Hi! quick disclaimer to say that I am not a native English speaker, I tried writing stories in English several times before but I never posted those. 
To Shine Again is sort of a test for me. 
So yeah, my English is not perfect as I am not bilingual, but I do want to improve so feel free to correct me or give me suggestions so I can improve my writing! 

That being said, enjoy your read!! ☺︎︎All Rights Reserved

IT'S HER STORY~❤ by kashikanayyar

This story is about a girl who basically hated her life because of the experiences she had at a very early age. Even though there were a lot of people who left her, there were some who stood by her. But in this Teen fiction when people gave up on there own lives and one another, will Maya would be able to survive it? And even if she will, things will never be the same maybe in a good way but there's no surety of it as it is life only takes a few seconds to change everything. In this story of friendship, love, and harassment, I hope that my way of writing sickness out will be a cure for your problems. And even if your problems aren't solved it's not the end of your life as you all know that you can overcome it and take over your problems....

"I need you to be the put together one because I'm so fucked up. You've saved me." He whispers. "Carter, we saved each other." I mutter looking at him through my eyelashes. I lean into him, our lips not even an inch apart. "Sophia we shouldn't..." He looks hesitant. "Please, I need you." I almost started crying. "Please." I mutter one more time, my eyes begging for him. My body needing him. Sophia Carrington. She just moved from New York to California in search of a new life. When her life took a dark turn she's forced to leave everything behind. She just wants to finish her final year of high school, numb to the world, while learning to cope with the trauma she's endured. Carter Marquez.

Maya applied pressure to my wound. I hissed from the pain. "Stop fucking around." She rolled her eyes at me. Maya finished tending my wound, wrapping it with a bandage. As she got up to put the first aid away, I stopped her. My thumb rubbed against the cool skin of her hand. I pulled her to sit on my lap. My fingers ran through her hair. "You're doing it again." I ignored her, sinking my chin into her shoulder. "I have no idea what you're talking about." I placed small pecks on neck. Her breathing turning heavy. "Stop. Someone could walk in." "And? You think they want to watch? Shit, I would." _____________________________________ ~Maya Castillo~ Escaping her traumatic past, Maya and her brother, Santiago, run to New York.

Gambit (Obsessions in Overdrive #2) by MarcelinePierson

Previously known as The Accident --------- She is beautiful. So fucking beautiful. She is a star and I would become an astronomer for her and I would study for the rest of my life and I would bleed, sweat and cry day and night just so I can understand her beauty. I would want the other stars to be jealous of her since no matter how big and bright they shine, she will always be the brightest one illuminating the night sky. She's better than everyone. I constantly think about how she can do so much better and how she deserves to be with someone who will notice everything amazing about her and not just use her. She needs to be with someone who will notice how she laughs. How confident she is. How she talks. The way her smile is different from the rest and the way her eyes glow when you talk about the stars. They should notice how her hair flows and how she can talk all day. She needs to be with me. --------- Contains: Fake-dating College romance --------- Started: 12 October 2021 Ended: 16 January 2023 Editing completion: 12 July 2024 --------- #1 firststory #1 hotel #1 pretty #2 cutegirl #2 teenagers #3 loss

You Belong To Me by imjustagirlyx

Maya is friends with benefits with her ex. When she decides to move on, will he let her? -------- He straightens up, trying to mask his vulnerability as he sighs in frustration.

In our silence, I finally understand why he couldn't let me go. He still loves me. How didn't I see this sooner? He did everything to stop me from moving on, it was so obvious. I need to put this right. -------- Read after being warned: Spicy parts (chapters marked with * (skippable scenes)) Strong language Violence There'll probably be more that'll trigger you, so don't read if you get triggered easily.
