Synopsis: 
The regret hits her only after 17-year-old Ivy realizes that she's falling for him again, though she knew that he used to love her when she didn't feel the same way. While Ivy was feeling a bit hopeless after she changed schools, moved to the city and cut ties with everyone, several odd and unintended incidents that would make Malcolm appear into her life again kept occuring, again and again.

Later in the book: After meeting each other again at age 19, it's clear that things aren't the same as before. No more school-drama, gossiping and immature choices as they take a step closer to adulthood. Now realizing that their lives ended up in different paths, their love is supposed to be fought for as they continue facing the difficulties and potentially life-threatening dangers of the world.

...

The wound from an arrow shot is painful. But what makes Cupid's any more different? 
It all eventually leads to something even more painful than a wound.
We can't forget about jealousy, obsession, rejection and so on.

How can someone want to avoid falling in love, but fail to dodge the arrow? Even worse, when two people don't get shot at the same time, not leaving the feelings mutual and balanced. I'm impatient, we can't wait for one another each something year. 

I've been shot multiple times now, switching my attention from person to person. However the affect of the same wound still comes and goes after several years, making it hard for you to get out of my head. I dislike it. But I guess I just need to forget all about it.All Rights Reserved

Whispers of our Hearts (gxg) by thegayykid

Hazel and Ivy are inseparable-best friends in a small town where any deviation from the norm is critically viewed. Their friendship has seen them through the ups and downs of adolescence, but when deep connection unexpectedly turns into tender feelings, their worlds are thrown into turmoil. Hazel is unsure of her feelings-friendship or love? Ivy knows what she wants, but fear of the unknown and the reactions of her conservative surroundings hold her back. Amidst family tensions and societal expectations, the two struggle to understand what they truly feel for each other. But how does one deal with feelings that could destroy everything that has mattered to them so far? How can they find their way when the love that draws them together is simultaneously seen as the greatest crime? ----- Excerpt: "Are you sure we're ready for this, I mean, that between us, you and me?" she asked softly as my gaze swept over the shimmering surface of the river. "What if someone finds out?" I gently placed my hand on her arm. "Sometimes you have to take a risk to find out what really matters," I said, my voice a whisper in the evening breeze. "I know it's complicated, but I can't ignore these feelings any longer. I want you to know how I feel-not just as a friend, but as something more." I felt my heart race. I could barely grasp the pain and joy in Hazel's eyes. The moment was so intense it felt as if it could stop time. ----- Trigger Warnings: Forbidden Love Family Conflicts Emotional Strain Loss of a Loved One Suicide Societal Pressure and Stigmatization Homophobia ----- English isn't my first language, therefore, there may be some spelling and grammatical mistakes

He's a dangerous man despite his calm and aloof appearance and it doesn't help that he has a huge bounty on his head. Levi gets shot taking down a huge crime syndicate and that's pretty much how he envisions his life ending. Surprisingly, Simone, a total stranger comes to his rescue and let's him hide out at her place, despite how it's destined not to work. Put together a man with a bounty on his head, a woman with too much to lose, throw in a healthy dose of trauma, teenagers, toddlers, sharing a bed with a stranger and you're bound to have a royal mess. Let's not forget the most important part, they can't fall for each other because that just takes the stakes up, you don't just wake up and get attracted to an assassin so you can be used as mafia bait, basically destined not to work. That's what this is, a mess that shouldn't work. But it does. And everything goes to shit because of it. A story about love, assassination, family and healing from trauma.

The Bad Boy Saved Me by Pentatonix21

Do you ever wonder what life would be like if it were a movie? Or some sappy romance novel that you wish your life could be like but it's not? Sometimes you may even get to caught up in the fictional world that you don't realise it IS fictional. Then when you do realise life isn't what you convinced yourself it would be, there is only one possible outcome. Depression. Which may lead to anxiety, self-harm, low self esteem, and worst of all, losing the people you love. Life works in weird ways. Not just for you but for others too. Take Cassidy Rivers for example. Her life is far from perfect. No parents, over protective big brother, few friends, and Asher Norman, the bad boy who won't stop picking on her. Could life get any worse for Cassidy?

Trying Not To Love (COMPLETED) by Books_and_nerds

I stepped forward and asked, "Where do you want me?" It took me a second to realize what I just said. Shit! I placed a hand on my crimson face and muttered, "Get your head out of the gutter! You know what I meant." He laughed, his voice sounded hoarse and deep even when he's laughing. I peeked at him from the gap I made between my fingers. He was close. So close. He grabbed my hand and took me to the bed. Damn! It did sound sexy. His shirt was loose. Too large for me, and it hung on me like a cloth hung on a hanger.

Hold Me Close (BxB) {COMPLETED}. ✔️ by ThanatosPatase23

Octaveus was depressed. He knew it, but no one else did. He hid it, just as he hid his scars. He wasn't human either; he hid that too. He hid almost everything about himself from everyone, in order to minimize the ridicule. His mental state, his thoughts, his scars, even his questionable sexuality. But that only fed into his sadness. Drew was insecure. He didn't like standing up for himself in fear of saying something wrong. He didn't even change in the main locker room for PE, he went in the stalls. He was anxious. He wanted to know what was happening and when so that he can prepare for all possible outcomes of that event. And he was gay; his family knew and supported him, but no one else knew. He was too scared of how they would react to tell them. Jessie knew his brother would be teased. It was really a fact. Humanity wasn't too good at accepting of different beings. No matter how human Octaveus made himself look, he couldn't hide his unnaturally pale skin that no matter how hard he tried would not tan or his yellow cat eyes. He just had to try to fit in, same as the rest of their family. Seth was the school bad boy, and secret werewolf. His hobbies included pushing around the Freshman, flirting relentlessly with any and every attractive popular girl in sight, and trying not to think about Octaveus. He didn't want other people to find out about his thoughts on the emo new kid. So, naturally, he made Octaveus's school day a living hell. But he still couldn't figure out why this new kid intrigued him so much, besides that he was obviously not human. {BOOK 1 OF THE 'Scars I Hide' SERIES} *CAUTION: Mature for scenes of self-harm and suicide, PG-13 language, graphic violence, and some sexual topics* IF YOU READ THIS, DO NOT SKIP THE INTRO. IT CONTAINS THE TRIGGER WARNINGS. Sequel: 'Don't Let Go' (Out now) {Forgive me for the horrible stuff in the beginning} [All chapters have been edited.] Cover by @AMTA0206

Liberation by seiaphe

"Listen, I've got a proposition for you," Azure's firm voice flew across the soft wind of the graveyard, "something mutually beneficial." Elliot stepped back slightly, "I doubt that." Azure stepped closer and the street light flickered; he then whispered, it was soft, like the fall of dead leaves, "I can help you keep your scholarship. Don't you want to keep your dream a reality?" Elliot narrowed his eyes, "Did you do a background check on me?" "That doesn't answer my question." "And that didn't answer mine." (Abridged) -/- Life had never been fair to Elliot. After barely managing to scrape by, he somehow made it to his junior year at Central Haven, one of the most prestigious preparatory high schools in the country. He was prepared for another two tiresome years of high school, but the future has other plans for him. The start of the school year brings with it the infamous Central Haven merit project. Unfortunately, it's done in pairs this year. Even worse, he's stuck with Azure, notorious for his flippant demeanor. His living situation gets worse and his scholarship is at risk. Azure notices Elliot's struggles and the two make a deal. Surely Azure's up to something, but what? Regardless, Elliot isn't in a position to refuse. ...Perhaps they'll find and lose Liberation. -/- If you're unsure about this reading this story, I hope you'll at least stick around to chapter 7 when the story begins ramping up. This story is a slow burn, enemies to friends to lovers. Please do not take this story at surface value as there is a lot of subtext. Be aware: the story can be extremely subtle. The story delves into various topics with social commentary so if you want a nuanced modern romance story, I highly suggest you give this story a try. Elliot is a strong protagonist, just less traditional. Updates will come on Fridays at 4 p.m. (PST) with most months having at least one update. The ending is planned so the story won't be incomplete.

It was gentle and soft, something I never expected from a guy like him. He moved his right hand from my cheek to my waist, tugging me against him, and molded our bodies together. A wave of electricity went down to my core when he licked my lips. "Open your mouth, Bella." His commanding husky voice against my lips jolted my heart, and I followed his order like a slave. With no control, a moan erupted from my throat as his tongue met mine. It was barely audible, but I knew he heard it when he smiled against my lips. He swept my hair from my face to my back and gathered them in his fist. He tugged my head back, deepening the kiss, and my heart thrashed in my chest. At that moment, I didn't need drugs to know what being high felt like because his lips were enough to send me on nine clouds. Just once and I was addicted to it. If this is how being kissed feels like, then fuck, I've wasted a lot of time. ~^~^~^~ FEATURED ON: @Romance (Romantic Suspense) HIGHEST RANKINGS: #1 Goodgirl, Darkpast #2 Badboy #5 Newadult
