Melody Sawyer a name that will be stuck in your head like a song or a lullaby « No pun intended »
She's bold, savage, got the brains, throws the best comebacks, and could kick ass, yet behind all that she's a softie who watches Disney movies and loves her family and friends.
However It wasn't a fairy tale type of ending for Melody after high school like her friends nor was it a happily ever after.
It was the end of a memorable journey and the beginning of another in college.
A wounded heart that doesn't trust anyone. However she hides all of her insecurities behind a mask that followed her like a shadow, her guarded heart and her stubborn mind makes her lose a lot of chances in love, or so she thought
But either way it's just a start of another journey in life that she has to decide herself if she's gonna make the best or the worst out of it and see life with different views.

Where Silence Sings
She hasn't spoken a word in years. He's got a reputation that screams trouble. Anya Thorne's voice was stolen by a past she can't escape. Kidnapped, abused, and left for dead, she survived, but her words died with the trauma. Now, her only solace is the college music room, where, after hours and utterly alone, her unique, hauntingly beautiful voice can finally sing, a raw whisper of who she truly is. Jasper Knox is the campus bad boy. Tattoos, piercings, and a rebellious streak a mile wide. He's constantly butting heads with his strict father and has no plans beyond dodging expectations. But late one night, leaving detention, a melody drifts from the music room-a voice that stops him cold. He hears her. Really hears her. Drawn by the secret beauty of her song, Jasper finds himself obsessed with the silent girl. As he slowly, patiently, chips away at Anya's deep-seated trauma and fierce paranoia, a tentative trust begins to bloom. He shows her his own hidden world-a raw, emotional talent for the piano, a passion he's always concealed. But their fragile connection is threatened by every side: Anya's overprotective parents who fear Jasper is too dangerous, his demanding father who sees Anya as a distraction, Jasper's manipulative "bad girl" girlfriend, Cassidy, who's determined to tear them apart, and the whispers and rumors that follow them across campus. And for Anya, the shadows of her past are always lurking, threatening to pull her back into the silence. Can the bad boy and the broken songbird find a harmony together, or will their combined scars leave them more shattered than before?Complete

Astrid
Carter slowly walked towards me, butterflies swarming in my stomach, filling every inch of me. "Assi." he grabbed my wrists, and made me look at him. "Who was that song about?" "You know who." "Was it... about me?" "What would you say if it was?" I cocked my head to the side, our eyes staying connected with each other. "I wouldn't say." he moved closer to me, towering over by the slightest bit as his breath surrounded my every nerve. He leant down, took a sharp breath and connected our lips. - Astrid was a beautiful girl, who had lost her sense of who she was and where she belonged.

The Art of Ruining Me Gently
She's quiet in the way flowers bloom unseen, her mind a labyrinth of thoughts she dares not speak aloud, her hands aching to create what she's convinced must remain locked away. He's noise and color, a melody that doesn't just enter a room but fills it, carrying the scent of chaos and promise. Isla thought she could keep her world ordered, tucked safely between psychology textbooks and polite smiles, the sketches in her margins a secret even to herself. Then Finn, frontman to some underground London rock band, walked into her life; loud, unrepentant, a man with music in his bones and mischief in his smile. Their connection wasn't neat. It was reckless and raw. Each were the kind of fire others were too afraid to touch; but put together, they only burned brighter. Too much for everyone else; just right for each other. But can their wildfire passion survive the weight of their own fears?
