"What does it mean to love someone who doesn't love you back? To wait, to hope, to wonder if love can change the way the stars align?"
This is not just a story,it's a journey. A raw, intimate recollection of love that bloomed in silence, of moments that lingered too long in the spaces between friendship and something more. It's about patience, about the ache of wanting, and the quiet magic of the unexpected.
But this isn't a tragedy. This is a love story. A story of persistence, of quiet longing turned into something real;of two souls finding their way to each other against all odds.
Some love stories are loud, written in fireworks and grand gestures. This one was whispered..written in stolen glances, unsaid words, and the kind of love that waits.
If you've ever loved, lost, or wondered what it means to hold on-this is for you.

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.![Invisible String [t. s]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/313111005-256-k314994.jpg)
Invisible String [t. s]
"Time. Curious time. Gave me no compasses, gave me no signs. Were there clues I didn't see?" A "thread of gold" that connects two soulmates and brings them together in life. It is commonly thought as an invisible cord around the fingers of those destined to meet one another in a certain situation as they are "their true love". Now, this is tricky. Two people may be each other's "true love" and still meet other loves before being together. Maybe, they don't even like each other at first, but still, their flames burn with the same rhythm. Their hearts beat harmonised and in the same symphony. This story is about love and heartbreak. And loss. And the way a bond grows stronger after it, how love is renewed with time and how it begins again when one allows it. When someone allows oneself to love again. "Time. Mystical time. Cutting me open, then healing me fine. Were there clues I didn't see?" ∘₊✧──────✧₊∘ Theseus Scamander x O. C.

welcome to this story. i don't really know what it is yet - maybe it's a love story, maybe it's a confession, maybe it's just pages full of everything i couldn't say out loud. i didn't plan on writing this. it didn't start with a perfect idea or a cup of coffee or one of those playlists that make you cry at 2am. it started with her. with the stories we used to make up at night - the kind you whisper before falling asleep, soft and half-real. it became a tradition, something small but ours. she once told me i should post them on wattpad. i laughed it off. and when everything ended, i thought... why not? so i wrote this. not to bring her back, but to remember what it felt like when words still meant us. when everything was new and fragile and maybe too much. when love didn't start in a crowded room, but in a glowing screen, where two people who were never supposed to meet somehow did - through an app, a message, a spark that became a story. i wrote it like someone trying to hold on and let go at the same time. like someone who keeps rewriting moments in their head, wondering if things could've been different. this isn't perfect. it won't have clean chapters or a happy ending tied with a bow. it's about feeling too much and saying too little. about loving someone quietly and wondering if they ever noticed. about the distance between what we feel and what we dare to say. and now you're here. reading this. which means maybe, just maybe, you've felt this too. maybe you've loved someone who was never really yours. maybe you've turned your pain into fiction just to make it hurt less. maybe you understand. so... welcome. to the story that wasn't supposed to be a story. to the chaos and the softness and the things left unsaid. so welcome to the story where Gio meets Élise through an app - and what starts as curiosity turns into something raw, magnetic, and impossible to name. where midnight messages become confessions, and distance becomes both a wall and a thread.

Please Come Back (Just One Day Jungkook/Kashish Sequel)
They gathered around the fire. Held eachother, trying to cherish this memory although it brought more pain than it brought happiness. Everyone was trying to forget the fact that their life is coming to a very critical point the next day. That they had to say their goodbyes. People always differ between what is worse, knowing when someone will leave and having to say goodbye Or having no idea when they're leaving and having them suddenly dissappear before you get the chance. But these couples wanted to delete goodbye from their dictionary. Some of them didn't believe in goodbyes, they said it was 'see you soon' or 'till we meet again' But what they did not know that some of them are seeing their loved ones for the last time, that life did not have a happy ending for them waiting, but an agonizing one. They tried to keep themselves together as life laughed at them for they were clueless of what was yet to come, for this might be an end of one chapter, yet it's a start of a whole new one, one filled with splattered ink, wriped pages and crumpled ones too. But having ups and downs is what makes us alive right? Jungkook and Kashish what will become of you?Complete

Loud and Unclear
She gave him six years. He gave her promises, dreams, and betrayal - in that order. When Riley fell in love with her best friend, she thought she found her forever. From stolen glances to late-night calls, from fairytale moments to whispered vows of a future together - it all felt real. Until it wasn't. In 2023, just days before her birthday, he disappeared. Two months later, he was married. By the end of the year, he was back in her life, swearing he had changed. This is not a love story. This is the unfiltered truth of what it's like to love someone who breaks you twice - and still have to find the strength to walk away the third time. It's about silence after loud lies, betrayal after blind faith, and the quiet power of choosing yourself. Loud and Unclear is a deeply personal memoir of heartbreak, healing, and the brutal beauty of finally hearing your own voice after drowning in someone else's noise. For every woman who has stayed too long, loved too hard, and left too late - This is your story, too.Complete
Kisses Didn't Cure Me
*She spent her whole life searching for something that didn't exist - not in her family, not in the boys who swore they loved her, and definitely not in the mirror. Alone in a world that never made space for her softness, she gave up on love altogether. Until him. A man who didn't rush her healing, didn't flinch at her scars, and didn't leave when she tried to push him away. But love, for her, has never been gentle. And kisses? They never cured her before... so why would this be any different? "Kisses Didn't Cure Me" is a story about heartbreak, trauma, solitude, and the slow, dangerous art of learning to trust again.*Complete
Maybe
An internal voice whispered, "Call him." But I chose not to. I dismissed it once more, saying, "He never liked me anyway." Yet the dilemma lingered. "But maybe he does. The way he looks at you... it's different." Out of nowhere, he glanced my way. My heartbeat quickened, sending shivers down my spine. I averted my gaze, pretending to look around. "Has he noticed me? No, wait-oh my god." --- After switching high schools, Nina discovered a new way of life. She fell in love, made wonderful friends, and everything seemed perfect. But Ethan-a popular boy who never focused on anyone but her-was the object of her hatred. He was always there, always keeping her safe. He used to annoy her endlessly. She hated him deeply. Until she didn't. For a while, she was content with her high school experience. That is, until something mysterious turned her world upside down. Forced to move to a new city, Nina had to cut ties with everyone she once knew. Eight years later, fate brings her face-to-face with him again. "Ethan..." He's the key to everything-the truths she never knew. When she was lost in the dark, he always held the light. But now, things are different. She despises him. He's colder than ever. Or perhaps she fears him. Fears that he'll leave her again. Will their lives ever return to normal after everything they've endured? "Maybe?" "Maybe yes. Maybe no?" --- Started: 8 November 2021 Ended: 19 December 2022 Rewritten: December 2024 --- ### Rankings Goals So Far: #1 Adolescente #1 given up #1 blinddates #1 pretend #10 twistedromance #50 high school romance --- ### Notice: This is my first published story, and it contains numerous grammatical errors and bad editing.

Things Left Unsaid | ✓
❝That's the thing about love. It isn't going to be easy, it isn't going to be smooth, but it's going to be worth it. Because sometimes you have to take the plunge. And you never know if you'll make it out again.❞ Maybe it's the way he looked at her that day in kindergarten or maybe it's the way he was there for her all those years. Whatever it was, somewhere along the way Kaylee fell for Dylan - hard. She soon realizes, however, that feelings can be misinterpreted and fate often doesn't play in her favor. When a rift forms between the two, all hope seems lost and Kaylee is forced to move on. But later, when fate finally decides to twist in her favor, Kaylee is given a second chance to fix their romance. As the two work through resetting their relationship, they soon learn that friendships often don't go as planned, relationships aren't actually that simple, and words are not always easily said. And in the end, everything may just crash and burn. ******************************************* Warning: Read at your own risk! This is my first story on Wattpad (which I wrote when I was 14), so you know what that means - cringe, plot holes, and errors. It's not the most well-written; there are decent chapters and bad chapters. I hope you decide to give this story a chance anyways, though.Complete
