"We were bound to break at some point. So might as well be fucked up together." 

Catherine Welles had always been good at keeping secrets - soo much so that her entire life was a lie. She was well versed in the tragedy of men and money and demons that took control of every aspect of her life leaving her utterly alone and closed off. Desperate for an escape she runs at the first opportunity to Highton University to try for a second chance at life and solidify her fashion career. But things were not quite how she planned when she runs into her ex-boyfriend Greyson Reid. Scared and broken Catherine does everything to make sure her walls never shatter - even as she finds herself losing her heart. 

Greyson Reid was destined to become the world's greatest footballer. With intensive training and a captaincy, nothing was going to stand in his way to win the Championship and secure his place in the League. That was until Catherine storms back into his life and creates a sense he never knew he would experience again - even if she hates him. Cautious and careful he tries to make amends for his past mistakes whilst making sure he doesn't lose himself, or worse his career. With desperate attempts pushing around him he finds it hard to not uncover the mystery of the closed-off girl he once knew without wavering. 

Hearts break and paths forge defiantly in a mix of emotions that lead them both to unravel not only themselves but the haunting of their paths that threaten to destroy their futures. With past feelings flickering around them can they withhold themselves from shattering or will they go back to what they once were - strangers with no hopes?All Rights Reserved

This is a work of fiction, inspired by real emotions and experiences, but it does not intend to glorify or promote harmful behaviors. If you or someone you know is struggling, please seek support from a trusted friend, professional, or helpline. You are not alone. Some wounds don't bleed. They fester in silence. Sofia has spent her whole life being told what love is-through whispered apologies, bruised promises, and the kind of pain that lingers long after the bruises fade. She's learned to survive in a home that never felt like one, to smile through the weight of secrets no child should carry. Then there's Zayn. He's everything she should stay away from-reckless, untouchable, dangerous in ways she can't name. But when he looks at her, she feels seen in a way she never has before. In his arms, the world quiets, the chaos stills... until reality reminds her that happiness was never hers to keep. Because love is supposed to hurt. Right? And when the past refuses to stay buried, Sofia is forced to choose: the life she's always known or the one that might destroy her. Some truths are too heavy to speak. Some love stories are never meant to last.

"You, uh, plan to go out like that?" Furrowing my eyebrows, I cast my gaze downwards, and that's when I remembered I had changed into pajamas after my date. My face heated up - it was embarrassing to unintentionally let Trevor see my pajama set that was, unfortunately, adorned with little cartoon sharks. "I..." I mumbled, my eyes still glued to the sharks swimming around the navy blue fabric, hoping that maybe, just maybe, one would swallow me whole right here and now. I was tense, the atmosphere was awkward, but Trevor, being the smooth player that he was, chuckled, and the mere joyful sound tickled my ears and brought the smile back to my face. "Go change," he said, nudging me to go back inside my house. "Alright, I'll just be a second." × × × 17-year-old smitten Morgan Darhk's world revolves around her best friend's brother, Archer Hastings. The only thing is, he doesn't know she exists - or at least that's what she tells herself and what HE tells HIMself. Morgan thinks she's the only one going through a limerence when it's FAR from the truth. Meet Addison Hastings, Trevor Parks, Chase Humphrey, Hanna Abrams, Eric Carter, and Killian Adler, all fellow victims of the unrelenting limerence. Swept up in a world of betrayals, drama, lies of omission, secrets, and most importantly, passion, these high schoolers go through the one thing everyone has experienced at least once in his or her life, as if a rite of passage: the unrequited love. As Morgan tries to find out what - or more importantly, WHO - she wants in life, she discovers a deeper sense in all this BS... ...that love - or at least limerence - blinds us all to see what's really been in front of us this whole time. × × × ~ Blinded by Limerence ~ 09/01/20 - 07/15/22

Cat & Her Second Chance (Book 3 Of The "And Her" Series) (COMPLETED) (UNEDITED) by HayleyDooley

Catherine: They say true love is selfless, that it sacrifices its own happiness for another. That's what I did three years ago-let go of the boy I loved. Now Craig Berkeley is back. Not the boy who left, but the man he's become-confident, successful and devastatingly sexy. The moment our eyes meet, my heart remembers what it feels like to belong to him. But is he here to stay? Or is he going to take my heart with him... again? Craig: Fuck. She's even more beautiful than I remember-and now she's all woman. I left to step out of my brother's shadow, to prove myself. I did. But every second away from Catherine was hell. I've come back for her. She doesn't know it yet, but she's mine. My Kitty Cat. Always mine. But when a ghost from our past resurfaces, threatening everything, will our love be strong enough to survive... or will this second chance be our last?

The Impossibilities of Us by beedazzle

"What are these feelings you're talking about?!" he questions still yelling. "That I fucking like you, Daniella Jamie Grey!" I yell. "And I fucking like you too, Arabella May Jhonson!" he yells back. And the next thing I know is that we're no longer yelling. I hadn't even noticed that we went closer and closer to each other until I felt his breath on my lips and his nose nuzzling against mine as he bent to my level, his body towering over mine. I pull him to me and smash my lips onto his and it barely took a second for him to respond to it. ~~~~~ Arabella Jhonson and Daniel Grey unite. How they met each other, you may ask? They met each other because Arabella's cousin and Daniel's father are dating. There's definitely a spark when they met and the spark began to grow as they hung out with each other day by day, especially since they'll be living under the same roof for a little more than three weeks. Oh and not to mention that Daniel lives in Australia, away from Arabella, and he's only come to visit. But that's when the impossibilities come in to play. For one, aren't they technically going to be related if her cousin and Daniel's dad get married? And not only for that reason, but many other reasons that will be revealed as the story progresses. This'll be a story about two teens who go through struggles and a romance between them that seems more than likely to be impossible. Not only do other people get in the way of this romance, but their minds as well. Their minds that remind them why they can't work. And their minds that have their own fears. But can their romance find a way through it all? Or will it all just fall apart? Warning: Contains strong language

The eternality in our ephemerality by alizarragaa

Without hesitation we fall... He saved her from dying. He saw her and hated her. He's both her savior and tormentor. But when he saw another man trying to to get close to her..... "i can't fall in love with the one girl i vowed i would hate till eternity seemed short, but if our souls diverge from each other, then why do our hearts ache to pull us closer?" This story is for the helpless romantics who know that behind hate there is a need for love, that behind a sweet smile there are thousands of tears being held back, and that behind a perfectly ornamamented family there are cracks awaiting to be ripped. @thee.officialbook

His Sanity, Her Sin by HerWhisperer

They say he's beyond saving-cold, unhinged, a monster in human skin. Locked away in Ravenson Asylum, 𝙆𝙞𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙣 𝙃𝙖𝙮𝙚𝙨 has spent years in the dark, his mind sharpened into a weapon, his heart a thing of the past. Emotionless. Calculating. Predatory. The world believes it owns him, that he'll die behind these walls. But he knows better. He's been waiting. Watching. And now, it's time to escape. The night before his execution, he offers her a choice. "Come with me, or stay behind. But if you stay, you'll never see me again." 𝘼𝙣𝙖𝙮𝙖 𝙈𝙚𝙝𝙩𝙖 should say no. Should run. Should turn her back on the man who watches her like she's his next breath, who speaks in a voice that slips under her skin like a promise. But she doesn't. She's spent too long studying the wreckage of his mind, tracing the scars he doesn't let the world see. There's something inside him- something human, something hers. And maybe she's just as mad as they say he is, because she takes his hand... and never looks back. A stolen ship. A week at sea. A secluded island where the rest of the world doesn't exist. Here, he is no longer their prisoner-but he's still not free. His past is hunting him, and if he doesn't kill the ghosts that haunt him, they will destroy them both. But the real danger isn't the blood on his hands. It's what happens when he finally lets himself feel. Because she's his now. And Kieran Hayes does not know how to love without obsession, without destruction, without ruin. She saved him once. But can she save herself from him? ____________________

The Unbreakable Thread Of LOVE by KNH1111111

What is Love? Is it merely a fleeting emotion, or could True Love truly last forever? What of the elusive Thread of Love-is it strong enough to endure the trials of time, or can it snap under the weight of despair? And what of love at first sight? Is it a genuine phenomenon, or simply a figment of our imagination? Picture this: a Girl meets a Boy for the first time, and in that moment, they discover feelings that ignite something deep within them-something they never knew existed. What is this sensation that takes hold of their hearts? But how did they come to meet? Ah, that is where the story unfolds. They encounter each other during a practice-a practice that seems mundane at first but holds the potential for something extraordinary. What kind of practice, you ask? That's for you to discover later, as revealing too much now would spoil the thrill of the journey ahead. Yet, let's not ignore the shadows that linger over the Girl. Before this moment, she was shrouded in darkness, carrying a burden that weighed heavily on her heart. Why does she hurt so deeply? Trust me, you'll come to understand her pain-and perhaps, you'll find that in the depths of their shared experiences, they may forge an unbreakable bond that even the harshest trials cannot sever. The tale is just beginning. Stay tuned, for the true essence of their story lies ahead, waiting to be unraveled.
