Mylan's world was a quiet chaos - filled with unspoken battles, sleepless nights, and the kind of ache no one seemed to notice. Emotionally shut down and mentally drained, she learned to carry her weight alone.
But when her life starts to shift in unexpected ways, she's forced to face everything she tried so hard to bury - and to open herself up to something she never thought she deserved: connection.
This is a story about healing, love found in silence, and the quiet power of becoming whole again - even when the pieces don't quite fit.

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)

WHERE MY CRUSH, HIDES WITH CHAOS
Emma was born into wealth, elegance, and silence. From a young age, she never spoke unless spoken to. Her words were rare, but her eyes-big, deep, and observant-said everything. She wasn't shy, just quiet. While other girls laughed loudly in the hallways and shared secrets over lunch, Emma sat alone, content in her corner, her world filled with books, sketches, and silence. To most, Emma was invisible. To some, she was weird. And to the cruel few, she was a target. Axel King was everything Emma wasn't. Born rich too, but wild and loud. He walked the school halls like he owned them-tattoos under his uniform, a smirk that made teachers nervous and girls reckless. He was the guy who skipped class but never failed, who partied on rooftops and showed up the next day like nothing happened. Trouble didn't follow him-he called it. They had nothing in common. Except one moment that changed everything. It was a regular Wednesday when Axel saw her for the first time-really saw her. A group of boys were circling Emma, mocking her for being "the silent freak," pushing her books out of her hands. She just stood there, frozen but calm, as if she had accepted it. But Axel hadn't. He stormed in like a lightning strike, grabbing the main guy by the collar, his voice thunder. "Touch her again, and I'll bury you under the school." The bullies backed off. Axel turned to Emma, half expecting fear in her eyes. But there wasn't. Just curiosity... and a faint, grateful smile. That day, Axel sat next to her at lunch. He didn't ask questions. He didn't force her to speak. He just talked, about everything and nothing-his annoying chemistry teacher, his latest prank, the new tattoo he wanted. And Emma just listened. The next day, he did it again. And again. And again. Soon, Axel was Emma's first real friend. Not because she finally talked-but because he finally listened. They were opposites. Axel was loud. Emma was silent. He was chaos. She was calm. He chased the world. She hid from it.Complete
