Metanoia
(n.) the journey of changing one's mind, heart, self, or way of life 
  
Rylee, a typical eighteen-year-old girl, was riding the bus back home from the library. There she meets Ethan. Their relationship is going great, but Rylee has an obstacle slowing her and Ethan's relationship from developing. Is Rylee going to be able to overcome it for the sake of her love, or is this going to be the reason for their downfall?
   
"Hey, I don't think we met properly yesterday, so I'm going to introduce myself again." He holds out his hand. "I'm Ethan, what's your name stranger that I definitely didn't meet on the bus yesterday?"
  
I softly chuckled, and shook his hands, "I'm Rylee nice to meet you stranger that I totally didn't meet yesterday."
  
"You know yesterday when I said that hopefully we would meet soon I didn't expect it to be this soon," he teased, making heat rise to my cheeks.
  
"I don't know what you're talking about I've never seen you before," I joke
  
He rubs his chin with his hands, "You know what I think you're right. I definitely got you mixed up with someone else."

Worth The Wait  by SmutKitten90
7 parts Ongoing
Ethan was a typical 19-year-old, full of dreams and aspirations, navigating the uncertain waters of young adulthood at Job Corps. Surrounded by a diverse group of peers all striving for a better life, he found an unexpected connection with Olivia, a spirited girl with an infectious laugh and a warmth that drew him in like a moth to a flame. Their friendship blossomed amidst the challenges of daily life at the center-study sessions turned into late-night talks, shared meals transformed into laughter-filled moments, and soon, a deep bond began to form. But beneath the surface of their budding romance lay a heavy secret that Ethan had kept hidden from everyone, including Olivia: a child he had fathered at a time when he was still trying to find himself. As their relationship deepened, so did Ethan's internal struggle. The joy of falling in love clashed with the fear of revealing his past-a past that haunted him, casting shadows over every moment they spent together. Each time Olivia looked at him with those bright, trusting eyes, Ethan felt the weight of his secret pressing down harder. He grappled with the decision of whether to share his truth, knowing that it could change everything. As Ethan navigated the complexities of their new-found love, the question lingered in his mind: Was it worth the risk of losing Olivia to finally be honest about who he was? In a world where love seemed just within reach, could he find the courage to confront his past and embrace a future with the girl who made him feel alive again?

In which I fall in love with my brother's best friend. ***** "Don't pretend like you don't feel anything." His voice is low, sending shivers down my spine. "What do you mean?" "You know damn well what I mean." "I don't know what you're talking about." I pretend to ignore him, flipping some pages in my book. "Come on. I have all these assignments waiting. Aren't you supposed to teach me tonight?" "It depends on what you want me to teach." He smirks, his voice sounding even more dangerous. ***** I thought that my brother was the most popular guy in school, but as soon as I step into my university life, I realize how wrong I was. Meet Vaughn Cooper, his best friend. The guy is the epitome of every girl's dream. Godlike handsome. The quarterback. He's got the looks, and he's got the brain. Come on, he's got the scholarship to one of the most prestigious universities in the country, while I have just barely passed the entrance examination after long years of struggle during high school. How could a guy who worked that hard and deserves nothing more but adoration be labeled as a bad boy? Yeah, the answer is simple. The moment we lock eyes, I realize something as I stare into those piercing, amber eyes. He's not every girl's dream. He's every girl's nightmare. In my case, MY nightmare. Calm down, heart.

how far would you go . . . for someone you love? ♔ Levi steps forward, placing himself between me and Jack. Like he's protecting me from him. But I don't need protecting, certainly not from Jack. "Who do you think you are, dude?" Levi spits, getting in Jack's face. "Look, Scarlett was just helping me out with a proj-" "I'm not your dude," Jack bites, and I want to tear my hair out of my head. This is going downhill very fast. Jack turns to me. "Scar, we need to talk," he says lowly. Then loud enough for Levi to hear, "So can you please get this kid to leave." "Hey, you don't get to come in here and start ordering her around," Levi says harshly. "You don't control her." "And you think that you do?" Jack spits. ♔ When Scarlett moved off to college, she hoped to start anew and find her way in this world alone. Two problems. One: her older brother goes to the same college, and it seems like he's everywhere, keeping her from doing everything she hoped to do as a college freshman. Two: her brother's devastatingly handsome best friend also seems hell-bent on ruining her college experience . . . but in a different way. Their paths keep crossing, and Scarlett is reminded of the powerful attraction that they've both ignored for far too long. Not to mention, a new face begins to occupy everyday Scarlett's thoughts. When Scarlett is paired with an allusive, darkly handsome stranger for a film project, her world begins to open in ways she never thought possible. But as his mystery unravels into dark secrets, she wonders if she's falling a bit too hard. Before long, Scarlett is forced to realize that balancing the hearts of two boys at once just might result in the breaking of her own.

~Her words were my poison. I used them to consume myself. Disturbingly honest. Painfully strained. Carefully penned down. Dangerously addictive.~ A journal that landed in the right hands and told a whole story with words, no lips could speak. Two people bound by the pages of a book that tore their souls apart. He found it lying around and wondered what could go wrong. He didn't recognise the handwriting but he knew he instantly fell in love with it. Then it began. The assault of words on his life. He couldn't believe a word she wrote but somehow he did. He knew more about her than anyone else but he knew so little about who she was... It was maddening. How someone could have such an impact on you without having a single conversation with you. Her precious words tortured his existence, they drowned him in misery, created a black hole of words around him, gave him everything he needed to live. Made him fall in love. Gave him a world of his own. Made him believe in rainbows, unicorns, coffee, the basis of happiness, the meaning of every sunrise, the mystery of every deep ocean, she made him human. He knew he had to find her. He had to find out who she was. He had given him all the clues he needed but none of them were enough to prepare him for who she was. But sometimes... The journey is more important than the destination. Sometimes, the journey is the destination. A book full of stolen pages and a boy full of curiosity. This was how he let her shape his story. __________________ Description inside. Italics = Journal entry. 500 word chapters. Okay, so I don't know if you want to read it yet but it would mean the world to me if you could give it a shot.
