Love Me Like We Used To
They were inseparable - until they weren't. Now, they barely speak. Eighteen-year-old Amaria and Elias were childhood best friends. Late-night calls, secret handshakes, inside jokes - they knew each other better than anyone else. That is, until something happened in Year 13 that tore them apart. Whispers. Betrayal. Silence. Amaria is stepping into her first year of university-Year 14-with high hopes, a fresh start, and her best friend Zara by her side. She's ready to focus on her degree, leave the drama of secondary school behind, and grow into herself. But the past isn't done with her yet. Elias, the boy she ghosted after an emotional confession at the end of Year 13, is not only attending the same university-but he's in the same seminar group. What starts as stolen glances and awkward silences quickly reignites into tension, confusion, and the kind of chemistry that never really disappeared. Elias's older brother, Noah, is also on campus-more grounded and protective, offering occasional advice and support, especially when things between Elias and Amaria get messy. As Amaria balances her coursework, complicated emotions, and the realities of adulting, she's forced to reckon with the pain she left behind-and decide whether she's brave enough to stop running from it. Amaria's still guarded, still bruised by everything he didn't say back then. Elias? He acts like nothing happened, but there's guilt hiding behind his easy smile and that same look in his eyes whenever he's near her.

Elsa
"I'm a monster," he said looking away, pulling away from me like he always did. "You're a beautiful monster," I said with a smile.

I know what's out there, I know what goes bump in the night and I'm still not ready to fight it, but for him...I would do anything to keep him safe. Elsa is not an ordinary 16 year old girl. Not only is her family one of the greatest Hunters in the states, she too is also hiding another secret from her family. Something that makes her a little more different. Would Elsa risk her family for a guy? Would her secret destroy everyone she loves?Complete

I froze, my muscles turning to absolute stone as my lungs struggled to draw air. This was a nightmare. The walls I had spent months building to hide our tracks collapsed in a heartbeat. How did he find us? My body violently flinched when Elliott laughed. It was a deep, low baritone that vibrated through the floorboards of the plane and struck a chord of primal terror in my chest. My back collided with Levi's chest behind me as I stumbled back. It was over. The realisation made my blood turn to ice. He had found me and I was entirely at his mercy now.

"I haven't even started with you yet." He murmured, his voice dropping into a dark warning as he stepped out from behind the seat, closing the distance between us.
