Helena and her best friend, Alice, had known each other since kindergarten. They've fought, made up, laughed, and cried together so many times they'd lost count. The pair grew up together, adding and removing friends from their duo along the way. But what happens when Helena starts to realize who Alice really is, and finds solace in the last person she should ever get involved with?
What happens when Lena finds herself in a position where she has to choose between her lifelong best friend and the boy who's always been there for her?

****updates may be irregular and most of this hasn't been edited to my liking so proceed with caution it's one of my better drafts I keep around

How best friends fall
Lena and Vanessa had been inseparable since kindergarten. They were the kind of best friends who knew each other's secrets before they were spoken, who swore that nothing-no one-would ever come between them. But high school had a way of testing even the strongest bonds. It started with Aaron. Vanessa's boyfriend. The boy Lena had never meant to fall for. But feelings didn't care about friendship pacts or unspoken rules. They crept in quietly, filling the spaces she tried to keep locked. And Vanessa, sharp as ever, noticed. Betrayal burned hot in Vanessa's chest. She wasn't the kind of girl who cried over things like this. She was the kind of girl who got even. If Lena wanted to break the rules, fine. Vanessa would break them worse. And what better way to get under her best friend's skin than by setting her sights on Lena's younger brother, the charming heartbreaker? Lines were crossed. Secrets unraveled. The best friends who once swore to put each other above everything were now caught in a web of lies, jealousy, and heartbreak. Now, they had a choice to make: fight for their friendship or let the wreckage of love and revenge consume them. Would they choose each other? Or would they let the damage be the end of everything they once had? And my friend Linneah helped come up with the concept and it's based off of us in our friendship but all the drama that happens did not happen to us.Complete

I frowned, dropping my hand from her chin and grabbing her hand, instead. "You have tried hating me then?" She asked, tilting her head to the side.

Olly, Olly
Aria never imagined that she would see Oliver again, it had been many years since she had last seen Ollie. He was her best friends brother, and he was off limits, not that he ever noticed her. They had grown up together, attented the same schools, played playground games after school, and hung out at each other's homes. Suddenly right around middle school Aria started to get shy, and awkward whenever Ollie was present, and it got worse the older they got. She'd steal glimpses of him whenever possible, and yet, never admitted it to anyone, let alone Ollie. Then life happened, and they grew up, and they all went there separate ways. One day, Aria spots Ollie in the distance, and she immediately becomes entranced at the sight of him. Oliver was older now, but she quickly recognized him. She would know, as she had stolen many moments staring, studying his face, and she could definitely spot those eyes anywhere. They are suddenly forced to face each other, and she realizes that she quickly becomes that awkward shy school girl all over again. He is familiar to her, but yet, still different, as he is a soldier who hasn't quite left the battlefield. Standing so close to him, she can't help but try to steal a closer look at him, but she quickly realizes that this time- he is staring back at her, and he isn't even trying to hide it. His eyes are immediately locked on her at the first sight.Complete
