"If it's easy, it ain't love." 

_________________________________________


"What the fu-?" My mother yelled at the sight before us. Ronald stood in the middle of the opened double doors, in a hole riddled bloody wife beater. His pants had been torn at the knee and he'd just threw down the bonsai plant that sat in the middle of the entry way. I pulled my jacket to cover my chest, from the painfully frigid air that blew through the door.

"Ronald!" My mother yelled repeatedly, carefully easing her way over to him. I was right behind her...

_________________________________________
It wasn't her expectation to fall for one of her cousin's friends. At Andre's house Licia met an anomaly of a person. 

Things happened unexpectedly for the both of them. He was trying to get a career started and she was trying to figure things out.

There was no way she could've known that one of her cousin's weird band mates would become such an integral part of her life...

He was a quiet kid, just about to graduate from high school. His parents didn't want him so he was forced to live with  friends. Talent was his only way out but it wasn't easy...

Nothing Comes Easy.


Pronounced: (LEE°CEE°A)



Cast

                 ∞6/7/1958---4/21/2016∞

I started writing this a couple of days after Prince shockingly passed away. It's been deeply therapeutic for me and hopefully it is for you to.

Growing up motherless wasn't always what the 18-year-old Tanya Moore would've dreamt of. Life had a funny way of doing things ya know? It was bad enough she only got to spend the first quarter of her life with her mother before she lost her to stupid cancer. The only time they got to hang out was Saturday and Sunday before and after Church. She was always at home with her father, he wasn't always so bad, he was a great man, a great husband, and a loving father.. he was a retired war veteran and did nothing but collect his checks and would occasionally do favors for old friends. Stacy Moore was a high school teacher and all the kids in the neighborhood loved her. She was always so sweet and would sing to her class if they did well. A loving mother, wonderful wife, amazing daughter, a great friend, but when the good Lord calls, there is simply nothing we can do about it. As much as we may try, God always has the final say, it may be a bad way to turn things out, but remember things happen for a reason and God never makes mistakes. Once she passed away after battling cancer for three years, things changed.. for the worst, and poor sweet little Tanya was caught in the crossfire of it all. We're all afraid of something or someone, we all get tired, we all get fed up with the same old routine, but the question is, how much is enough? When is it simply too much? When should you begin to fight back or run? How long should you sit there and let the only person that you once loved and looked up to continue to misuse and abuse you? Tell me something, if you had a chance to get help would you run and never look back?

Morgan Hall is your average teenager. That is if you consider having a billionaire CEO of a world renowned company as a dad and a fashion designer of one of the most famous lines in the world as a mother average. Let's not leave out her singer/actress of a sister who's taking the world by storm. Morgan was no doubt born with a giant silver spoon in her mouth, but her life isn't always as perfect as it seems. Aaron Smith, quiet and reserved, admired my many for his good looks. He doesn't seem to associate himself with many people. Which is why it's so strange when he finds himself becoming friends with the rich, little, daddy's girl...at least that's what he thinks of her. Fate and chance are at work when they cross paths one afternoon on a bus. Throw in crazy lives and secret identities, and you get one hell of a ride on the road to self discovery. What Morgan doesn't know is that one stubborn move could land her a new friend, and possibly even more. ~~~~~ "It's amazing...magical even, how hearing one song can take you back to a single moment or a series of them, just so you can live it all over again," he said. "I think that's the best part about music. It's like time travel you know? Going back to the past, or sometimes even visualizing the future...what we could be." "What about the sad moments?" I asked softly. "Nobody wants to re-live those." "Maybe not, but that's the entirety of it," he answered, raising his hand to brush away the hair from my face before tucking it behind my ear. "There's always good in the bad, and bad in the good. Balance." His fingers trailed down my arm, sending shock waves through me. "Can I tell you something?" I asked softly. The corner of his lips curved upwards in a small smile. "You can tell me anything."

"The things you do for friends." He laughed softly... "Yeah. For friends," I whispered. "Is that what we are then?".... "Is that what you want?" he asked after several moments of just staring at each other. I gripped the door frame behind me as I felt my knees weaken. I was sure by his smirk that the movement didn't go unnoticed. I swallowed nervously. I didn't know what to say. Just a week ago I told him we were nothing. A few days before that I was ready to tell him off and possibly even smack him if I ever got the chance to see him again. Sure, he was one of my oldest friends and my first (and only) love, but he was also my first heartbreak. Could I go back to being friends with the same guy who insinuated to the world that I was a cheater? And why did "just friends" feel like not enough in this moment? *** ** * When McKenzie went out with her best friends one night, she never dreamed she would run into her ex, famous country singer Beau Anderson, and she never dreamed that she would allow him to come back into her life. Unable to cope with having a relationship in the public eye again, McKenzie is determined to resist all of Beau's charms...no matter how hard that may be.. Beau is determined to tear down the walls she's built since their ugly and very public split. But what will he find in the rubble? Will they be just friends ...something more...or nothing at all....? Can they reconcile their past in time to save their future? *** ** * WARNING: mature content! There is inappropriate language and some mature scenes.
