Krys and Ava are pop stars, famous for their amazing performances and undeniable chemistry. What no one knows, though, is that they once shared a secret love-a love that burned bright until it was consumed by the pressures of fame. Their relationship ended in heartbreak, and now, they can barely stand to be in the same room.
But when they're chosen to be the lead couple for the biggest concert of their careers, "Stars Align," they have no choice but to work together again. As they rehearse for the performance, the old tension and unspoken feelings come rushing back. They fight, they argue, but the connection between them can't be ignored.
However, Ava is hiding a secret, something far more dangerous than their past fights. She's facing a battle that could change everything-one that no one, not even Krys, knows about.
As they come closer to the big night, the line between love and anger begins to blur. The closer they get to the performance, the more they realize that sometimes, the stage isn't the hardest place to perform-it's in the heart.
But some songs can only be sung once.
Krys, frustrated during rehearsal:
"Why can't you just let go of the past, Ava? We're not the same people anymore."
Ava, looking him straight in the eye, with a quiet but intense voice:
"Maybe we're not the same... but there's one thing I know for sure-this moment, this dance... it's still ours."

Back To You
Madison thought she had closed the door on Tayler forever. Two years ago, she walked away, leaving behind the only boy who ever truly knew her-the one who made her feel safe, seen... and ultimately, shattered. She swore she'd never look back. But now, fate has other plans. Thrown back into each other's lives, Madison tells herself she's over him. That what they had is nothing more than a distant memory. But Tayler? He makes forgetting impossible. He's still the same cocky, flirtatious guy who knows exactly how to push her buttons-and pull her back in. Every lingering glance, every teasing remark feels like a dangerous game, and she's not sure she knows the rules anymore. But between them stands more than just unfinished business. New love, tangled emotions, and the unshakable weight of what once was. Madison knows she should keep her distance, but when it comes to Tayler, that's always been easier said than done. "You still look at me the same way," she muttered, hating the way her voice wavered. Tayler smirked, stepping closer, his voice low and daring. "And you still get flustered when I do." She should leave. She should mean it this time. But what if their story was never meant to end-just to begin again?Complete

Astrid
Carter slowly walked towards me, butterflies swarming in my stomach, filling every inch of me. "Assi." he grabbed my wrists, and made me look at him. "Who was that song about?" "You know who." "Was it... about me?" "What would you say if it was?" I cocked my head to the side, our eyes staying connected with each other. "I wouldn't say." he moved closer to me, towering over by the slightest bit as his breath surrounded my every nerve. He leant down, took a sharp breath and connected our lips. - Astrid was a beautiful girl, who had lost her sense of who she was and where she belonged. She went through something traumatic at only 14, but no one noticed. She moved to Roseville for a fresh start with her best friend Kaitlyn by her side. But Carter notices.

The Shadows Of Illusions
She carries scars no one sees. He carries secrets no one survives. When their paths collide, it isn't fate-it's a collision of two broken histories trying to rewrite themselves. She's spent years running from the shadows of her past, the memories that claw at her mind when the world goes quiet. He's spent just as long hiding behind masks, illusions, and the lies he tells to keep everyone at a distance. But the closer they get, the more their pasts begin to unravel-thread by dangerous thread. Every touch feels like a promise. Every silence feels like a confession. Every truth they uncover threatens to destroy the fragile bond forming between them. Because loving him means facing the darkness he's buried. And loving her means confronting the ghosts she's never escaped. Together, they must decide whether their love can survive the weight of the illusions around them... or whether their pasts will pull them back into the shadows for good.
The Ones we Shouldn't Love: ACT I
It starts fast-like lightning striking dry earth. What begins as a spark becomes a fire neither of them can contain. It's the kind of love that keeps you up at night, wide-eyed and breathless, not out of fear, but because you can't bear to miss a single moment. It bruises the heart in places no one sees, but never breaks it-never harms it. Just leaves fingerprints, soft and lingering. Leaving would be easier if love ever truly left. But it doesn't. It lingers in the walls, in the sheets, in the silence between words. One heart clings to memory, loving what was. The other leans into the unknown, loving what might be. And somewhere in between, love becomes a duty-an unspoken promise, heavy and unshakable. All she wants is quiet now. Not the silence of loneliness, but the stillness of peace. A place where her heart doesn't have to choose between two kinds of love-only rest in the safety of her own.
Library Boy
"Can I have your number?" "No." "Then at least tell me your name." "Never! I want nothing to do with you. And you think I'd tell you my name?

One accidental encounter turns into a series of unwanted meetings with a charming, irritating stranger who seems far too interested in her. What begins as annoyance slowly transforms into something neither of them planned. He calls it fate. She calls it a mistake. But the more she runs, the closer he gets. #comedy #romance #funnyComplete
