Guided by letters from the past, after being separated from their other half, The Stray's knitted friendship journey through their last, unknowing summer together, being as they had come to be. Broken and beautiful they are tested and tried through family, themselves, and most significantly each other. Knowing dearly they have each other to hold, the absence of one highlights the lack of elements amongst them they had never thought of as a concept. Nothing could ever sever their bond, but enduring the life that had befallen upon them, it raises the question of whether their friendship was formed or curated by another. A telling tale of circumstance, navigation, and the subtle somber of human experience.

Before You Leave.....  by MahekSikder1
22 parts Complete
Natalie and Aaron were two halves of a whole, defined by the comfortable, chaotic rhythm of a lifelong friendship. From childhood scrapes to teenage triumphs, they were an inseparable force, their bond so deeply woven into the fabric of their familie's lives that no one ever imagined a world where they wouldn't stand side-by-side. ​But beneath the easy banter and shared history, a dangerous secret festers: for years, one of them has harbored a silent, consuming unrequited love for the other-a fragile, secret vow never to confess, terrified that the truth would shatter their perfect, protective dynamic. ​The course of their lives is violently derailed when a sudden, terrifying event-a catastrophic accident, a medical crisis, or a shared trauma-throws them into the path of inevitable change. As one recovers from the brink of oblivion, the boundary between nightmare and reality dissolves, threatening to expose the hidden feelings and forgotten promises. ​What follows is a tangled web of dark secrets, complex betrayals, and devastating plot twists. As they navigate escalating external dangers and the internal battlefield of their own hearts, their past choices collide with the present. Every attempt they make to save the other, to confess the truth, or to simply go back to the way things were, only serves to push them further toward a heartbreaking climax. ​Will fate be on their side? Or will they become a beautiful and tragic memory?

Cherish The Moments We Had Together no A Story of Second Chances and New Beginnings When Ethan Collins is uprooted from everything familiar-his hometown, his friends, his girlfriend-and transplanted to Westwood in the middle of junior year, he's convinced his life is over. Armed with bitter resentment and a long-distance relationship he's determined to maintain, he arrives at Westwood High expecting nothing but misery. What he finds instead is a world that refuses to let him wallow. There's Andy, the effortlessly charismatic athlete who won't take no for an answer. Dayna Prescott, the mysterious "Westwood royalty" who seems to have her own agenda. And a cast of characters who all seem to know who he is before he's even introduced himself-courtesy of his surgeon mother's growing legend and his lawyer father's rising star. Ethan doesn't want a fresh start. He wants his old life back. But as boxes get unpacked and unfamiliar hallways become navigable, he begins to realize that maybe-just maybe-being forced to rebuild isn't the end of his story. It might be the beginning of something he never knew he needed. This is a story about the messy reality of starting over. About the guilt of moving forward when part of you wants to stay stuck. About discovering that sometimes the worst thing that can happen to you opens the door to the best thing you never saw coming. Not every ending is an ending. Sometimes it's just an uncomfortable new chapter. Disclaimer: This work is a completely original piece of fiction.

A girl from a humble, middle-class family vanished without a trace. No witnesses. No clues. Just whispers... about a strange boy-eerie, elusive, and possibly imaginary. Was he a figment of fear? Or the key to unraveling the truth? Was her disappearance a coincidence... or a carefully hidden secret? And the haunting question that lingered- Where was she? The answers lie in the shadows. Let's uncover them... together.
