Beatrice Fox has always been the girl who has a strict 5-year-plan and intends to stick to it, she's had the same plan for years; get into the top nursing program in Victoria, graduate top of her class, become a nurse at The Royal Children's Hospital, have some kids, die next to her wife.
	Emerson Haines has never known what she wants to do with her life, she is just trying to get through it. Whatever she ends up doing, she knows she'll have her trusty service dog Holly to lead the way and help her fight the everyday battle that comes with having POTS (Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome).
	Beatrice and Emerson are just going about their lives when one day, they meet on the bus. To each other, it's just a normal interaction with a stranger, Beatrice drops her wallet, Emerson picks it up for her, Holly gets a compliment. Nothing special right?
	This is a story where not one thing is a coincidence, a story of love, and hope, and most importantly, the universe trying to push two people together who just won't seem to get the hint

(set in Victoria, Australia and as such will use "Mum" rather than "Mom")

My Ex - Crush by thefadedwhite
90 parts Ongoing
"I wish I had never met you!" Deepika's voice echoed across the classroom, each word a dagger to my heart. "Excellent! At least we finally agree on something!" I fired back, even as a tear betrayed the storm of emotions within me. With those final, stinging words, Deepika stormed out, leaving a heavy silence in her wake. The classroom felt like a graveyard, and I stood there, rooted to the spot, desperately wishing I could chase after her and demand the truth. Maybe letting her go was the right choice. Perhaps this is meant to be my unfinished love story, a tale of what-ifs and almosts... ✨ No Deepika. This can't be his bike. Not Arjun's. But I couldn't deny what I saw-the familiar brown Royal Enfield, now twisted and crushed. My heart hammered as I circled around, hoping, praying it wasn't true, until my gaze landed on the number plate: TN56 0809. Arjun's bike. Deepika! Stop imagining things! Arjun would be fine! I felt the world shift, the noise around me blurring into a single, deafening hum. Ambulance and police sirens echoed, and a stranger's voice broke through: "Two boys. Spot dead. College students." I clutched my chest, gasping for air as reality slammed into me. "Arjun..." I whispered, barely holding myself together. Tears stung my face as I sank beside the wreck. "No, Please, No!" My voice cracked as the weight of regret settled in, suffocating me. ✨ Ex-Crush: More than just a crush, but a little less than love. ✨ Arjun and Deepika were hopelessly in love-only they never realized it. Will they find their way to each other, or will their love story remain forever unfinished? ✨ Join Arjun and Deepika on a journey back to those dreamy college days-days where every moment felt eternal, love was unspoken yet ever present, where friendship bloomed like wildflowers, offering a sanctuary from the harsh winds of reality. Come, wander with them through the corridors of college days, where the echoes of laughter still linger.
