"Please don't ever do this to me again... I was so hurt thinking I'd never have you..."
When life keeps tossing questions at Ashley, the only person with answers seems to be the one man she swore she'd never figure out - Michael. But the more she listens, the more she realises... some answers aren't spoken. They're felt. And some calls - like the river's - can't be ignored.
"Now Ashley has to face the truth: answering the river's call might just change everything... but will she survive the current?"

A boy who was forced to lie by choice A best friend confused between signals and silence. A counfused boy torn between what's right and what feels real. A heart too quiet to confess.

Did you usually pick the right choice?
Extra Credit
"Why do you always avoid my questions?" "I'm not, it's just that there's nothing to say. Who would ever want to date someone they can't even talk to? It's not rocket science. My eyes are weird, and people get tired of me eventually. There's your one-page essay. Now please don't snow me to death .-." "What? All that you just said is a lie. And I should snow you to death for even saying that! I would definitely date you." "...Thanks." 🍒｡･ﾟ♡ﾟ･｡🍓｡･ﾟ♡ﾟ･｡ Dallas Addison had it all; being a talented swimmer and dating the star of the football team, she didn't think she lacked anything in any capacity.

The Shadow of Comparison
"Growing up in someone else's shadow taught me one thing: finding myself was the hardest-and most beautiful-journey of all." School was supposed to be easy-a place to learn, laugh, and grow. But for her, it quickly became anything but simple. 🌿 Everyone around her seemed brighter, bolder, better. Every whispered compliment, every small success she didn't have, made her question herself. Slowly, the shadow of comparison began to follow her everywhere. Then college arrived-bigger, more dazzling, and full of surprises she never saw coming. Friendships that challenged her, choices that tested her, and moments that made her heart ache in ways she didn't expect. Could she navigate this new world without losing herself? From quiet school corridors to late-night reflections, from self-doubt to self-discovery, this story is about growing up, facing unexpected twists, and finding the courage to step out of the shadows. If you loved "The Goodbye We Never Said," you'll recognize the familiar struggles and heartfelt moments-and maybe even find yourself rooting for her as she learns to shine in her own light.Complete
Love Trust and Betrayal
Ashley, a young woman raised in a strict, conservative family, had always dreamed of attending college. But it was when her life turned upside down... "I trusted you," Ashley said, her voice filled with hurt and betrayal. "But now your words mean nothing to me, because your actions spoke the truth." ****** Ashley sat on the edge of her bed, a bottle of phenyl clutched tightly in her hand. Her mind raced with dark thoughts, the weight of betrayal and despair pressing down on her. She had tried to build a life outside her conservative family, but it seemed everything was falling apart. The bottle of phenyl, a symbol of finality, seemed to offer a way out of her pain. She took a deep breath, the acrid smell filling her nostrils. It was the end, she thought. A way to escape the misery, the traps she had fallen into. With a firm grip on the bottle, she tilted it towards her lips, her determination unwavering. "I hate you," she muttered, her voice barely a whisper. Just as she was about to take a sip, the doorbell rang, startling her. The sound echoed through the quiet room, a jarring interruption to her thoughts. She hesitated, her hand trembling slightly.Complete
