Where Love Left Scars by CryBabyChapters

"We said goodbye for the sake of growing up. But growing up didn't mean moving on." At Rosebridge University, Mirabel and Caden meet again-not as lovers, but as best friends carrying unspoken history. They broke up in high school when Mirabel's grades slipped, and she blamed the distraction of love. Caden let her go, believing they'd find their way back someday. But now that "someday" is here, everything is more complicated than he ever imagined. She's stronger. He's quieter. And their hearts? Still speaking the language of "what ifs." But in between stolen glances, late-night talks, and buried memories, their story is far from over. Because sometimes, letting go was never the end. It was just the pause before everything changed.

Closer Than We Think (BxB) by januaryL_8

[COMPLETE!] A mostly-cozy friends-to-lovers BL about healing, high school, and second chances. Two years ago, Jace Walker had it all - popularity, talent, and the kind of ego only an American teenage soccer star could have. Then he was kidnapped. Gone for two years. Experimented on. Forgotten by everyone but the nightmares. Now he's back. Back at school. Back to pretending he's fine. But Marcus, the school's new golden boy, sees right through him - and Jace can't decide if he hates him for it... or needs him. As Jace struggles to rediscover who he is, he finds something unexpected: friendship, love, and maybe even himself again. Will he ever stop being the boy who disappeared? Or is he becoming someone new entirely?

Borrowed Time Part 2 by stolenknights

**THIS IS THE SECOND PART OF BORROWED TIME, PART ONE IS ALREADY ON MY PAGE!** Juliette Smith is aware that everything she does is on borrowed time. Her popularity, her relationship with her father, with her friends... all of it is on borrowed time. Her existence as she knows it is so fragile. With the revelation of one secret, all of it could go up in flames, but there's never been any reason for her to disclose it, and there has been every reason for her to hide it; it protects her image. Esme Panchak is, by definition, a poison to her image. She is everything that Juliette isn't. She's undermotivated, crass, and unapologetically her own person. She's everything that Juliette has trained herself to loathe, and everything she has successfully avoided for three years... but she's enchanting, enticing. Whenever they're together, she can feel her grip slipping bit by bit. So, when Juliette ends up stuck with Esme as her lab partner, she realizes just how quickly the secrets she's trying to outrun can catch up with her. Haha had to split it into 2 parts... APPARENTLY Wattpad only allows for 200 chapters per book, silly me, silly me.

Somebody Like You by LethalDreamer01

Step one: graduate. Step two: accidentally sleep with your best friend. Step three: get trapped working summer camp together because your other best friend has no sense of boundaries. Now Enya and Maddie are sharing a cabin, pretending nothing happened, and doing a terrible job at it. It's hot. It's messy. It's gay. * * * The summer before college was supposed to be chill; sunburns, iced lattes, maybe a mild existential crisis. But when Skylar signs everyone up to be counselors at a middle school camp, Enya and Maddie find themselves trapped in a mosquito-infested nightmare... together. One small problem: They may or may not have ACCIDENTALLY hooked up after graduation. And Maddie is convinced Enya planned the whole thing. Between canoe races gone wrong, s'mores that end in arguments, and bunkhouse confessions they swore would never happen again, both girls are about to learn that feelings aren't something you can logic your way out of-or yell your way past. Because sometimes the person who drives you craziest... is the one who feels like home.

Everything Changes by Upallnight19

Aria had a simple life, she had her friends, her brother, and her parents. At the time she thought life couldn't get any better; minus the guy she was in love with was having a hard time noticing she's the one. But when tragedy strikes, she doesn't know how to deal with it. Losing someone close to her and the guilt that eats away at her heart. How do you deal with it? The life she had known was gone. The pain feels like drowning. Though putting your life together is hard when you keep finding out people aren't who they say they are. Who could possibly help her keep her head above water? Someone she least expected? Could he be the one to save her, before it all becomes too much? Ryder didn't leave much falsehood to rumors. A complete playboy. He didn't have much he cared about in life anymore, at least, other than his friends. They were the only ones who knew his dark secrets, the mystery that hid in his eyes. That's the way he liked it, usually keeping to himself, not giving a shit what anyone thought about him. When Aria walks in his life, things get shaken up. Now, life starts getting a little more interesting.

Mine To Have by Octobermoonbl

Drake, all silence and storms, made Asher feel safe. But when feelings got too heavy to hide, Asher disappeared without a goodbye. Five years later, he's back-no longer the boy who ran, but the man now working under the very person he left behind. And Drake? He's colder, sharper... and still very much haunted. What happens when the boy you loved becomes the man you're forced to marry? Will secrets ruin them for good... or will love finally be his to have?
