continued.
