A story in which one girl attempts to find herself and control her emotions by moving across the country to live with her estranged father.
Reyna Williams was never the popular girl. She wasn't the smartest. She wasn't the prettiest. But she had all the qualities that could very well make her one of the popular girls. That is until her mother dies. With the onset of her mother's death, Reyna retreats into herself, hiding her emotions and slowly crumbling to pieces. When she is forced to move two thousand miles away, Reyna's facade begins to break down even more, until she's threatening to fall apart or be buried alive.
That is until she meets Noah Adams who saves her, even if she doesn't want to be saved.

Can I Die Now?
Noah Ardyn is only eleven - too young to understand why people leave, too old to believe that love can save anyone. His father vanished before his first birthday, and his mother became his entire world - a fragile light in an ever-darkening sky. For a while, that was enough. Until the day the world began to decay. A new virus swept across the earth, twisting everything it touched - minds, bodies, and hearts. The streets grew silent. The air grew colder. And one by one, everyone Noah loved began to disappear, leaving him with only echoes of their voices and memories that refused to fade. But the virus wasn't the only thing eating away at humanity. It was grief. It was fear. It was the unbearable weight of surviving. Noah doesn't want revenge. He doesn't want to be saved. He just wants it all to stop - the pain that burns through his soul, the loneliness that tears him apart from the inside, the cruel silence that answers every time he calls for help. And so, as the world collapses around him, he whispers the only words that still make sense: "Can I die now?" Can I Die Now? is not a story about giving up. It's a story about what happens when a heart feels too much - and the quiet, shattered beauty that exists in pain itself.

Don't Save Me, Stay | Paige Bueckers
Arianna Torres is used to surviving alone. It's not that she prefers isolation-it's that it's safer. After all, people leave. People hurt. And no one sticks around when they see the real her: the trauma, the mood swings, the scars from growing up with a drug-addicted father and a mother who overdosed in the bathroom while Arianna was the one to find her. Diagnosed with BPD and PTSD, Arianna is constantly balancing between craving love and being terrified of it. She plays for UConn now, but she's not there to make friends-she's there to earn her future and keep everyone at arm's length. Until she breaks. After an intense away game triggers a panic attack followed by a near-complete shutdown, Arianna is put on temporary leave and forced into a recovery plan that includes one thing she never asked for: support. And the one assigned to check in on her, stay with her, and-God forbid-care about her? Paige Bueckers. The golden girl of college basketball. Charismatic, soft-spoken, patient. Everything Arianna isn't. What starts as reluctant forced proximity becomes something far more complex. Paige doesn't try to fix her. She just... stays. She doesn't ask for Arianna's secrets. She simply offers warm silences, movie nights, and shared playlists. The closer they get, the more Arianna starts to crack-not in a bad way, but in the kind of way that feels like healing. Like maybe being seen doesn't have to hurt. Maybe touch doesn't have to burn. Maybe someone can stay. But falling for someone when you're still learning how to exist is dangerous. Arianna's self-sabotage runs deep. Her fear of abandonment is a wildfire. And Paige, despite her calm, carries her own quiet grief-injuries, pressure, and the weight of being everyone's hope. As they navigate late nights and raw confessions, tangled blankets and bruised hearts, Arianna must face the hardest truth of all: What if love isn't about being saved, but about letting someone stay even when you're at your worst?Complete

Does losing your parents, one way or another, count? Because that is what Amna has been through. She lost her father to death and her mother to life.

Before She Even Knows
''There is only one thing crossing my mind right now. If he hates me so much, then why the hell is he kissing me back?'' ----------------------- Emma White has always been kind of a loner. Her mother died giving birth to her and her father never really cared, always working in his successful company. That's why she decides to go to a college away from home, something she's been dreaming of since she can remember. However, what happens when at her very first day on campus, she crosses path with Noah Allen? He is rich, popular, cold, rude and a player just to start with. No surprise she calls him Mr. Grumpy. What is driving her insane though is that he's only too cold when it comes to her. After some not so pleasant moments and lots of glares, she tells herself that the best is to stay away from him, but it won't be that easy. After a disastrous kiss and hidden jealousy, she finds herself deeply involved into what is this frustrating boy. Add to that the fact that he is her roommates' childhood best friend and you can see drama from miles away. Noah claims to hate her ever since they met, and he doesn't mean her first day of college. He remembers her just fine from a couple of years ago and all the feelings are back. He knows she doesn't remember him and he'll use this as his leverage to do what he has to do. It's what he promised his father and himself, even if it means he has to pretend to care for her. All he cares is his family business. At least it's what he tells himself, until the feelings start getting too mixed and he ends up thinking of her more than he should. Maybe it's not all about business after all. He knows their history started before she even knows, what he didn't expect was for her to be so different from what he has always believed.Complete
