Seventeen-year-old Brontë Hale has spent four years planning her escape. Ever since her mother died, her father's anger has turned their Orange County home into something dangerous. So Brontë hides bruises beneath oversized hoodies, keeps thousands of stolen survival dollars tucked inside a black backpack, and counts down the days until she can finally disappear. Then there's Bowie Turner. The troubled boy with shoulder-length curls, a silver eyebrow piercing, and fists permanently stained with blood. One year ago, Bowie survived leukemia. His identical twin brother, Ringo, didn't. Now Bowie sees Ringo everywhere - in mirrors, windows, reflections in the ocean at night. While his grieving parents cling to the memory of the perfect son they lost, Bowie spirals into drinking, fights, and self-destruction, convinced the wrong twin survived. When Brontë shows up at Bowie's bedroom window bruised and terrified, asking him to run away with her, he says yes before she even finishes the sentence. Suddenly they're speeding up the California coast in a stolen truck with stolen money, motel keys, cigarettes, and nowhere safe to go. But freedom isn't as beautiful as they imagined. Because grief follows Bowie everywhere. And Brontë's father isn't done looking for her. As summer burns around them, the two broken runaways begin falling in love through late-night songs, motel parking lots, and Pacific sunsets - discovering that sometimes the only person who can save your heart... is another person trying desperately to survive their own. Two broken kids. One stolen summer.

⚠️ WARNING: Contains mild language and a brief physical altercation. "I'm fine being alone." Was all that came out of Nico's mouth whenever asked about having friends, a girlfriend, or whatnot. That was until he met the sweet, adored, enthusiastic Gracie-who just moved in next door. "Hello, I'm Gracie Wagner." Who knew that one simple phrase could change Nico's stance on many things, especially... Love? 🌼 This story was inspired heavily by the Justin Bieber song of the same name, "DAISIES". Each chapter title is a lyric from the song; and the themes in the storyline also follow the ones in the song.

Her best time was 2:01.97. Her worst time is now. Seventeen-year-old Elyssa Kuo has spent her whole life chasing the wall - the next PR, the next record, the next relay. Swimming was supposed to be her ticket out of San Marcos. Then June 2026 happened. One month after the CIF State Championships, the world collapsed. The infected run. They swarm. They climb over each other to reach you. But they won't go deeper than their chests. Now Elyssa's swim team isn't racing for medals. They're racing for food, for medicine, for home. And in a world where water is the only safe place, being a swimmer isn't an advantage. It's a death sentence - or a miracle.

Theo Laurent, the boy who changes your life. Juno has always known exactly what her life would look like-same town, same routines, same safe, carefully built world above the shop she and her mom call home. It's steady. It's predictable. It's everything she's supposed to want. But beneath it all, there's something restless. A quiet pull toward something more-more freedom, more risk, more life than the one she's been living. She just never thought anything-or anyone-would be enough to change it. Until Theo Laurent. He doesn't just walk into her life-he shifts it. Slowly. Unintentionally. Until everything she thought was certain starts to feel fragile, and everything she tried to ignore becomes impossible to outrun. Some stories don't begin with a spark. Some begin with a fracture. And once it starts... there's no going back. (Theo - inspired by Drew Starkey)

Or at least that's what Emma thought up until meeting Bobby-a boy she never expected to meet, let alone fall for. But you know what they say-the heart wants what it wants, and sometimes that involves challenging everything you thought you knew about the world, especially when Emma believes that her world should be golden. She's got goals-Grammy winning kind of goals, that don't involve the kind of complications Bobby brings. And falling for Bobby was never part of the plan. Emma's weekends at her cousins' neighborhood was supposed to be carefree and simple. Not lying to sneak off elsewhere. What starts as something unexpected quickly becomes something she can't ignore... even when the secret slips. Because when feelings get involved, so do opinions, expectations, and the people who aren't afraid to make theirs known. Suddenly, growing up isn't as simple as it seems... especially when you're fifteen. « 𝑰 𝒔𝒏𝒖𝒄𝒌 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒈𝒂𝒓𝒅𝒆𝒏 𝒈𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚 𝒏𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒔𝒖𝒎𝒎𝒆𝒓 𝒋𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒔𝒆𝒂𝒍 𝒎𝒚 𝒇𝒂𝒕𝒆.
