Julia Alyssa Millers has an expiration date and it was approaching quickly. Ever since elementary school she's known she wouldn't make it to 18. With a cancerous tumor in her brain, she only has about a year left to live.
Jackson Terry Wakeman is Julia's best friend, or at least WAS before he moved away in 5th grade. He was madly in love with the cinnamon haired girl ever since he had met her. Now he's back and the first thing he notices is that the bubbly, innocent Julia Millers he knew has definitely changed.
With death around the corner, Julia had a long decided that it'd be best if no one cared when she left and distanced herself from her parents, classmates, and anyone she had come in contact with. So to keep herself sane, she turned to the world of stories to keep her company in fictional universes she isn't burdened with the weight of her secret. But now Jackson has reappeared in her life and he is determined to make her see that there's more to life than sticking her nose in a book and find her pursuit of happiness.
The picture I used for the cover is NOT mine. It belongs to the anime My Little Monster and I simply edited it slightly and slapped some words on it. Any books or excerpts used in the story also do not belong to me.
All similarities to people who read the story or stories belonging to someone else is purely coincidental.

The Impossibilities of Us
"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 languageConcluída

Her very first visitors were her adoptive parents, Fabio and Darlene Hunter. She had four friends that stuck with her ever since she could remember, literally.

Powers unknown to the modern world, sheltered children who only knows the world through TV and non-interactive computers. All of the information comes in that school, but never comes out. I gotta say, why would you believe something that was written and altered by humans from outside? Would you even put your trust on the person who doesn't let you out unless he wants you to? Read on as we see Freia and her friends struggle to find their places in the world they thought they knew of. [COMPLETED] [UNEDITED]Concluída

AJ Ferro: She's cute, nice respectful. A helper. When she walks in a room, people usually get flowers. People love her, people want to be her friend.

I was 13 when I started drinking alcohol for fun. 14 the first time I took ecstasy at a college party I snuck into, the same age I lost my virginity. This was the first time I went to a mental institution because it's also the year I first tried to kill myself. 15 the first time I smoked meth, took a bump of cocaine, shot myself up with heroine. This was the first time I got sent to rehab, it didn't work and I came out worse. I was 16 when I tried to commit three times in the same year, the last time I got my heart to stop for 30 seconds.

"You already have." Micah bites out. "And I'm pretty fucking sure you liked it too, if your orgasms were anything to go by." - "I want-" Micah stopped, running his fingers through his hair.

Closeted Prom? <COMPLETED>
Scott and Mitch are besties for life, nothing can separate them. What happens when they end up back in the closet? This story is really really sappy and fluffy so if you don't like that, then don't continue reading. There is one or two smut chapters, but it's labeled so if you don't wanna read it, you won't have to. This is my first individual scömíche story that I'm publishing. I really like this story and I'm really really really excited to have you guys read it. I'm sorry that it took longer than I thought, but you'll see why when you read it. Thanks for waiting so patiently! I had to break up the days because they would be 8000 words each and I don't think you'll have time to read that all at once. I would post the whole thing at once, but I'm gonna break it up just as a little tease. I'll be posting a new part every Tuesday. Sorry that this story took almost a year to write? I've been very busy with school, after school stuff, and a certain project that I'm working on. In other words, I'm trying my hardest to finish this to get it out to you guys, so thank you so much for waiting so patiently. Love you! ❤ Scomiche AU And PLEASE note that these characters you're reading about aren't the real Scott Hoying and Mitch Grassi. They're characters named after them, based off of them, but they aren't really them. They're just characters in a story, not real life people. In most of the scenarios that I wrote about, there's always something different between the real them and the fictional them I wrote about. If you've ever written a short story or something similar, you always based your characters on someone you know, right? But it's not them? Well, that's what this is. Yes, it's still fanfiction, but it's just that. Fiction. It's a fictional story with fictional ideas, fictional characters and fictional scenes. There's nothing real about it, except that they're words on an electronic screen. I just wanted to clear that up.Concluída
Alexa. (#1)
#908 in Teen Fiction '9/12/2016' #788 in Teen Fiction '18/1/2017' Life could be really tough. It could be sunshine-y and peachy but just like that, it turns upside down and everything falls apart like an avalanche. This is exactly what happened to Alexa Gray. Alexa was the school's sunshine, everyone loved her. Until she was diagnosed with stage 4 Leukemia, and her life went down the hill.

And A Bet That Changes Their Lives. ------------------- Started: 14th of May 2016 Completed: 13th of September 2016 ------------------- Cover made by the amazing @Jenikel098 ------------------- DISCLAIMER!! This novel was literally written in 4 months when I was at the age of 14 trying to overcome my obsession with the fault in our stars (yes, I used to read the book at a bare minimum of 3 times per week, if not once daily). I decided to write my own version of it and as you can see, it turned out like this. If you choose to read it and find it silly that is because it's written by a 14-year old. So, please don't write hate comments or anything. Thank you all, have a nice time reading it!Concluída
