"You were worried about me, Specs?" He smirked. "No, Tyler. I hoped that someone cut up your corpse and fed it to paranas. Obviously I was, you idiot! I'm a doctor. Worrying about people is kind of programmed into my system. It's a curse if you ask me," I surprised myself a lot more than I thought was possible with my answer. And what did he do? Laugh! He fucking laughed! Not full on rolling- on- the- floor laughter but a laugh nonetheless. "This isn't funny, Tyler." "It kind of is. Almost a month ago, I would've sworn that you hated me. Be careful, Specs," he squinted down at me, "or you might actually sound as if you like me." I rolled my eyes. "Don't flatter yourself. I was concerned. Don't confuse that with affection. It's two very, very different things." *** When you think that all is not lost in the world. That not all men are pricks and that not all sushi is bad. When you think that there is a light, no matter how dim, at the end of the tunnel. When you think that life isn't the ruthless bitch you've always thought it was... It turns around and bites you in the ass. When you think that the past will always and forever remain where it should be... It comes at you from every direction. Like a violent tsunami destroying everything...and everyone in it's path. Can you change what happened? I wish. Can you stop what's going to happen? God! I really hope so.Complete
Azalea
Azalea has always believed she could survive anything until the night her world cracked apart. Alone, in a place that smelled of steel and forgotten dreams, every shadow reminded her of loss, every echo of her past threatened to consume her. Her only tether to reality is the memory of Sally, her friend, whose laughter once lit the darkness, whose heart beats secretly for Ren-the same dangerous, magnetic Ren. Azalea can't stop noticing. Handsome, silent, and thrillingly unpredictable, he steps into her life like a storm she never asked for. Gloves, fleeting touches, whispered secrets, stolen glances, each encounter twists their fates tighter, drawing them into a dance where desire flirts with peril, and trust is as fragile as glass. Azalea wonders if she can survive not just the shadows of her own trauma, but the collisions of love, loyalty, and temptation that threaten to shatter everything she holds. Welcome to Azalea's story, where every touch is a secret, and every secret has a cost.

The Love That Haunts
The love you ruin doesn't just fade, it becomes the anchor of your entire life, dragging you under with every passing year. For Ethan, adult life is a landscape of self-inflicted misery, defined by the crippling silence of his anxiety and the knowledge that he deliberately destroyed the one perfect thing he ever held. It all started at a freezing, anonymous church camp where sixteen-year-old Ethan fell instantly and devastatingly in love with Brooklyn. Their connection was a blinding sanctuary, a fierce, protective bubble of first love that was utterly, beautifully real. But the purity of that love couldn't withstand the pressure of Ethan's own darkness. Beneath the surface of their perfect union, jealousy and agonizing insecurity curdled every promise. Ethan didn't just love Brooklyn; he tried to possess her. He built their world on manipulation, empty promises, and a suffocating need for control, until the foundations of their fierce love finally gave way. Years later, Ethan is tormented by the ghost of the man he was and the indelible scars he left on the only person who ever truly saw him. He knows there is no forgiveness for the way he drove Brooklyn away, yet he is bound by the desperate, futile hope that he could somehow go back to that snow filled night. The Love That Haunts is a raw, emotional reckoning with the consequences of self-sabotage. Can a man defined by the ruin he caused ever truly heal, or is he destined to be haunted forever by the precious love he violently broke?Complete

Camp Where The Hell Are We? | ✓
Completed. ☼ " Her denial, that was like a dam holding back a flood of feeling, of sweet relief for desperate soil, holding back a flood it stood no chance against, as yet another crack formed with a strong wave that already knew it had won. On the other side Marley stood, watching her dam's inevitable, impending destruction - fearing, knowing, that quenching her aching thirst would be synonymous with drowning, would be synonymous with coming up for air, would be synonymous with surrendering to a force of nature that was beautiful in all its calm, but terrifying in all its chaos. He absentmindedly tucked a loose flyaway behind her ear. Right then. Another crack in her last line of defence. Another rolling back of a wave, gaining strength, beating against the tired concrete. Another overflow rolling above the wall, droplets racing to sink into her every vulnerable place. Another enigma - still being afraid, while watching the water, and feeling the ache " ☼ Praise for 'Camp Where The Hell Are We?'
