Almost Home by jinbug_2025

What happens when the man who calls you home treats you like an Airbnb? Jenny thought she had finally found something real - a man who held her like he never wanted to let go, who wrapped her in promises he never quite said out loud. But Cole is the kind of man who opens his arms while keeping his walls high. To him, love is a game of push and pull, closeness and distance, belonging and exile. He calls her his comfort, but reminds her she's replaceable. He lets her in, but never stays. He says home, but treats her like a guest passing through. Torn between passion and heartbreak, Jenny has to face the truth: this isn't just a love story, it's a journey of self-healing. Through late-night texts, rooftop confessions, and the ache of being almost chosen, she learns the hardest lesson of all - sometimes walking away is the only way to come home to yourself. A raw, modern romance about intimacy, attachment, and what it takes to stop loving someone who can't love you back.

Blue eyes in the rain by TyttiH

While Nate hides behind his computer screen, Tilly is drowning in the emptiness of their routine. When the weight of the silence becomes too much, she steps out into a relentless autumn rain and meets Ryan. He offers her a cup of coffee and something she hasn't felt in years: the feeling of being seen.

ACHIEVERS by EzeanyikaIjeoma

When a not so ordinary book falls into the hands of a book hater, the tales in the book unlocks doors in her life she never knew existed. AN EXCERPT FROM THE STORY: ** As I lay my back on my tiny bed, a few inches away from my parent's at the extreme end of the room, I stare deeply at our ceiling, I realize it has a lot of patched holes, even Jenna who is only a youth lives in a house better than this, now I even compare our lives with a fiction character, is it now this bad. **

Fate or Coincidence by Nahtaashah

This is a deeply personal, memoir-style journey through love, trauma, and resilience. Told through the raw and reflective voice of the writer, the story traces her relationship with K-a boy who entered her life during one of its darkest chapters. What begins as a quiet love formed in the shadows of grief soon becomes a lifeline, a bond that offers hope in the face of abandonment, violence, and heartbreak. But love alone is not enough to heal all wounds. As time passes, silence grows, promises break, and the author is left to pick up the shattered pieces of herself. Set against a backdrop of family conflict, emotional scars, and a search for identity, this is not just a story about first love lost-it's about survival. It's about the courage to walk away, the strength to heal, and the quiet power of finally choosing yourself.

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.

What If I Was Nothing? by FearghalLorcan

They loved hard, fought harder, and broke quietly. Ryan and Hannah were supposed to last - the kind of love that survives slammed doors, sleepless nights, and promises said in the dark. But love, as they learned, doesn't always fade in one clean motion. Sometimes it unravels, thread by thread, until you wake up beside someone you no longer recognize. After years of trying to fix what was already gone, Hannah walked away. Ryan stayed - until the silence between them became too heavy to bear. Years later, Ryan has rebuilt his world. A new home. A wife who makes him laugh. A baby boy who carries his smile. He's finally found peace in the wreckage. But when Hannah reappears one morning, holding all the words she never said, both are forced to face the truth: love doesn't die - it changes. And sometimes, the hardest part isn't losing each other. It's learning to live with what remains.

Eternal Echoes by JoanneLo22

⚠️ Warning Below This is the story of a little girl who learned to grow in the silence-like a wildflower blooming through cracks in concrete. She lived in a house of shadows, where the walls whispered violence, and silence became her shield. Her days were shaped by what was unspoken-by hands that harmed, by trust that fractured, by love that came laced with pain. But even in that stillness, something stirred. Instead of drowning in the quiet, she began to listen-to the words of others who had walked through similar storms. Their stories were not just stories. They were maps, mirrors, and lifelines. Through their truths, she began to uncover her own. Now, she turns inward and outward, breaking her own silence-not with a scream, but with a steady voice that has waited a lifetime to be heard. This book is not just about trauma. It is about the bones of a broken girl who built a life from what was left behind. It's about grief, and the ghosts of family. About the way innocence can be stolen, yet spirit still survives. It's about the quiet power of letting go. But above all-it's about freedom. The kind you find not by fighting, but by finally releasing what was never yours to carry. And if even one soul finds a piece of themselves in these pages, then her voice, at last, has done what silence could not. ⚠️WARNING Author's Note & Content Warning: This is a deeply personal and emotional story that touches on domestic violence and childhood sexual abuse. While written to bring awareness, healing, and understanding, I recognise these topics may be distressing for some readers.
