Behind every laugh, there's a silence. Behind every smile, a hidden tear.

"Fading Echoes" tells the quiet yet powerful story of Liya Sharma, a young girl stepping into a new school, a new seat, and a new life - without ever really understanding why. She hides her fears behind bright eyes and friendly words, even as her heart trembles with questions she's too small to ask.

From the pressure of school marks to the bittersweet warmth of family moments, Liya navigates a world that seems normal to everyone else... but to her, it echoes. Echoes of memories she can't explain. Emotions too heavy for her little shoulders. And a sadness so quiet, not even she realizes it's depression.

As vacations pass, classrooms fill, and hills whisper secrets in the wind, Liya smiles... because that's what she's learned to do.

But what happens when the echoes get louder?

A coming-of-age story wrapped in unspoken pain, gentle victories, and a voice that longs to be heard - Fading Echoes will stay with you long after the last page.All Rights Reserved

A Self-love Story by Kirsten_Sharp

Bliss. Delight. Contentment. Euphoria. Elation. Joy. Glee. Felicity. Jubilation. These are all words synonymous to the word happiness. But what is true happiness? Happiness is that feeling of butterflies fluttering around in your chest, trying to break out. Happiness is that invisible fluid rushing in your veins, making you shiver in the most wonderful way. Happiness is the force that pulls your cheeks up into the widest smile and makes your eyes twinkle. Happiness makes you light-headed and giddy, it is in fact like alcohol. Well then, I am utterly and completely drunk. When you're happy, everything feels amazing. Even small insignificant things like getting up in the morning. The golden hue of sunlight streaming in through the curtains feels like a soft caress from the hand of a lover. The birds seem to chirp sweetly outside, a melody to which the leaves sway as if mesmerised by their music. The curtains tango with the wind beautifully. Every little thing seems perfect. And that's a word I'd use to describe my life. Perfect. To give you a little introduction about me, let me start by explaining the most important aspects of my life. I have a loving family. There's my sarcastic, yet surprisingly sweet brother, my beautiful mother (both in looks and spirit) and my stern, yet humorous father. I have the best best friend, Charlotte and I have an amazing boyfriend, Theo. I'm quite beautiful and popular too which I'm not saying to brag, I'm just stating the truth. So that is my life. The life of Tia-Jade Garcia. *** What she didn't know was that every high has a low and that the higher you rise, the lower you fall and the more painful that fall is. Follow her story as she loses everybody she ever cared for and thereby her happiness. See her fight all of her demons by herself. Watch her fall in love...with herself because the only person's love you'll always need is yours. This is her self-love story.

The Shadow of Comparison by AGR2808

"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.

Echoes Of The HeartBeat by Muhammad_Ali05

Echoes Of The HeartBeat is an emotionally intense, poetic love story that traces the quiet journey of a reserved university student, Ali, as he navigates deep internal pain and the silent turmoil of one-sided love. The narrative begins after Ali's traumatic breakup and explores his emotional solitude and inner transformation as he joins a new university. With a paralyzed father and no emotional support, Ali becomes distant and misunderstood. His world silently shifts when he sets his eyes on Miraal, a graceful and kind senior girl who unknowingly becomes the center of his healing and emotional rebirth. The story captures Ali's inner world - full of unspoken thoughts, poetry, and emotional depth - as he silently admires Miraal from afar. Despite never speaking directly to her, her presence begins to change him, offering warmth to his otherwise cold and broken heart. Their connection remains unspoken but emotionally powerful, culminating in a university cricket tournament where Miraal's silent support boosts Ali's confidence. However, tragedy looms as the final match brings both triumph and heartbreak, leading to a hospital scene that tests Ali's emotional limits. Through soft poetic tones, rich internal monologues, and cinematic expressions, Echoes Of The HeartBeat is a heartfelt tribute to unspoken emotions, silent love, and the hope that even the quietest heartbeats leave echoes in the world.

Shattered echoes by rjlee2008

When a love that once felt unbreakable fractures, the aftermath is nothing short of devastation. Shattered Echoes tells the story of a girl who thought she had it all-until the boy she loved pulled away, piece by piece, leaving her questioning everything she thought she knew about love, self-worth, and heartbreak. After a passionate and confusing reunion, Tanner's indifference shatters what little hope she had left. As their connection fades, she is left to pick up the broken pieces of her heart and soul. Through moments of confusion, regret, and the cruel cycle of longing, she tries to make sense of the boy who couldn't give her the love she thought she deserved. When a picture with another girl finally pushes her to the edge, the weight of his betrayal forces her to confront the truth-she can't change the past, and she can't change him. But she can choose to rebuild. Shattered Echoes is a raw, unflinching exploration of how love can break us, but also how it can teach us to heal, grow, and rediscover our strength. As the protagonist learns to let go, she comes to realize that sometimes the hardest part of healing isn't moving on from the past-it's learning to move forward with ourselves. Based on a true story between me and my ex which is still continuing to happen.

Her Heart, His Words by SilentSoulLetters

Anaya Verma is the quiet girl in class - the one who slips through hallways unnoticed, her presence softer than a whisper. She fills her evenings with unwritten poems, long solo walks, and a playlist that understands her better than people do. But one night, a stranger leaves a comment on her Instagram post - a comment that feels like it touched the part of her soul no one ever noticed. The stranger is Vihaan. A boy she's never met, but somehow, she feels safe with him. As their midnight messages deepen, Anaya begins to trust the unseen connection... until real life intervenes. Aaryan, her silent classmate - the one who always sat two benches behind - starts noticing her too. Now caught between Vihaan's thoughtful texts and Aaryan's quiet presence, Anaya must choose... Between the boy who reads her poems from afar... and the boy who sees her without needing words. A soft love story about fragile hearts, secret poetry, and the blurry line between the real and the digital.

Everything I Thought Was You by ink_of_eternity

She loved one boy who disappeared into silence. She leaned on another who stayed long enough to shatter her. And then-she vanished too. Afiiya never meant to fall in love. Not the first time, not the second. But grief is strange, and so is healing-and between both, something like love crept in. A car. A crash. A death that wasn't what it seemed. A confession too late. A kiss that was never real. He searched for her when she disappeared. She wept for a boy she thought she lost. And when truth returned-it didn't knock, it roared. Now, three hearts stand at a crossroads: The boy who walked away. The boy who dreamed too deeply. And the girl who must choose which pieces to keep. This is not just a love story. It is what love becomes-when it burns, breaks, dreams, and dares to come back.

Where the Cracks Let Love In by shas_writzz

"Where the Cracks Let Love In" is not just a story-it's a heartbeat stretched across time, pain, and the fragile beauty of second chances. Aarav once believed love could fix everything. With a guitar in hand and music in his soul, he poured his heart into a girl who couldn't stay-not because she didn't love him, but because love alone wasn't enough. When expectations crumbled, so did he. What remains is a man haunted by what could've been... until a new presence enters like a quiet storm. Siya. Grounded. Real. Unafraid to meet his silence with sincerity. She doesn't live in dreams-she lives in truth. And somehow, in her calm, Aarav finds a reason to breathe again. But life never unfolds without a twist. A missed heartbeat. A hidden truth. A choice that could change everything. From heartbreak to healing, from broken strings to lullabies, this is a story of unexpected love, accidental beginnings, and the courage it takes to choose someone-not once, but over and over again. Because sometimes, love doesn't come the way we imagine. It arrives through the cracks-soft, steady, and meant to stay.
