Bittersweet skies
Emily's life was built on broken promises and muffled silence-the kind of silence that happens when a family cracks under the weight of a father's betrayal. At nineteen, she knew one thing for certain: she couldn't depend on anyone else to save her mother and little sister, Emma. She had to save herself first. Leaving the cramped comfort of home wasn't a choice; it was a desperate strategy. Across an ocean and under a foreign sky, she sought independence, a good education, and the power to protect the two people she loved most. But trading familiarity for a new kind of isolation came with a bitter cost. Loneliness became her roommate, and the pain of a past heartbreak convinced her that trust was a currency she could no longer afford to spend. Then, everything shifts. In the dazzling, confusing labyrinth of a brand-new city, Emily meets a stranger who offers a hand when she expects a challenge. He sees not the guarded, hurting girl she pretends to be, but the fiercely determined woman she's becoming. As he helps her navigate a demanding new world, the thin walls Emily built around her heart begin to crumble. Bittersweet Skies is the story of a girl who flew halfway across the world to escape ruin, only to discover that the truest strength lies not in struggling alone, but in learning to trust a love that finally feels like coming home.
Not good for you
"This was just supposed to be summer fun. That was what we agreed on." I tried to talk to him as he was vigorously shaking his head, tearing his gaze away from me. "You were never just a summer fun to me." He stared into my eyes and I felt exposed because I might have developed some feelings for him that I've never wanted to face. Heddy Lopez has just barely graduated and is trying to find the purpose of her life when her friends take her away for the summer before they go on separate ways. Little did she know that an old crush and complicated relationships would cross her way again making her last high school summer completely different than she'd expected it to be. Secrets, heartbreaks, and empty promises siege her over and over again. And they never seem to stop. But how much an already broken heart could take before fully giving up?

Only the Remnant
When the plane went down, eight students from prestigious Ridgemont Prep walked out of the wreckage. Stranded in the endless wilderness, they must fight hunger, storms, and the forest itself just to stay alive. But survival is only part of the battle. Liv has spent her life carrying everyone else's burdens-her mother's grief, her brother's chaos, her own silence. Faizah has lived under the crushing weight of perfection, shaped by parents who never saw her for who she was. The two share a past that was messy, angry, and unfinished-one that burned as much as it bound. Now, in the ruins of the crash, Liv and Faizah are forced back together. Every argument cuts deeper than hunger, every stolen moment burns brighter than fire. In the wreckage, they must decide whether love can grow from the ashes of pain-or if the past will destroy the fragile remnant of who they are. A story of survival, love, and the dangerous beauty of what remains.Complete![His Butterfly [Edited]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/278554630-256-k128193.jpg)
His Butterfly [Edited]
In the world we are living in, everyone experiences love once; a true love. Our life is the same as a journey where people leave their stories behind, some bitter and some sweet. Some of them are lessons and some motivation. We learn about ourselves, our path, our desires, our happiness, our sadness and... our regrets. Like anyone else, we had a story in this journey of life. A story of friendship, a story of love, the story of a... Butterfly. I wish I could tell you how much you were important to me, I wish I could tell you how much I loved you and would have done anything to make you stay. You came like a Butterfly into my life, colorizing my dull life, and left like one so soon that it hurt. Mine and forever, my beautiful Butterfly, my Harmony. Love, your AxelComplete

possessive psychopath
That encounter was supposed to be ordinary. Just a girl showing pity to a wounded stranger in a dark alley. But for Alex, it was fate. When Bella rescued him and brought him to her apartment, she had no idea that the man she saved wasn't just a victim-but a monster with a dark past and a deadly obsession. At first, Alex appeared weak, hurt, and distant. But after Bella treated his wounds, something inside him shifted. He saw her as his. Only his. No one else was allowed to touch her, approach her, or hurt her-except himself. Behind his handsome face and piercing gaze, lay a damaged soul, haunted by trauma... and an unnatural kind of love. Bella never imagined that her act of kindness that night would trap her in a story filled with pain, blood, and possessive love. ---Complete
The Wrong Kind of Love
Some loves are whispered. Some are hidden. Some can tear a family apart. Maya never meant for it to happen. She was supposed to be Ellie's best friend-the constant, the confidante, the one person Ellie could always trust. But then there was Leo: strong, steady, scarred by loss. A man who should have been untouchable. One glance too long. One laugh that lingered. One moment too close-and the boundaries they swore to protect began to crack. Now, every lie feels heavier. Every silence burns hotter. And as desire grows in the shadows, so does the risk: of betrayal, of heartbreak, of losing everything they thought was unshakable. What begins as a spark becomes a storm. And when the truth finally breaks through, love may not be enough to save them.
And Still, I loved you.

Fallen from the Sky
Hello! This is a story I wrote a few years ago when I was 11/12. It is not the best written at the start but I didn't want to edit it (it gets better as my writing improves). It involves a school trip where the plane crashes, killing the pilot and landing them on a tropical island. Some parts are cringy and give me second-hand embarrassment, but you'll just have to experience the pain too! Hope you like it :)Complete
