After years of torture, sadness, and being rejected by all who she thought were her 'friends', she decides to seize her baggage and her pain and embark on an adventure she has never experienced before She wants one thing, loneliness, but a first frail encounter with a young man makes her feel things differently. The mysterious man who wears sunglasses every time is what might be able to allow Cher to live a bit, at least, a tiny bit. Sether, on the other hand, is a young man who has his future in the fog. He doesn't care much about the world, he doesn't care about the women who approach him all the times, he doesn't care about the mockeries he receives regularly because of his hideous sunglasses, he doesn't mind, because he knows the pain, he knows it deeply. Both are solitary birds seeking a shoulder to lean on without even knowing it. They will meet, they will feel the same, they will probably fall passionately in love, but the secrets within them have the keys to their future together. --- Started: 14/11/19 Completed: 5/07/20 Hope you'll love this!

That's how I feel.❞ ❯ Bella had always been a little bit different. She had OCD and it was controlling her entire life. Some would call her intense and interesting, others would call her insane. Either way, the number four ruled Bella's life and now that she had turned sixteen everything was a much bigger deal. Four sets of four is sixteen, and that meant that in her sixteenth year of life something was going to happen. She didn't know what would happen, but she knew that if she stopped counting to four whatever life had in store for her would turn bad. Fast. When her brother Kai comes home for the first time in a while, he sees how loud the voices in his little sister's head have gotten and decides to take things into his own hands. The decision changes everything for Bella and ends up making everything much more complicated.
