Raven Winterton had forgotten the meaning of the word 'happy'. Hours and hours of searching up the definition in her college dormitory and practicing a believable smile in the mirror didn't hold a candle to someone showing her what she had lost.
Grey Devlin, with a name like Grey, seemed to be the last person to know what it was like to be happy. Every day, there would be laughter from the dormitory next to his, but the girl he always saw emerge from the room would never laugh, never smile.
Two opposite personalities, with two opposite backgrounds, the only connection seeming to be the wall in between their two rooms.

Worse for Love- Book #3 in the WF Series
Love. A word that never made sense to Ivy Blanchard. Yes, she helps all of her friends with every relationship because she wants to see them happy, but she never really believed in the exaggerated picture of what "love" is. Trusting someone completely by opening up to them has never really amused her, and maybe that's because of what she went through as a little girl. When one day, she gets drunk and calls Kai Hale; one of her cousin's friends, to come and get her, it escalates into a fake relationship that neither of them expected. To convince her friend that she doesn't need help finding love, she decides to create a fake relationship with Kai. Although, the lie only begins to lead into other things that neither one of them realized or were prepared for. Kai is the exact opposite of Ivy. Smiling is second nature to him, and love is definitely something he's always believed in, he just doesn't have enough time for it with his complicated schedule. When Ivy and him begin getting close though, he realizes there definitely is something happening, but convincing Ivy that it's okay to let someone in is harder than he thought it would be. Will he actually get over the wall she's built since she could remember?Complete
Because of you
She was a girl who never knew love-never truly felt happiness. Then came the sunshine, warm and radiant, and for the first time, her world began to bloom. But one mistake... and everything changed. The girl who never dared to dream began to daydream. She started hoping. Expecting. Believing. But what if those dreams were illusions? What if the very thing that brought her joy ends up being the reason she breaks? Will she ever find real happiness? Will she ever learn to love herself, without needing someone else to show her how? The sunshine lit up her life-but in its fading, it left a shadow. A stain on her heart. All because of her.Complete
All Good Things {h.s.}
In the beginning, it all felt so effortless, like we were simply meant to be. His smile, that infectious grin that made the world feel lighter, could melt any wall I built around myself. The way he looked at me, like I was the only person in the room, the only one who mattered. No matter how much Niall and Allison teased us, there was never any doubt, he was my everything, and I was his. Every touch, every word, every moment with him felt like a promise of forever. And for a time, I believed it. I truly did. Now, I wish I could go back. Back to when it felt like the universe was on our side, and nothing could tear us apart. Would it feel the same, knowing what I know now? Knowing how fragile everything truly is? Would I hold him tighter, love him harder? Or would I spare him the pain that looms ahead? I can't stop what's coming. But even knowing that, even with the inevitable heartache, one thing is clear: I will love him. I will love him with everything I have, for as long as I have. And maybe that's enough. Maybe that's all I can give him in the end. - Hope you enjoy! This has been cross posted to Ao3!
