Carter Adams never meant more than a fling to me.
He wasn't supposed to be permanent. We were never supposed to see each other again.
...so how in God's name did I end up in this situation?
•~•~•~•~•

But Carter definitely wasn't over her.

He whispers and I can feel his breath against my lips. We're so close. A voice in my head tells me that I shouldn't. I'm better than that. But then there's the louder voice that's so curious. Curious if he still tastes the same, if he's as good as I remember, or maybe even better. I lock eyes with him before his gaze falls to my lips. "Hayden," I whisper. He takes a step closer like we weren't already close enough. And then he slowly fills the space between us, his head dipping so his lips can meet mine.

The Summer of Serendipity
Summers are supposed to be that time of the year that you should look forward to. No school, hours at the beach, late night parties. What's not to love? Three words. My neighbor's grandson. For once in her life, Maliah Arias is looking forward to her summer. It's the summer before senior year and life couldn't be better. She has a hot college boyfriend, plenty of Dl soccer scholarship offers, and she just went through a massive glow up. To make matters better, her neighbor's annoying yet very hot grandson, Jackson Cruz, who usually visits every summer, is away in Europe. When circumstances change, Maliah finds herself once again in the presence of Jackson, who seems hell-bent on making her life miserable. Although as time passes, the two of them find themselves growing closer and closer, whether they like it or not. Tears are shed, hearts are broken, and Maliah finds herself wondering if she'll be able to survive the summer and make it to senior year.
Altered
Have you ever met someone who alters the course of your life? For good or for bad, they've come in, given and taken, and then- BOOM! Your life was never the same. There's always a change, an altering of reality. When you meet those people, the reality that you've known your whole life is suddenly gone and a new one has taken its place. When those moments happen, there's no going back. You can try to return to the way things were but nothing, and I mean nothing, can take you back to exactly how it was. That's what happened to us. I think that's why we're still trying so desperately to get back to some sort of normalcy. Four years later and we're still on the ground, crawling, in search of the happiness that was lost that June. Summers will never be the same. Midnight walks through my neighborhood will never be the same. Field parties with bonfires and loud music will never be the same. I still don't know why you left and what lead you to the decision you made. What I do know is that we're here. We're alive and we're pushing forward to the future. A future that you're not a part of. But in some ways, I'm glad you're not a part of it. I just wish it wasn't like this. *** TRIGGER WARNING*** SA, abuse, suicide, substance abuse, and mental illness. This is a complete story that is much like life; fast, full of surprises, and not always how we want it to be. This has been a project of mine for over three years. It was self-published on Amazon, but after some issues in publication, I decided to just upload it on here. I hope you fall in love with these characters like I have. The friends in this story are trying to make names for themselves, figure out who they are, who they can trust, how to love, and how to separate themselves from a restrictive community. As in any coming of age story, they will experience growing pains... but will they survive them before its too late? PLEASE READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS.Tamamlanmış Hikaye
Hopelessly Devoted
"Never call a girl a bitch," I glared into his eyes as he opened them, piercing into me, the bright blue drink I had just poured over him still dripping from his dark hair. "Or she just might act like one." I gave him one last sarcastic smile before pushing by him and walking away, practically strutting. Well, this year will be fun... • • • • Crystal Summers; a self-proclaimed expert in all things sarcastic and the human embodiment of destructive decisions. Trying to get away from her troubled past, she moves with her mom to California to start a new life, and potentially not screw this one up. There, she quickly meets Scarlett and Savanah, her new-found partners in crime, and her life finally begins to feel normal again for the first time in years. But she just so happens to also collide with the school's sexy, notorious jackass, Ashton Monroe.. and his pack of asswipes. She loathes him, and the feeling is mutual. But as the poets say, the line separating love and hate is a very thin one. And often times, when two people hate each other, it can grow into much more. Hopeless devotion, if you will... • • • • !!!TRIGGER WARNING!!! • slight mention(s) of suicidal concepts • substance abuse, addiction, anxiety, PTSD • sexual assault, domestic abuse • strong language and mature scenes • • • •Tamamlanmış Hikaye

Unconditionally
"What I was suppose to do? You left me, you went to Arizona." I shout at him as he storms away. "Wait for me." He shouts and I go mute. Did he really just say that? Had he really expected me to just sit around? "Oh yeah, just like you did for me." I finally say, finding my voice. "You moved on Elijah and it crushed me," I start as I get emotional and my voice breaks. "You think I don't know? You think that I wasn't hurt? I spent ten months holding onto you and even after that I still won't let you go, I still can't let you go." Elijah flips, shocking me. "You are everything Scarlett...and I am nothing without you." he says, eyes liquid as he stares intently at me. I notice how close we were to each other now. His hand on my waist now and I step in closer to him, heart racing like crazy. "I am nothing without you," he repeats quieter, leaning in towards me. For sixteen year old Scarlett Grey, happiness and love has never been in her favor...or life itself. But all that changes one crazy, complicated, and absolutely confusing summer...Read about Scarlett's tumultuous summer as she discovers things she never knew about life and love and the craziness of it all.Tamamlanmış Hikaye
