Head injury that would result in my inability to return to work and subsequently let go of my position. A turn of my luck I decided to refocus my purpose in earning my keep in where I am living.

The Trap (Trapped Prequel)
Looking back, I should have seen it coming. Paige didn’t like that I went so far away to university. But it was going to only be for two years. She'd join me after she did her two years at community college. I thought we could swing that no problem. We were solid. But she hated the distance. She hated not seeing me every day. She complained that I didn’t come home enough. She hated that for months on end, texting and phone calls were our only form of communication. It wasn’t enough. She'd ask about the girls on campus. She’d gotten it into her head that girls were always making a play for me. I laughed and told her, even if that were true, I’d never cheat on her. She didn't seem completely reassured by that. The bottom line is, Paige thought she was losing me. She wanted me home with her. But I could never imagine the level she'd sink to—the trap she’d set to make that happen. And like an idiot I walked right into it. And it’s a mistake I'm going to have to pay for the rest of my life.Complete
Liam Payne x reader
Hi, my name is Rose. I'm nineteen years old, and right now, I'm in college, trying to figure out who I am and where I belong in this big, confusing world. On the outside, I probably look like any other student rushing to classes, juggling assignments, and pretending I have everything under control. But inside, things feel a little more complicated. Not too long ago, I went through a breakup with my ex-boyfriend, Noah. He was my first love, the person I thought I could trust, and losing him left me feeling like I'd lost a part of myself. For a while, it was hard to breathe without thinking of him, hard to walk around campus without expecting him to appear around the corner. Some days I still catch myself remembering the way he laughed or the way he said my name, and those memories tug at me, even when I wish they wouldn't. But life has a funny way of moving forward, even when you feel like you're standing still. A few weeks after Noah and I ended things, someone new arrived on campus-Liam Payne. He's nothing like Noah. Where Noah always felt familiar and safe, Liam feels exciting, unpredictable, almost like a spark that catches you off guard. He has this presence that makes people turn their heads when he walks into a room, but it isn't just his looks-it's the way he carries himself, confident yet kind. I didn't mean to notice him as much as I did. At first, I thought it was just a harmless crush, the kind you get when you're trying to distract yourself from heartbreak. But the more I saw him, the harder it was to look away. Something about Liam makes me curious, like there's a whole story written across his smile, and I want to know every chapter. So here I am: Rose, nineteen, a little bruised from love, a little hopeful for something new, and maybe-just maybe-ready to let my heart take another chance.Complete
