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."

~Trust Me ~ by insanelysane2552

"I want a divorce." And just hearing him say that my whole world that seemed to revolve around him stopped. Gathering myself I barely managed to speak in a voice that even I could not recognise. I couldn't comprehend anything going around me. "Wh..hy?" As soon as the words left my mouth he threw the file and the photographs spread across the floor. And those photographs had me in compromising positions with not one but several men. Looking at those photos I looked straight into his eyes. Disgust and hatred. The only emotions I could see. Taking a deep breath I composed myself and tried to keep my face void of the emotions I felt at that moment. Hurt and immense pain. If he didn't trust me then he has no right to see me vulnerable too. "Is this the only reason why you want to divorce me? No other except this?" It was foolish of me to ask him but I had to make sure. Also for me trust comes before love. If he doesn't trust me I don't even want to save the relationship. "Is this not enough you whore? What else can I expect from a slut and a gold digger like you! I knew it from the start that all you showed was just a facade. Your innocence, kindness, it was all fake. I just don't believe how can I be so dumb." Was I hurt? No I was broken beyond repair. My heart ached. I felt like I was seconds away from collapsing. I had far exceeded the limit of hurt and pain. I was so powerless in that moment that I couldn't even fight with him. Love makes you strong. I have heard and felt that countless times but they always forget to mention what comes after that. Love makes you weak too. I couldn't shout at him because I loved him. But I had to be brave. For myself. ************************************************** Is love enough for two people to be together or is there something more important than love? This is story of Xander and Sophie who loved each other but still couldn't be together. Because more important than love is trust. © All rights reserved

Love is strange. It exists in many forms and is one of the key components that makes humans happy, but there isn't a lot of understanding surrounding it. At least not the kind of understanding with which the average person identifies. Agnes is one of the few people that can accept all kinds of love. Despite her dated name, she is a woman in her late 20's dealing with the death of most of her family. She's now stuck in the middle of figuring out how to raise children that she never saw in her future and deciding what love means for her, when it has to exist within layer upon layer of complication. She let go of her boyfriend after almost a decade because their love wasn't meant to exist under the strain of children, only to find herself confronted with the overpowering connection of her old high school sweetheart. The same man she ran away from because their values hardly aligned when it came to how love should be expressed long term. Within the midst of learning how to raise children and balance her ever-building career, Agnes tries to recover from her mother's death, seek comfort without complicating her circumstance, and figure out why her mother would name her Agnes. Finding real comfort starts to feel impossible, as her most available options are her ex-boyfriend and her assistant. Completed! Rejected 6 times** "This one just isn't for us." By far the most plain rejection I have ever received and I can respect it. 1/22/2022 - 1K 9/28/2022 - 10K

"You kept all these secrets from me...I trusted you, Ava." he says as he took a step closer. "Was it all a lie...?" "It was better for the both of us..." I said, my voice calm and cold. "You should go before I kill you, like I did to your father." Asher growled. "You used me! You damn dragon!" I let out a cold laugh as I tilted my head to the side. "I'm a Moonlight Dragon, sweetheart, that's what I am and manipulation is what we do best." "I'm not your sweetheart anymore." he snapped. He took a step back. "You will pay for this, Ava, oh you will pay." I smirked "Try me" and took off to the skies...but for some reason...my heart was aching in pain... --------------------------------------------- In the kingdom of Evervale, dragon hunters are almost everywhere.

****Updated and re-edited*****Dec of 2024 In her last year of college, Madison Harlow breaks up with her childhood boyfriend. They've never been anything but close friends and a kiss. No one knew he was unstable and would take his life, which in turn forced Madison to want to live more of a life. Madison has always been a good girl; not even sure she knows what a true kiss feels like. She thinks she's going to spend her last year in college partying with her best friend. Until her polar opposite shows up. Mason Pembrook, a guy that has a new girl every night. He's never dated a girl and he's never used the word 'love' ever in his life. Mason and Madison find an immediate attraction to each other even though they are far from being alike. Mason forces Madison to dislike him because romance scares him. Madison hides her true feelings deep down inside of her. One night is all it takes for Mason to take Madison's virginity and create a wild, toxic, and addicting romance between the two of them. What brought her to him? Is it because Mason is broken, and Madison believes she has to fix everyone? Is it because not only did he take her virginity, but he made her feel what a true kiss feels like? Or is it because she's become addicted to the arousing feelings and pleasure he can give her? These two are no good for each other but can't stay away. They are magnets in this universe, attracted from thousands of miles away no matter what happens. The fights they have would end any relationship, yet they keep going back to each other. The more they are together the more they fall in love with each other. The more they make love with each other the more they realize what true love feels like. The more they fight the further they end up away from each other. Can true love and arousing romance be more powerful than the arguments and disapproval they can have for each other? To Madison, Mason is 'My broken YOU'

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. He was a "bad boy" with a heart of gold (ik it's cliché) . He never let anything slip by him. He doesn't say anything as their personalities clash and they hate each other. You know what they say, there is a thin line between love and hate. Will these two step over the line? But sometimes, running away from your problems doesn't go down unnoticed. The very person Astrid ran away from is after her, and this time, the consequences will be worse. -- This is an enemies-friends-lovers book and they become friends early on because I find it difficult to write going from enemies to lovers so yeah. *unedited book* #1 in talent show (29/02/24)
