(SEQUEL TO EVERYTHING HURTS. MUST READ BOOK 1.)

           Suddenly, Leo pressed his palm to the wall and leant over me before I could turn at the corner of the hall. I froze, having no other choice, but to turn to face him again as he blocked me. Granted, he didn't trap me, but a sudden race of anxiety filled me and I obediently turned. He raised an eyebrow as I did so.
I wanted to yell at him, I wanted to be the strong one here this time, but my voice came out small and shaky as I spoke, "J-Just stop, okay? I can't deal with you doing this to me again."

After escaping Alicia's abusive ex-lover's death trap, the trauma still sits in the band and her thoughts. And, though Leo had saved her life, the two have not spoken to one another after the heartbreaking secret he had kept from Alicia. Now, nearly a year after everything, they are forced to reunite due to the band's worry over Leo's severe PTSD. Old wounds are reopened when therapy demands they remember past events and new troubles arise when Leo's unusual symptoms are finally diagnosed.

He longed to punish the monster inside him as painfully as possible, the monster who had ruined his Mehak's soul. Ruined his innocent midnight-honey eyed angel. He had scarred her for eternity and now he's determined to bestow himself with double amounts of scars and pain and grief. He doesn't want her forgiveness. Rather pain.

He wishes to bear pain till it makes up for the torture he inflicted on his innocent angel. He hates himself with same intensity as he loves his Mehak, endlessly. Love for his Mehak and hatred for himself to the extent of making himself writhe painfully in his self inflicted torture cause he has broken her-His Fragile Rose. And now it's time to break himself.

Stung By You by SBFors

I just close my eyes. Feeling him. Smelling him. Just existing close to him. My fingers clutch at his shirt, like it's the only thing keeping me from doing something reckless. Something completely, irrevocably stupid. Like kissing my son's best friend. And it feels so wrong. Oh God. So damn wrong. But then- His thumb shifts against my skin. A slow, lazy stroke. And suddenly, it feels so right. SO DAMN RIGHT. I breathe in too sharply. Mistake. He notices. Of course, he notices. His grip on my hips tightens. "You always this tense?" I force out a breath. "You always this annoying?" Leo laughs under his breath. "Only when I'm right." I tilt my head, and his eyes are already waiting for me-dark, unreadable, impossibly close. His fingers brush just above my waist. Barely there, but enough. Enough to make me hyper-aware of how easy it'd be to- "You wear this every night, don't you?" It takes me half a second to register what he means. The hoodie. His hoodie. *** 💔 She never expected to fall for him. 🔥 He never stopped waiting for her. 🏡 But some love stories don't follow the rules. Jenny Thompson moved to start fresh. A new neighborhood, a new home, a new beginning. What she didn't expect? Leo Mitchell. Her son's best friend. Fifteen years younger. And looking at her like she's something he's never stopped wanting. She tells herself it's nothing. She tells herself it can't happen. But then- 💬 "I don't know how to stop wanting this." 🔥 "Then don't." 📖 A slow-burn, emotional age-gap romance about love, healing, and the risk of wanting more. ** Taboo. Age gap. Off-limits tension. A love that shouldn't exist-but try stopping it.**

Everything Hurts by analiciapaloma

I knew what was coming later tonight, not only at home, but on the way there. I knew that reacting right now would just make it worse though. So I kept quiet and pretended that I was not dreading when I would be alone with the man that stood beside me, wondering when it became so normal to do so. Jason and Alicia have the perfect relationship from the outside looking in, but Alicia has kept her wounded spirit and body hidden well. After another one of Jason's violent rages that is impossible to hide, Alicia is finally able to get away from the abuse though. In the process of healing, she begins to relearn what trust, compassion, and safety are once again - that is, until Jason discovers her whereabouts.

Heavenly Refuge by _SkySailor

She's told she would die. A disease that takes away every breath. What would you do if you were in her shoes? Luna Moon, a girl who's fate is to die by cancer's hands, is lost. She doesn't know where to turn. Until a strange guy saves her from drowning in the ocean. The guy was just a stranger, right? Wrong. He goes to her school, and somehow ends up living with Luna. Do they fall in love? Why not. She's on a limited time span, so what's to lose? Oh, right, her heart. It's kind of weird when you think that guy is a target for a drug dealer, but ends up denying him. His father's in jail, and he's scarred. Who does he trust? Simon Morse learns to actually enjoy his life when Luna takes him into her home. But he didn't know. "... It's a story that will capture your heart every chapter... At the happy parts I was crying... And at the sad parts? Tears of sadness..." ~Sarabat01 (a/n: This is book #1 in the Refuge series which is a stand-alone series. Meaning that you can read each book by itself, but they're all part of the same... grouping, should I call it?) (another a/n: I've been reading this over and I'm a harsh critique, especially on myself, and I realize... that my writing early on was... bad. I've decided to keep this book on Wattpad to help learn from my mistakes. Looking back, I can see how my writing has improved over the years. Thank you!)

The Softest Parts of Me (Book 1) by 20animeluver25

Leo is quiet, careful, and always watching the exits. Maddie is loud, steady, and impossible to ignore. Their connection isn't instant-but it's real. And when life starts to unravel, it's Maddie who stays. Even when Leo pushes her away. Especially then. This is a story about falling in love for the first time when your heart is still learning how to beat. About finding safety in someone else's hands... and daring to believe you deserve it. Story Snippet: ---- Then her voice floated out, light and casual: "Leo?" He looked up. The door cracked open a little, steam curling out, and Maddie peeked through-cheeks flushed from the heat, water dripping from the ends of her hair and trailing down the slope of her collarbone. She wasn't holding a towel. She wasn't really holding anything. Just leaned in the doorway, chin tilted up, the corner of her lip quirked slightly. "Can you grab my towel?" she asked, almost too casually. "I left it on the bed." His heart stuttered. "Uh-yeah. Yeah, of course." He scrambled up. "And my clothes? The ones I left out." Her voice lowered just a little, almost teasing. "Also... do you have a zip-up I can borrow?" He found himself nodding before he could think, already pulling the folded towel into his hands, then her clothes-still neatly laid out like she'd planned it. He grabbed her skincare pouch from the nightstand too. Last thing she'd want was to forget that. Then he paused at his duffel, rifling through until he found one of his hoodies. The grey one. Oversized. Definitely too big on her, which suddenly made his brain short-circuit even more. He knocked lightly on the doorframe. "Got everything." "Come in a little," she murmured from behind the door, cracking it open just an inch more. "Just... don't look." ---- - Content Warnings: emotional abuse, coercion, trauma recovery, PTSD, healing after SA - 70,000-210,00 words in total - BOOK 2 IS CONFIRMED!!!!!

The Pieces You Left Me (Book 2) by 20animeluver25

Leo is learning how to breathe again. Maddie is still the calm in his storm. They're older now-changed by time, by pain, by everything they've fought to survive. But some things don't change. Like the way he looks at her. Like the way she always knows what he needs, even when he doesn't. This is a story about love that grows with you. About holding space for someone even when it hurts. About choosing each other-again and again-even when the world keeps pulling you apart. And maybe... about finding your way back when you never really let go. Story Snippet: ---- And she hasn't looked at me in twenty minutes. I know it's not personal. I know she's not trying to be cold. But it feels like I'm on the outside of something I didn't even know I could be outside of. I swallow hard and move toward her before I can talk myself out of it. She glances up as I approach, blinking like she didn't expect me to come over. Her smile flickers but doesn't quite fade. I reach for the hem of her hoodie and tug on it lightly-just enough for her to feel it. "Maddie," I say, quietly. "I really don't like this." Her body stills. She looks at me, really looks at me now, and the sound of the others fades a little. Her eyes soften, but her shoulders don't drop. Not yet. ---- Continuation of "The Softest Parts of Me" Book 1 I highly suggest reading the first book before this one!!! I post Chapter Updates daily! (cover pic is from pinterest)

Things Foretold #2 by darlingcrusade

Book #2 of Things Trilogy Second chances. You'll do anything for it even if it means you fall apart, if only to spare yourself another regret gnawing at the hollow of your chest. But is it really worth the pain? In that graveyard of trust, you buried your heart beneath layers of bitterness and quiet despair, swearing no hand would ever touch its pulse again. They taught you the exquisite agony of being cherished, only to leave you hollow and convinced you are unworthy of devotion's gentle hands. What they took from was not merely time or peace-it was a life. But fate, ever merciless, delights in resurrecting old ghosts. The person who broke you once stands at your door begging to try again. And for a heartbeat, you ache to believe in miracles you no longer dare name aloud. Perhaps this time it won't end in ruin. But what is the worth of a love that must beg for resurrection? Is it worth reliving the pain you barely survived the first time? Or is this the one truth you can't outrun-that some things foretold are never meant to be rewritten, but to test whether you have finally learned that some ghosts are meant to stay buried-no matter how sweetly they knock at your door.
