BOND BY FLAMES:/ BILLIE EILISH
"You can fall in love again, Billie. I don't mind. I want you happy." She lifts my chin so our eyes meet. "I don't wanna fall in love again," I whisper, my voice shaking. "Why?" she breathes, eyes searching mine. I stay quiet for a moment. Then finally, softly: "Because you still love me," I say. "And I see it, B. Don't deny it." I take her hands gently. She drops her gaze, and a tear falls straight onto my fingers. "Just admit you still love me," I whisper again. "Billie... this isn't about me. It's about you. I want you to move on and let someone love you." "No," I whisper. She shakes her head quickly. "I don't deserve you." "Why? 'Cause I'm famous?" I ask. She lets out a shaky laugh. "I've dated the famous you." "'Cause I'm weak?" I ask again. She grabs my hand tighter, pulling it onto her lap. "Hey, no... you-" She stops, breathing hard, eyes locked on mine. "I'm just... I'm fucked up, Billie. You have no idea." Her voice cracks. "I'm a bad person. I killed. I robbed. I betrayed you-" "You never betrayed me," I cut her off immediately. She shakes her head like she can't even hear me. "I wouldn't want someone I love to date someone like me. I'm scary." "I'm scary," she repeats, quieter... like she's confessing something poisonous. Like she's warning me. Like she honestly thinks I should run. But I don't move. I don't even blink. "Then why," I whisper, leaning in just slightly, "why do I feel safer with you than with anyone else?" --- *********** a/n: Hey y'all - English isn't my first language, so sorry in advance for any grammar mistakes.

Book 1 of 2 There is no doubt that this story is about love, but romance might be a smaller part of it. This story is about love in all of its different disguises. It's about friends and family who would burn the world for each other, and family who would burn the world to be away from one another. But mainly, this story is about Rose living out her last year in high school with all of its difficulties and hardships and love and acceptance and weird teachers and mythical creatures. And even after all of that, you're still mainly searching for romance? Fine. One of Rose's hardships is the undeniable truth that she's in love with her best friend, but her best friend doesn't love her back...right?Complete

always been you - second chance wlw romance
This book may NOT be reproduced, reposted, copied, or translated in any way unless you receive permission directly from the author. Felicity Rose Bennett has everything the world thinks she wants-chart-topping songs, magazine covers, fans who call her perfect. But the world doesn't know she's hiding. Burned out, suffocated by fame, and haunted by a stalker no one else knows about, Felicity flees to her mothers' quiet Toronto lake house just to breathe for the first time in years. She doesn't expect Harriet Johnson to walk through the door with a suitcase and a key. Harriet has spent the last four years running from her past-alcohol addiction, heartbreak, and the memory of the only girl she's ever loved. Sober now and fighting her way through med school, she only wanted a quiet summer. She didn't know Felicity would be here. She didn't know that sharing a roof again would feel like falling into a storm she thought she'd survived. They were childhood best friends turned teenage lovers-until Harriet broke Felicity's heart in the worst possible way. Now they're twenty-two, trapped by old history and new secrets, in the same house that once held their whispered dreams and first kisses. The deal is simple: her side, my side. But nothing about Felicity and Harriet has ever been simple. Not the history, not the wanting, not the way every look feels like a dare and every brush of skin threatens to set them both on fire. In the thick of July, in a house full of memories, two girls who once had everything will have to decide if second chances are worth the risk-and if loving each other is worth surviving for.Complete
