How we try and escape through anything but moving forward

You and Oscar were the perfect couple. Through thick and thin, you were always together, but an accident changes everything. Now, 10 years later and still pining over your lost love, you have grown accustomed to live with the pain of never seeing him again. But what if destiny has something else planned?.... With the responsibilities of today, can you embrace the past and hope for a perfect tomorrow?

A missed call. A voice on the other end she can't stop thinking about. When Emma finally agrees to meet the stranger behind the calls, she doesn't expect fate to play its hand-or to uncover a connection from her past that changes everything.

An experimental story that follows the emotional journey of Vivian (Vivi), a woman approaching her mid 30s, who is trapped in an unfulfilling marriage with her husband, Sebastian. Despite their shared intellectual pursuits, Vivi finds herself yearning for something deeper-a connection she once glimpsed with Julian, a man she had a love for in college but never pursued. When she unexpectedly runs into Julian after fifteen years at a bar called the Blue Hour, old feelings resurface, leading her to question her choices, what might have been and consequently, everything about herself.

Three years of silence. One unfinished conversation. A confession that came too late-or maybe just in time. This is a true story of what almost was. Of quiet crushes, awkward Snapchats, unspoken feelings, and the one message that changed everything. I never thought I'd talk to him again. I never thought I'd say what I really felt. And I definitely never thought he'd reply. But he did. And that night, everything shifted. This is the story I never thought I'd write... but couldn't keep to myself anymore.

Kapag nasa industriya ka ng showbiz, ang hirap magtago ng nararamdaman sa isang tao. Hindi lahat ng piniling manahimik, walang nararamdaman. Minsan, may tao na pinilit talagang manahimik dahil natakot silang masira ang kung anong meron sila sa tao na iyon - kahit pa kapalit nito ang pagkakataong maging totoo sa nararamdaman nila. Para kay Rafael, sapat na ang makita si Dwey araw-araw, kahit hindi siya ang dahilan ng mga ngiti nito. Pero nang dumating ang araw na pinilit ipareha si Dwey sa iba, doon niya narealize kung gaano kasakit ang manahimik. "The Words I Wish I Had Said" is a story about missed chances, unspoken feelings, and the kind of love that never had the right timing. Kasi minsan, hindi mo kailangang mawalan ng tao para masabing nawalan ka - minsan, sapat na 'yung hindi mo nasabi.

THIS STORY IS AN ORIGINAL REVERSE HAREM, CONTAINING A POLYGAMOUS RELATIONSHIP. THIS WILL BE UPLOADED AS A COMPLETED, STAND ALONE ROMANCE NOVEL, AS PART OF THE FAB DAY EVENT ON THE ACADEMY FB PAGE. The summer before college. It was supposed to be her first step into the world beyond the familiar, a chance for Esther Carmichael to leave her parents and her small town behind, if only for a week or two, before she stumbles headlong into the next chapter of life. It was supposed to be the adventure of a lifetime - until it all went wrong. Finding herself stranded in a service station in the back end of nowhere, with a lifelong friendship in tatters and only thirteen dollars to her name, Esther can't see how things could get much worse. What she needs is a miracle, but those just don't happen to girls like her... Then she accepts a ride from a young man riding a Harley. One minute, her whole world is ending; the next, she's being swept along on an altogether different type of road trip. 'The Suicide Run: The most dangerous motor sporting event on Earth!' Spontaneously sworn in as the newest member of the Las Vegas Silverbacks, the two-time, reigning world champions, Esther quickly realises that she may have bitten off more than she can chew. She knows she should leave before she gets in too deep, before she becomes too attached to the four-man team who are convinced she's their ticket to a third, undefeated title, but walking away is never that easy. Not when it becomes clear she's a natural. As summer draws to a close, she'll have to decide, once and for all, which path to take. Can she turn her back on the life that's waiting for her back home? Is it worth giving up an education, a shot at a conventional life, if she has finally found her dream? What is she willing to give up, in order to follow her forever after? One decision. One choice. One spontaneous moment of madness is sometimes all it takes to embark on life's greatest adventure. Cover by @rosebud024

It's only what could have been if we both did exactly what our brains asked us to do and surrendered to the body's needs. If we let the silence speak louder than logic, if we allowed the moments to stretch instead of shrinking them with reason. Maybe we would have found something rare - not perfect, but undeniably real. A parallel world, perhaps, where we didn't hesitate.
