Sequel to Broken.

"Memories have the ability of unlocking new emotions. They allow you to relive moments with surfacing feelings you were unable to experience then. It's your choice to let these feelings live and take hold or tragically, or in this case, delightfully die."

Makenna Adams can remember the first and last time she's ever been frightened of anything. That moment had turned her life into her daily nightmare. She would've never guessed that an English boy, Atlas, would be the second. The same boy who can't seem to stop thinking about what had unfolded the last time they were in the same room. He had certainly left her bruised.

Worth the Risk by KateRavenaw

August & Colin | WRU series | book 1 We take risks. We make mistakes. We lie. We love. We hurt. We lose total control. I took a risk. I paid the price. I made a mistake. I felt the guilt. I lied. I lie. I loved. I try not to. I hurt. I still do. I lost control. I'm losing again. I try to stick to my plan, I try to follow my rules, I try to silence my heart, I try to keep control of the domino stones that represent my life. But one domino fell and the rest just followed. *** "We shouldn't do this," he whispers against my lips. I should applaud him for having the strength to act on that thought because I haven't been able to. At one point I wanted to, but his touches made the impulse to stop vanish. Now, the only thing I want to act on is the longing inside my chest as I think about demolishing the space between us. "Do you want to stop?" I can feel his frown against my forehead. He nudges my nose before placing a featherlight kiss on my mouth. His hands slide over my jawline, his thumbs slowly caressing my cheeks. He gives me another kiss. Slow and deliberately, as if he's still debating the answer to my question as he slicks his tongue over mine. He softly sucks on my bottom lip, dragging it with him when he pulls away. "I can't," he confesses before he presses his lips back on mine. *** All Rights Reserved (Do not copy this story, thank you :))

Hopelessly Falling [book 2] by BriellaDiamond

"Do you ever get scared of being happy?" He asked softly, also pretty tired. I kept my eyes closed as I answered, my fingers softly drawing circles on his chest. "All the time. I used to a lot more, but, the downfalls seem a lot less daunting now that I have someone to free-fall with," I replied, and I looked up to see him smile a little at that, "We're just dancing in the rain these days.. there's no need to be afraid of the inevitable clouds that are gonna pop up." • • • College.

Broken by JaneLanett

"There are a few moments in life that are perfect and surreal; like a beautiful dream you don't want to wake up from, but when you do, you can't seem to remember what it was about. Then there are the terrible moments, absolute nightmares that nothing you do can make you forget them. This was that moment." Makenna Adams is in her third year of College with a dark past that none of her friends know about. She's no longer the sweet and innocent girl she was three years ago, she's bitter and always seeks danger. But when an English boy, Atlas, transfers to her college, she starts to see glimpses of the old her and she won't have it because the old her is nothing but broken. Prequel to Bruised.

Yes, five years. I held on to a love that was never mine, and I guess, will never be. For five years, I have waited for him to love me. I kept my patience - hoping and waiting. Ben: What I regret the most was not being able to tell her my real feelings. For five years, I did nothing but think that I'd tell her one day how much I love her. And before I realized it, the days turned to months, and it was five years already. For five years, I held on to my love for her.

****Updated and re-edited*****Dec of 2024 In her last year of college, Madison Harlow breaks up with her childhood boyfriend. They've never been anything but close friends and a kiss. No one knew he was unstable and would take his life, which in turn forced Madison to want to live more of a life.

Mason and Madison find an immediate attraction to each other even though they are far from being alike. Mason forces Madison to dislike him because romance scares him. Madison hides her true feelings deep down inside of her. One night is all it takes for Mason to take Madison's virginity and create a wild, toxic, and addicting romance between the two of them. What brought her to him? Is it because Mason is broken, and Madison believes she has to fix everyone? Is it because not only did he take her virginity, but he made her feel what a true kiss feels like? Or is it because she's become addicted to the arousing feelings and pleasure he can give her? These two are no good for each other but can't stay away. They are magnets in this universe, attracted from thousands of miles away no matter what happens. The fights they have would end any relationship, yet they keep going back to each other. The more they are together the more they fall in love with each other. The more they make love with each other the more they realize what true love feels like. The more they fight the further they end up away from each other. Can true love and arousing romance be more powerful than the arguments and disapproval they can have for each other? To Madison, Mason is 'My broken YOU'

Love, Maybe? by simply_butterflies_

The sound of pencil strokes filled the silence, a quiet rhythm against the weight of unspoken words. "I don't even like him." The sketchbook lay open, pages curled at the edges, filled with lines she never meant to draw. His face stared back at her-smudged, incomplete, yet unmistakably him. She sighed, pressing the tip of the pencil against his sketched smile. It wasn't fair. She turned the page. Some memories fade. Some never let go. Twelve years ago, there had been a little girl, a locked room, a trembling hand holding hers. Then-running. A door left ajar. A risk that had to be taken. Footsteps pounding behind them. She had escaped. So why did it still feel like she left something behind? Something was missing but she couldn't quite get a hold on what. Now, in a crowded university hallway, he leaned against the wall like he belonged there. "Still pretending you don't care?" Rivan's voice held a smirk, but his eyes said something else. She hated that she knew the difference. "He was my childhood tutor. Now, he's my classmate. If this is fate, I want a refund." A flicker of silver caught her eye-the handmade guitar pick spinning between his fingers. Her guitar pick. She had made it without thinking. Had given it away without knowing. Hadn't expected it to find its way to him. He was laying down, staring at the guitar plectrum (pick) above in his hands. His fingers closed over it. "I wonder if she knows she already picked my heart." The paper crinkled beneath her grip, her unfinished sketch staring back at her. "Tell me, Nitya..." The whisper lingered like an unfinished melody. "What am I to you?" ─── ･｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ─── ｔｒｏｐｅｓ • Childhood frenemies to lovers. • Friends to lovers. • College mates to lovers. ° He fell first and harder. ° Slow burn. ° Long Distance. ° unrequited ° soft romance ° Bestfriend ArchitectxMusician
