"Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened."
For seventeen-year-old Jade Brown, everything in life was unfair. So unfair, she'd lost her smile. Her emerald eyes had lost the spark it once had. She just had one person to hold her together, but somehow, she managed to hurt that person too. Will she ever be allowed to be happy?
Daniel Miller had everything anyone could ask for. He had the most loving parents in the whole world, the best neighbours to stay with, the best friend everyone wanted, and the prettiest girl to fall in love with. Yet, he wanted and needed just one thing. Time. That was all he asked of life.
As long as he could remember, Lucas Ragan had been in love with his friend. It wasn't just a childhood crush, he had really fallen for her. He wanted to give her all the happiness in this world, and more than that. He wanted to love her more than anyone had ever loved anyone. But of course, some wishes can never come true.
Will Jade find her happiness? Will Daniel get the time he wanted? Will Lucas be granted his wish?
This is a story of three lives, bound together inexplicably, forever.

Childhood Sweethearts
#1 Teen Fiction | #1 Young Adult | #1 Romance "We all need someone to drive us mad." - The Wombats. He stared arrogantly down at me, a smirk plastered across his face. I sneered up at him with distaste, wanting to wrap my fingers around his neck and strangle that smirk off of him. He brushed my golden hair from my face, his long, slender fingers sparking electricity in my skin, making my knees wobble together. "Will you ever, forgive me?" he whispered huskily, his eyes intently staring into mine. His face was only mere inches from me. I just needed to reach out a little further to kiss him... "Yeah. Over my dead body." I snapped, before throwing my arms out forcefully, shoving my hands into his chest, pushing him from me. -*-*-*- He, is Carter Williams. I, am Lacey Adams. We were once, inseparable. The 'Golden Couple'. The unbreakable best friends, that everybody envied. Nothing could get between us. A part from being tighter than white on rice, we updated our status from friends to being in a relationship, frequently. We were neighbours, which meant our families were all close and even co-owned houses around our town. This, all is, until the day of my sixteenth birthday. Everything changed. The loving relationship we shared, was severed and torn apart. I couldn't hardly stand to look at him any more, without spitting fire that is. Every day is torture being around him. He was in all my classes at school and the window in my room was even directly aligned with his. So, what happens? My mother's mum gets sick, so dad and her fly out. Just them. Leaving me to stay with Carter and his parents, who are never home. We would be alone. In one house. Under the same roof. If I was insane before, I have no idea what I am now. © 2016 by LaurenJ22.

Old wounds reopen. Paranoia tightens its grip. Secrets begin to surface. Someone out there hasn't forgotten the past and whatever is coming isn't finished yet. They linger. They follow. They wait for the perfect moment to return. And this time... It's personal.Complete

I would say heartbreak is lying in bed at two in the morning, watching my ceiling fan go around and around, wondering why you couldn't stop to listen. Two seconds. All I needed was two seconds to say the words. All I needed was to seconds for me to tell you I was in love with you. With everything about you. With the way you move, and the feeling of your arms around me. With the feeling of your chest vibrating as you laugh. Heartbreak is falling in love with everything about you, but having the words permanently stuck in my throat." _____ Gracelyn Levinsky grew up with Daniel Grey.

What do you do when you find out that your best friend has cancer on Christmas Eve? That's what Grayson Rogers and Blaze Hughes begin to ask when they find out the reason for their best friend's moroseness on Christmas morning. It's slightly different for Grayson, though, who has had the biggest crush on her since they were kids.

Amethyst Martin sincerely wishes someone would have answered that for her before she learns this bitter truth. Now, she has no idea how long she has left to live - and everyone wants her to act like she's okay. After what she promises herself to be her "final breakdown" (a huge lie, btw), she comes to terms with her new reality, takes a friend's advice and creates a bucket list. Falling in love with her best friend, however, was not on the list. Neither was getting heartbroken by her lifelong crush or kidnapped by a guy in her class, but hey, life happens. ♤ originally More Than Just Best Friends Grayson Tyler Rogers - originally George Tyler Rogers Blaze Edgar Hughes - originally Edgar Liam Cooke Gwyneth Jen Hughes - originally Lila Pat Cooke ♤ unpublished and republished so many times I've lost count... hopefully it's here to stay this time round.🤞🏾
