Keighlah just wanted to be a successful singer. But whilst juggling with fame and friendship, things are not as easy as they seem.

                                                         ****

Keighlah had three simple rules in life: never forget your lyrics, never lose your cool in public and never fall for your bandmate. But love is a complicated emotion and it always finds a way to mess up with your perfectly written life. And Keighlah is also falling into the trap.

❝ I don't have time to waste thinking about a boy who will only destroy my future,❞ I say getting closer to him with every word, maybe a little too close. I feel his breath fanning my face. He licks his lip as a sneaky smirk slips onto them, his greenish-gray eyes shift between my lips and eyes, making my traitorous breath hitch. ❝ You saying you think about me, Torres? ❞ ~ Mariana Torres is the first in her family to go to college. Being the first in a Latinx family comes with more pressure and stress than usual, something Mariana is used to.

Unpredictably Yours by wa02guy

Predictable. For most, it's a word with negative connotations, a synonym for 'boring'. But predictability is what keeps orchestral violist Randall Lipsky grounded in a chaotic world. From eating the same breakfast every morning to always arriving early for orchestra rehearsal, routine and habit are what he's all about. So it's no surprise that finding love isn't on Randall's to-do list; why bring the unpredictability of romance into his comfortable, orderly life? After all, his parents' miserable marriage has shown him that love is anything but safe. Enter cellist Colette Zhang. She's new to the orchestra, and she's bold, confident, and decidedly unpredictable! She's also exactly what Randall's NOT looking for. So why can't he get her out of his head? And if that's not enough, circumstances beyond their control keep bringing them together. As Randall and Colette develop an unlikely friendship, they find they have more in common than they thought, including a mutual attraction that's getting harder to deny. But before he can take the leap into that gloriously unpredictable thing called love, he'll have to face the hardest question of all: Is he willing to let go of the safety he's always known to embrace the unknown? And what's he willing to risk to keep the love he never saw coming? [NOTE: This is my current work-in-progress. Yes, even after nearly five years, I'm still working on it, because I really want to tell Randall and Colette's story! A lot has gone on in the intervening years (and some big changes have happened), but they're never far from my mind. The outline is completely finished, all that remains is actually writing, which is finally progressing, even if the pace is glacial! I'm bound and determined to see this story through to completion. Everything in due time. 😊]

"Listen Kenzy, I know I've been an ass and truthfully maybe you shouldn't even bother returning my calls. You're right, I've been nothing but awful since we met, driving you away yet desperate to keep you close" My heart clinches, but I dared not breathe. Too afraid to give in, too afraid that if I reach for the phone, I'll call. I'll call to make it right. I want to make it right, because this man affects me more than I ever thought he would. But it isn't right. I can't give myself false hope. "Please just talk to me, let me explain. It's not you.....it's me. I'm the asshole. You don't deserve this, you didn't. ..." He pauses and I hold my breath still, fearing he'd hear me breathe, yet, it's only his left voicemail on the phone. Not him "I'm sorry.......dammit!" And that's it, our one sided conversation ends and I'm more broken than before. What happens when your world crashes? When the people you thought would be there forever literally runs through the door without a second glance backwards? What happens with taking a step outside your comfort zone? What happens when that step outside that comfort zone turns into....well unexpected? Personalities clash, feelings are crushed and just maybe that one person you ignore turns out to be the damn life savers. Easy enough, but did I forget to mention they belong to someone else? Will what happens in summer stay with summer? The beautiful cover was done by @LittleRedConverse23, go check out her great work ❤❤❤ #thebuttercupawards2020 #RoseAwards

His passion for the rhythm that played in his soul. Her presence was his distraction. But deep down he knew the love that he carried for her. But wait? Was it really love or...was it like ... how his elder brother told him...infatuation... The time didn't seem to stop for the growing thoughts that would whirl his mind on not knowing 'what is love', It's not just the affection that you get from your beloved? It's not just the support, care and respect that you get from your well-wishers? What is love? he couldn't answer the question. The knowledge of it was evident on the million pages he had written for her, reciting his heart's calling rendering his love for her. But it was not what his heart really wanted to write. It was just his pen flowing with the words in his head. Find out how the musician searches for the love that would make him travel through various lands and waters, not recognising the one person who was behind his shadow only wishing for his one glimpse.
