If I Try (Lesbian Story) by Balueyes

My life in ruins, this is where I'm at currently. I was living a lie, lying to people and most importantly to myself. You can act straight all you want, you can try to convince yourself that, but no matter how hard you try. The truth is always revealed. What did I do? I stroked her face, and told her she was still beautiful, then I bent down and kissed her. One of those soft, yet deep, gut wrenching, I'll always love you, but I have to let you go, goodbye kisses. Then I rested my forehead on hers and closed my eyes. I saw the past that we had, all of the memories we had together, I took them in, I felt the feelings again, I processed them. Then I saw the dreams that we dreamed for our future, I saw all of our plans that we made, I felt them, I felt the pain of what would never be, and then I released it all. I didn't realize I was sobbing until I felt her hand graze over the tears. I opened my eyes, blinked away the tears I had left, and smiled. She returned my smile. We knew at that point that no matter what happened, we would be ok.............. This is my struggle, this is my journey. Join me for the ride, but make sure you wear your helmet.

Love Shouldn't Hurt (My Personal Experience With Emotional Abuse) by Aria_Cosmic

Change to disclaimer: I censored their name because they were getting death threats. THIS BOOK IS COMPLETE In my younger years, I accepted toxic manipulation and emotional abuse as normal and a sign of love. I've dealt with lying and manipulation all my life but never classified it as wrong since it all came from someone I loved: my father. I never fought back because I was raised to put trust in him because we were kin. A decade later, I come across Wattpad with a warm and loving community, and through mutual friends meet THEM. We then start dating on and off and then finally break up. Before we do break-up, they made me vow to never tell anyone what I had gone through and discovered about them. I said yes without hesitation because I was still madly in love with them and stupidly loyal; but as two years pass I realize I promised to not tell anyone about their true self so they could continue to do what they did to me and to silence me because they knew I still had feelings for them and was formidably loyal. I became damage control so they could continuously drag in new weak-minded people like me and make them go through the same pain and groom them to shower them with attention every second of the day and when they didn't; they made them feel as if they were wrong. They made their lovers feel like they were the bad guy and insignificant at the same time. In Present day, this still haunts me to the point I only get a few hours of sleep. My ex isn't here now and I feel I must share not only as a way to warn readers of people like them and how his definition of love is actually far from the truth, but as way of closure for myself.

Can you heal my wounds? by butterfly-224

‏ Sophia, senior year in high school who had a hard past that still affects her and her trust with others Meets Ruby at her friend Layla's party, Can she trust her and let her in? ••• I watched as her face change to the biggest smirk while reading. "You have to come and sit on my lap till the next time your turn comes" she said smiling. "W-What" I asked hoping that i heard wrong. "You have to sit on me till next game" she repeated the dare again. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ her warm body held my cold one so perfectly It made me forget about everything else in this moment, and for the first time in a while I felt safe, safe from everything in the world even my own mind, And for this time I allowed myself to be selfish by not thinking I was a burden and I let myself sleep in her embrace peacefully. ⚠️TW⚠️ Self harm (rare) I will put a TW before Eating disorder note: I think this story considers as slow burn. English is not my first language, so there will be a lot of mistakes. If there are any suggestions, please write it in the comment .

Leyfield Highschool series - Citrus AND Honey (R18+) by BrokenFontstories

(I might be in over my head here, but this is a new series I'm starting, and fair warning-it's going to be very sex-heavy.) (don't worry there will be lots of both straight and gay sex) Welcome to Leyfield High, my little slice of paradise. Think of your stereotypical high school from those cheesy 80s and 90s movies: mean girls, jocks, nerds, and all the "normal" people mashed together into one chaotic space. But trust me, there's more to this place than meets the eye. Things around here tend to get... interesting, and you'll soon see why. I'm Ashley EvenTree, your narrator, certified hottie, and guide to all the juicy, steamy drama. So, grab a seat and let's see just how wild life at Leyfield High can get, shall we? *Ashley tries to do a flip during cheerleader tryouts, only to faceplant spectacularly into the grass, his skirt flipping up and giving the pep squad an eyeful-a full-blown panty shot.* "WAIT, WAIT, WAIT! Let's not go that far back," Ashley interrupts, waving a perfectly manicured hand. "That was sophomore year, and honestly, the trauma is still fresh. Let's skip the awkward and start somewhere steamy, shall we?"

Crushed Underneath the Surface by Michelle_90210

For years, I've been writing in silence, creating worlds, characters, and stories that lived only in the margins of my notebooks and tucked-away folders on my computer. Writing has always been my escape, something I've done for myself-a way to step out of reality for a moment and breathe through the lives of the people I've imagined. I've written and rewritten countless stories, always hesitant to share them, never quite confident enough to let anyone else peek into the depths of my mind. It's always felt like just a hobby, something personal, something safe. But deep down, I've carried a quiet dream of becoming a writer, even though it felt a little foolish to hope for something so big. Now, after pouring myself into this story for what feels like a lifetime, I've finally done it-I've uploaded all my chapters to Wattpad, sharing this piece of me with the world. I know I still have so much to learn, and I'm always striving to get better, but I would truly appreciate any feedback-good, constructive criticism that can help me grow. This is just the beginning, but it feels like a huge step forward. Thank you for taking a chance on this book. Whatever brought you here, whether it was curiosity, a recommendation, or just a moment of wandering, I am truly grateful.

Her Rockstar (gxg) by summerbratz

"What do you want?" I mentally roll my eyes. "Can I not talk to my favorite girl?" She smiles walking dangerously close to me. Standing up from my chair I decide to move away from her to put some distance between us. "No you cannot talk to me, not anymore at least." I say "Oh come on now, you always like being close and now you're moving away?" She teased while backing me up against my desk. Thinking back to earlier today, I would have let her get her way and kiss me, so what changed? "Fuck it, just kiss me one last time." I finally give in. ☽｡⋆ After having to leave her home town behind due to an accident with her best friend, Ada Ashley is scared to get close to anyone again. She had to leave behind her family and friends to start over, it's always scary but she knows she has to do this. She just hopes she can even make a single friend. Everyone in their right mind knows who Raya Thatcher is, rising punk rock star hard to miss her even when she's just walking down the street. Due to a security breach, Raya has to fire her manager and is on the hunt for someone who can live up to that job. What will happen when Raya and Ada meet in a bar? Will Raya finally be able to find a manager or maybe even more?
