Today I'm turning my fiction to reality. ❣️•••❣️ Excerpt: Just as I was about to seek shelter under some building's roof, the tires of a car come to a halt, I wonder who might pity the lonely girl walking in the rain.

"The Social Butterfly & The Silent Heart" (SkyNani ff)
"Sky was everything Nani wasn't-charming, loud, and adored by everyone. Nani had spent most of his university life alone, watching people come and go, never truly belonging. But when fate pulls him into Sky's world-a world of laughter, friendships, and chaotic energy-he finds himself experiencing something new: belonging. And then, something even scarier: love. He never meant to fall. He never meant to care this much. But when Sky starts dating someone else, Nani realizes the hardest thing about love isn't falling-it's staying silent when it's already too late." --- This is my first time writing a story, and English is not my first language, so I apologize in advance for any grammar or spelling mistakes.

Constructive criticism is also appreciated, as it will help me grow as a writer and make the story even better. Thank you for reading, and I hope you enjoy the journey!😊Complete

''So, do you wanna go back to my place, eat some pizza, watch a Disney movie and maybe fall hopelessly in love?'' I laugh and nod. Blake's whole face lights up and he leans in brushing a strand of hair away from my eyes before his lips crashed down on mine and we were kissing. His lips come away from mine and he smiles at me, rubbing his lips together. ''You taste like strawberry'' He murmurs in my ear. 𝐃𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈 𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐧𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭?

Firefly
Book 1 of The Fly Series . . . Ten years ago, Elena Summer's life crashed on a rain-slick road. Her mother didn't make it out, nor did her memories. Now, she's coming back to Cadford, the town her family fled overnight, the one that feels too familiar for a place she can't remember. Everyone here seems to know her story. Everyone but her. Then there's Justin Castor, Cadford's most notorious enigma. Beautiful. Brilliant. Brutal. He doesn't believe in redemption, and she doesn't believe in coincidences. Yet somehow, their paths keep colliding like fate has unfinished business. As fragments of Elena's past start resurfacing, she begins to realize the truth isn't lost, it's just been buried. And Justin might be the only one who knows why. In Cadford, every story bleeds into a secret. Every mystery untangles the past. But the past is never meant to be revisited. A dark, slow-burning story about love, loss, rage, and the monsters that grief can create. Welcome to the world of Firefly! 𓆤 Trigger Warnings: PTSD | Trauma | Abusive Language | Violence This story has a closed door sceneComplete
