Don't Fall Not Yet by ScarlettMoon25

Moving from Mexico to the wealthy, perfect suburbs of New York, María Hernandez's plan was simple: finish high school, keep her head down, and blend into the background. That plan lasted until she met Marcus Whitmore. Marcus is the town's golden boy-the star quarterback, popular, and untouchable. But the easy smile is a lie. His eyes hold a constant, dangerous storm, his home is full of secrets, and he has sworn off feeling anything real for anyone. The moment their worlds collide, they don't just fall; they break open. María is the calm he never knew he needed, and he's the dangerous chaos she should have run from the second she saw him. This is Don't Fall, Not Yet. Told in dual POV, this story is about the fight for identity, the ugly price of loyalty, and the devastating violence of secrets. It's about the impossible choice between protecting the people you love... and destroying them completely. Mature Audience Warning: 18+ Although María and Marcus's journey begins in high school, it will follow them into adulthood. Expect explicit content, strong language, messy emotions, and raw moments that don't shy away from the real challenges of growing up. I'm doing my best to reflect the richness and challenges of both Mexican and Anglo-American Elite experiences with honesty and care. If I ever miss the mark, please (gently) let me know-I'm always open to learning and doing better. Please read, share, vote, follow, and leave a comment. I'd love to hear your thoughts as you join María and Marcus on this unforgettable journey. © Scarlett Moon, 2025 This is a work of fiction. All rights reserved.

A Path That's Right for Me by The_Musician

"I've had to second guess myself a lot over the years. I've had to put up walls. I've had to run away and push things down in order to keep others from hurting me. But...this, right now, is something I've never been more certain of." ~~~ Following another brutal fight with Rachel and Jensen's unexpected confession, Roman finds himself stuck at a fork in the road. Years worth of abuse and neglect have cultivated into a broken sense of worth, leaving him unsure of how long it'll take to move past his greatest hurdles. And when a familiar face from his past reappears to cause trouble, the future he was working toward feels out of reach. With the stakes being at their highest, with more than just his heart on the line, Roman has to decide what type of change he has to make next. He has to find the path that's right for him. [Book Two in the " Me" Series]
