The Perfect Chaos
**Perfect Chaos** Friendly Enemies-to-chaotic lovers. Found family. Buried trauma. A love that burns slow-and a shadow ready to break her. She's the wildfire everyone leans on-loud, loyal, unbreakable. She fights for her friends and pretends the nightmares don't still wake her screaming. She says she's fine. She's lying.

He says he's fine. He's lying. Their chaotic family is everything-late-night donut runs, color wars, two fiercely loyal dogs who guard her heart. But one is slipping away. Secret calls. Forced smiles. Guilt she can't name. And someone is watching. Planting photos. Whispering doubts. Turning closeness into betrayal. Waiting to isolate her... and make her his. A festival of colors hiding fractures. Panic in the dark. Late-night confessions. They laugh. They fight. They fall apart together. But when the pictures arrive, will everyone survives what comes next? **Perfect Chaos** - where friendship keeps them breathing, love is the deadliest risk, and the shadow already knows how to break her. Step into the storm. You won't look away. 🌪️💜

Friends Unrequited... Maybe
"I just realised something." I say, breaking the long silence from the journey. "I'm not gonna be too sad if we don't end up finding her." I speak looking straight ahead as I drive down the road, a million thoughts running through my head. I continue, "Maybe cause to travel is better than to arrive. It's actually what has happened along the way that counts; the tears, the falls and the friendship. It's about the journey and not the destination. And I know she'd think the same. So, I guess, we just gotta trust that the future is gonna work itself out like it's supposed to." I finish off and the other two don't say anything. I glance towards them to see them watch me with apprehension. We all fall silent once again as the trees pass by us, unable to stop thinking about that one silly, reckless knobhead. Friendships are nice that way, just a bit complicated

In a quiet town wrapped in fog and secrets, something ancient stirs beneath the surface. When new blood enters a neighborhood already weighed down by silence, curiosity can become dangerous. Some doors are locked for a reason... and some truths are meant to stay buried. But for April, once she knocks-there's no turning back. ⟡𖤐⟡✧⟡𖤐⟡✧⟡𖤐⟡✧ April had always been curious about the new boy named Gregory, who had moved into her neighborhood. He was quiet, always alone, with a stare that seemed too heavy for someone his age. Rumors began to spread-whispers of screams in the night and strange symbols drawn in red near the woods. Due to him not showing up to school regularly and having been acting quite strange, April's curiosity turned into obsession. Her dreams became disturbed, filled with flickering shadows and haunting whispers that spoke his name. Unexplained disappearances and brutal attacks from a mysterious creature started happening. Victims were found torn apart-no trace of the attacker, only claw marks and eerie silence. And April happened to be stalked by something lurking through the shadows. She soon discovers and is surprised to see who it is. A face she trusted. Having a rare condition... one hidden for generations. To consume blood flesh. ⟡𖤐⟡✧⟡𖤐⟡✧⟡𖤐⟡✧ ⚠ Content Warning: strong language, blood/gore, graphic violence, alcohol use, attempt of suicide, SA, and frightening scenes ⚠ · ┈┈┈┈┈┈ · ꕥ · ┈┈┈┈┈┈ · This story has a playlist **Listen on Spotify**Complete
The Best Kind of Betrayal
It's the first day of June's senior year and everything is already going wrong. Her first boyfriend and supposedly love of her life dumps her for someone else, her heart is broken and feels like it won't ever heal again and her best friend makes her join the most unnecessary club on earth to help her find new friends she most definitely does not need. Still. New chances are for new beginnings, right? Instead of falling into a deep dark pit of self pity (however tempting that may sound), all of this betrayal ends up leading her to the best friends she's ever had and the most exciting school year of her life. Oh - and a whole new fake boyfriend, to get some revenge on that idiot who dumped her. And who knows. Maybe even more.
