Allys was a ray of sunshine and smiles when she was a little girl, but facing various hardships that the universe threw at her changed her completely. She joined the military at 19 years old and came back to Chicago to mourn the death of her parents four years later.

Grief and pain. She thinks the universe is laughing at her. The worst day of her life followed her into her dreams, tormenting every night and day, and that's why she has a hard time letting all the pain and fear go, not feeling any ray of sunshine that she used to be.

But things change when she starts working for Dave, someone who brings a ray of adventure and laughter into her life. But what about that sunshine that she needs?

All she needs to do is let the pain go.

"I wanna drink more!" he yelled with his eyes closed, raising his arms in the air.

"You just had enough. You're going to regret having a hangover tomorrow." I walked to his bed and took off his shoes and his tie.

"You know what I don't regret, Miss Smartypants?" He had a silly smile on his face. "Kissing you."

 "You're just saying that because you're drunk."

"No!" he opened his eyes. "I'm saying that because it's the truth."

"I... Am here to see you.", I told him as I placed my hands around his neck. I could feel my heart beat getting faster but I had to keep it strong if I had to survive this scenario. "What?", Brandon asked completely startled. I leaned in more closer to him. The only good thing in this entire scene was that he wasn't pushing me back due to my creepy behaviour. "Oh... Bran, I was missing you so much, I just... I needed to see you.", I said as I came up with lie. "Are you drunk?", Brandon asked as he leaned in closer trying to smell my mouth. Thank God Fel had given me her mint gum only moments before I went commando and came inside the locker room. "What?", I scoffed still standing extremely close to Brandon. "I just.... I was missing your gorgeous face.", I told another lie. But wait? His face is gorgeous so that isn't a lie. And was I not missing seeing him? I noticed Brandon who just had his eyes popped out of his socket with bewilderment at my words. I decided to peck him on the cheek before I storm out of the locker room. I leaned ahead to peck Brandon who moved his face in my direction and instead of his cheeks, our lips crashed. Brushing against each other, our lips touched. I could feel fireworks exploding inside my entire body. With my neurological system not responding anymore. ******* Depicting the hostility and vulnerability of a young woman to a society the story centers around a normal sophomore, Amy Cole, who had a normal life. Well way too normal for her situation. Amy's life was all good until one day, when her friends dumped her and blamed her for something she never even did. Her life takes a complete turn as her childhood crush, Brandon Mayhew, the Mayor's son, who once broke her heart, rushes back into her life through a series of events. With new friends, shifting thoughts, confused feelings and fighting anxiety and standing for the right thing. Amy makes her way to the top. Only to get at the top of everyone's hate list.

Olivia and Evan met on the first day of college-and hated each other instantly. She thought he was arrogant; he thought she was uptight. But fate had other plans. Through awkward encounters, accidental proximity, and undeniable tension, their animosity turned to something more complicated: attraction. Over time, Olivia found herself falling for Evan-just as he started flaunting a new relationship. Heartbroken, she pulled away. But Evan noticed. Curious, then concerned, he began digging beneath Olivia's carefully built walls. When the truth finally surfaced, they faced it head-on-sparking the start of something raw and real between them. What followed was a slow-burning love story: from a painful breakup with Evan's girlfriend to quiet, intimate moments that bonded them deeply. As they navigated their final year of college, insecurities crept in-but so did laughter, shared dreams, and growing love. Graduation pulled them apart, and long-distance tested everything they had built. But visits, job changes, and one grand decision brought them back into the same city-and back into each other's lives for good. From moving in together to starting careers, their love deepened in the rhythm of everyday life. But love wasn't always smooth. Career crossroads and personal challenges-including fertility struggles-shook their foundation. Still, they chose each other, over and over again. Through engagement, steamy nights, wedding vows, and a honeymoon in Italy, Olivia and Evan learned that love isn't about perfect timing-it's about presence. Their marriage blossomed through laughter, vulnerability, and quiet resilience. Even when the future brought uncertainty-like the possibility of not having children From enemies to soulmates, All the Ways We Stay is a deeply emotional, often tender story about two people who choose love-over heartbreak, over distance, over time. A story that proves forever doesn't arrive all at once. It's built, one ordinary moment at a time.

"You shouldn't need to drink to try and drown your feelings Kayla. I've watched the people around me do this all my life and it doesn't fix anything." "I know it won't fix anything, but for right now it helps me forget" "You can't keep running away or hiding. In the end it all catches up." "You sound like you've been through this before." "I guess you could say that." "You want me to open up to you, but are you ever going to open up to me? I want to get to know you Tyler, but you are so closed off. You know why I got knocked over by that wave? Because I was watching you, I was watching your face and seeing how free you felt riding that wave. It's the only time I've ever seen you let go. You know that someone hurt me, but I think you have been hurt too. When you're ready to talk, I'll be waiting. Maybe we can help each other." "Maybe I'm not worth getting to know" he replied. "And maybe I'm not worth you trying to save me either. Or maybe I am" With that I got up and left him to think about what I said. I put my cards on the table, now it was up to him to make the next move. ******** A year ago, Kayla had it all, doting parents and a relationship with her older brother that others envied. By the end of junior year that changed, she's left broken after a series of events in her life, but she is determined to hide her pain from her friends and enjoy the summer. That is until she meets Tyler, who can see right through the hurt. He has his own secrets though and isn't ready to let anyone in. Together they will either fall apart or fall together.

He's popular. I have one friend. He's outgoing. I'm quiet. He has a girlfriend. I'm alone. I'm shy and he's purely arrogant. But they say like forces repel and opposites attract. And we're complete opposites. ════════ "Hello, my name is Juliette Hunter and I think you're an asshole" I said to him, turning my body away so I could, once again, try and grab the book I so desperately needed. "Your turn" I added, after a moment of silence, realising that he was too stunned to speak. His recovery was lightning fast however, as he replied with "Hi Juliette, my name is Levi Knight" He paused, allowing his eyes to roam my body, slowly taking me in from head to toe. I looked him in the eyes, defiant in not allowing him to get to me, as my cheeks began to burn. "And I think you could qualify as one of the most beautiful girls I have ever laid eyes on" he continued smoothly. I couldn't think of a smart remark in response to what he had said so I mumbled a "fuck off" before returning to the bookshelf, I was sure my face turned crimson. "Just out of curiosity," Levi continued, now leaning against the bookshelf. I wasn't going to warn him about the fact that it was slowly tipping over. "You're single right?" I wasn't going to tell him that his assumption offended me either. Instead I replied with "Just out of curiosity" I said in a mocking tone "You're single now too, aren't you?" "You're a feisty one, aren't you?" "You're not gonna leave me alone, are you?" I muttered, attempting once more, to grab the book I so badly needed for English. "You're really hot, you know?" "You're really annoying, you know?"
