Loveboming Stories

I am Genevieve Irene Reyes, and I have been cursed with falling in love alone.I have loved Gavin Dawson for over 5 miserable years anyone could ever imagine. " I've found almost everything ever written about love to be true. Shakespeare said "Journeys end in lovers meeting." What an extraordinary thought. Personally, I have not experienced anything even remotely close to that, but I am than more willing to believe Shakespeare had. I suppose I think about love more than anyone really should. I am constantly amazed by it's sheer power to alter and define our lives. It was Shakespeare who also said that love is blind. Now that's something I know to be true. For some, quite inexplicably, love fades, for others love is simply lost. But for others love can also be found, even if just for the night. And then, there's another kind of love, the cruelest kind. The one that almost kills it's victims. It's called unrequited love. We are the victims of a one sided affair, we are the cursed of the loved ones. We are the unloved ones, the walking wounded. The handicapped without the advantage of a great parking space!" -Kate Winslet as Iris in "Holiday" Triggers: Discussion and mention of suicide and self harm

Violet and Cassey's friendship is built on years of shared moments and unspoken understanding. To everyone around them, they are inseparable. Violet is warm, expressive, and easy to approach - the kind of person who fills silence before it can become awkward. KC, short for Cassey, is the opposite. Quiet and reserved, she keeps most people at a distance without even trying. But some things do not end as cleanly as they should. KC's former boyfriend remains a presence she cannot quite shake, lingering at the edges of her life under the guise of familiarity. When the demands of the school festival begin pulling her away, she leaves behind more than she realizes. Because in her absence, something begins to shift. Drawn together by circumstance, Violet finds herself spending time with the one person she was never meant to trust. What begins as coincidence soon becomes a pattern - conversations that last a little longer, glances that linger too much, silences that somehow feel comfortable instead of empty. And slowly, against her better judgment, her feelings begin to change. Now Violet stands at a quiet crossroads, caught between the loyalty she has always believed in and emotions she cannot explain away. In a place where rumors spread faster than truth, even the smallest choices can leave permanent cracks behind. Because some mistakes do not simply disappear. And some friendships, once broken, never return the same.
