Rebirth Road
Do your past mistakes define you? After being left behind in the rapture, Lara Lessu begins to travel the post-societal collapse world filled with those not worthy enough of being taken to the paradise. Loneliness is everywhere, but to Lara's luck, she is not alone with Namu Pala and her cat, Neppy, accompanying her in the journey. Pond, Pillage, and Unreal arc have been weekly releases. Going forward, each arc will be released in a bulk every some months. The story in total will have nine arcs. ATTENTION! If you didn't pay attention to the tag last time, the story has been marked mature as the story contains mature themes related to mental health that could push the story to be 'mature' by Wattpad's standards, but I would say it's fine for a 16+ person to read it.

Tomorrow's Blues
~"You don't- you don't need me." I stared in shock. This was the first shred of emotion he'd shown since he started avoiding me, and I had no idea how to respond. What was I supposed to say to something like that? So I let myself be honest, and I told him exactly how I felt. "But I do." I almost choked on my words. "I do need you. I can't talk to anybody else. I can't eat. I can't sleep. And I know you know what that's like."~ Liliana is now an orphan. Just 17 years old, she lost her parents in a boating accident and now she must live with her best friend, her best friend's parents and her best friend's brother, Joseph. She struggles through her grief as well as dealing with the mysterious but obnoxious Joseph, and it soon comes to light that he isn't the only one around her keeping secrets. Living under the same roof, tensions arise, and Liliana begins to discover that a perfect family may not be so perfect after all." If you like a good old slowburn, enemies (ish) to lovers, bonding over tragic backstories type beat then this story is for you, I promise :) #1 in #bestfriendsbrother (didn't note the exact date - some time in January 2021) #1 in #dealing with death (11/04/21) amazing cover by @sixty6ix !!Complete
The Abandoned Lovers
"Tell me. Why won't you tell me?" He asks and I look towards him slowly, "You didn't even talk to me until yesterday! I'm trying to make it so nobody notices me, Kingston. I don't need this." I say and he slowly turns my face towards him, closing my locker and pinning me up against it. "What if I need you?" He asks and I roll my eyes. "Nice one, Hamlet." I say, walking away from him. One of the perks of being short, easily get away from tall people. ❤︎ IF YOU WANT A BETTER BOOK W A SIMILAR VIBE: check out My Evangeline on my page! wayyy better written (I was prob 12 when I wrote this) and a good story! ❤︎ Kingston Brag is the blonde haired popular guy with baby blue eyes, he's the guy every girl wanted.

Finding You
"He rests his forehead on mine and closes his eyes. Instantly, my own eyes flutter shut. I can feel his lips so very near to my own. 'Mia..," he says, almost like a whisper, 'I'm not him.' I gasp as his lips almost brush mine. 'Please... I need you to try and trust me.' If only he knew what he was asking of me." *** Mia Valiente is a girl who's spent her entire life trying not to be noticed. Her goal for the rest of junior year is to keep her head down, survive Track & Field season, and avoid her ex-boyfriend, Sean, as much as possible. It's been a year since she decided she loved Sean. It's been a few months since he broke her heart. It's been a week since he came back to stomp on the pieces. She feels like she's completely lost who she is. She doesn't know if she'll ever be that person again. Until she meets Hunter Scott. And all that begins to change. Hunter is tall, charming, and confident, with an edge that makes his kindness all the more surprising. Not to mention, gorgeous as hell. He's the kind of guy who knows exactly what he wants. So why does it seem like all he wants is Mia? Maybe Hunter is a little lost too, and maybe through finding each other, they'll find themselves. ******* HIGHEST RANKINGS: #1 IN DRAMA, #15 IN ROMANCE, #1 IN QUOTESComplete
Beautifully Broken
"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.Complete
