Elara Marie Sebastian never believed in fate-until she spilled her coffee on a stranger's sketchbook and met August Rivera. What started as playful banter in a café turned into late-night walks under streetlights, laughter in the rain, and stolen kisses that made the world stop spinning. With August, ordinary days felt like magic, and for the first time, Elara thought she had found her forever.
But forever, it seemed, had an expiration date.
As August begins pulling away, secrets unravel-missed dates, broken promises, and the truth Elara never saw coming: August was never hers to keep. With time slipping through their fingers, they cling to each other desperately, caught between love that feels infinite and a reality determined to tear them apart.
In the end, Elara must face the cruelest question of all:
"What do you do when the love of your life can't stay, no matter how tightly you hold on?"
"Maybe he was never mine to keep. But for one August, he was my everything."

THE ART OF AK
"Beautiful things don't ask for attention." In a world that thrives on conformity, August is an anomaly. Raised in a secretive overbearing family, she was chosen to leave its hidden grounds-not for freedom, but for duty. Sent to college to become the strategic mind for her generation behind the family's growing empire, she tries to move through the world like a ghost, draped in gothic shadows with secrets too heavy to share but her style is just too much to go unnoticed by judging eyes unscathed. Then she meets Kason through his older brother. A rising rapper with a reckless charm and a hunger for something real, dealing with battles of his own, he's instantly drawn to August's eerie demeanor and the quiet storm that lingers behind her dark mysterious eyes. She's nothing like the women he's used to-unbothered by trends, and untouched by the need for validation. The more she resists, the deeper he falls, his infatuation turning into an obsession he can't shake. One he cant let go of. As their worlds collide, the slow burn of their connection threatens to ignite everything August has been taught to suppress. With her past closing in and expectations pressing down, she must decide if she's willing to defy everything she's ever known for the chance at something dangerously real. In a society that demands she fit a mold, August stands in defiance. Unfortunately, love has a way of making even the strongest question their silence.

Mended by Whisper
Elara never expected much from a blind date until Ethan walked into her life. Simple at tahimik si Elara, pero sa likod ng maluluwag na damit at mahahabang buhok ay isang ganda at karisma na hindi agad nakikita ng lahat. At sa unang tingin pa lang, alam niyang may kakaiba sa paraan ng pagtingin sa kanya ni Ethan. They built a friendship that felt almost too perfect, coffee dates, late-night phone calls, secret laughs only they understood. Pero sa bawat araw na lumilipas, isang lihim ang pilit na itinatago ni Elara: ang unti-unti niyang pagkahulog sa lalaking maaaring hindi kailanman kanya. When fate takes a darker turn, a love meant to be a blessing becomes a curse. Secrets, blame, and heartbreak threaten to destroy the fragile bond they've built. At the end of it all, one question remains: Would Ethan ever give Elara the same love she has selflessly given him-or is she destined to remain just a shadow in his heart?Complete

Would these two completely independent people, go past their hatred for each other and depend on that one chance brought to them? *** "I just got started. Wait and watch how I ruin your entire existence." He narrows his eyes at me, challenging me to come at him. "Are you sure you didn't just walk into the wall when you were young? You seem to have had your head hit pretty bad considering the consequential brain cells loss." I say while crossing my arms over my chest to get my point across. "Take care of those heavy words, blondie. You might just have to pay for them." That seemed to anger him so I smirked even more, despite him calling me blondie. Trust me, I've got that a lot. "It's okay, I anyways don't deal with cheap stuff like you." I throw him the most sarcastic smile I could ever muster. Told you it's a love-hate relationship. A humorous non-cliché story with absolute madness, relatable characters, lots of laughter and lots of conflicting emotions from Summer and Caleb. Warning: contains some abusive content. Written by a 16-year-old who has no idea on how to write all this.

"Her troubled eyes held fire. The kind of fire that was capable of burning me to ash." ***** I grabbed her chin with my free hand, making her look at me. "I hate that I don't know you. I hate not being a part of your life, like I was before." I leaned a little closer, as her intoxicating scent filled my lungs. "Trust me, I can't hate you, no matter how hard I tried." "So you have... " It came out as more of a question than a statement from her as she looked at me with her big blue eyes. "What?" I frowned, dropping my hand from her chin and grabbing her hand, instead. "You have tried hating me then?" She asked, tilting her head to the side. This time it sounded more like a statement than a question. "I have." I sighed, dropping my head in shame. "And it made me lose the most important person in my life." ***** One night.
