coming-of-age dialoguestory eli jelliot julie life love shortstory trailblazers wattys2016 youngadultreads

Elliot and Julia have a complicated relationship. Since they met in the seventh grade, the only heart-to-heart conversations they've had have been strictly over text. But they don't mind this lack of intimacy. If anything, they enjoy it.
              
  Don't think that this lack of heart-to-heart conversations mean they haven't had some, how should we say, interesting moments. Such as when Julia lost her virginity to Elliot. Yes, you read that correctly. It's a long story. It was just one time. Actually, it was four times. In one night. Once in the morning too. But it was just on one occasion. Okay, two occasions. It's a really really long story.
              	
  Basically this is just a long story of two people with a complicated, never fully defined, relationship. Well, it's not exactly the full story. This is just the highlights.

If Hearts Could Speak (UNEDITED) by PlushCollector

|"Sometimes the heart knows things the mind could never explain." -Ranjeet| We are teenagers. We have gone through hell and back. Listen to the stories we have to tell. Spoiler alert: we get broken in the end. But our stories come from our heart. Listen to our heartbeat. Elizabeth and Andrew were good friends up until high school. They drifted away, and rarely spoke to each other. During the last few months of high school, Elizabeth and her four friends get caught in drama. This includes crushes, breakups, makeups, bullies, and much more. Elizabeth has to keep them together and ignore her longing crush on a plain and heartbroken guy. But maybe something could distract her from all that. Maybe that distraction's name is Blake. Warning: READ AT YOUR OWN RISK! This story contains many plot holes, cliche moments, and just things that don't make any sense. (And editing would be a nightmare. I can't do it myself. I've officially given up on this story.) #569 in Teen Fiction on April 9, 2016 |Added to @weareteenqueens "High School Highlights" reading list!| |Entered in the #W.SAwards for 2016 "Most Favorited Book!"| #Wattys2016 #WriteForYou #MyYouth #weareteenqueens

Tell Me You Love Me 《Bieber》✔ by TheKiwiStyles

[COMPLETED] He took her for granted until he lost her. Now they say you don't realise what you have until you lose it, but he never thought he'd lose her. After all, she was willing to go through so much for him. Loving someone who doesn't love you in return...is like trying to fly with a broken wing. Nevaeh Claire finds herself in a toxic relationship, that she cannot escape. Not because he's not allowing her to, but sadly because she's not allowing herself that freedom. By the time he realises that he truly loves her, she's already moved on with her life. Found happiness with another and just moments away from becoming a bride. But will a simple 'I do' stop him from fighting for the one girl he never fought for in the past? "All this time you were never really able to see how you feel about me and I get it...you can't just be the guy that says how he feels" "But Tyler is. And I think I can be happy with him and I just want to be happy, Justin" "So whatever you're gonna say to m e, please don't say it" Oh, how she longed for him to tell her the three simple words she has told him time and time again over the years.

All because of you by aquagiraffe

"I enjoy spending time with you Jules," he says into my hair. This obviously sends shivers through my whole body. Being the useless idiot that I am, I actually shiver. He leans back with a look of amusement on his face. "Are you cold?" he asks. "I...uh...um," I mentally smack myself for my lack of words. "It's okay. You give me that feeling too," he whispers. ... Julia Clark is about to experience something that will change her life and way of thinking. Will she be able to handle it after everything she's been through? And when a certain someone, aka Jeremy Taylor, tries to help her to get over her past, will she trust him or will she continue to push everyone away? It's up to Julia to move on from her past and get rid of her negative outlook on life--But the main question is, will she?

Hope and Destiny (and everything in between). by whyismae_soannoying

"Whoever coined the term 'love' as a sign of endearment was an absolute idiot, and I mean that in the most polite way possible." Julia, like most seniors, is somewhat ready to face the final year of high school before she plans on achieving one of her two goals; to pursue her dreams in the field of journalism. The other dream, you ask? The one she's dead set on crumbling up and throwing aside? To experience romance worth the songs, the stories, and the sonnets. So, transferring to a new high school a year before passing out seems too short to want to live and love, but, unfortunately, fate has other plans in store. And the plan involves one sun-eyed boy with hopes bigger and beyond the world, and every intention to crash into a certain eager, future journalism student's life and break her walls. "Nobody focuses on the story anymore. It's always the beginning and the conclusion. The depth is all in the middle - the body, the 'long-ass narratives'." "Is it, now? Oh please, pray tell?" "Sure, you have your hope and destiny, but what about everything else in between?" "Like these small moments where I tell you how much reading helps me fall asleep? Or the moments where you punch my arm in return?"

⚠ Warning sexual content!!! ⚠ *Book 1 of the "Unexpected Lovestory" Series* She loved her husband more than her last breath. She was blinded, deafened and suffocated in his love. She gave him everything but he was a receiver, never a giver. The only things he gave was confusion. He gave manipulation and he gave her mind the masqueraded ideals of his "undeniable love" when the only person he loved was himself. He had plagued her mind, so much so that when he suggested an open relationship he made her believe it was her idea but she never wanted that. She wanted him and only him. He wanted her and everyone else he could get. But that all changed when Tobias Wrexler walked in... ©️ Copyright 2020 Demii Jada R. ©️ All Rights Reserved.

Into the Velvet by help-me-think-of-one

*EDITORS' CHOICE 2021*After falling for her senior year teacher, Louise learns a harsh lesson on what adulthood isn't. Louise has some trauma to unpack. Heartbreak's a bitch, and her first relationship had been anything but normal. Thinking herself mature for her age, her affair with Mr. Cain started swooningly well. Except things ended quite abruptly. It's a lot for a seventeen year old to handle. But who's really at fault for what happened? Who even is Mr. Cain, and what is he hiding? From the wreckage of her naivety and self-esteem, can Louise save her friendships and rebuild herself? Our love songs aren't telling the whole truth. How can this be? In this tale of vulnerability, adolescence and painful reckoning, the arrogance of youth demands a price. * "'You're what, Louise?' he asked. 'You're sorry? What am I supposed to do here? How can I turn this around? How can I tell you that everything you want and feel is reciprocated, when I have to go back to work and pretend none of it happened?' 'I don't know the answer!' I cried. 'Neither of us do.' I threw my hands up in defeat. He caught them before they could fall. 'But how do I go back to living without your words?' His voice became a whisper. He squeezed my fingers tightly, closing his eyes and bringing them to his chest. 'I need how you make me feel, Luiza. I need it to feel alive. I won't stay away. No one's made me feel this good before. And I can't stand myself for wanting what I want. What do I do?' I was a violin bow on the verge of splintering. Every inch of me pulsed with an ache that began from the marrow of my bones. Fate had brought us here. At this crossroads of ours, there were a hundred different choices to make. A thousand different lifetimes to choose from, stemming from and decided entirely by my next choice. And in the end, I chose incorrectly. I held his face between my hands, feeling the echoing pulse of his skin. I brought his face to mine. I kissed him."

The Last Time the Rain Fell by mentallyillbaddiee

(sept 2020 - as you can see in the first few chapters, this story is being rewritten. It will be completely redone as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience 💕) I promised myself I would never fall in love again. Especially after what happened last time. He ruined me. He hurt me and destroyed me in ways that I never thought were possible. So, I promised myself that I would never subject myself to the pain that one feels when their love is not properly returned. But it took twelve days...that's how long it took me to fall for him. I couldn't help it, he was my cousins best friend, he already had a girlfriend, and I was probably more trouble than I was worth. But we were still drawn to each other. "Can you promise me something before we go in there?" he asked me. "That depends on what you have in mind." I joked, my fingers nervously toying with the hem of my shirt. "Just promise me that no matter what happens, you'll make it through this." I smiled and looked up from my hands. "Of course I will make it through, whatever it takes."

Tomorrow's Blues by fadedxfires

~"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. Just 17 years old, she lost her parents in a boating accident and now she must live with her best friend, her best friend's parents and her best friend's brother, Joseph. She struggles through her grief as well as dealing with the mysterious but obnoxious Joseph, and it soon comes to light that he isn't the only one around her keeping secrets. Living under the same roof, tensions arise, and Liliana begins to discover that a perfect family may not be so perfect after all." If you like a good old slowburn, enemies (ish) to lovers, bonding over tragic backstories type beat then this story is for you, I promise :) #1 in #bestfriendsbrother (didn't note the exact date - some time in January 2021) #1 in #dealing with death (11/04/21) amazing cover by @sixty6ix !!

The Men Next Door by wildfirehoney

✅ Complete ✅ When Campbell Kramer accepted a job offer in Manhattan, she never could've imagined what the city had in store for her. Namely, two handsome men who live on either side of her new apartment. One is older, one is younger. One is introverted, one is extroverted. One is serious, one is playful. Both of them want her attention. What could go wrong? ☲☲☲☲☲ ☆Brooks☆ My neighbor was the one to close the distance between us. She did it quickly -- like she was scared the moment would pass away forever if she let another millisecond go by -- and I rested my hand on the side of her face to steady her. Something about my touch must have given her courage. ♡Campbell♡ The men finally greeted each other while I snipped the green, woody stems and plopped them into the tallest mug I owned. Their sentences were short and awkward, and as I rearranged the blooms for the umpteenth time, the realization that they'd told each other what happened hit me like a south-bound train. I don't know why I didn't expect that. They were best friends, after all. I was just their new neighbor. They had no loyalty to me, no reason to keep our time together a secret. ☆Luca☆ Her lips met mine slowly, softly, hesitantly -- like she wasn't so sure kissing her neighbor was the best idea -- and I responded just as delicately. But when her hand made its way into the back of my hair, our bodies melded together like a lust-struck alloy. And the only hope of separating us was to add more heat. ☲☲☲☲☲ Featured by: 📙 @Wattpad • Spicy Summer Reads (July 2024) • Endless Reading Mode 🧡 (Jan 2024) • Summer in the City 🥵 (June 2023) 📕 @Romance • New Adult (June 2024) 📘 @Ambassadors • Hot Encounters (Dec 2024) Awards: 🥈 Romance runner-up (The Prime Awards 2023)
