[Book 2 of the Mia Series] Seven years have passed since the girls graduated high school together. This story begins as Cambria does her best to balance different aspects of her life the moment she decided to pursue her dream, while Mia is the ever-supporting partner and now works two jobs to support their career choices, bills, and current home life. How well will these two handle the stress that occurs with being an adult? Will they find time for each other even with busy schedules? Are they going to be able to further their careers, get married, or have kids? Can Cambria and Mia's love for one another rise above whatever may come their way? _____________________________________________ This story is a sequel, but I have written it in a way that allows for it to stand alone. Nevertheless, I still recommend that you read 'Mia' first before reading 'Bri' to understand this book better. Either way, the decision is entirely up to you. Please note that none of the photos I've used for the characters in chapter one are mine; they belong to their rightful owners. I only used them as a means to show you how I feel they should look like. But, of course, you are free to imagine the characters as you see fit. All that matters, in the end, is to enjoy the story! =) ⚠️ Warning: ⚠️ This story contains strong language, possible trigger moments, lesbian material, and mature sexual content.

Ice To Meet You by mrigankac

"What else do you want me to say, Mia?" "Did you mean it?" There is a pause and I just-I feel exhausted, the kind that 12 hours of sleep hasn't been able to fix. "Hannah said I don't deserve to be loved, is that how you feel too?" She might not have said it in as many words but that's exactly what she meant. He takes my hand in his and kisses it. "Between the both of us-it's I who doesn't deserve to be loved." "Too bad you already are." "Please stop saying it!" he may not have screamed the words at me but he might as well have. "You think I am lying?" He holds my face with both his hands and looks deep in my eyes. "Mia, I will say this for the last time. I don't do love. I don't want to be loved by anyone and I will never fall in love with anyone ever. If you love me, keep that love to yourself. Please." "Why?" "This is the deal, Mia. Take it or leave it. I will give you my loyalty and my time but I will not have you telling me you love me ever again. I don't believe in love and I can't give you love. Can you live with that?" "What if I can't?"

In Love With Blindfolds On by cjacks1124

I gave the best of myself to someone who didn't have anything to lose. I didn't know how to avoid my lover's toxic and abusive flames. My lover's twisted words were like a maze inside of my head that I couldn't escape. Sadly, my lover's actions hypnotized my thoughts and paralyzed my thinking. I learned the hard way that love isn't leaning in for a kiss, and a fist meets you halfway. Love isn't being a punching bag because someone decided they wanted to beat on you today. Love isn't saying I love you just because someone wants to keep you to themselves. I tried to be there for my lover, but I learned it is impossible to fix the broken pieces when the glass has shattered. There will always be pieces that are not repairable. However, I kept going right back to the person who I needed to walk away from. I was afraid, and I wasn't brave enough to wake up from this nightmare! I made the choice to suffer when life is meant to be lived and enjoyed. Will I find the courage to know my worth and know that I deserve better than the distasteful lies that are whispered in my ears? Will I have the strength to fight my insecurities? Will, I set myself free, or will I let my love be the death of me?
