After my mom died, the only thing I had to live for was my family and my schoolwork. There were no friends, no parties, just the goal of getting into Harvard and away from this town. That was until Miles walked into my life and changed everything. He taught me how to live again. He showed me that I can still accomplish my goals and be a typical teenager at the same time. He forced me to open myself up to him and put my heart back out for the world to see. But, unfortunately not every storybook has a happy ending.

The cut that always bleeds
I was what they called a perfectionist. I had everything planned out and wanted a simple straightforward life. Things at home were hectic, disturbed, painful and heart-breaking. I decided that I wanted to stay away from all people that could possibly hurt me. For example, friends, extended family, judgemental neighbours and worst of all, the one I dreaded the most... love. But of course, as any normal story goes, I was unable to steer clear of love. I was unable to steer clear from him. I let myself drown in merciless water, drown so deep, the surface was out of the question. I let myself escape and wonder in his inequitable love, so blinded, so foolish. I thought I could no longer drown. But that day. That one day. That day ensured my belief. That I would forever drown alone.Complete![[ENGLISH] Love & other DRUGS](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/403535900-256-k912889.jpg)
[ENGLISH] Love & other DRUGS
They say that in life, we all have three great loves. The first arrives in adolescence-innocent, filled with dreams and illusions. The second teaches you pain, and you cling to it even knowing it was never meant to be. It's the kind of love you once wished would last forever, but instead, it helped you grow. The third love is the one you never saw coming. You let it happen without expectations-just you, allowing yourself to be surprised. It's the love that heals old wounds and makes you genuinely happy. It's the love that teaches you how to love for real. It's the true one. This story is dedicated to all those still carrying wounds from that second love. Don't be afraid to move forward. Don't shut your heart, even if it's in a thousand pieces. Something better is coming.Complete
This could be something
He ruined everything the day we met. I was twelve. He was the new boy next door. Our families clicked like best friends in a sitcom until he did something that changed everything. For five years, I avoided him. No texts. No waves. No eye contact. I thought I'd never see him again. But fate has a wicked sense of humor... because now we're stuck in the same university. Same course. Same lectures. Same everything. And he? He acts like nothing happened. Like we were never strangers. I swore I wouldn't forgive him. But the heart has its own syllabus and apparently, he's on every page. Enemies. Classmates. Maybe... something more. This is the story of how silence turned into sparks.Complete
Love Crossed
Some love stories don't need endings. They just bleed into another chapter. They were together for only nine days, a fleeting romance that seemed insignificant in time but profound in impact. Three years later, fate reunites them in a college in Germany-only now, everything has changed. She no longer longs for his love; she craves his hatred. Meanwhile, he is determined to make her fall in love again, this time for the sake of his own resentment. Their story unfolds across two continents, from Asia to Europe, weaving through love, loss, and the unrelenting pull of unfinished emotions.Complete![The Love We Deny ✔️ [COMPLETED]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/228216828-256-k47134.jpg)
