A Flicker of Hope
°Aniya° Hope and faith-two useless words. I buried them years ago, when life proved they don't keep promises. My mom has cancer. I work myself to exhaustion just to afford a chance at saving her. My father? Gone. Always has been. And me? I've always been alone. But then he barged into my life. Made things feel lighter, easier, almost... okay. Until everything came crashing down again. Now I'm stuck doing the one thing I promised myself I'd never do. Hope.. ------------- °Darius° Hockey was my dream. Until it broke me. Now I'm stuck living out a choice my parents wanted, and I agreed to, even if it feels like chains. Then she showed up. A girl who doesn't ask for help, doesn't want it, but still gets it from me-because I can't seem to stop. Something about her pulls me in and keeps me close. I've always done the same thing: I follow. I observe. I conquer. But she's different. This time, the only thing I want- is her.
The Aid
Evie has dealt with her fair share of traumatic events, and she just wants to focus on college and her beloved paintbrushes and bass guitar. Harry is just beginning to deal with the most traumatic events of his life: cancer and the American healthcare system, respectively. The two fellow students meet on a bus when Harry notices a stranger following her, and he walks her home to make sure she's safe. Months later, when she learns about his diagnosis, Evie returns the favor in the only way that makes sense: by marrying him. It's meant to be just on paper. She's merely helping him out financially through her mom's health insurance plan. Neither of them expects this simple favor to come with growing worry that turns into a reluctant friendship, which then spirals completely out of control before either can stop it. But it does, and now they're dealing with it in their own unique ways: Evie ignores it, and Harry ignores her ignoring it. // TW: cancer, strong language, alcohol/underage drinking, mentions of substance abuse, mentions of physical abuse, sexual contentComplete
All I see ✔️
Alexis Adler has always trusted her eyes. As a forensic sketch artist, she's spent a decade turning fractured witness memories into faces the police can hunt. She's good at it, better than good, until the night she watches her own sister die through a rain-streaked window and can't draw the killer's face at all. Not because she didn't see him. Because what she saw doesn't add up. The detective assigned to the case is convinced Alexis is hiding something. Her therapist thinks grief is distorting her memory. And the sketch she finally produces, three days later, in a trembling, unsteady hand, matches no one on earth. Except it matches someone in her own past, a face she buried the same year she buried her mother. As Alexis digs into the one memory she can't trust, she uncovers a string of unsolved deaths stretching back fifteen years, each one witnessed by someone who saw the impossible and was told they imagined it. Now she has to decide whether to trust her own eyes, or accept that the thing she saw was never meant to be believed. Because in this town, the last thing you see is rarely the truth. It's just all you're allowed to remember. _________________________________________ [Completed] [Mature]Complete![Pucking Friendship (UNI Lions #6) [COMPLETED]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/376140121-256-k514631.jpg)
