"...My sister died at the beach last summer. Well, she almost died. We won't know how, until she wakes up. If she ever does. She’s in a coma, lying in a hospital bed three miles away from home. She’s not dead. But she’s not alive either."
It's all Angelica's fault, or so she thinks, that her sister Carmen fell down from the rocks and into the water. Angelica is trapped in a world of fear and guilt, surrounded by people who cannot live without her sister.
It doesn't help that a juvenile delinquent named Marcus keeps appearing everywhere either, or that suddenly her best friend Charlie is getting very secretive and distant. Summer is changing everything, but there's only one thing Angelica really wants to change - what happened last summer.

Lost in the waves
Do we truly know those we consider as our family? This is the last year before the beginning of the rest of Cara and Mia lives! Mia Carter still has one more year to spend on Angel Island before leaving, with her best friend, for Montreal to pursue their dream careers. The only problem is that she has to hold on without murdering her nemesis: Austin Coopler. At least, that's what she thought before Cara suddenly vanishes on the evening of the first day of school. No news, no leads, and even stranger, neither the police nor her family seem to care. But Mia is convinced that this disappearance is not a simple runaway case. Caught up in an investigation that goes beyond a mere disappearance, she has no choice but to cooperate with her archenemy and a group of friends who have known each other since childhood. TW - sensitive topics This story contains a lot of references to addiction (alcohol and drugs), and as the chapters progress, they will become more serious. Furthermore, the main character (Mia) suffers from diagnosed chronic anxiety, which I have portrayed to the best of my own experience. All characters, places, and events are fictional (products of my imagination only). Protected story.Complete
Summer Dreams
A summer by the sea. A girl who feels a little lost. And a boy who changes everything. Every summer, Emma spends her days at her family's beach house on the coast - and every year feels the same. The same sunsets, the same walks along the shore, the same memories hanging in the air like salt. But this summer feels different. Emma doesn't know why, but something inside her has shifted. On the first day, she spots a boy she's never seen before. He's confident, a little mysterious, and always surrounded by a group of friends. Their eyes meet for just a moment - but it's enough to spark something Emma can't ignore. Between long summer days, bonfires on the beach, and stolen glances, what begins as distant curiosity slowly grows into something more. But the closer Emma gets, the more she realizes he's hiding things he doesn't share with just anyone. A slow-burn novel about first love, family, and the small moments that change everything.Complete

Cynical Souls
COMPLETED✅ Two high school teenagers finding themselves, analyzing this ever changing world, and building love. This is the type of love you wish you found in high school but probably know way too well that it only exists as fiction. Today I'm turning my fiction to reality. ❣️•••❣️ Excerpt: Just as I was about to seek shelter under some building's roof, the tires of a car come to a halt, I wonder who might pity the lonely girl walking in the rain. The passenger window rolls down, and I spot the most unexpected person seated behind the wheel. "Get in" comes out his voice, and I must've stood there agape for a few moments because next comes his rhetorical question. "Are you getting in or continuing walking in the rain?" Eyebrows raised expectantly. He sounds annoyed, like he regrets his decision to ever stop and help me. ❣️•••❣️ #5 in cynical #2 in loveandfriendship #1 in opinionated #4 in ihatelife #10 in nerdgirl #10 in HighschoolRomance #26 in GoodGirlBadBoy *contains mature themes. *contains cursing.Complete![The Forgotten [Larry Stylinson]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/33743135-256-k957910.jpg)

It's been months since The Incident, but Harry hasn't forgotten. How could he, with the nightmares keeping him awake every night. Not a second goes by that he doesn't think about it. The Incident left his sister, Gemma, a walking tragedy. She doesn't speak, she barely eats, and she rarely sleeps. Orphaned in a camper in the middle of a run down trailer park, they're barely surviving, haunted by the gruesome memories of what happened that night. When the news catches wind of their whereabouts after seven months of searching, Harry and Gemma are taken into CPS custody, where they're placed with their mother's old childhood friend. Excited for a new start, one with running water and indoor toilets, Harry does his best to put one foot in front of the other and finally be alive. But he's been just living for so long that he's not sure how, especially since Gemma doesn't seem to be improving. And to top it all off, his new family's eldest son, three years his senior, is too curious and seems to know just a little too much.Complete
