Valerie Vasquez and Elena Espinosa had been best friends since grade school. The two were inseparable, and although they were very different, they had one thing in common- their love for fashion. Now in the city of Los Angeles, they strive towards their mutual dream. 

Growing up as the ugly duckling took a huge toll on Valerie's self esteem, whilst Elena had always been perfect, she was the girl everyone either wanted to be or be with. Valerie did everything she could to claw her way up the social hierarchy. Finally finding her place amidst the crowd, she fell into a group of unruly friends who introduced her to a life of drugs, sex, and crime. What was supposed to be a one time thing, turned into an addiction, something she depended on. Elena was eventually pushed away, fearful of the person her best friend was becoming.

As Valerie's life entered a downward spiral, Elena could only watch from afar as her former friend completely lost all sense of who she once was. It wasn't until Elena finally offered her aid, Valerie was able to heal.

Years later, the two were able to leave everything behind to pursue their dream. Valerie swore long ago that she'd suppress her feelings for Elena, in fear of losing the woman she loved. But, old habits die hard when people and problems from the past arise. Now challenged with the reality of adulthood, adversaries, her self-image, and the feeling that Elena is slowly drifting away, Valerie struggles to find control amidst the turmoil.

As her mental health slowly deteriorates, she can only find comfort in her old habits. Still, nothing can silence the voice in her head telling her to be completely, utterly perfect.

Less Than Nothing by adoringscripts

"What are we doing Alex?" He breathes against my lips. That's too sensible of a question, so I ignore it. My brain has yet to return to my body, and right now that is the last thing I'm worried about. "Stay." I whisper against his mouth, my words flowing without any thought. "Stay?" He sits up fully, which results in me straddling him. His expression is full of curiosity and mild shock. "Like stay stay?" I don't respond with words. I'm afraid if I open my mouth, I'll start to overthink and I can't afford that. Instead, I pull my shirt over my head. I do it confidently, in spite of my boldness starting to dissipate as the seconds pass. Ryan swallows. His eyes trail down to my breasts, before he looks at me again with a look I can't name. "Are you sure?" He stares into me. "Promise me you're sure." "I'm sure." I tell him softly. "I promise." ******* ALEXANDRA MONET is a twenty two year old girl, freshly out of college. After landing her dream job working for top fashion designer Adrienne Walker, she moves from a small town in Florida, to the boisterous city of New York. Since before she moved, Alex mapped out a clear plan for the direction of her life. None of which could prepare her for RYAN RUSSO...the snarky, sarcastic boy who she'll soon find herself thinking about constantly. As much as the two think they can't stand each other, there's an underlying attraction that eventually grows too strong for either them to bare. So they make an agreement... An agreement that is supposed to be void of any and all feelings, but over time it becomes a lot harder than expected. It's supposed to mean nothing. Less than nothing, but unfortunately some things just don't go as planned. Warning: Mature scenes and language.

Trying to make it through senior year... Hoping to have the least amount of distractions, Sienna Martinez has a simple plan for her final year at Ridgeway High School: get good grades and graduate with her best friend, Alex. If her overbearing mother can help it, she'll make sure that Sienna doesn't dare stray from inside the neat lines drawn out for her... as if high school wasn't enough stress on its own. What Sienna doesn't have a plan for, though, is crossing paths with Joseph Vasquez, Alex's childhood friend. Elusive, with dark wavy locks and captivating hazel eyes, Sienna finds it hard to get him out of her head. Joseph finds Sienna just as intriguing. He's determined to peel back her delicate layers and discover who she truly is underneath the piles of books and study guides. One night, Joseph tests her limits on an unexpected adventure. Returning home elated and possibly more confused than ever, she questions whether her mundane routines and star-student image are worth upholding at the cost of her happiness.

You and Leighton were dating from freshman year to around 1/2 way through junior year when she randomly broke up with you to be friends with Francesca and Esme. It broke your heart but thankfully you didn't have to see her every day as your dad moved you out to LA as he got a senior Partner job at a law firm with a higher paid salary and decided to take it.

It can feel like a nightmare that you can't wake up from.

Will things get better or worse from here for these lovestruck lesbians as the story goes on?

Darkest hours (G!P) by Blakesbooks19

This world is set in the past. In a time where nothing was impossible, Where dragons fly above our heads. We learned to ride them, and become friends with them. We created artifacts that make our dragos small and then big again when we need them. That's what sets our world into two sides. A side where dragon riders lived and flew on them. And a side where they hated dragons, and the one that rode them. Even though we managed to work in peace, there was no war between us. Only fights that were under control and rules. In the Arena in the city called Aeloria. A city where there were both sides. They mostly ignored each other. But it was hard to get in this city. Mostly it was the people that lived there. And a few outsiders, but that was either the sellers, chosen group of warriors or dragon riders, and lastly the best fighters of the academies that went into the arena. To prove who is stronger and the winner will receive high quality weapons or any other things of their choice. One day the darkness came and war started. Not between us, but with a kingdom that was across the sea. And this battle or war changed everything we knew. I'm Ardyn, I'm on the side where we ride on dragons. And this story can be easy but also hard to understand. But I will still share it. But first we have to start from the beginning. What will this story bring? Will we be able to see the outcome? Let's wait and see. --------------------------------------------- "Get on!" Leora screams at Ardyn. Extending her hand for her to take. "No, I'm not getting there I hate ships." I shook my head and took a step back. Leora sighed and shook her head in mocked amusement. "Are you telling me you are able to fly on a dragon. But you are scared of standing on a ship. Don't make me laugh." "Yes. So what, I'm not getting on." I said angry and she grabbed my hand and pulled me up.

"Death isn't just one thing that happens and is over with. That description fits life more. Death is eternal. I mean that's how I view it. Death brings joy and pain. In my opinion life should be viewed as death is. The end. Death is the beginning. A new life, a fresh new start. Its beauty is unmatched. I imagine it feels like stars bursting, a million smiles and just pure happiness." Cancer. What a pain. Valerie's crippling illness leaves her hospitalised, bored out of her mind, dreaming of how she just wants to be a normal teenager. Although her thoughts are constantly intruded by someone. The boy.

Anyways, it didn't matter, for her illness was getting better and she could finally get back to school. Sophomore year. Gosh. She could finally be a normal teenager. Then she saw "him" in the school hallways. The boy. Although he seemed different, less warm, more cold. It was like he put up a façade and barricaded his true self. His true self being... the boy she saw in the hospital. 🥇First place in The Star Awards 🥇First place in The Ember Awards #24 in sadromance #15 in cancerpatient finished- 22/09/22
