They talked on the phone for hours, they were the closest friends I've ever seen. They were each other's secret.
But everybody knows you can't keep a secret forever
"You know what?" He asked
"Tell me"
"I'm sure now, that day I didn't dial the wrong number"
Most of us live an ordinary life, we wake up everyday to the same routine, we do the same things with the same people, until one day someone comes into our life and puts it upside down. They change us, they make us see how amazing and extraordinary our existence can be, but the sad part is that usually those people don't stay forever.

You Like Me?! | ✓
"So, let me get this straight," I looked at him weirdly, raising my hands slightly in exclamation. "You like me?!" I asked him in disbelief. "Like or like-like?" I really can't get my head to process his words at the moment. "Is it weird that I don't." He simply replied, his voice sounded calm but serious at the same time. "And for your question, I do. I do like-like you. Like, I really like you. To the point that you're the only thing that's on my mind everyday and I can't seem to get you off it." I was literally standing there like an idiot, slowing blinking my eyes in a slow pace, still can't believe what's actually happening in front of me. ______________________________ ( Partially Edited.)

KIDS ARE GROWING UP - ACT I
You can be in love or be friends with someone for years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes, and seconds. Then one day, it's all over. From a stranger to a friend and from a friend to a stranger again. And now you're struggling to live your life, and you're stuck in the past while being haunted by your own alter ego. All you seek is forgiveness and acceptance. Will you move on and start a new life? Or will you drown forever in this never-ending cycle of hatred and regret? Maybe that's a question I should have asked myself instead of others... BASED ON A TRUE STORY
Tomorrow's Blues
~"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 !!Complete
Sneaky
Originally Made: September 13, 2021 - June 17, 2022 Having a sneaky link can end up two ways. You can end up in love with each other or keep it as a sneaky link. My sneaky link is making it difficult for me to not fall in love with. My sister told me to end it but every time my phone rings I go without hesitation. Everyone keep telling us we would be a great couple but we keep saying "we're just friends" "nothing more is going to happen" "we don't like each other". I'm friends with everyone in the group. They made me feel part of the group and I like that about them. My best friend is Edwin. We're technically the same person but in different bodies. He knows about me falling in love with my sneaky link and he tells me the same thing as my sister. "You need to end this""Talk to him about it""he's only using you for your body""he's only gonna hurt you". Maybe it's just lust but who knows?Complete

"Get in" comes out his voice, and I must've stood there agape for a few moments because next comes his rhetorical question. "Are you getting in or continuing walking in the rain?"

The Best Kept Secret!
They say what's in the past keep it in the past but I wanted to know all about my past. It was things that I didn't know and that I wanted and needed to know! But my life turned upside down when my past is exactly what I should have left alone. Now if you ask me how it all began, I don't exactly remember but I know it started when I moved in with my grandma who I haven't met in all my twenty years of living. I have been in and out of foster homes since I can remember, living with families I knew nothing about. Being the outcast and them constantly asking me what's wrong because I simply did not speak. The only thing that kept me sane was my good grades throughout school. I got the satisfaction of doing the one thing that people kept telling me over and over I couldn't do. I stayed to myself and graduated high school with honors, getting a full-ride scholarship to any college of my choice. Of course, by having this accomplishment, it didn't make it any easier for me between my foster families. To them, I became the girl who was better than them. But I didn't care because when I turned twenty I finally got to start making my own choices. This is where I wonder if the first choice I made was the right one. The first choice I made was to go live off-campus with my grandmother during my first semester in college. I ask myself how could I be so stupid? But you will see just how stupid I was. Or was I?Complete

The Brightest Stars
We admire our work with quiet smiles. I do a small chuckle and finally let all these sad moments become into memories that are worth remembering. Even if it means that those I loved so much might fade away; they will never be forgotten. I promise myself to do this... "Promise me that we will always remember and never forget," Nate quietly says. "What if we do?" I whisper. "What if we let the night become darker than the stars?" Nate turns, and takes small steps towards me. My heart is like a magnet bringing him closer as I turn towards him. He does that look I fell in love with the day we met. He's inches apart now and I'm left breathless. His whisper is as quiet as the moonlight shining through the windows of the class as he says, "Then I will find you to remind you of us. I'll remind you that stars shine brighter in the darkest nights..."Complete
