Amalia Rae Torreva, a second-year architecture student, doesn't live her life that much as she wanted to. She's always been an option, always being compared to others, always getting hurt. Never been one's choice. Not to a family, friend... Simply not to everybody. That's how miserable her life is.

She is always treated as the back-up friend, only noticed when they need something. She only has herself, but that is more than enough to stand up for herself and for someone she love. She also has Chico- her pomeranian dog- daisies, and her obsession in painting. It helps her in coping from her problems. 

Then, suddenly, Vance Emery Otto came into her life. A shiftee student from the College of Criminology. He needed to cope up with all his missed major subjects from the first year and their professor told Amalia to help him- and of course, she had no choice. 

Her pure intention is to teach and help Vance. But, Vance seems to have a plan along with their situation. He wants to make her feel that she's not an option, make her feel valid and valued. 

But in the middle of their blooming relationship, there appeared his first lover. Will Vance finally make her feel chosen or will he be like others who made her feel optioned?

Or will he be the cause of her destruction? ---------------------------- ~Noah's pov~ 'These,' I slowly run my finger across one of her scars, 'are fucking beautiful.' Before she can object, I carry on. 'Maya you are beautiful beyond perfection. You are strong. You are brave. You are funny. You are sweet. You are incredible. Look at yourself,' I nod down towards the scars on her arm and she slowly glances down at them before meeting my gaze again, 'those scars are beautiful. Do you know why?' I ask her. She wipes a tear from her already tear-stricken face before she shakes her head. 'Because every time you decided to do that to yourself, you didn't go further, you didn't end your life. You decided to carry on living even when you thought you couldn't manage it. Those scars right there,' I gesture to them again, 'show the battles you won against yourself. They are your battle-scars and you shouldn't be ashamed of them. And you know what? I am so proud of you for making it to where you are today because you are a fighter and If I can see that, anyone can.'

"So this was all just a game to you . . .this whole time, you pretended to like me in order to humiliate me in front of the entire school?" An air of melancholia surrounded me, eyes watery like never before. "Were your feelings for me ever real?" There wasn't even a trace of an apologetic expression on his features as he tucked his hands in his pockets, before he gave a nonchalant shrug. The sudden urge for revenge became a prominent priority. He regarded me passively. "It's not my fault that you fell for me in the first place." he justified as he advanced my way, closing the gap between us. Unstably, I strode backwards on the concrete. ". . .stay back." I whimpered. "You're nothing but cold hearted." ·•● Two years ago, Emery Roy was tragically exposed to what some could call an intense betrayal all thanks to the originator - Dean Darnell.

So to avoid him at all cost, she did what any person would do: transfer school. Fast forward two years later.

"I walked over to where Aaron was sitting on the ground, kneeling so that I was face-to-face with him. He was wearing a blank expression on his face so I guess he didn't really care if I kissed him or not. I took in a deep breath before taking his face in both of my hands and swooping down to kiss him. At first, I was so nervous I didn't realize that we were already kissing but after a few moments, I realized how soft his lips felt on my own. Before I can register it I felt him moving against me. I would have gotten off of him but I realize that he wasn't moving to get away from me. No, He was moving his lips against mine." °°°°° Aiden Moore isn't extraordinary. He has average looks, he is OK with sports, and his only strong point is that he is smart (although that doesn't mean much to his fellow classmates). And, of course, his virgin ass has never had a girlfriend, let alone a crush. It seemed as if he would never find someone. That was until he met her, Scarlett Hale. She was the most beautiful girl you will ever meet. Kind, sweet, and one of the few people with a higher GPA then him, she was amazing and Aiden imagined that she would be all his. Once Aiden gets rid of her boyfriend, Aaron Tyler. The most annoying guy you will ever meet, Aiden gags just thinking about him. The man is smoking hot and makes Aiden's dreams of getting the girl to seem very impossible. So what would happen if Aiden gets involved with the wrong person? Will Aiden get the girl? Will he fall short? Or will he fall into the arms of a guy who is in love with the girl he loves? _______________________________________ WARNING: First book EVER!

Adalia has always known she was on the curvy side when it came to her body. There was no hiding it. And at 26 years old being plus size she figured finding someone to love wasn't going to be something she planned in her life. Usually when she caught a man's attention it was because he believed she was easy or for a fun time. But Adalia didn't want her body used for only enjoyment to a man. She always told herself she wanted something serious, not just a quickie. She believed eventually she'd find someone and she had plenty of time to find love. Maybe she was just a late bloomer. Instead of focusing on her love life she chose to prioritize her family. Juan thought his last relationship was going to be the one. After 13 years of knowing each other and 11 years of being together, he was engaged to whom he thought was the love of his life. His fiance, Emily had other plans since she'd fallen out of love with him. She had instead found more interest in a co-worker breaking Juan's heart and leaving him. 2 years have passed since Juan's heart had been broken and he'd lost hope in love. He had gotten a bit better from his broken heart over time. Now 30 years old he was ready for a change. He packed up; along with Charlie his dog, and sold or gave away what he couldn't take. He moved back to the little town of Luxorville where everyone knows everyone; with his mother. It had been a while since Juan had been back home. He noticed there were a few new families that had moved into town over the years. Someone new specifically though that caught his attention was a short woman he saw across the street unloading groceries from her car. Adalia and Juan are bound to cross paths given that they are now neighbors. The only question is are they willing to give themselves a chance in love? *This story is mostly in English.
