Cynical Souls
COMPLETED✅ Two high school teenagers finding themselves, analyzing this ever changing world, and building love. This is the type of love you wish you found in high school but probably know way too well that it only exists as fiction. Today I'm turning my fiction to reality. ❣️•••❣️ Excerpt: Just as I was about to seek shelter under some building's roof, the tires of a car come to a halt, I wonder who might pity the lonely girl walking in the rain. The passenger window rolls down, and I spot the most unexpected person seated behind the wheel. "Get in" comes out his voice, and I must've stood there agape for a few moments because next comes his rhetorical question. "Are you getting in or continuing walking in the rain?" Eyebrows raised expectantly. He sounds annoyed, like he regrets his decision to ever stop and help me. ❣️•••❣️ #5 in cynical #2 in loveandfriendship #1 in opinionated #4 in ihatelife #10 in nerdgirl #10 in HighschoolRomance #26 in GoodGirlBadBoy *contains mature themes. *contains cursing.Complete
The Bestfriends
"She was broken by vows-he healed her with silence. Sometimes, love doesn't arrive late... it simply waits its turn. From best friends to soulmates-when the heart finally sees what's always been there." There was once a girl who believed in forever, until her forever turned cruel behind closed doors. Astrid gave her vows to Adolf, a man whose love was a storm with no calm, whose hands never held, whose words only wounded. She stayed, at first, for hope. Then, for fear. Then, for nothing at all. But even in her silence, Someone heard her heart breaking. Tyron-her best friend, her quiet witness. The boy who knew her laugh before the world dimmed it. The man who stood by her shadow, offering light without asking for anything in return. Years passed. Hearts weathered. And when her cage was finally broken, She turned-and there he was. Not waiting. Just... there. As he always was. This is not just a story of love, But of rescue without rescue. Of friendship that grew roots beneath pain. Of two souls learning that sometimes, The greatest love stories are born from the quietest beginnings. ************************************************************************************************** 01302023Monday1246pm edited04232025 ************************************************************************************************** Disclaimer: This story is the author's fruit of imagination...
