Their Stars by lettersathroughz123

Ivy Ross is a very lonely girl. Both of her parents have passed away, so she lives on her own. Ivy is 18 years old and in her senior year of high school. She isn't noticed at school, she doesn't have friends, she doesn't have anybody. She is always treated rudely at school because people know she's a loner, and the people at school don't pay attention or get close to the loners. Ivy is a very sweet girl, she's also funny. People just don't wanna get to know Ivy though. Jonah Davidson is also kind of a loner. He does have one friend, Markus Ramirez. He stays quiet. He usually frightens people, and he isn't really a people person. He has always grown up in a bad home and enviroment. So it cause him to do stupid things. He's basically a bad boy, but the term bad boy is just too cliche. So we don't say bad boy, he's just...reckless. What happens when Ivy and Jonah run into each other and eventually become neighbors? Will they become really good friends? Or more? *wink wink*

Slow It Down by WriteOnMyFreeTime

"You may be his world, but you're the only thing that ever felt like home to me." ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Some people never get second chances. Lilah never thought she'd get one with her brother's best friend. She's quiet, kind, and inexperienced in love. He's tattoos, a bad reputation, and a trail of girls who never stay. They were once inseparable-until Jackson walked away without a word. Now, four years later, they're forced back together as reluctant project partners. The boy who once protected her has become cold, distant, and impossible to read. If he hates her, Lilah's determined to hate him right back. But the more secrets unravel, the harder it becomes to ignore the truth: the line between love and hate is paper-thin. And Jackson is still carrying the one secret that could destroy everything-especially her heart.

His Sunshine | ✓ by pink_flamingo_09

She looks up at me, taking a step forward and smiling slightly, "How can I ever get hurt when I have you here to protect me?" "But you could have gotten hurt," I murmur softly, hanging my head and feeling my shoulders drop, the tension seeping from my body. "No. Stop," She cuts me off sternly but tenderly, "Don't talk like that, Reece. I'm okay, you're okay, we're okay," She speaks softly, reaching her hand up to gently brush her thumb over my cheek, just under the cut that's there. "We're okay," I repeat, taking a small step closer to her. She nods with a small smile, moving her hand down from my cheek and instead placing the palm of her hand on my chest, right over my heart. I know she can feel how fast my heart is beating. I just don't know why it's doing that. ~ Reece Carter is the bad boy of Northwood High. He smokes and he fights. He has countless tattoos covering his body. And he doesn't care about anything or anyone else.

And he protected her from everyone who tried to hurt His Sunshine. Get ready for a story filled with bad pick-up lines, twin telepathy and a lot of fighting. Like, a LOT. Thanks for that one, Reece.

Now, at eighteen, Jade is counting down the days until her exams are over, excited to spend a stress-free summer with her boyfriend, her two best friends, and her forever family.

And when she catches the eye of Lucas Coleman, the eldest of the brothers, it's only a matter of time before she falls. Only one questions remains: Which way will she land? (This description is a work in progress and may be subject to change!) TRIGGER WARNINGS ⚠️ : Drugs, violence, references to childhood abuse, mental health issues **UPDATES EVERY THURSDAY**
