✧ prequel to The Search for Lily Myers → read that one first! ✧
   

7:04 p.m. 
Wednesday, September 2nd. 

No one knows it, but at this moment, three things are certain: 
Lily Myers is about to disappear,
Liam Duke is about to have his heart broken,
and Henry Caruso is about to meet the love of his life. 

But Liam wasn't always the confident boyfriend, Lily wasn't always the troubled girlfriend, and Henry definitely wasn't always the loving cousin. 

So how did they get there? It's kind of a long story.

✦ A/N: Hi friends! Even though this story is a prequel, it is intended to be read as a follow-up to The Search for Lily Myers, so make sure you go read that first! There are major spoilers in this book for that story, so I definitely don't recommend reading this one first. Nothing in this book should be 18+, but I will try to put a trigger warning at the start of the chapter if I think it might be helpful to do so.All Rights Reserved

The Search for Lily Myers ✓ by falling-into-you

Amelia Allen feels stuck. To an outsider, her life must look beautiful. She has a steady job, a relationship, and several years of her twenties left to figure out what more she wants out of life. But nothing is as shimmery as it appears from the surface, and her boyfriend's increasing hostility leaves her feeling trapped within the confines of her own life---too scared to stay where she is but even more scared to run. Everything changes when a stranger disappears. When Amelia finds out that a girl she went to school with has gone missing, she decides to show up at the search party, only expecting it to impact her life for a couple of hours. But there she meets Henry, who's sweet and charming and impossible to stay away from. And as she gets pulled deeper into his world and the mystery of his cousin's disappearance, the entangled truths about everything around her start to emerge. Hearts are broken, dark secrets are exposed, and people's true colors are revealed. But amidst all of the chaos, Amelia slowly starts to find something else: herself. »»-----　♡　-----«« ✧ Started: June 7th, 2020 ✧ Completed: October 11th, 2020 ✧ Rewrite Started: August 2022 ✧ Rewrite Completed: October 2022 »»-----　♡　-----«« ♡ previously featured in @Romance's Featured Romance Stories list ♡

Tomorrow's Blues by fadedxfires

~"You don't- you don't need me." I stared in shock. This was the first shred of emotion he'd shown since he started avoiding me, and I had no idea how to respond. What was I supposed to say to something like that? So I let myself be honest, and I told him exactly how I felt. "But I do." I almost choked on my words. "I do need you. I can't talk to anybody else. I can't eat. I can't sleep. And I know you know what that's like."~ Liliana is now an orphan. Just 17 years old, she lost her parents in a boating accident and now she must live with her best friend, her best friend's parents and her best friend's brother, Joseph. She struggles through her grief as well as dealing with the mysterious but obnoxious Joseph, and it soon comes to light that he isn't the only one around her keeping secrets. Living under the same roof, tensions arise, and Liliana begins to discover that a perfect family may not be so perfect after all." If you like a good old slowburn, enemies (ish) to lovers, bonding over tragic backstories type beat then this story is for you, I promise :) #1 in #bestfriendsbrother (didn't note the exact date - some time in January 2021) #1 in #dealing with death (11/04/21) amazing cover by @sixty6ix !!

If I Stay {Fillie} by filliecheesesticks

Finn Wolfhard and Millie Bobby Brown couldn't be more different: Finn is a world famous musician, with millions of fans who adore him, more money than he could spend in a lifetime, and all the girls he could ever want; Millie, on the other hand, is perfectly normal-just a regular teenage girl trying to help her family get by while counting on her friends to keep her upright. When the two meet by chance and get into a rough situation together, Millie is forced to leave everything she loves behind. Over time, the rigid walls surrounding them both begin to fall, and Finn finds himself capable of loving another person for the first time in years. However, falling in love has a price. Finn doesn't think the world is worth living in if Millie is not there beside him, but her time is limited. And it's running out with every passing day. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ PG-13 Completed! I live in the United States and English is my first language.

Tangled Hearts by RennyTee

[BOOK 1] "I won't leave" I whisper, and he smiles, "I know, baby" he says softly, and my lips tug upwards into a smile. "You're the exception" he continued, his tone tender as he pressed a short, sweet kiss to my forehead. I didn't know it then, but I started falling in love with Finn Brookes, we were each other's exceptions. * * * Lily Garcia didn't come to university looking for love-especially not with someone like Finn Brooks. He's charming, infuriating, and a walking complication she doesn't need. But no matter how hard she tries to keep her distance, there's something about him that feels like gravity, pulling her closer with every encounter. Beneath his cocky exterior, she senses the fractures he tries to hide-the same ones she's been running from her entire life. Finn's been through hell, and love isn't part of the plan. He's good at keeping his walls high, locking out anyone who might get too close. But then Lily shows up, and suddenly his carefully controlled life begins to unravel. She's everything he didn't know he was missing, and that scares him more than he's willing to admit. But with their pasts threatening to destroy what they could be, and old friends trying to drive a wedge between them, trust becomes their biggest hurdle. And when a new love interest steps into the picture, everything Lily and Finn thought they were building starts to fall apart. Fighting their demons was never supposed to include each other, but now they have to decide if the risk of heartbreak is worth the reward of finally letting someone in.

Navigating life alone, steering away from other people's business, the last thing he expected was to get caught in the new girl's world. A journey of healing, friendship, and a chance at love. ----------- P.s. since I'm a new writer the first couple chapters might sound a little cringe, but I swear it gets better so soon. It'd be nice if you keep reading till the end and I'd appreciate your support for this new hobby of mine. You're free to call me out on any errors or scenes that you don't like in the comments, be nice though. I really would love to read your comments on the book, so keep commenting, I'll try to always reply. Luv u. Enjoy.

Steal My Girl by notjustarandomgirl

Emma can't wait to get to college and leave all of her bitter high school memories behind. Especially the one who broke her heart and made the rest of her high school life hell. She hopes that college will provide her with a fresh start and an opportunity to find love again. As she prepares to move on and start anew, she discovers that the guy she meant to forget is at the same college! Is college going to be like high school all over again? Will she be able to learn from her mistakes and protect her heart this time around? Emma must make a tough decision: allow him to reenter her life with the possibility of breaking her heart again, or take the opportunity to start afresh and find new love. She must decide if staying the same or taking a chance on something new is the right choice for her. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * This story was originally a 1D fanfiction uploaded in wattpad year 2015 with 13 Chapters. Now, I'm editing it, revising some of the names (as well as the scenes and most of the chapters) so it will fall under the category of young adult romance instead of fanfiction. The reason for doing this is for publication purposes in the future. Feel free to imagine the same characters from the original, or think of someone you liked. Louis, Harry, Zayn, Niall, and Liam will always have a special place in my heart. But for inspiration purposes, I now imagine my BTS boys for this story, particularly JK and V!

Billie Eilish has a reputation on campus-a player with a long list of hookups and no intention of settling down. Her love life is simple: no strings, no drama, no complications. But when she starts a secret friends-with-benefits relationship with Sophia Rin, a girl who's just as focused on school as she is on staying out of Billie's mess, things start to get complicated. What begins as a no-strings fling turns into something more. The more time they spend together, the harder it is for Sophia to ignore how much Billie's flirty reputation bothers her. Billie might be coming home to Sophia every night, but what happens when it's not enough to keep pretending she doesn't care? In this slow-burn romance, boundaries blur, feelings grow, and both girls have to decide-are they willing to risk everything to cross the line? ╭────── · · ୨୧ · · ──────╮ Please note that the events and characters in this story are purely fictional and do not reflect real life.
