The Space .... 'Between Us'

A love story that started nine weeks before the end.

〃〃

"We shouldn't be doing this."
"Then tell me to stop."

〃〃

They met in the middle of a fight.

She was the girl with the mic, the plan, the perfectly crafted war.

He was the boy in the back row with too many scars and no patience for idealism.

〃〃

"You're just performing."
"And you're just hiding."

〃〃

They weren't supposed to fall for each other.

They were supposed to pass each other like smoke in the hallway - not end up tangled in borrowed hoodies, half-finished playlists, library confessions, and the kind of touch that didn't feel casual no matter how many times they tried to fake it.


〃〃

"That night you came on my tongue, shaking?"
"Stop."
"No. Because now you're looking at him like he even belongs in the same world."

〃〃

Nine weeks.
One campus.
Too many almosts and one final goodbye.

This isn't a love story about forever.
It's about the space between.

This will burn. And it will hurt. And you'll want more.

Like a bolt of lightning, this stupid boy appeared in my life. First day of summer break between first and second grade, he just appeared- standing on my porch like he was born there. Straight brown hair, wide dark eyes and a fresh sunburn across his cheeks. He was already talking before I even opened the door. I don't know how it happened but it's been ten years. And he's still here. Talking, whether or not I'm listening. Laughing, even if no one else is. He's still too quick- racing around the world like he's scared he's going to miss it. He's gotten taller...much taller. His hair is a little longer, a little wavier, but under the light it still looks the same golden brown it did when we were nine. And now, finally, he was a high school graduate. We both were. Like a bolt of lightning he appeared and like the sun he refused to disappear. _____________________________________________ I fell asleep with my chin pointed at him, the outline of his face being the last thing I saw. How was I supposed to do this? It had always been difficult, hiding this secret, keeping him close. But now, my focus was starting to slip. I couldn't see anything but his lips, his hands, his smile. I couldn't hear anything but my name in his mouth, his jagged breaths and that loud laugh. How am I supposed to be okay with this? How am I supposed to focus on anything other than him? #1- slowburn- 11.10.25🥇 #1- friends to lovers- 11.01.25🥇 #1- fluffandsmut- 11.02.25🥇 #1- college- 11.06.25🥇 #1- best friends- 11.12.25🥇 #1- teammates- 12.04.25 🥇 #1- college roommates- 12.30.25🥇 #1- mental health- 01.02.2026 🥇 #1- gay love- 01.02.2026 🥇 #2- roommates- 12.18.25🥈 #3- bxblove- 11.30.25🥉 #4- boyxboy- 11.01.25 #4- lgbt- 11.15.25 #14- boyxboyromance- 12.15.25 #22- basketball- 12.15.25

WARNING‼️This book contains abstruse topics such as Dark Love, Abuse, Violence etc if you are not comfortable with the above please feel free to swipe past this book. "Please take me home" I no longer felt like going to work I didn't want my patient to see me devastated and terrified. After a few minutes we reached my apartment as I was about to get out he locked the doors I shivered feeling him turn towards me by now my eyes were glossy. I slowly turned to look at him the smell of blood was painted on him the tears rolled down my cheeks his thick thumb wiped them away my body was shaking I was terrified of this man when his skin made contact with mine my body tingled with a foreign emotion, I looked up at his eyes letting him touch me afraid he would kill me if I moved. "Goodnight my Queen" I shivered at the title he had given me, I was scared to the bone and I was not about to argue with him while he had a taste for blood the look in his eyes told me he still wanted more when he entered the car earlier on. He tenderly kissed my forehead lingering as my heart exploded I waited patiently and shut my eyes praying for him to remove his lips from my skin so I could go home. He finally did and when he unlocked the car doors I jumped out and hurried to my apartment not looking back at the devil in the car. I finally reached my apartment panting and shut the door sliding down my door crying hysterically, I could still feel his cold lips on me. What did I just witness tonight. What did I get myself into. I was scared of the future because I knew surely he would be back to check on his Queen.

The Guy in My Spanish class by molliepollie2

This time, I can't help but flinch as touches me and pulls the other strap down .. baring my other shoulder to his eyes. "Anthony, you can't say those things. We ... we're supposed to be best friends." He kisses my shoulder and the words come out weak, unbelievable .. unconvincing even, as they come from my own lips. Anthony stays quiet after what I say, or rather he ignores me, instead using his other hand to play with the skin on my stomach exposed from the top. "I know .." He trails off. I hold my breath in wait, the temporary silence sending my mind spinning at the situation that'd developed. "But I don't know if that's enough for me, B." Anthony moves my hair to side as he says the words endearingly. And then there's another kiss to pair. Although it isn't a simple peck this time. It's an actual kiss, slow and softly pressed into the nape of my neck. Beatrix thought she'd never trust another guy again. Her last relationship had changed her, in so many ways that she hated. The experience had been unbelievable and both unbearable. After doing the first year and a half of college online, she transfers to the esteemed, private Highland University with just one wish: Normalcy. The plan was simple .. just keep her head down, study her ass off, try to become a functional person once again and hopefully make one friend or two. Everything was supposed to start over that year, a fresh start for her. She'd had high hopes and was faithfully prepared to blend in to the background. And it does go well. Until she sits down in Spanish, where she meets Anthony Gamaro. Beatrix finds herself in an odd friendship with the 20 year old football player. One that's strangely wholesome and slowly helps her begin to open up a bit. Not just to him but new friends, opportunities and the college experience of course, filled with studying, stress, partying, fun and some drama.

**LOVE HITS YOU UNEXPECTEDLY.... IT'S LIKE A RAY OF HOPE IN THE DARKEST OF THE NIGHTS, LIFTING YOU UP AND SHOWING YOU THE LIGHT...** People say high school is the best part of a person's life. High school is where you make the most precious of your memories but *Ruth Monroe* has never believed in this. She's a book girlie who's longing to be the main character, waiting for her one and only. Tired of the same routine, she desperately wishes for something, a change, a reason. But what she did not expect was *Axel Hudson*. The handsome boy who just moved in next door. And the best thing? He's in the same school as her. Oh! and he plays football and loves to read books like her- though not the soppy romance one- as he like to phrase it. With memories of her past still haunting her, Ruth's barely managing to stay afloat. But with the amazing boy who's slowly but surely taking place in her heart, she's ready to let go of her fears. But with Axel's past threatening his present, will they stay together or will everything fall apart? . . . **"Hey Glasses!" I turn when I hear Axel calling me from behind "I love you" and he places a kiss on my forehead I smile and wrap my arms around him "And I love you more..."**
