Can anyone tell me the definition of heartbreak?
No? No? No? I thought so. So tell me this, why does everyone act like they know everything about love and heartbreaks when they have never experienced it themselves? Well, I guess it's human nature, wanting to know something so badly you make up a definition for it. Now I probably sound like a love expert, but I've never been in love, hence I've never experienced heartbreak.
Love... Love doesn't exist. Love is a choice, not a feeling. Love is an arrangement that puts two people together who might work well together, but who might also be completely different. That's the way it was for my parents. Their definition of love was to be married to each other but to have open relations with everyone that walked on our street. Some childhood.
Everyone's definition of love is different. Mine is it doesn't exist. Cynical? I know.
That is... until I met River Caprino.

broken Love By Zero
The hardest thing to do is get over a love that breaks you so deeply but was so true that you don't think it could be another lie but it is.

Unlock me, Dear Key! "A story of an Unending Love"
Loving are part of our existence in this world 'cause we have an ability to fall, admire and love someone we met in our lives. However the crazy thing is we exceeded on our limitations cause we thought it's okay to love that way but unfortunately that's not right and fair to continually do it. There are so many expectations that made us so much dissapointed ; when we're hoping that someone that we really love will like and love us back one day. Alongside the insane decision someone could take is to believe that there's hope and Miracle that the one we chose to love will acknowledge and choose us the way we do at last. In addition, We desperately defined who will be the key on the doors of hearts but doing this thing will deceively cause so much pain in the end. Thus, the heart breaking part is when we realized that the one we're waiting to open our heart already found the right door that fits his /her keys while we are on the other side still stuck on the phase of illusion.Complete
In A Day Or Two
They say love is patient, love is kind. But what they don't tell you is that love can also be devastating, merciless, and painfully fleeting. Francis Brooks thought he knew the meaning of love-until Xianon Pearson walked into his life. In the short time they spent together, she became his world: the warmth in his mornings, the calm in his chaos, the reason his heart dared to hope. She was his laughter on the rainiest days, the softness in a world that often felt harsh, and the spark that made every ordinary moment extraordinary. But Xianon was fragile in ways Francis could never fully protect her from. She carried secrets, illnesses, and burdens that threatened to pull them apart, no matter how tightly he held on. Every promise between them-every whispered "in a day or two"-was meant to be a lifeline, a hope that tomorrow would be brighter, that they could survive the storms life threw at them. Yet life has a cruel way of testing love. Sometimes, the people we cherish most slip through our fingers despite our best efforts, leaving only memories and a heartache that refuses to fade. And sometimes, love demands a choice: to let go, or to fight even when the odds are stacked against you. This is a story of love that burns fiercely, heartbreak that cuts painfully, and the resilience of a heart that refuses to surrender. It is about waiting when the one you love is gone, surviving when grief threatens to consume you, and finding the courage to keep living-even when tomorrow is uncertain. Because sometimes, it only takes a day... or even just a day or two... to change everything, to leave a mark that lasts forever, and to teach us that love, in all its joy and pain, is always worth the fight.Complete
Art of Letting Go
falling in love is like falling in an endless pit, you dared to jump in the name of risking everything, you gave your all, and depend to the love you believed was there, and somehow, it is the time where a cold fragmented ground of isolation started to form beneath the so called endless pit, forming on the sacrifices you gave, the care you offer, the light you shine to the person you love. now the only thing that keeps you floating is him, keeping the gravity away from you, the gravity that held you to the feeling of falling deeper to the feeling of an imaginary float. then one day, you lost him, you lost the only thing that is holding you to place, without the gravity you fear. your back hit the ground, your heart shattered in a million pieces and punctured your lungs that you couldn't breathe, the gravity is too much that you can't move or stand, you stayed there and let it devour you, you became miserable, you let the sadness eat your rotten flesh until youre a forgotten fossils of a skeleton of a sunken city. -Remy DeteraComplete
Playing A Dangerous Game
"That's not something you mess around with." I say to her and she just rolled her eyes. "It's not like he's going to fall for it anyway." She looked at her baby pink nails. "Then why do you-" "Because," She snapped looking away from her nails to me. "He needs to know how it feels to fall in love and then have your heart ripped out of your chest and just feel like you're dying inside." She clenched her fingers into a fist. "Plus you don't believe in love anyway so it should be a piece of cake to keep your end unattached." "Yeah whatever." Monica Roth wasn't exactly the new girl but she wasn't exactly popular either. Her best friend Destiny Hamilton was a cheerleader but wasn't exactly in on the it crowd. They both seemed to keep to each other until one day the head cheerleader Madison Valentine comes up to Monica asking her a favor. A favor to play a game with the school's newest hottie. Derek Reid. Derek used to believe in love, it's what he lived and breathe for. Until he watched his mother become a slut because of it. The one thing he thought was so beautiful and the cure all to mans problems no longer exist. He became cold and heartless to anyone who didn't deem themselves worthy in his eyes. He played games with girls hearts, cause them to fall in love and literally break their hearts when he doesn't return the affection. He's just that type of guy. What makes Monica stand out from anyone else was the fact she's never been in love. She didn't believe in it, her parents never fell in love. She lives with her mom during the week and her father every now and then. It just something she's never witnessed so she didn't believe in it, to her it was just a myth. So when she gets asked to play the game of love with Derek she literally can't say no.Complete
The Unconventional
Love. Such an overused and underestimated word that no one really knows. I don't really believe in love. Can you really love someone so much that it hurts. Can you love someone to the point that you can't think of anyone else. At least I didn't believe it. I didn't know it until I experienced it. I had been missing out. To love someone so hard that your ribs ache having to cage in such a heart beat. You literally can't think of anything or anyone else. You're even smiling long after he leaves. Everything you do or see or hear reminds you of him. Like I say I didn't believe it. I know now that it exists but I also know that it comes to a painful end. Isn't that the saying all good things come to an end. This is the love story of Nina and Chaz. "To not letting the world and it's people keep us from living!" "And to jumping off the bridge."Complete
Two Unfound Love
I believe that each of us deserves a chance at love. And I know it sounds silly that there's someone out there for everyone but I believe in love. Now I know some say there's no such thing as true love, that it all ends in heartbreak and pain, but I think that's the beauty of it. To have something so perfect for such a short while, and then for it to disappear into nothing. It's an endless loop, never-ending, always on the move. You never know where it will take you. That's the thing about love, it's so beautiful and mysterious and magical. I believe we all deserve a chance at love because we deserve something magical. And for me, my magic started at a simple Ice Rink one cold night. Because your love is so whole, my missing pieces appear. Because your touch carries such passion, what was scarred becomes soft once more. Because you are steady and patient, my open wounds have time to seal and vanish. Perhaps that is why they say love is such magic, this gift from the universe, this sweet addition to the man I was born to find. For with my twin soul, the only other born in the same flame as I, we are able to bathe one other in warmth and light as easily as we breather, immune and oblivious to darkness. This story has mature parts. The mature parts have an asterisk.Complete
