I've been in love with Noah Matthews for as long as I can remember.
He's my best friend, neighbour and all round hottie.
I can't remember a time that I didn't want him to be mine.
But every time I think we might be getting somewhere my elder sister Lisa comes along and ruins it all.
She's the beautiful sister, the one that gets all the boys and has all the friends. I'm the quiet one, the one that no one thinks to look twice at once they see her.
Now I don't stand a chance with him, I'm firmly in the friend zone and there's no getting out of it...is there?

Always Been You
Some people grow up with childhood friends. I grew up with Noah Lancaster. Two years without Noah by my side, and I thought I'd changed. I'd grown into my own person, no longer the girl who needed protecting. But stepping into the prestigious halls of St. James proved I was wrong. Surrounded by strangers who make it painfully clear I don't belong to their world, it's all too easy to fall back into old patterns. And Noah... like the constant he's always been, pulls me back into his orbit. Only he's not the same boy I remember. He's sharper now. More calculated. More intense. There's something in him I can't quite name, a quiet shift in the air around him, like the moment before a storm breaks. They say university is where you find yourself. I never thought I'd find myself in the middle of something I couldn't walk away from... or explain to the police.

The stars flickered above us. "I like you, Noella," Mason said suddenly, voice low, careful. My heart stuttered. "I like you so much." I swallowed hard. "There's... there's a difference between a want and a need." He turned his head, eyes narrowing slightly. "What do you mean?" "People say they want someone," I whispered, staring up at the stars. "But a want is fleeting. Temporary. A craving. A need is something you can't live without. And I don't know which one I am to you, Mason. I don't know if I want to be anyone's need." Silence stretched. My chest tightened. Then he rolled onto his side, facing me fully. His voice was steady. "I love you, princess." ____ She was invisible. He was everyone's favorite. Noella Collins has spent her life hiding in plain sight-quiet, overlooked, and trapped in the noise of her own thoughts. Mason Montgomery? He's the golden boy with the kind of smile that makes the world stop spinning. They were never supposed to cross paths. But when his eyes find hers, something shifts. For the first time, she isn't just there-she's seen. The invisible girl. The golden boy. One look-and everything changes. Noella never believed in love stories. Mason never expected to fall for one. She's quiet storms and late-night thoughts. He's sunlight and easy laughter. And when their worlds collide, It isn't chaos- It's everything love was meant to be. ____ Best rankings: #1 unpopular (22/12/2025) #1 mentalproblems (24/12/2025) #9 hotboys (21/12/2025) #2 therapy (25/12/2025) #9 selflove (24/12/2025) #3 teenlove (28/12/2025) #1 healing (01/01/2026)

Icarus
Summary: This story is about an incredible unique autistic girl and her two equally incredible best friends. Will they ever get out of the friend zone? A little taste of the story: Is it a sin to love someone too much? To say I miss her is an understatement. I can't eat. Can't sleep. Can't function. She is constantly on my mind as she dwelled herself deep inside my heart. My heart aches for her. Every time I think of her, I smile but my heart hurts like hell because she lives far away. Too far. Sometimes all I can do is lie in bed and hope to fall asleep before I fall apart. Is it wrong to love someone this deeply at such an early age? I have inappropriate thoughts about her...about us. Not, as we are presently but grown up as adults. I'm jealous of my twin brother because he wants to take her from me. I can't let go of what's making me sad because its also the only thing that makes me happy. Her. I cannot lose her, because if I do, I will lose my best friend, my smile, my heart, my soul mate, my everything. If it is a sin, I don't think I want to be forgiven because I truly believe that God has sent her into my life to give me something to fight for, to show me there is love in this world, to give me hope and to bring me joy. All the proof I need in God is in her. She is a gift from heaven." ⚠️WARNING ⚠️ * language *drugs & alcohol * violence *assault & rape *nudity & sexComplete
On thin ice
Life is full of risks, mistakes, lies, love, hurt, and moments where we feel out of control. "We shouldn't do this," he whispers as his lips brush against mine. At first, I felt hesitant, but his touch made my doubts disappear. Now, all I want is to eliminate the space between us. "Do you want to stop?" I ask,looking down at me before kissing me softly on the lips. His thumb rubs my cheek, and he kisses me again, slowly and thoughtfully, as if he's considering his answer. He gently sucks on my bottom lip before pulling away. "I can't," he says before pulling me into another kiss.Complete
