"Elle... baby, stop. Please, just hear me out one last time" He spoke, his voice nearly cracking as he said each word. 
  
  Once the first tear broke free, I knew in my heart that we could never go back from here.
  
  "Baby girl, I was so wrong for thinking that you were something I could ever live without. I thought everything I wanted was back in that town, but it's hard to live with only half of my heart.  It took me long enough but I finally woke up. It's you, Elle... it's always been you. It doesn't matter how hard I try, I don't know how not to think about you"

Almost, Always 🍁🥀 by _velvetverse_

"Almost, Always" 🍁🌹 Some people enter your life like whispers...soft, sudden, and gone before you can hold on. She didn't expect to see him again. Not after years, not like this. Not when she had finally learned how to forget the boy who never truly left her mind. But fate isn't loud..it's quiet, casual... cruel. In a classroom filled with noise, their glances screamed stories. A slow-burn connection, unsaid words, and almosts that could've been everything. This is not a fairytale. This is a memory rewritten..with the ending she deserved.

The Choices I've Made (By the Bay #1) by authorjlberg

Twelve years ago, he drove away with my heart in his hands. I've moved on since then. Or so I thought. Growing up in a small town, there weren't too many options when it came to friends. But, even in a sea of a million, I'd always choose Jake Jameson. I felt safe with him. Safe with my secrets, my dreams and eventually - my heart. I thought we'd have forever together. That was a long time ago. I thought I'd forgotten those piercing blue eyes and the sound of his laugh. I tried to obliterate the memory of his touch from my mind. But, one single glance, as he stands at my door, twelve years later, and I'm suddenly transported back to a simpler time when love was easy, and my heart was whole. The problem? I'm marrying his best friend.

His Silence, My Storm: Drowning In Hope by manahilalihere

They say love begins in silence. But what happens when the silence lasts too long? This is not a love story about happily ever afters. This is a story about almosts- About late-night conversations that stopped just short of meaning something. About eye contacts that promised more, but always ended in friendship. In Part 1, she loved him quietly. In Part 2, she starts to speak- but still, he doesn't listen the way she hoped. She tries to become his safe place. She tries to heal his fear of attachment. She tries to read his mind, hold his hand without holding it, and love him in a way that feels patient-not desperate. But the more she hopes, the more she drowns. This is the continuation of a one-sided love story that became too heavy to carry. A confession soaked in unsent messages, mixed signals, and a storm of emotions that never found a home. Sometimes, loving someone means letting go. Sometimes, silence is louder than goodbye.

Soulbound by SJMinyard

This was supposed to be a new start for them; Astra had made that clear. If she looked back on it all now it would tear her apart. A fresh start meant no more wounds. It meant new friends, and distance from endless hospital visits and a potential criminal record. She was ready to leave him behind her.

Mystery Diary (DISCONTINUED) by masra112

Ok started this in 2017, it's currently 2019 and I'm not the same person who wrote this, my style is completely different and so are my opinions and personality, I apologise if u want to read this but I like to keep it up on here as a memory of who I was. Elle Gordy. That's me. Plain old Elle Gordy. I was completely happy and content with my life. That's what everyone thought. No one knew how I hated almost every day in the year. There's more to me than what meets the eye. No one knew that I was thriving for something interesting to happen in my life. Everyone saw me as a straight A student who never did anything wrong. Because everyone saw me as that person I could never be anything else. Until something changed everything. Something gave me a chance to be myself. And this is how it all happened.

Waiting Until Dawn {Mike Monroe x Reader} by FandomQuack

"Back to this hellhole, huh?" "I wouldn't call it a hellhole" He mutters. "Oh, but I would." I snap harshly. He almost flinches. "(Y/n), I'm sorry. It wasn't supposed to get out of hand like that..." I cut him off. "I know. But I can't believe you would ever think of doing that. It's cruel!" He looks away in shame. "I'm sorry." He says again. "It's not me you should have apologized to." I say, hot tears threatening to spill. I didn't know who to feel about him. I was so completely in love with him, maybe I still am, but they were my best friends. I just wish everything could have been different.
