"One argument led to one shove, one shove led to one bruise, and one bruise led to one sad apology. Sadly enough, a 'one argument' happened multiple times a day over nothing memorable. This happened 24/7. All day, every day. All night, every night."
Kenzley Shae loved Zander Hayes with her whole heart.
However, loving Zander hurt more than it did any good. Even with the big heart she had, it didn't get her adored, it got her used, especially by the person she loved most in this world.
Loving Zander through all the pain had her always hoping he would change into the man she had first fell in love with. Yet, a narcissist will take and take until you have nothing else to give but love. In the end, someone that only cares about themselves simply cannot love someone else.
She loved him with her whole heart but it was never enough for him. Too in love to leave, but too scared to stay. Traumatized to the point of never wanting to love again.
Full of triggering events, mental and physical abuse, lies he told, manipulation, begging for him the treat her right, gaslighting, stealing, drugs, and most of all a painful lesson in order to finally attempt to let go.
All these things making her burnt out of love.

"But I Want You,"
He thought he loved her. But in his world, love meant waiting. Watching. Wanting. Mudassir has always been haunted-by his father's control, by years of silence, and by the memory of a girl from university who never knew him more than just an acquaintance. Post-graduation, still trapped in emotional ruin, he finds her again... but not the way he hoped. She's changed. She's moved on. She's engaged. But not him. To him, if it runs-it means chase. As obsession festers, therapy rooms turn into battlegrounds. Kindness is mistaken for invitation. And the line between affection and control begins to disappear. When the past claws its way back into the present, what can truly be salvaged-and what was never real to begin with? This isn't a typical love story, but a descent of obsession, projection, and the danger of trying to fit someone into the shape of your wounds. He didn't just fall in love with her. He built a life around wanting her. ... In the book cover, that's me lol and is made and photographed by me. ... ⚠️ Trigger Warning: This story contains depictions of mental illness (depression, anxiety, OCD, narcissistic traits), suicidal ideation, emotional abuse, death threats, substance use, and toxic family dynamics.

IN LOVE.....WITH THE DEVIL HIMSELF. [Completed✔️]
His lips crushed on mine leaving no room for escape and l tried to move away but all l could do was to moan his name "Na (sigh) than." Damn why was my body not co-operating with me, just a little touch of his hands hand spirals of shivers moving all over my body. He lifts me up on his table and his hand just sent the papers on his table flying on the floor. It just had to happen, someone opened the door and my body jecks away from his and the face l saw just made matters worse. Words which came after even made matters worse "Well played son, l taught you well." What, what is that supposed to mean, l taught you well. Shit how could l be so dump and naive to think he would actually fall in love with me and not revenge on me The things inside your chest is real, it works so well that when exposed to such, it breaks into a million pieces. " Nicole, it's not what you think." The clinche statement that a woman is exposed to when the guy is in a controversial situation. And l found my body for once cooperating cause l suddenly found energy to walk out of the room. I HAD FALLEN IN LOVE..................

The Girl with No Emotions
I was just thinking. I swear. But maybe my mind over thought. It's weird that everything can seem so simple, straight forward. Black and white. Two colors. So obvious. So there. Him and Her. Two people. So obvious. So there. But once you add gray, things get kind of complicated. Then you add color. And it's a wonderfully complicated bright world. She's two in one. The storm and the shade. No one ever stops to thank the storm for shading them from what's above it. What if the sun was too strong, too powerful that day and the storm came along just to protect us all from it? It was this epic battle between the two and the storm was hurting and it cased all this damage to the earth. No one thanks the storm for its sacrifice when it finally loses the battle and the sun shows its smug face. We all hate the storm for the disaster it created and praise the sun, when the storm just wanted to protect us. The storm and the shade. She's the storm and the shade. She's the chaos and the calm. Only I can't see the chaos. Not fully. She's keeping it all inside. All I see is the calm. I can tell though. I can tell there's chaos. I just can't see it. It's not so black and white. It's not a simple boy likes girl. Girl likes boy. It never was. But I like her. I do. The storm and the shade.Complete

Her weight. Her life. She may have a slightly unhealthy relationship with food, but she's fine. At least, that's what she tells herself. Then he comes along - the one she swore she would never let in again. His mind is an enigma. But maybe he's not as bad as she thought. Or maybe he's even worse, she can't decide. As their senior year progresses, secrets become harder to keep in the dark. She's losing control. And so is he. But sometimes losing control is a good thing.
Perfectly Undone
!! Was Once Titled Coffee Break !! -- I teared up more because of Bry. "That's going to be us. We'll be the cute just married couple that can't be without each other." I held his hand and gave him a kiss. "You are too sweet for this world." I leaned into his shoulder and felt at home. "And yes, we will be that adorable married couple that can't get enough of each other." During the next couple hours. Dancing with him, being close to him, and watching him dance and act like a fool made me fall in love with him all again. I didn't want anything to change between us. I wanted to be the crazy couple that are complete goofballs and idiots when they had to be and I wanted to be that couple that was there for each other whenever. We were already there. So, let me tell you. It's absolutely amazing. -- Ellie was scared to love again. Bryant was the guy who fixed her.

Altered
Have you ever met someone who alters the course of your life? For good or for bad, they've come in, given and taken, and then- BOOM! Your life was never the same. There's always a change, an altering of reality. When you meet those people, the reality that you've known your whole life is suddenly gone and a new one has taken its place. When those moments happen, there's no going back. You can try to return to the way things were but nothing, and I mean nothing, can take you back to exactly how it was. That's what happened to us. I think that's why we're still trying so desperately to get back to some sort of normalcy. Four years later and we're still on the ground, crawling, in search of the happiness that was lost that June. Summers will never be the same. Midnight walks through my neighborhood will never be the same. Field parties with bonfires and loud music will never be the same. I still don't know why you left and what lead you to the decision you made. What I do know is that we're here. We're alive and we're pushing forward to the future. A future that you're not a part of. But in some ways, I'm glad you're not a part of it. I just wish it wasn't like this. *** TRIGGER WARNING*** SA, abuse, suicide, substance abuse, and mental illness. This is a complete story that is much like life; fast, full of surprises, and not always how we want it to be. This has been a project of mine for over three years. It was self-published on Amazon, but after some issues in publication, I decided to just upload it on here. I hope you fall in love with these characters like I have. The friends in this story are trying to make names for themselves, figure out who they are, who they can trust, how to love, and how to separate themselves from a restrictive community. As in any coming of age story, they will experience growing pains... but will they survive them before its too late? PLEASE READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS.Complete
