Learning the truth about Teddy past and the culprit responsible for her misery shook my family to the very core. Our once idyllic life was now turned upside down, but little did we know moving forth had perilous consequences because we knew. But that's not all that changed. Naively though, once all was said and done, I truly believed life between Teddy and I would become easier, calmer, as would her needs and desires. How wrong was I? Epically wrong. As the days passed, we ought to have grown closer, talked our issues through, but instead, we found ourselves locked in an epic battle of expectations - not just with each other but with the forces determined to drive us apart; including him. Hit after hit, one after another, they just kept coming along with a painful journey I never imagined possible. That then led me to question: how clouded is my judgement? 'Ari' To survive, we had to learn to fight the evil surrounding our life, and not each other. That was easier said than done when we seemed to argue non-stop. We were slowly imploding, and it was only a matter of time before that explosion erupted, causing more untold damage. 'Teddy' I still want her....and I'm going to have her... 'Emmett'

It is a fight of and for love. Alias Solado and Lilly Avante have grown up together as next door neighbors, as best friends, as fated soulmates (even if they don't know it yet). Alias is enrolled in the Marine Corps and is venturing off into the military life, away from parents, away from his home, his family, and most heartbreakingly away from his best friend, but alas a force from within summons him to make such a choice and he finds that sense of belonging in the Corps that he hasn't allowed himself to fully feel anywhere else. Lilly must navigate life without Alias as her steady comfort and constant arms to feel safe in. She struggles through past trauma, new trauma, and the never ending feeling of incompleteness when trying to live a life knowing she will never fully know. This story progresses over Alias' life in the military and away from Lilly while we also see Lilly's life and development without Alias. We see them apart, coming together, and the ups and downs of breathing in the presence of love. It is a story that ventures to answer the questions many great poets and writers have composed to answer: Does Love Fade? Can it stay true to the test of time? Is it enough?

How do you tell your best friend you love them? How do you know they feel the same? How do you stop your heart getting broken in the process? Honestly, in a place, you feel comfortable with the other and just take the risk. You don't unless they are an open book of emotions. Hearts are made to be broken; if it's not by them someone else will break it somehow. This is a situation for two pairs of best friends separated by the decades... In 1950 Corinne goes on a month long trip with her family to the Madison businesses, taking an aching heart with her. Add a slightly secretive father, fainting mother, three brothers with two of them looking to take over the business and a serving girl Elsie, you get a relatively normal posh family. Corinne's childhood friend Callum carries an aching heart while she is away and misses her presence. Him, Corinne and a few others have been clueless about how they have always felt for each other, the others knowing all along. So when the others give him an opportunity, Callum tells Corinne how he feels after a card game threat and a surprise night visit from Corinne. In 2015 being in a military family is hard, which is what Dae and Dustin know first hand. The pair of them have a ridiculous amount of connections, few being known like how Dae's mother served with Dustin's father throughout deployments. Dae had always pushed Dustin away when he wanted to get closer. On the run up to Valentine's day Dustin has a grand plan in which he hopes Dae manages to see how he feels. Presents appear in her locker, her dad gets back from deployment with a companion she was certain was not breathing and then a gift bag which Smoke doesn't react to which makes her suspicious. With your mum being trained as a bomb dog handler that's natural right? Even her dad is in on the plan. Will Dustin leave with the heart he's always wanted or will he get turned away again? Find the answers to these questions in this story!

"How do you feel now, Morgan?" She says, more pointing something out than asking a question. She grabs hold of my wrists and tightens them. If I could see properly I could swear I see them turn purple. "I could beat you to the bone, right here, right now, till you die from your injuries. But, I won't. You will die. Maybe not today, maybe not in a month, but you will." Well, obviously I'm going to die. Humans don't live forever. "Wonder why?" "No, and I really don't care." She answers anyway. "Because we have the power, the people, and the weapons to do it. Face it, you're defenseless against us." I feel some blood flooding my mouth, so I, being a perfectly nice person, spit it in her face. That doesn't faze her at all. "I have the strength and intelligence, something you clearly don't have. Whatever y'all do to me, it won't break me. I will put up a hell of a fight before losing. I will fight, and I will win." I turn over and look at her fellow companions. "Even if I die doing it." "Is that a risk you're willing to take?" ____________________________________ 17 year old Morgan Peters is an average girl living life.
