❝What brings you to Rome?❞

❝A broken heart. You?❞

❝I have three months to live. And I've heard gelato is pretty good.❞

I traveled to Rome thinking I'd never be able to love again, only to find that home was in a whimsical boy who could speak to the wind.

I traveled to Rome because I needed change, only to find an entirely new world inside ethereal emerald eyes.

I traveled to Rome with a broken heart, only to leave it somewhere underneath a thunderstorm behind the Vatican. 

This is the story of my trip to Rome-a trip that filled my life with colors I didn't know existed and songs that could only be heard by my heart. 

All in a matter of seven days.

Step Brother 2: Jealousy (Completed) by LveeSarahK
42 parts Complete Mature
Mature themes, and strong language! 18+ only. It's been 10 years, since Kate chose Logan. 10 years since she broke Rome's heart. As I make my way back, I accidently bump into a man. "Oh gosh, I'm sorry." I say apologetically. "It's fine. Don't worry." His voice. I know that voice. "Rome?" I say in disbelief. The man pulls down the hood on his jacket, revealing his face. It is Rome. He looks older, he still looks good, but I can see, he's not in a good place in himself. He's smiling, but behind that smile, his eyes are full of sadness, and anger. "Hey Kate." He whispers sheepishly. My mouth opens to reply, but no words come out. I'm in shock. It's been a little over 9 years. He's the same, but he's not. "H_how have you been?" I say stuttering a little. "I've been good. How are you?" Our eyes meet for a split second, there's something there, I don't know what it is, but his eyes are trying to say something. "I've been.. Good." I shrug. I'm not lying, but I suppose right now, things could be better. What else could I say? Oh, me and your old best friend, you know that one that betrayed you? Yeah well him, we kinda had a fight, because we were about to have sex, and he didn't want to use a condom, he wants more kids, I don't. So I've been searching for him. I can't find him though. Yeah. No. I won't say that. "Where's Logan?" He says looking around. Ugh, what am I supposed to say? "Oh, he.. He will be back soon. He went for a walk." Such a bad liar. "Want some company, while you stroll around?" He says so innocently. I know I shouldn't, but I can trust myself, and Logan should know he can trust me too. So I just nod, and we begin to walk. Little does Kate know, meeting Rome after 10 years, will begin a rollercoaster ride. One that brings the good, the bad, the ugly, and a wolf in sheep's clothing.

BOOK HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED!! Luca and Alberto have been childhood friends since Luca followed Alberto up onto the shore. They've shared memories over the years and when Luca and Guilia were here to finally stay at Portorosso. Of the courses of years where Alberto would write to Luca, he'd also become quite the artist.

But it came at a cost. Leaving Luca and everyone he loved behind. Luca was a different story. He'd joined his school choir the first year he went to school with Guilia. His voice was like angels and he was able to get his name out there. He took himself more seriously and decided while Alberto was away he'd take the opportunity and become a singer. A few years pass and Alberto returns home from his schooling to find Luca is off in the world, singing to hundreds of Theatres, bringing in some of the most famous people to listen to him only. He searches for Luca and they instantly click, only this time, now being older they take action in that feeling they once shared for each other. But of course, there's always someone who has their eye on someone else to ruin someone's career. When both are caught they must decide whether they choose to be together or devote themselves to their passions and never be seen in public together. ''' Why is it matured themed: - Use of alcohol and drugs - Foul Language - Explicit moments - 15+ moments, nothing a person under 15 should be reading but that's up to you - Mental Illness (Sometimes heavy and sometimes lightly applied) - Death

Bliss. Delight. Contentment. Euphoria. Elation. Joy. Glee. Felicity. Jubilation. These are all words synonymous to the word happiness. But what is true happiness? Happiness is that feeling of butterflies fluttering around in your chest, trying to break out. Happiness is that invisible fluid rushing in your veins, making you shiver in the most wonderful way. Happiness is the force that pulls your cheeks up into the widest smile and makes your eyes twinkle. Happiness makes you light-headed and giddy, it is in fact like alcohol. Well then, I am utterly and completely drunk. When you're happy, everything feels amazing. Even small insignificant things like getting up in the morning. The golden hue of sunlight streaming in through the curtains feels like a soft caress from the hand of a lover. The birds seem to chirp sweetly outside, a melody to which the leaves sway as if mesmerised by their music. The curtains tango with the wind beautifully. Every little thing seems perfect. And that's a word I'd use to describe my life. Perfect. To give you a little introduction about me, let me start by explaining the most important aspects of my life. I have a loving family. There's my sarcastic, yet surprisingly sweet brother, my beautiful mother (both in looks and spirit) and my stern, yet humorous father. I have the best best friend, Charlotte and I have an amazing boyfriend, Theo. I'm quite beautiful and popular too which I'm not saying to brag, I'm just stating the truth. So that is my life. The life of Tia-Jade Garcia. *** What she didn't know was that every high has a low and that the higher you rise, the lower you fall and the more painful that fall is. Follow her story as she loses everybody she ever cared for and thereby her happiness. See her fight all of her demons by herself. Watch her fall in love...with herself because the only person's love you'll always need is yours. This is her self-love story.
