His Heart to Love
"Been about you, since I met you and imma keep it that way" You're special to me. You're the only one who I wouldn't mind losing sleep for, the only one who I can never get tired of talking to, and the only one who crosses my mind constantly throughout the day. You're the only one who can make me smile without trying, bring down my mood without the intention to and affect my emotions with every action of yours. I can't explain with just words how much you mean to me, but you're the only one I'm afraid of losing and the one I want to keep in my life. So, please don't leave me. ~April 18, 2021 ~July 21, 2021 Rankings: #4 in mentaldisorder 9/16/2021 #6 in highschoolsweethearts 9/16/2021 #38 in urban 9/16/2021 #14 in blacklove 9/16/2021 #5 in angerissues 9/16/2021 #12 in urbanromance 9/16/2021 #3 in bwbm 9/16/2021 #20 in contemporarylit 9/16/2021 #29 in urbanstory 9/16/2021 #2 in africanamerican 9/16/2021Complete

I'm just a baby writer, so please be kind to me! 😆 Even if you don't comment or vote, please at least view the story. It would mean the world to me! So thanks for your support, and here's hoping you enjoy my writing! 🤗 Just so you know, this story is focused on school life, so there aren't a ton of characters. It's a simple story, Despite her plus-size figure, Faith had big dreams of becoming a singer and model. She believed that her voice was beautiful and that it could capture anyone's heart, including the boy she had been crushing on for two years. But no matter how hard she tried, he never seemed to notice her. Instead, he manipulated her by using her talent for his own gain and then left her behind. Feeling betrayed and heartbroken, Faith withdrew from school, unsure of what to do next. The humiliation and insults were too much for Faith to bear. As she struggled to recover from the betrayal, she swore to herself that she would have her revenge. Determined to reinvent herself, she underwent surgery to change her appearance and began plotting how to get back at her former crush. As she carried out her plan, she couldn't help but wonder if her feelings for him were still there. And what if he still hated her? Would she regret her decision to change herself? Or would they somehow find a way to be together again? © All Right ReservedComplete
