I will never forget the moment my entire world fell apart.  It was June 7th, 2014.  I was preparing for my grad twelve graduation.  My dress was a beautiful deep purple with silver beads around the bodice.  Dexter, my boyfriend's tie was a deep purple to match against his cheap black rental tux and black shirt.  Though I hadn't seen him in his outfit yet, I knew he would clean up good.  My mom and I were on our way back from Saskatoon.  My dress had finally come back from the seamstress with the alterations done.  It was a cool day with overcast clouds in the sky.  It felt like any other day, little did I know it would change me forever.All Rights Reserved

My Obsession (Waves Of Love #2) by SabbiePar

There's this silence between us that stretches longer than it should, and it wraps around my chest like a weighted blanket. My throat tightens. I stare at him like I'm trying to memorise the face of someone who shouldn't exist. A dream made real. My lips part before I can stop myself. "Were you sent by my dad to take care of me?" The question hangs in the air, trembling like the last leaf in autumn. Aiden's gaze softens. His lips tug into the gentlest smile I've ever seen. It's the kind of smile that could mend broken wings. "No" he whispers. "I volunteered." The words hit harder than I expect. Like a punch wrapped in silk. I gasp, air leaves me in a rush I can't reclaim. But before I can fully process what he's just said, he takes a step closer. His fingers ghost over my cheek, brushing away a tear I didn't realise had fallen. And then-he kisses me painfully slow. His hand cups the back of my neck, anchoring me to a moment I never want to end. And just when I think it's over, he pulls away just enough to look at me. His thumb traces the damp trail of tears down my cheek. He doesn't say anything. He just leans in again, and kisses them away. One by one. My tears. My pain. My silence. All kissed away by a boy who didn't come to save me because someone sent him. He came because he chose to.

I never planned to fall for him. Then again, I never planned for any of this. One look, one text, one mistake - and suddenly I'm tangled in something I can't undo. Malik knows the version of me I let him see. The calm one. The careful one. But there's someone else who sees more. Someone who shouldn't mean anything... but does. The lines are blurring. The truth is twisting. And I can't tell if I'm falling in love - or falling apart. But this story isn't just about them. It's about me - trying to hold on to who I am when everything around me is changing. My best friends who've seen me at my lowest and still show up anyway. The late-night talks that turn into laughter, the fights that leave bruises on the heart, and the kind of loyalty that only comes from growing up together. It's about figuring out how to be honest - with them, with him, and with myself. Because somewhere between love, mistakes, and the mess we call growing up... I'm just trying to find me.

Lemonade After Midnight (COMPLETED) by Faisal_Writes

-I didn't mean to fall for him. But I never really stood a chance, did I?- Misty has a boyfriend. Brandon's safe, sweet, and exactly the kind of guy you settle down with. They've been together for over two years-no drama, no heartbreak, no chaos. Just... comfort. So when she starts noticing someone else, she tells herself it's nothing. But then Fabian happens. The boy with the checkered shirt and a stakeboard. The one who calls her "Red" with a teasing grin and makes her laugh in ways Brandon never quite could. He's also her friend's boyfriend-and completely, irrevocably off-limits. When Misty is invited to a birthday party that changes everything, it starts as harmless glances, casual banter, and late-night study sessions. But comfort turns into confusion, and her steady, quiet life begins to unravel thread by thread. Suddenly, Brandon's hand in hers feels wrong, and Fabian's silence feels louder than anything else. Lines blur. Secrets build. And guilt becomes a constant hum in the back of her throat. She doesn't mean to fall. Not for the guy who's taken. Not while she's already in love-right? But some people crash into your world like a storm. And others? They leave quietly... taking pieces of you with them. Now, Misty's left with one question echoing louder than ever before: What if the love of your life was never yours to begin with?

Love, Lies & Immortal Ties - Whitby Shadows Series Book 1 by CJLaurence

I moved to Whitby expecting my days to be filled with grief and heartache while I watched my father die. But turns out the town has much more to offer a teenage girl like me. His name is Marcus Davenport. Rich. Powerful. Admired by the locals. Not. Human. If I were smart, I would have run the other way when I realized what he was. But there's this undeniable pull between us, a heartbeat that brings us both to life whenever we're together. I convinced myself it was fate drawing lines in the sand, the beginning of a love story that would end with forever. But I was wrong. Turns out the blood running through my veins is tied to Marcus in a way that corrupts everything we feel for each other. It's no longer something I can trust. Nothing is as it seems. The paranormal residents of Whitby altered my reality forever, and now I'm caught in a web of dark secrets and deadly deceits. The future is more uncertain than it has ever been, and I have no idea what's going to happen between Marcus and me. Oh, and then there's Luke, another one of this town's little secrets...and one huge complication.

"I'd be lying if I said that I don't dream of a wedding like this anymore.. Sometimes in my dreams I see her.. stunning a white dress with her hair tied up in an elegant bun, I take her hand and help her go down with me to exchange the marriage vows and not just our hearts but our last names become one.. We dance as our laughter fill the place under the sun, She says yes to me announcing to the entire world that out of everyone I was her choice.. We promise each other to stay together through the sorrows before joys She then whispers to my ear with some words that I fail to hear because of all the noise, but the feeling of her breath alone makes me fail to keep my poise.. And when everyone gets back to their lives after gathering to rejoice with us.. I get her to be all mine.. as this thought floods my mind, I cross all the lines.. When we finally get to once again intertwine. In my dreams.. everything is heartwarming just like the smile she gave me the very first time we talked.. in my dreams everything is perfect just like her.. My only love, my fairytale.."

Never A Choice by RoseberryShine29

"No matter the choices I'm given, it'll always be you, Aurie." He was her best friend, her safe place, her everything-the one person who shared the weight on her shoulders. Every laugh, every secret whispered in the night, every quiet moment that stitched to the fabric of her heart made her feel like the world belonged only to them. But then, in the blink of an eye, he chose someone else. Her world crumbles down. Unaware of the truth behind his decision, Aurora Everhart is left to face the hollow ache of losing him. But as fate pulls her between love and heartbreak, she can't shake the question that still haunts her, 'Was I ever really a choice?' "No one shielded me from the storm the way you did, Ronnie. But now you're leaving me alone with nothing to cover myself." His whole world revolved around her, his only best friend, the one person he thought he knew better than anyone else. He understood her every laugh, every whisper, every unspoken thought...but never the secret she had kept so carefully hidden from him, just as his own heart held truths he hadn't fully understood. Bounded by a promise and terrified of the truth buried deep inside that he refuses to acknowledge, he's forced to choose someone else and leave his Aurie alone in the storm. Will he ever be able to win her back, even after the choices he's made? The two promises that tore his life apart- the one that he still upholds and the other that he failed to keep- whisper words of desolation in his ear: 'I promise to keep you happy, I promise to... marry you' and 'I promise, my baby strawberry, if I'm ever lost, I'll always find my way back to you.' We often think the heart and the brain are at odds, but in their tale, we get to know that hearts themselves are their own fiercest contradictors - stubborn, unrelenting, and impossible to ignore.

The Deadman ✔ by whoscountinganyway

DIABOLIC SERIES 3 All my life I've lost my breath. It would happen over the simplest things, if I stretched too high to catch a ball, lifted something for too long, if I sneezed, if I talked. Other times I would loose my breath because I had a panic attack, or was yelling or being yelled at, if I was exerting myself on a physical level. Having the wind knocked out of me is a familiar feeling. But I didn't truly know what it felt like to loose the air in my lungs, loose the feeling that has kept my alive my entire life. I didn't loose it when I fell in love, I didn't loose it when I found out one drunken night with the girl I love would mean a baby, I didn't loose it when I found out that I'd actually be a father. No, I lost that when she told me that she doesn't love me. When she spit in my face how much she can't stand me, how I've ruined her life, that she doesn't want me in any aspect. I'm not her 'type' whatever that means, seeing as she quite willingly had sex with me. Her saying this made this ugly, lonely and depressing thought hit my diaphragm. Violet Thompson is carrying my child. And she despises me for it. The way I came to this conclusion was simple, Nonnie- -that's what I call her, since her middle name's Noel and I wanted something to call her that if I shouted it in the middle of a crowd, only she would turn to and know it's me- -told me that all she wants is someone there. A father for her baby, a physical presence. Not a mind, personality. Not a person. A body. A shell. I've been a dead man walking. And I was that shell, was just a body... until I found him.
