I fell in love with someone I really shouldn't have. It was a wild, fervent, passionate, movie-type of love, but it was also harmful and selfish. But these types of loves are the ones that we love to read about; it's the reason so many movies like this exist. They're messy and complicated and they toy with everything we ever thought we believed in, but at the end of the day we crave the feeling that that kind of love brings us. It's the kind of love that brings you to your knees, that makes you question your entire belief system, but most of all it makes you wonder what you'd do without it now that you have it. You'd go to any and all ends to make it last as long as possible. You even say the cursed word 'forever' just to give yourself some hope. I knew from the beginning I wasn't supposed to love him, but at eighteen, every fiber of my being told me to be with him, no matter the consequence. So we fought on, us against the world, partly because we were in our own little world, and no one could tell me how I could feel. It was liberating, it was scary, it was damning, but it was love. And nothing could be so equally painful and pleasing than love.

AND THEN THERE WAS US (BOOK 2)
BEFORE READING THIS MAKE SURE TO READ THE BOOK 1 FIRST- author They say love is patient. Love is kind. But no one ever told us that love... forgets. That sometimes, love comes home late, avoids your gaze, and smells like unfamiliar perfume. Minsan... love becomes a stranger wearing the face of the person you swore your life to. We were once the couple people envied. The ones who laughed at inside jokes, dreamed of baby names, and slow danced in the kitchen at 2AM. But things changed. Slowly. Quietly. At first, it was the way he stopped asking if I was okay. Then, it was the way I stopped answering-because I knew he wouldn't listen anyway. I never begged. Not for his time. Not for his love. Not even when I felt it slipping through my fingers. And he never noticed. Not the tears. Not the silence. Not even the way I held my stomach one last time and whispered goodbye. Some things were lost in the spaces between what we said... and what we never dared to. And sometimes, the loudest kind of heartbreak is the one no one hears. He held me once like I was his whole world. Now, I wonder if he'll remember the weight of my hand... When the world forgets I was ever here. Hindi ko alam kung kailan nagsimulang lumamig ang mga yakap mo. Kung kailan naging mas madalas ang katahimikan kaysa sa halik sa noo. Pero alam ko kung kailan ako tuluyang nawala sa'yo-noong hindi mo na ako hinanap. This isn't a story of blame. Or betrayal. Or even goodbye. This is the story of us. The version no one got to see. The part after the vows. The part where love stayed... but we didn't. "And Then There Was Us." Sometimes, forever isn't a promise. It's a countdown.Complete
Red Strings
"I don't want to love you anymore" It's true. I'm tired of loving him. But I was held by an invisible chain, binding me into this inescapable world. I tried to leave and ended up killing myself. By the time I lost my breath, I will breathe another one. A new life again, and again and again. Like a broken stereo that's been repeating the same old song. I wanted to die peacefully this time. And I don't wanna love him anymore. *** It's a new reincarnation story and is also inspired towards the drama "Extraordinarily you" which I extremely love. Anyways, I really hope that you would like it all. All names, places and events are fiction and forgive me for my lack of English skills. I'm not fluent in that language and I hope you can understand, thank you. Please enjoy reading!Complete
Life and Death
Disclaimer: This novel involves abuse, sexual abuse and suicide. A destiny I never chose. A life I never wanted. A heart I swore never to give again. Death should have been my release. Instead, I awoke in another world... in another body... in another life. It should have been a second chance. But scars don't fade just because the skin is new. The memories still haunt me, silent shadows that twist my every thought, every fear, every breath. I care for no one. I trust nothing. I wish only for an end... yet something, some cruel, invisible force always pulls me back from the edge. I am a pawn dressed in silk and gold, forced into a game I never agreed to play. But even in a heart frozen by trauma, the warmth of life begins to seep in. Slowly, I begin to feel again. To breathe again. To hope. Then fate strikes once more. Another decision, made without me. Another future, sealed by hands not my own. And I realize... I may have escaped death, but not destiny. In a world of monsters, thrones and betrayal, can a shattered soul carve her own fate or will the past always bind her to a future she never wanted?
when you need me most
When you need me most, that's when I walk away. I've spent years with him-giving, pretending, sacrificing-but I've never really felt the way I thought I would. And still, I've never fully walked away. Each day feels heavier than the last, a quiet ache gnawing at me, reminding me that the person I'm losing isn't him... it's myself. People see us together and think it's enough. They see the smiles, the routines, the quiet mornings, the coffee he always makes, and they assume our love is perfect. They do not know the nights I lie awake, questioning if staying is worth the cost, or if leaving will destroy everything I've built inside myself. They do not know the small, invisible ways I've been disappearing-slowly, quietly, while he keeps holding on, unaware of how fragile I feel. It isn't that I don't care for him. He's kind, patient, and loving in ways that make me ache. But sometimes love isn't enough when it takes more than you can give-and when the person you're with doesn't meet you where you need them most. Between guilt, obligation, and the pull of familiarity, I've lost sight of myself, and I can't tell if I'm holding on to him... or just holding myself back. And now, when life throws new challenges his way, I have to face a question I've avoided for far too long: do I continue to sacrifice myself for a love that demands everything and gives only uncertainty? Or do I finally choose me-even if it means letting go?
Maybe
An internal voice whispered, "Call him." But I chose not to. I dismissed it once more, saying, "He never liked me anyway." Yet the dilemma lingered. "But maybe he does. The way he looks at you... it's different." Out of nowhere, he glanced my way. My heartbeat quickened, sending shivers down my spine. I averted my gaze, pretending to look around. "Has he noticed me? No, wait-oh my god." --- After switching high schools, Nina discovered a new way of life. She fell in love, made wonderful friends, and everything seemed perfect. But Ethan-a popular boy who never focused on anyone but her-was the object of her hatred. He was always there, always keeping her safe. He used to annoy her endlessly. She hated him deeply. Until she didn't. For a while, she was content with her high school experience. That is, until something mysterious turned her world upside down. Forced to move to a new city, Nina had to cut ties with everyone she once knew. Eight years later, fate brings her face-to-face with him again. "Ethan..." He's the key to everything-the truths she never knew. When she was lost in the dark, he always held the light. But now, things are different. She despises him. He's colder than ever. Or perhaps she fears him. Fears that he'll leave her again. Will their lives ever return to normal after everything they've endured? "Maybe?" "Maybe yes. Maybe no?" --- Started: 8 November 2021 Ended: 19 December 2022 Rewritten: December 2024 --- ### Rankings Goals So Far: #1 Adolescente #1 given up #1 blinddates #1 pretend #10 twistedromance #50 high school romance --- ### Notice: This is my first published story, and it contains numerous grammatical errors and bad editing.
