The Preacher's Girl

What Comes After Quiet
A companion to The Quiet Between Us Eli Hayes has always known how to live quietly-how to survive the sharp edges of high school, how to disappear into the corners of classrooms, how to bury his heart beneath poems no one else reads. But everything changed the day he stood his ground... and found that he wasn't alone. Now, after winter break, Eli returns to school not as the invisible boy, but as the one who spoke up. The one who was hurt. The one who kissed a boy and didn't look away. Navigating the halls is different now. There are eyes that linger. Whispers that follow. But there are also new voices-brave, kind ones-like the girl who stood in front of him when he needed it most. Eli begins to build tentative friendships, tiny bridges toward a world he never believed he could belong to. At home, his world remains divided. And in the quiet refuge of August's arms, love still blooms-warm, real, and no longer hidden. But as their relationship stretches into the open, the question looms: what happens when love is no longer a secret, but a stand? Tender, honest, and achingly real, What Comes After Quiet is a story about learning to speak, choosing to stay, and discovering that strength doesn't mean going it alone.Complete![Struggles and Hormones [DISCONTINUED/GAVE UP]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/329709603-256-k862887.jpg)

I Liked Blue Better
[OLD] [NOT MEANT TO ROMANTICIZE DEPRESSION OR MENTAL ILLNESS. SIMPLY A TROPE.] Tom isn't your average teen. But then again, what makes a teen average? His family is broken, his mental health is slowly declining, and he's faced questioning his sexuality. Often left to sit in his bed on his phone most of the day, his reasons to live were slowly declining. Tom thought it was better this way. It was better to not disturb anyone, to wear the same clothes over and over, and to stay boring. All, of course, until Tom met him. Updates every Friday. Maybe more days if I'm not busy or I'm motivated to do so. ⚠️ TW ⚠️ -boyxboy (shouldn't be a warning smh) -suicidal thoughts -self harm (cutting, etc) -no smut, probably fluff though -throwing up I didn't take the photo in the cover. I only added the text. This story does have a happy ending, because I also realized how much of an impact reading angst stories without one has on me. I also just want it to end well, and you probably do as well. Good luck reading, and thank you in advance.Complete

READ FULL BEFORE STARTING THE STORY: TW: This book is written lightly, but has also some really serious themes that I want you to know about before reading. It talks about abuse and there are some scenes where a character is having a panic attack. If this is too close for you and you don't feel comfortable reading things like that then It might be best to not start reading /genuine <3 I want you to know before reading that this is a book with a good ending! I'm saying this because I know how devastating it is for some people after reading a story all night. If you've made it this far, thank you for reading! Much hugs to everyone:)Complete
No More Wasting Time
[BOOK 2] Diego Santiago was not your average teenager. He had a loving mother, a great best friend, a beautiful friend, an ex-boyfriend that gave him a traumatic experience, a soon-to-be stepbrother that helped along in that traumatic experience, a friend turned enemy, and finally, a messy slight crush. It's a handful. He was no longer a nobody but somebody with a bad name and a target on his head. He messed with the school's king, and he needed to face the consequences, or so they say and believe. Despite all these things that are making his life one big roller coaster, he still wants one thing in life, for his mother and friends to be happy. Caden Mitchell had a hectic life of his own as well. He was the enemy at first and is trying his best to become a true brother and a true lover. He knew he needed to change, but his old habits keep crawling back. He needed to learn and grow as a person, and for the sake of his mental health, he needed to change fast. Caden was on a mission, a mission to get back his soon-to-be stepbrother and his lover that meant more to him than he could express in words. He was growing desperate and was ready to do just about anything. Even if that meant leaving behind Victor, who he once saw was the closest thing to a brother he'd ever get.Complete
