It hurts when someone leaves your life for good. Someone who was once a big part of it. It's easy to pick yourself up, dust yourself off and start moving forward. Really it's just one foot in front of the other, everyday, all day. But it's not that easy to realise that deep down you're still broken because you never gave yourself the time to heal.

Moving on is not about trying to bury the past. It's about acceptance. 

A girl named Irisa and a boy named Henry learn this lesson the hard way. And this is their story. Of hardships, of friendships, of breaking and hurting and healing. Of learning to let the love in again.

Three Letters, Painful Meaning: BYE. [COMPLETED ✔] by ajiya_marie

[COMPLETED] Note: under editing! Love, memories, and pain. Those three words sometimes are the meaning of a relationship. The love you have for each other. The memories you make together and the pain you felt in any problems you encounter alone... or together. Pain in a relationship is unexpected, you don't know when will it come.. when will it happen, and what will be the cause. Sometimes, battles are the cause of pain in a relationship. In this world full of battles, Love is the most powerful weapon. But what if love makes you the weakest person on the battlefield, will you still fight? Will you continue? What if the one that you love left you in a world full of struggles and battles? Can you still face the battlefield and move forward? Can you still fight, without love?

Where Love Left Scars by CryBabyChapters

"We said goodbye for the sake of growing up. But growing up didn't mean moving on." At Rosebridge University, Mirabel and Caden meet again-not as lovers, but as best friends carrying unspoken history. They broke up in high school when Mirabel's grades slipped, and she blamed the distraction of love. Caden let her go, believing they'd find their way back someday. But now that "someday" is here, everything is more complicated than he ever imagined. She's stronger. He's quieter. And their hearts? Still speaking the language of "what ifs." But in between stolen glances, late-night talks, and buried memories, their story is far from over. Because sometimes, letting go was never the end. It was just the pause before everything changed.

Behind that Smile | Editing by writingcrazed

Growing up in a large, middle-class (if not lower) family had its challenges. More than I can account for actually. I had five older sisters and two older brothers. Throw me into the mix and that's a grand total of eight children living under one roof. If my mom hadn't stopped with yours truly, we would have definitely been able to form an entire soccer team with just our family alone. I can't recall much of my childhood and exactly how I interacted with each and every one of my siblings, but I can assure you that it was nowhere near a nice walk through the park. Even until this very day, I still stand by my statement. This is a story about a broken girl who fools the world with one simple action which requires less than ten muscles. Then along comes a boy who knows very well what really lies behind that smile. thank you soooo much to dirtypalette for the beautiful cover <3

The Bad Boy Saved Me by Pentatonix21

Do you ever wonder what life would be like if it were a movie? Or some sappy romance novel that you wish your life could be like but it's not? Sometimes you may even get to caught up in the fictional world that you don't realise it IS fictional.

Which may lead to anxiety, self-harm, low self esteem, and worst of all, losing the people you love. Life works in weird ways. Not just for you but for others too. Take Cassidy Rivers for example. Her life is far from perfect. No parents, over protective big brother, few friends, and Asher Norman, the bad boy who won't stop picking on her. Could life get any worse for Cassidy?
