Love was never part of the plan-at least, that's what I kept telling myself. Through heartbreak, self-discovery, and the quiet moments in between, this is my story of learning to live with an open heart after being broken by the world. It's about the walls we build to protect ourselves, the people who try to climb them, and the aching truth that sometimes what we fear most is what we crave the deepest.
Raw, honest, and unfiltered, Ocean Water In A Bottle, takes readers through the chaos of falling apart and the beauty of learning to trust again. This isn't a fairy tale-it's a confession, a journey, and a reminder that love, no matter how terrifying, always finds a way back in. And that the past cannot hold you back,

Stockholm Syndrome (Larry Stylinson)
My heart was beating and adrenaline was running through my body at a thousand miles per second. My hand wrapped around the door knob, but then I was pulled back painfully by my arm. I was whipped around and was face to face with a pissed off Louis. "Where do you think you're going, love?" He asked, and I gulped at how dark his voice sounded. The sane part of me was absolutley terrified of it, and I didn't like it, but the part of me that thought Louis was incredible was so turned on by his dark side. "Answer the question." He said as he squeezed my wrist tighter, and I winced a bit, but I didn't answer the question. "Were you trying to leave? Were you trying to run away from me?" He asked, and I felt his nails digging into my skin. I gave a small yelp of pain and then he was dragging me harshly by my arm down the hall again. He passed the room that I was staying in before and opened another door that was three doors down. He pushed me inside, and I couldn't see a thing. The room was completely dark. I began to breath faster because I've never been a big fan of the dark. I hated it. I didn't like what I couldn't see. I jumped as I felt a hand on my waist and my breath caught as I felt a surge of electricity run through me. I felt him pull me closer to him until my back was against his chest. His lips rubbed against my ear and he slowly whispered out "You can't leave, Harry. You're never gonna get away. I'm not gonna let you."Complete
IT STILL HURTS!!!
Sometimes, love isn't the fairytale they tell us-it's the quiet storm that rages inside when you lose yourself chasing someone who was never meant to stay. It still hurts. Not because of what they did, but because of what you let yourself believe. This is a story about heartbreak, revenge, and the haunting echoes of what could have been. It's raw, it's painful, and it's real. If you've ever loved and lost, if you've ever wanted to scream at the world, if you've ever felt the weight of loneliness crushing your chest... this story is for you. Because, sometimes, we don't get the happy ending. But that doesn't mean the story isn't worth telling.Complete
I'll be coming Back For You - L.S
Louis and Harry grew up together in a quiet rural town just outside of London. From the very beginning, Louis felt an unexplainable pull toward Harry-something he didn't fully understand until years later, when he realized it had always been a crush. Harry, charming but a little air-headed, never seemed to notice the lingering glances or the subtle, affectionate touches Louis gave without thinking. Then, just days before their high school graduation, while hanging out like they always did, Louis-tired of hiding, aching with the weight of unspoken feelings-finally confessed his love. It backfired completely. Harry didn't feel the same. Worse, he admitted he wouldn't be attending the same university as they'd always planned- he was moving away. No warning. No real goodbye. Crushed and bitter, Louis spent his first year of college drifting-isolated, numb, unable to move past the heartbreak of losing his best friend and first love all at once. So, how do you recover from someone who was your everything? It's not until senior year that he sees him again: a painfully familiar face in a place he never expected. After all this time, after all that hurt... how is Louis supposed to react? Can his now fragile, stitched-up heart take it?Complete
The Honest Liar
He just stood there. Looking at me. The way I had reacted had put him in a state of shock. "I... I um," Every word I had learned from pre-school to now had just flew out of my mind and left me speechless. "I should go." I could tell he could barely hear the hurtful words I had just chocked out of my mouth, but I didn't care. Not anymore. I walked away. Fighting back tears. I drove all the way to my house and when I got there I fell against the cold wall. What had just happened? All I knew is that I wasn't able to think straight. My mind was clouded with memories of him. I shook my head trying to forget everything that was involved with him. But I wasn't able to forget. These thoughts were a part of me now. He was a part of me.Complete
