This is not a dating story. It's not a love story. It's not a breakup story. It's just a story of a girl who's parents don't love her enough.


Taegan is a normal 15 year old girl. She has long, dark brown hair and green eyes. She is just like you and me. But one day, in the middle of the Summer term at school, a terrible thing happens to Taegan. 
Her parents could help her. They could fix her. They could keep her alive. But they have the holiday of a lifetime planned. They are going to Australia that summer, with Taegan's two older sisters, and supposedly Taegan. And her parents do not want to sacrifice their holiday. So they have to choose. Keeping their youngest child alive, or going on the trip of a lifetime, to the Great Barrier Reef. 

The decision Taegan's parents make change her whole life. 

It also shows her that she has the world's greatest friends. 


Read on to follow Taegan on a journey that will define who she is, while trying her patience and love and opening her eyes to the real world. 



A/N: I don't know why I named the book what I did. If anyone has any better ideas, please comment them, and if I like one, I'll change the title.

There was only one word to describe them - Inseparable. Marlene and Leandrea are your twin goals. The perfect siblings who did everything together, did everything for each other and if the time came, they would willingly sacrifice their life for the other. However, the true test of their love begins when Marlene is diagnosed with leukemia - a fatal cancer. On the road to save her sister, Leandrea finds herself doing things she never thought she would do - stepping out of her comfort zone, socializing, hanging out with the popular kids and gradually but most importantly - falling in love. But when she finds out what's really at stake in this mission, will saving Marlene be her top priority? Or will Ryden Andrews - the school's not-so bad, bad boy and a growing deathly cancer be all it takes to separate the inseparable? Will this treacherous bit of life change these twins for the better or scar them for eternity? As soon as they got themselves stuck in this situation, they knew there was no turning back. Only one of them could capture Ryden's heart and only one of them could live. ☆★☆ Highest Ranking: #69 in Teen Fiction ☆★☆ This book has been written, edited and published by me from scratch and is purely fictional.

One day you're happy, and the next, a freak accident exposes your boyfriend's dirty little secrets in the worst possible way. I lost the man I loved, my trust in people, and my home in less than one afternoon. At least I know that I've pushed past unimaginable pain before, and I can do it again. Elijah didn't break me, just my heart. 💔🔨 So, the LAST thing I needed was to run into my ex's best friend, Gray on the street. Who cares if he's hotter than lava? Gray's a cocky jerk who seems to get a misguided kick out of making my blood boil. And did I mention the guy's got a chip on his tattooed shoulder even bigger than his inflated ego? Unfortunately, I just found out that I accidentally hired him to work on the BIGGEST campaign of my career!💀 But when Gray's prismatic eyes fill with heartfelt apologies, I don't know how to feel. It's messing with my mind, my career, my new friendships, and worst of all, it's hurting what's left of my ruined heart. I thought Gray hated me, but I was wrong...There is something much, much stronger that binds our fate. 🥊💕 This book contains adult themes (aka sexy stuff and trigger content) as well as Oxford commas and the occasional grammatical error. 🥊💕 **This is a complete story that I am currently in the process of editing, so feedback, notes, and helpful comments are always welcome.

What Dreams Are Made Of by Kayla_Whiteman

I wish I could say life has been easy. But that would be a lie. Having a parent pass, all but easy. Having a great group of friends though, that only makes it easier to cope. The down fall of that group of friends though, is that after a funeral, long summer vacation, the one friend I looked most forward to seeing, I can't even form a sentence with now. --- The summer before his 8th grade year, Calvin Truitt, his father John, and little brother Brayden went through a devastating loss. Calvin and Brayden lost their mother in a long, unglorious fight to the big C, pancreatic for the record. And John, lost the love of his life, his wife, and his very best friend. His friends spent that entire summer giving nothing but comfort, love, and not to mention good times that Calvin didn't want but absolutely needed. Minus one friend. That one friend, Delilah Martin. Delilah Martin spent that summer away, visiting with her grandparents in Nevada, but little to Calvins surprise, when they came back on that first day of school, Delilah was no longer that girl he always knew. Braces were gone, body filled out, coming in to her own sense of style, and it had Calvin shaking in his shoes. Fast forward 4 years, and barely a word has been said between he, and his former bruh girl best friend turned baddie, until, Calvin's fresh new sister shows up in beautiful St Augustine Florida, and just as much as he and his friends rocked her world, she rocked his by befriending beautiful Delilah Martin. Delilah, she is the girl Calvin has always dreamed of. When it comes to Calvin, Delilah feels that she might as well keep dreaming. But with the help of Haven, Tucker, Colten, Ricky, and Shay, not to mention the loud and over-opinionated friends he's come to share with Haven from New Orleans, can Calvin make his dream girl his reality?

Who is willing to save a girl when she is unwilling to save herself? ~*~ Everyone's been bullied. There's no doubt about that. Some more than others. But its a given that in today's society, everyone's been hurt by the words of someone else. Some are able to brush it off and ignore it. However, others may not be so lucky. Enter the world of sixteen year old Samantha Stewart. The classic joke at GlennWood High School. The one everyone puts down. The girl they write about in bathroom stalls. The girl with no friends. She deals with the bullies by popping a few pills every now and again to numb the pain she's in everyday. After the death of her mother and father, Sam and her older brother, Mikey, moved to a small apartment in town. Mikey is to busy working to pay the bills to even notice his sisters deadly habit. Then a mysterious boy with dark hair and gorgeous hazel eyes walks into her biology room and changes the game. It is said that love is strong, but is it strong enough to save her life? *A/N : Hello, thank you for taking the time to read this :3! But I just wanted to say, this story is being edited. It was my very first story ever written, so it needs some love. I was 13 years old when I wrote this, so as you may imagine, it is not the best. But I love this story, so I am going to fix it to the best that I can because I want you to love it too. The chapters that are in the middle of being editing will say so :) Thank you!
