Retrouvailles: French. - The happiness of meeting again after a long time.
-----
Indy Sterling has always been independent. She was the girl who never forced having others in her life, they always were drawn to her. She could carry herself, and whatever weight other's needed to release.
What happens, then, when she finally lets someone carry her baggage for once? And then that person leaves? Maybe she wasn't as tough as she once believed.

Fighting Feelings
"You can't say stuff like that" I mumble, and he chuckles. "And why cant I?". "Because we're friends" I say, reminding both him and myself. I dont miss how Cameron's smile drops a little from my reminder, but he plays it off and nudges my shoulder. "Indeed we are pretty girl. So I suggest you quit blushing around me. That's not what friends do". _____________________________________ Charlotte Hendrix. Everyone at school views her as sweet, innocent little Charlotte. And although she is sweet, she's not as innocent as everyone thinks. Cameron Cooper. The new boy. The kind, funny boy who hides his shitty life with a big smile on his face. The boy who tries help everyone but forgets himself. What a perfect match. _______________________________________ After having a small, awkward interaction with the new guy while rushing not to be late to Ms Parkers math class, having to eat lunch together with friends was not what Charlotte expected. But when left alone, with the help of three milkshakes, a friendship forms between the two. Well..its a bit more complicated than a simple friendship. Feelings are quickly formed, but its never that simple. Add some denial, a few milkshakes, alot of toxic friendship, and a bit of fighting feelings, and you end up with this hectic story.

Unintended Consequences
"You just have no idea." His voice was thick with restraint. "W-what," I breathed. His gaze flicked to my lips as his thumb stroked again. The calloused pad against my soft flesh sent goosebumps down my arms. His once warm eyes were dark as they lifted and bared into my soul. "What you do to... men." His husky whisper weakened my knees. I almost fell but his other hand settled on my hip, pulling me closer to him. "What you do to me," he added on a breath. The hand on my jaw shifted. His fingers left trails of tingles as he slipped them back slowly, under my earlobe and into my curls. *************************************************** As a young girl, Charlotte Avery's favourite pass time was daydreaming about her Prince Charming: Archer Johnson.

A Mutually-Assured Attachment
Our eyes made love to each other long beforehand. You were something that felt so new yet so familiar to me, like a place I have never been but somehow never left. I think I have known you my whole life and loved you while longer. If I would live my life again, I'd stay in love with you. Your love is something no one can ever replace and I can't imagine my life without you. And I think forever is not enough for me to love you. -Everly Peyton Sterling There are so many things you don't know about us. Like how we loved each other quietly. I don't think you realize how terrifying beautiful you are. Most people don't see that vulnerable side of you that keeps hidden so well. But I saw it and loved it quietly. I choose to love you in so many ways that I am unable to show; so I show you ever so softly in the silence between my words. You may think that no one is burning for you, dying for you. Know that I burned quietly for you and I die for you a little more each day. And I will always love you. Always. -Hayden Monica HendersonComplete
Because of Haven Beach
"The moon's really beautiful, if you think about it," I blurted. "Yeah?" he asked, mild amusement and curiosity mingling in his voice. "Yeah," I confirmed. "It's just- there's something about the moon that's ethereal. I don't really know how to describe it, but it's a constant in life. You can't always see it, but you have to trust that it's out there somewhere. And when you can see it, it's all bright and shiny and overcomes the darkness." I paused, searching for the right words. "I don't know. I guess it's a reminder that there are good things out there, even if you can't see them... And it's cool to think that someone hundreds of miles away is staring at the exact same moon as you. It makes me feel not so alone in life." Turning my head, I saw him staring at me intently with a thoughtful look on his face. "Too deep for a Friday night?" I laughed nervously, feeling my face grow hot. And this was precisely why I didn't go to parties. He shook his head and seemed to snap out of his daze. "It was deep in a good way." *** SHE was quiet & left out.
