Prologue: Slipping Away
I don't let people in. There's no point. Sooner or later, everything fades-dreams, plans, even time itself. I learned that the hard way. The future isn't something I think about anymore. Not because I don't want to, but because I know it isn't mine to have.
It's easier this way. Keep moving. Keep existing. No hopes, no attachments, no regrets.
And then she came along.
Athena. Too stubborn, too bright-standing like the most magnificent lamp of heaven in a world I've already dimmed. She wasn't supposed to matter. I wasn't supposed to care.
But something about her made me hesitate. And hesitation is dangerous.

A Sky of My Own
Elara has always felt like she's standing on the edge of the world-watching life pass by, never fully part of it. When everything familiar begins to fall apart, she finds herself drawn to the mountains, where the skies are wide and no one expects her to pretend she's okay. Surrounded by wildflowers and quiet winds, Elara begins to confront the parts of herself she's long kept hidden-grief, loneliness, and the quiet hope for something more. For the first time, she lets herself pause, breathe, and ask: Who am I, when I'm finally just... me? In that stillness, she begins to heal-not by becoming someone new, but by embracing who she's always been. And as she lets go of who she thought she had to be, Elara finally learns what it means to belong... to herself. ~~~ Date Started: May 08, 2025 Date Finished: May 14, 2025Complete

Cy and Dash
For some reason, the bond that existed a lifetime makes us afraid of taking risks. It makes us fear the possibilities of pain and rejection. It makes us hide the truth even with our damned feelings. "Do you love me?" she asked while looking intently at those lovely and soulful pair of eyes. "Are you seriously asking me that? How can I not love you? You're crazy but caring. You're feisty but soft deep down inside. Not to mention that I've lived almost every single moment of my life with you." He replied while wearing a truly genuine smile on his lips. "Is that it?" she asked again with a glint of hope in her stare. "I have one more reason." "What is it?" "What else could it be? Of course, it's because you're my BESTFRIEND." She looked down and said, "I know. I'm you're BEST FRIEND." There. With that last word, she felt the undeniable feeling of pain and rejection again. How can she not feel hurt when she's been in love with her best friend for years now? She has been dreaming of being that girl whom he would cherish for life. But maybe, they're not really for each other. She's fully aware that he will never see her as someone more than his best friend. Note: This story is written in Taglish and is my first new adult fiction story. This story is unedited, so please bear with the grammatical inconsistencies and typos. Read at your own risk. I hope you'll enjoy the story of Cy and Dash as much as I enjoy writing it. Thank you so much! Happy reading!Complete

My High School Life
" Hope you'll find the genuine happiness and along with it, you will be able to forget all about me. " She said. I smiled bitterly. " After all, it was nostalgia. I wish, we could be that happy again. Hoping that you and me might be the greatest star and the inspiring heart 'til the end. " I said. It was the almost perfect night. The night sky with the twinkling stars and the moon with its light. But it was us that made the night imperfect. We may be there, but our hearts are miles away from each other. " I won't forget you. But thank you for letting me know my worth. Thank you for being the greatest lesson of my life. Goodbye...my heart. " It was the night full of luminous stars.
