Building a life can be hard. Harder for people who have experienced loss and pain in the heart of their small homes. And much harder for Alana, who has unconsciously closed her doors to anything that could cause her heartache. Distant, introverted, and afraid of being a disappointment, she is often misunderstood and easily influenced by people's opinions of her.
Now, as she begins a new chapter of her life, she encounters more situations that challenge her ideals and beliefs. Along with a few good friends and uncertain decisions, she is forced to step out of her comfort zone and face life beyond her small circle.
With a tiny spark of motivation and just a small pinch of effort, will Alana be able to learn how to dream-and live for it?

Neil asked smugly and Jaanvika nodded to which he replied, "That's why I hate you." "I hate everything that you love." He repeated with a grin. "I love your ocean blue eyes." Jaanvika said after a beat, her smile turning sweet and sharp at once, "Can you please pluck them out?" She watched for the irritation to surface on his face. Instead, he slung his bag back onto his shoulder in one fluid motion, pulled her towards him by her arm, and muttered into the small distance between them, "Doesn't matter. They're already yours." He paused for a second as something crossed his face, "They keep searching for-" He bit the words off mid-sentence, while she hiccuped at the sudden weight of them, naturally. His fingers came up to her nose, and he held her gaze with a steadiness as if he's laying a trap, "They actually search for you, you know. But do you know why?" Jaanvika looked into his eyes the way one looks into deep water. She was compelled but uncertain of the depth,"Wh - why?" "Just to annoy you." He bumped his forehead lightly against hers. ≫∘❀♡❀∘≪ A story of first love, heartbreak and emotional strength. Take a breath as you're in for a long journey.

The Dark Deception - The Return of Waeccende
Greg suffered terrible nightmares recently. He would wake in a sweat, breathing hard, and with no memory of the content of the dream. Confiding in his friends, they agreed to look over him as he slept to wake him at the height of the nightmare. Implementing this one evening, they discover the contents of the dream. That same night they retire ... Upon waking, they discover themselves in a strange land, and are quickly entwined in an adventure, which begins innocently enough, but slowly turns horrific and challenges their resolve and purpose. At first their path looks clear and simple. However, as they split into two groups and each pursue their tasks, they find themselves challenged with the strengths of their friendships and choices of self-preservation or of saving their friend's life instead. Ultimately they reach their goal, and the truth is revealed ... Author's note: I've written this book, as a sort of biography set in a fantastical realm. It is a description of my mental illness, which is a schizoaffective disorder, and the state of mind the condition puts me in. The way I've chosen to describe this is the best way I can articulate how I feel in certain situations. I describe the period of time I was in University studying Physics & Astronomy, up through to the completion of my MSc in computational astrophysics. I hope you enjoy this book, and hopefully it will help you to understand what people who are mentally ill go through daily, or maybe even help you understand what a loved one with a mental illness suffers.Complete
Worth the Risk
August & Colin | WRU series | book 1 We take risks. We make mistakes. We lie. We love. We hurt. We lose total control. I took a risk. I paid the price. I made a mistake. I felt the guilt. I lied. I lie. I loved. I try not to. I hurt. I still do. I lost control. I'm losing again. I try to stick to my plan, I try to follow my rules, I try to silence my heart, I try to keep control of the domino stones that represent my life. But one domino fell and the rest just followed. *** "We shouldn't do this," he whispers against my lips. I should applaud him for having the strength to act on that thought because I haven't been able to. At one point I wanted to, but his touches made the impulse to stop vanish. Now, the only thing I want to act on is the longing inside my chest as I think about demolishing the space between us. "Do you want to stop?" I can feel his frown against my forehead. He nudges my nose before placing a featherlight kiss on my mouth. His hands slide over my jawline, his thumbs slowly caressing my cheeks. He gives me another kiss. Slow and deliberately, as if he's still debating the answer to my question as he slicks his tongue over mine. He softly sucks on my bottom lip, dragging it with him when he pulls away. "I can't," he confesses before he presses his lips back on mine. *** All Rights Reserved (Do not copy this story, thank you :))Complete

A Teacher-Student Soft Romance **************** "Falling in love was never in the syllabus" **************** You know what's worse than failing a year? Repeating it with a new batch of juniors, feeling like a fossil, and having a teacher who looks like he stepped out of a "How to Be Intimidating and Gorgeous at the Same Time" manual.

But then came the rumours, the misunderstandings, the stolen moments, and suddenly, my biggest academic struggle wasn't just biology-it was not falling in love with Sir Aaryan. (And trust me, he's making it very, very hard.) **************** Tropes: ●Age Gap ●Teacher x student ●College Romance ●Soft Romance ●Unrequited Love ● Happy Ending (P.s Not A realistic story , I aim to escape reality) #18 in self-esteem #118 in teacher #33 in caring #69 in pakistanComplete
