His calm presence and unwavering belief in her abilities spark something within her that she thought was long gone. Through their rekindled friendship, Maia begins to rediscover her confidence and passions, realizing that sometimes, the path to the future isn't about planning every step - it's about embracing the moments that help you find yourself again.
Together, they explore the delicate balance between the fears of the future and the power of love and friendship, helping Maia take back control over her life and overcome the shadows that once held her back.

"You were worried about me, Specs?" He smirked. "No, Tyler. I hoped that someone cut up your corpse and fed it to paranas. Obviously I was, you idiot! I'm a doctor. Worrying about people is kind of programmed into my system. It's a curse if you ask me," I surprised myself a lot more than I thought was possible with my answer. And what did he do? Laugh! He fucking laughed! Not full on rolling- on- the- floor laughter but a laugh nonetheless. "This isn't funny, Tyler." "It kind of is. Almost a month ago, I would've sworn that you hated me. Be careful, Specs," he squinted down at me, "or you might actually sound as if you like me." I rolled my eyes. "Don't flatter yourself. I was concerned. Don't confuse that with affection. It's two very, very different things." *** When you think that all is not lost in the world. That not all men are pricks and that not all sushi is bad. When you think that there is a light, no matter how dim, at the end of the tunnel. When you think that life isn't the ruthless bitch you've always thought it was... It turns around and bites you in the ass. When you think that the past will always and forever remain where it should be... It comes at you from every direction. Like a violent tsunami destroying everything...and everyone in it's path. Can you change what happened? I wish. Can you stop what's going to happen? God! I really hope so.Abgeschlossene Geschichte

Camp Where The Hell Are We? | ✓
Completed. ☼ " Her denial, that was like a dam holding back a flood of feeling, of sweet relief for desperate soil, holding back a flood it stood no chance against, as yet another crack formed with a strong wave that already knew it had won. On the other side Marley stood, watching her dam's inevitable, impending destruction - fearing, knowing, that quenching her aching thirst would be synonymous with drowning, would be synonymous with coming up for air, would be synonymous with surrendering to a force of nature that was beautiful in all its calm, but terrifying in all its chaos. He absentmindedly tucked a loose flyaway behind her ear. Right then. Another crack in her last line of defence. Another rolling back of a wave, gaining strength, beating against the tired concrete. Another overflow rolling above the wall, droplets racing to sink into her every vulnerable place. Another enigma - still being afraid, while watching the water, and feeling the ache " ☼ Praise for 'Camp Where The Hell Are We?'

I Loved You Blindly [Complete]
'Accidents happen'. That's what people say. Yet, some accidents take away from us more than others. Ethan had it all. Everything was lined up in front of him. Popularity, looks, friends, a hot girlfriend and a promised future in football. In one incident that resulted in a horrible accident, he lost it all. The best friend, the girlfriend, the planned future and his sight. Fighting through darkness and depression, he built high walls that kept everyone out. Skye suffered loss too, but she kept strong for the sake of her little brother, Matt. With her aunt and brother, leaving home and moving to a new place seemed like the perfect solution. A new start that they all needed. Skye's plan was to blend in and keep to herself. Well, not the easiest task when it was obvious as daylight that you were the new girl at school. Especially when she, literally, bumped into Ethan. For Ethan who has been isolating himself and absolutely independent that he pushed everyone away, and Skye being stubborn and not in-the-least shy on saying what she thought openly, fighting and bickering was unpreventable. Skye saw through the walls that Ethan has built around himself. Drawn to him, slowly, their friendship started to turn into something else.

SEE RIGHT THROUGH ME
" 'Cause if I know you see me falling, You'll be right there to pick me up" Liyah never meant to fall this fast. She's the shy-but-outgoing type - the kind of girl who laughs things off, bites her tongue, and lets stuff slide just to keep the peace. Communication isn't her strong suit, and standing up for herself never came easy. But when Kayzon walks into her life, everything she thought she knew about protecting her heart gets complicated. Kayzon's got his own story - one written in pain, loss, and walls too high for most people to climb. His past made him hard, quiet, and guarded, but somehow, Liyah gets past the surface. She makes him feel seen again. Safe, even. What starts as late-night conversations and lazy afternoons in her dorm turns into something deeper, something neither of them expected. But when two people carrying their own kind of hurt collide, love doesn't always heal - sometimes, it exposes. Did they move too fast, or did they just find each other at the wrong time?
