You wanna know the weirdest thing about heartbreak? It can happen at anytime.
Doesn't matter who you are, what you've done in life, what you believe.
It'll happen.
And to some people, it happens more often than needed.
It often is the same as a moth and light.
You know that when you reach something so detrimental, it'll hurt you more than satisfy you. It could even kill you.
Yet you still fly towards it. It seems so perfect. It guides your way, the way it does for other people. Everyone else goes to the light, so why shouldn't you?
But when you finally get there, it's like the entire world is drowning you in shame and regret. Everything around you burns and your body is deteriorating around you. Some people have the right of mind to get away from it for a while.
But for people like us?
We stay there until it all disappears. Till we fall off the edge...
Then it all goes black.

"the way back to us"
They met as kids-classmates until the fourth grade-where he had a quiet crush on her before she transferred schools. Years later, fate brought them back together in high school. What started as friendship quickly turned into something deeper, and for four years, they were inseparable. They had plans, dreams, and a love that felt unshakable. Until the day she broke up with him and disappeared from his life without a single explanation. Years passed, but the unanswered questions never left him. Neither did the feelings. He tried to move on, to forget, but no one ever came close to being what she was to him. And just when he thought he'd finally buried the past, she came back-this time, as his fiancΓ©e in a marriage neither of them chose. She tells herself it's just duty. He tells himself he's over it. But the past lingers between them, unspoken and unresolved. The tension simmers, the familiarity remains, and despite everything, so does the pull between them. He fell first. And even after all these years, he never truly stopped. She thought walking away once was hard-she never imagined falling again would be even harder.

The lover who swore to find me, no matter the body, no matter the time. In every lifetime, I met her. In every lifetime, I fell for her. And in every lifetime, I lost her. But what did I feel in those moments? When I first lost her in the forests of Old England, heart unprepared?

When I walked the neon streets of a cyberpunk future, unaware I was already hers? When I shattered the world to give us a second chance? This is my story. My love. My pain. My fate.Complete

She's a wild, free spirit who sees the good in everyone, and he's the hardened, bad-tempered loner who wants nothing to do with her-yet no matter how hard he tries to push her away, she's the one temptation he can't escape. *** He's never met someone with such a bubbly personality. Not to mention the wildness and odd phrases she says every five minutes. He hates it. He hates how he can't stay away from it. He hates what she does to him; it's not like him to chase after some girl. She gets under his skin like no other. She's never met someone with such a bad attitude. He's ill-mannered and menacing. The glare never seems to leave his face. Considering it all, she can't help but feel the attraction toward him. Dangerous attraction toward a seemingly dangerous man. Maybe it's the tattoos on his arm that gets her attention. Or maybe it's because she can tell there's hope for good under his rough exterior. And she's about to find it, whether he likes it or not. It's no secret that the two of them are complete and total opposites. *** "You like being called Sugar, don't you?" I tease, placing my toothbrush back after finishing. He does the same and gives me a side-eyed scowl. He grips my chin harshly and kisses me. My body temperature raises a good ten degrees and my right leg goes all wiggly. He pulls away. "You like it when I kiss you, don't you?" He teases the same way I did to him and I'm left blubbering. "I think both of our questions are rhetorical," I lower my voice up at him. His lip curls up into a smirk. *** #1 in Young Adult #9 in Badboy #1 in Cold #3 in Goodgirl #1 in Sweetheart #14 in Love *** *Warning* This story contains mature themes (language, scenes)Complete
