"Life had made us play the role of the vilain of our own stories, that I would be the reason of all your suffering and you the reason of mine until we found no other way out than one and an other.
I believe we are done playing now. I was never a good actress anyway. "

Fate had decided to unite their two red string six years later, when they were just strangers. Well, "stranger" wasn't the right word actually. They had something to do with one and the other. One had lost her mother and the other was accused of murder. For one, it was homicide, for the other, assisted suicide.

You Talk Too Much
Nicolas didn't want friends. Didn't want attention. Definitely didn't want her. But then Lina sat next to him. Every. Single. Day. She talked through the awkward silences, laughed at her own jokes, and asked questions he never answered. She was chaos in sneakers and bubblegum lip gloss - and he wanted nothing to do with her. ...Until he did. Because somehow, her noise started drowning out the thoughts he didn't know how to escape. And her voice became the only thing that made the silence bearable. This isn't a love story. Not at first. This is a story about a boy who lost his spark... And the girl who wouldn't let him disappear quietly. ✅ Nicolas ✅ Lina ✅ "You Talk Too Much" ✅ High school setting ✅ Healing + chaos + slow-burn (Btw I forgot to add that there will be no smut of any kind in this story. Maybe an innocent kiss or something but nothing else)

The Choices I've Made (By the Bay #1)
Twelve years ago, he drove away with my heart in his hands. I've moved on since then. Or so I thought. Growing up in a small town, there weren't too many options when it came to friends. But, even in a sea of a million, I'd always choose Jake Jameson. I felt safe with him. Safe with my secrets, my dreams and eventually - my heart. I thought we'd have forever together. That was a long time ago. I thought I'd forgotten those piercing blue eyes and the sound of his laugh. I tried to obliterate the memory of his touch from my mind. But, one single glance, as he stands at my door, twelve years later, and I'm suddenly transported back to a simpler time when love was easy, and my heart was whole. The problem? I'm marrying his best friend.Complete
Love Misunderstood
I only ever met one man I'd call truly noble. He was a man who was misunderstood and worthy of the world, yet everyone saw him differently. That was until I saw his true colours. The more I caught his eye the more he noticed me. We would pass each other, I would always stare a little longer at his back, wondering his story. People used to move out of the hallways if they saw him approaching whereas people would come and talk to me. He kept to himself, I was never alone, he had no friends, I was friends with everyone, I never saw him talk to anyone I spoke to many. we were polar opposites. At least that's what I thought until that day in the library, that is where I will start this story. Everyone is different, I hate the word "different", I much prefer the word unique. Unique is the only way to describe him. This is not just a story about love, it is about helping two souls who act differently but are the same on the inside, it shows the messy parts that aren't shown in movies, the tragedy, and the comedy but most of all the sizzling romance between two broken people who became one. Who is this story about? Caden James. But this is not just his story, It is ours.Complete

Tomorrow's Blues
~"You don't- you don't need me." I stared in shock. This was the first shred of emotion he'd shown since he started avoiding me, and I had no idea how to respond. What was I supposed to say to something like that? So I let myself be honest, and I told him exactly how I felt. "But I do." I almost choked on my words. "I do need you. I can't talk to anybody else. I can't eat. I can't sleep. And I know you know what that's like."~ Liliana is now an orphan.
