She swore she'd never look back.

	After Cole shattered her, Kylie disappeared-not for peace, but penance. New city. New name. No promises.

	She thought distance would numb the ache, that silence could bury the truth. But grief doesn't die quietly-it lingers, like a song stuck on a verse you never meant to write.

	And the worst part? Some days, she still hears his voice louder than her own.

18+ content with sexuality and domestic violence and traumatizing experience _________________________ Raised in a home where love was a foreign language, and in a school that made her question her worth every single day, she grew up mastering the art of silence. For five years, they bullied her. Her family watched. And no one ever asked, "Are you okay?" Then came him-charming, warm, and everything she thought she needed. Her first real taste of love... until he ripped her soul apart with betrayal. Heartbroken and reckless, she stumbled into someone new. A stranger who turned into a storm. Sparks flew, boundaries blurred, hearts collided. But when emotions got too real, she vanished... leaving behind a mess neither of them could forget. Years later, just when life finally seemed calm, her past returned-him. The boy she once dreamed of. The boy she never stopped loving. But this time, love isn't simple. Secrets. Regrets. Forbidden emotions. And a truth that could ruin everything. She's not the same girl anymore. And love? It's not the fairy tale she once believed in.

7 parts Complete Mature
Still In My Heart* I've been with many men before - some came and went like passing storms, others left marks I thought I'd never forget. But none stayed quite like him. I tried to move on, to forget, to close that chapter of my life. Yet, no matter how much time passes or how many new faces come my way, he remains - still in my heart. It's strange how love works. Sometimes, you think you've healed, only for a memory, a scent, or a simple name to pull you right back. That's how he is for me. The one I never expected to hold on to, yet the one I can't let go. This story isn't just about heartbreak or moving on - it's about the complicated beauty of love that lingers, the kind that shapes who you become. And no matter where life takes me, this truth stays he is still in my heart 🖇️

His Silence, My Storm: Drowning In Hope by manahilalihere
25 parts Complete
They say love begins in silence. But what happens when the silence lasts too long? This is not a love story about happily ever afters. This is a story about almosts- About late-night conversations that stopped just short of meaning something. About eye contacts that promised more, but always ended in friendship. In Part 1, she loved him quietly. In Part 2, she starts to speak- but still, he doesn't listen the way she hoped. She tries to become his safe place. She tries to heal his fear of attachment. She tries to read his mind, hold his hand without holding it, and love him in a way that feels patient-not desperate. But the more she hopes, the more she drowns. This is the continuation of a one-sided love story that became too heavy to carry. A confession soaked in unsent messages, mixed signals, and a storm of emotions that never found a home. Sometimes, loving someone means letting go. Sometimes, silence is louder than goodbye.
Still, She Hoped by just_yvette
38 parts Ongoing
She's a girl with a hopelessly romantic heart-someone who's always believed in soulmates, late-night talks, and love that feels like home. But reality hasn't been kind. Time after time, she's been cheated on, left to pick up the pieces of promises broken and dreams torn apart. Still, she holds onto hope, even when it hurts. Then, just when she's about to give up on love entirely, someone new enters her life. Unexpected. Gentle. Different. For the first time in a long while, she dares to believe again. She lets herself fall. And just when her heart begins to feel safe, he breaks it too-leaving her more lost than ever. She's a hopeless romantic-someone who's always dreamed of deep, lasting love, the kind that feels like fate and fills every quiet space in her heart. But life hasn't followed the script she imagined. She's been cheated on more times than she can count, each betrayal carving a deeper wound, each lie dimming the light inside her. Still, she keeps hoping. Her mind is a storm-racing thoughts, endless questions, memories she can't escape. Why wasn't she enough? Will anyone ever stay? She tries to make sense of the chaos, holding onto that small, fragile thread of belief that love is still out there. Then someone new arrives-unexpected and warm, just different enough to make her believe that maybe, just maybe, things will be different this time. She opens her heart again. She lets herself feel. But the pattern repeats. He leaves. And the pain hits harder, because this time she truly thought it would last. Now, with too much on her mind and a heart full of silent screams, she stands at the edge of hope and heartbreak, still wishing-against all odds-that real love will find her. "She believed in love, even after being broken again and again. With a mind full of storms and a heart full of cracks, she still hoped someone would choose to stay."

Seventeen years passed. She waited--patiently, silently, faithfully. Holding onto the memory of a boy who once looked her in the eyes and promised forever. And then, after all those years, she saw him again. But something was wrong. His smile wasn't the same. His eyes didn't light up the way they used to. Did he still remember? Did he still carry that promise in his heart the way she did? Or was she the only one who never let go? People are full of words--so easy to say, so easy to forget. They promise to love you. Promise to stay. Promise not to hurt you. Promise you forever. But at the end of the day, promises are just that words. And like they always say... Promises are meant to be broken.
