One Summer Novel Novels & Stories

Ivan will move on, and all of this will just be a strange summer memory we both pretend never happened. Honestly, I was beginning to regret coming back here at all. I just wanted a break. A peaceful, quiet vacation. But instead, I got swept into something I never saw coming.

She also told me how much money she had saved monthly. [Zayn, I’ll keep waiting for you to come back.] I did not go home during the New Year because I was busy. During the summer break of the following year, I went back to my hometown. But Layla was not around. She had gone to Northcall for her postgraduate studies. She had mentioned that in the text she sent me. “Did you get used to living abroad? You’ve lost weight.” Madeline’s eyes teared up as she inquired after me.

I still didn't get why they liked him. He was handsome, but well… I couldn’t quite get it. Maybe because he was my brother. Summer break was getting close in California, and there was something about the way the sun made everything smell that I loved. I had decided to spend June at my elder brother’s apartment before I resumed college. My brother, Davis, had moved out when he was nineteen and had been living alone ever since he started college. He was pissed off when I told him I was coming over, but what could he do to me?

It’s hard to get diagnosed, especially as a woman. Not everyone knows this but the first chapter, the prologue, of this book is the fourth draft. It was going to be completely different with her dealing with her ADHD but I started it all over again because Summer Hayes is a brilliant, strong person whose story doesn’t need to revolve around accepting ADHD. She is not her ADHD and I’m not my ADHD. I genuinely hope you enjoyed reading Summer and Damon’s story. Even though I struggled writing it in the beginning, I love this couple.

Mandy York, my girlfriend, was practically a migratory bird that always flew away during summer. Every year, during July and August, which were the hottest months of the year, she would fly off and disappear from the face of the earth. She said that it was because her company gave her a special project abroad that required absolute secrecy from her. She was also not to contact anyone during that period of time. Even when I got into a car accident last year and lay in the ICU for two months, she never called to ask about me. Plenty of times, I had comforted myself and endured the harsh summer alone. One day, I accidentally saw the social media account of a friend of mine living abro

I say as I take out a fresh outfit. "Yeah, sure. Next time we are going to the Hamptons, and please next time I drink don't let me make any plans. Otherwise, we might go hiking next time." I laugh as I put my hair in a ponytail. "Duly noted. So how are things with Anthony? Don't think I didn't notice the two of you intertwining fingers as we watched the movie." Summer blushed as she went to close the door and then leaned against it. "I know it hasn't been long but I really like him." She says with a big smile on her face. "I think about him all the time, his black hair and those big brown eyes, and those lushes lips. And the way he smells..."

The email was written in usual formal tone, but it seemed to have been written in a hurry. Dorian closed the laptop with more force than necessary and stood up. He picked up his phone from the nightstand and scowled at the number of missed calls and messages he had received from Kyle and Viviane. He scrolls to Summer’s number and taps on the call button before he can backtrack. ~~~~~~ Summer did not feel like leaving her bed. Yesterday, yet another truth unfolded in front of her. She doesn’t know how to react now that she has come to know so much about who she is, where she belongs, who her m一.

Chapter V: Memories It was a little blurry and muddled but Ren was sure it was a tiny memory of long back then. It was from one of his adventures as a rebellious child, he’s small though. He likes to escape and sneaks out of the house whenever the babysitter has fallen asleep, but Ren is a good little kid you see, he always makes sure to be back before they notice he’s missing. It was near winter, the remnants of autumn season was slowly fading and the wind began to get more chilly in the morning and every night. Although not cold enough to puff a smoke when talking.

And then there were Marianne and Elena—inside, carrying the weight of summer storms long past, and secrets that stretched across years like invisible threads. Gemma opened her notebook, pen poised above the blank page. She didn’t know what she was about to write—an observation, a story, a warning. Maybe all three. But she knew one thing: this summer wasn’t just fleeting warmth and careless laughter. It was a convergence, a delicate balance of past and present, of choices and consequences.
