Something About You by bymimipark

Living with her caring but overprotective uncle, rebuilding trust with her brother, and hiding the scars of her past. It feels like surviving, not living. Then, she meets Miles Jasper. Messy-haired, music-obsessed, frustratingly patient Miles. The boy who plays his hurt into a guitar and sees right through her defences. He's everything she never thought she deserved: steady, kind, and stubborn enough to stay even when she pushes him away. But love can't erase the past... and Astra's past isn't done with her yet. A raw, hopeful YA romance about mental health, music, hope, healing, messy families, complicated love, and two teens learning how to breathe again. - Content Warning: This story contains themes of self-harm, suicide, childhood abuse, past trauma, sex, and addiction.

Her Nobody by heart-incisions

Kale Jameson is just your typical 18 year old boy. Just like the other teenagers, he wakes up everyday with a groan, curses teachers mentally, submits projects late, or never does it at all. But hey, he's popular. He's one of the most sought after guys in school. Well, he's not only nice, but has the looks, the body, and brains to match. Kale always thought that he'd graduate without experiencing anything that would make his boring life interesting and more exciting, but when Jewel Ford barged into his life, she did a hell of a lot more than that. A whole lot more. - Cover is not mine, I just edited it. Credits to the owner! :) -

After We Fall by dr3amyxreads

Autumn doesn't talk about what happened last summer. Not at school. Not in therapy. Not even to Kiana, her best friend since forever. Because if she says it out loud - that Kado is gone - it might make it real. Kado was never supposed to leave. He was the boy with the soft smile, the loud laugh, and the heart that always made room for her. From scraped knees on the playground to slow dances and whispered I love yous, they were building something that felt unbreakable. Until it broke. Now, months after his death, Autumn is left sifting through memories that blur the line between first love and last chances. Grief wraps itself around her like fog - heavy, quiet, and everywhere. Therapy feels useless. Her friends feel distant. And the version of herself she used to know feels like a stranger.

I love him, but everyone worships the air he breathes and it's suffocating. After a traumatic experience with a quarterback three years ago, I want nothing to do with boys and dating. All that matters is getting into college, so I ace my classes and sign up for my school's student ambassador program to boost my applications. Thankfully, I have my best friend, Harper, to get me through high school being overshadowed by my brother. My plans for a quiet, low-key senior year are destroyed when my brother's cocky, arrogant rival keeps butting into my life. Logan Hightower is a total player who expects me to drool at his feet while he uses me to burn my brother's game. If he thinks I'll fall for his gorgeous looks and shallow charms, he's totally mistaken. He'll never succeed because I hate football players.
