Emotionalbaggage Stories

Basketball was in her blood, but LaMelo Ball made her want to set the whole damn court on fire. Theresa Young doesn't play games. She runs things quietly from the sidelines, calling shots behind the camera while the league watches her brother light up the court. Her situationship with Jalen Johnson? Chill. Uncomplicated. Safe. But when Charlotte's finest shows up with that cocky grin and too much swagger for one man, everything changes. LaMelo Ball is all attitude and bad timing. He gets under her skin-then under her guard. What starts as petty jabs and passive glances turns into something hotter, heavier, harder to ignore. Now Jalen's noticing. LaMelo's circling. And Theresa's stuck between the boy who never claimed her and the one who might just ruin her carefully built peace. The pressure's building. The season's heating up. And some fouls don't get called until it's too late. DISCLAIMER: This is a work of fiction.

Mere has been in love with his best friend Nia for as long as he can remember. She's everything - bright, beautiful, impossible to let go of. But to her, he's just Mere - the one she runs to when the world gets too loud, not the one she dreams about. When Nia starts dating someone new, Mere tells himself he's fine. That loving her from a distance is enough. That he'd only break her heart if she ever looked at him the way he looks at her. But love like his doesn't stay hidden forever. And when a letter he never meant her to read makes its way into her hands, everything shifts. This isn't a fairytale. It's the story of a boy who loved quietly, a girl who didn't see it until it hurt, and the messy, beautiful, painful space between friendship and something more.

This is a story about forgiveness. Five years after "The End", Wheatley finally ran out of battery up in space and is now able to rest for a long time in peace. At least that's what it seemed, except GLADOS decided this was too good for him and brought him back down with the idea of letting him rot away on the surface, but not everything goes as planned.

Words by someone wandering the world and living

After Hearst, Logan moves to LA to work on his writing career. Back in Neptune, the others deal with loss and pain. This is a story of a pact between friends. Emotional roller coaster of a story. Expect to laugh and cry. (No one dies, don't be scared) Not movie compliant.

Six years ago, Zaharina Novati left the De Mevius estate and the boy who never quite asked her to stay. Now she's back-for a party, a favor, and definitely not for the green-eyed vineyard heir with a PhD in avoidance and a minor in emotional constipation. Lucien De Mevius has grown into his brooding jawline and inherited all the dysfunction a family empire can buy. But when Zara walks back into his life-in stilettos, no less-he finds himself wishing for a second chance he's not sure he deserves. Surrounded by old money, new gossip, and enough repressed feelings to warrant a Netflix miniseries, Zara and Lucien must navigate family politics, sibling sabotage, and the kind of chemistry that should be illegal in a room full of expensive crystal. She's trying to keep her distance. He's trying not to combust. And everyone else? They just want the canapés and a front-row seat to the fireworks. Six Years Between Us is a sharply funny, achingly tender story of timing gone wrong, secrets that don't stay buried, and the kind of love that refuses to be ignored-even if you're really trying.

He left without a word. Now she's back-with blood on her knuckles and revenge in her eyes. After six years together, Rhea's world shatters when her boyfriend, Zayn, vanishes without a trace. No goodbye. No explanation. Just heartbreak and silence. But she doesn't fall apart-she trains, she bleeds, and she turns herself into someone unrecognizable: a fighter, a weapon, a girl with nothing to lose. When Rhea steps into the underground fight ring for the first time, she's not expecting to see him-Zayn, with her name tattooed across his knuckles and no idea who she really is now. What he doesn't know? She's about to destroy everything he thought he knew. But Zayn has secrets too. Dangerous ones. And Rhea's about to learn that in this world of fists and lies, love and revenge might be the deadliest fight of all.

A poem based off the feeling of faking an emotion when around other people.

"𝓨𝓸𝓾 𝓼𝓹𝓮𝓪𝓴 𝓸𝓯 𝓶𝓸𝓷𝓼𝓽𝓮𝓻𝓼 𝓵𝓲𝓴𝓮 𝔂𝓸𝓾 𝓱𝓪𝓿𝓮 𝓷𝓮𝓿𝓮𝓻 𝓫𝓮𝓮𝓷 𝓵𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓭 𝓫𝔂 𝓸𝓷𝓮." The Foxglove King is the first instalment in the Gardenias Series. It focuses primarily on Cassandra's point of view while the narrative includes special interludes from the perspectives of other characters. 𝓑𝓵𝓾𝓻𝓫: Cassandra of Evaris is nineteen-a queen far too young, shaped by war, raised on half-truths and the ashes of a past she cannot remember. Her crown is a burden. Her court, a cage. She remembers nothing before the age of ten - only flickers of fire and screams in the dark, blood on marble floors, and the sharp ache of something - or someone - missing. But war sharpens the soft. Now, as the drums of conflict thunder from Caladorn's shores, Cassandra steels herself for battle. Then comes the storm. Nikolai of Virelia - dark prince, feared king, whispered curse - is in her castle. Uninvited. Unarmed. Unbothered. And offering an alliance. She should say no. His name is painted in blood and whispered in war councils like a curse. A name scrawled in crimson across every war table. But his eyes - his eyes look at her like they've known her. Like they miss her. She does not know that he has spent the last three years chasing the memory of a girl he cannot name, guided only by the words inked on his skin: Leave flowers by her bed. He does not know that the ghost he seeks is a queen who now stares at him with cold fire and a blade beneath her gown. Old magic stirs. Forgotten memories burn just beneath the surface. And in the ruin left by two kingdoms poisoned from within, the truth waits-sharp, buried, and dangerous. Because love is a weapon. And some crowns were forged in blood.

Camila Wilson nie wierzy już w miłość. Po toksycznym związku, w którym nauczyła się bać własnego cienia, zamyka się w małej piekarni i pilnie strzeże swojej samotności. Nie szuka niczego poza spokojem. A potem spotyka jego. Natan Silvestri - z pozoru beztroski, sarkastyczny, z papierosem w dłoni i spojrzeniem, które rozbiera duszę na części. Milioner z przeszłością, o której nie mówi nikomu. Jest jak żywioł - przyciąga i rani jednocześnie. Ich spojrzenia krzyżują się po raz pierwszy na pokładzie łodzi, gdzie jedno spojrzenie wystarcza, by wywołać burzę. Między nimi rodzi się napięcie, które z każdą stroną rośnie. Ale w tej historii nie chodzi tylko o miłość. Chodzi o ból, o niedopowiedzenia, o to, co dzieje się, gdy dwoje złamanych ludzi próbuje się nawzajem uratować. A może zniszczyć. To opowieść o tym, że nie każdy dotyk koi, a nie każda rana musi krwawić, by boleć.

Leah always knew things were temporary, people were temporary, that just made her hold on tighter. And watching her best friend fall for her high school crush over the past few years hasn't been as easy as she's let on. How do you love people without hurting yourself?

They never defined what this was-just traded brief touches, lingering stares, and the kind of conversations that only happen after midnight, when the city sleeps and the job can't find them for a few hours. Jubal Valentine isn't good at balance-especially when it comes to matters of the heart. And Rina Trenholm has built a career on control, on not letting anyone get too close. But when a crisis forces them to work together outside the safety of their usual routines, the feelings they've spent months ignoring start to surface-and this time, it's harder to walk away. How long can two people live in the grey before something-someone-has to break? Or Set during the quieter in-between moments of Season 4, this fic explores the complicated, often unspoken relationship between Jubal and Rina. It weaves canon events with imagined ones-what might have happened behind closed doors, and what they never got to say out loud. Angst, vulnerability, and a little bit of hope. Mild canon divergence.

Yazid Rami Al-Mansour has lived most of his life behind the safety of quiet observation and buried mistakes.

Tons of secrets. And a lot of sunscreen ( right or wrong... find out later!!). Gossip Girl meets 13 Reasons Why - but messier, funnier, and way too real.
