Mia Carter is no stranger to uncertainty. With a quirky sense of humor, a tight-knit friend group, and a love for spontaneous adventures, she's managed to stay grounded-until Tyler walks into her life.

Charming, older, and enigmatic, Tyler pulls Mia into a whirlwind summer romance filled with late-night drives, effortless laughter, and magnetic chemistry. For the first time in a long while, Mia feels truly seen. Tyler is everything she didn't know she needed-thoughtful, caring, and disarmingly present. As their connection deepens, Mia lets herself fall.

But cracks begin to show. Tyler grows distant, retreating into silence just as Mia opens up completely. Then-without warning-he's gone. No explanation. No closure. Just the aching absence of what felt like real love.

Left reeling, Mia spirals. Was it something she did? Was she not enough? Her world, once full of light, dims under the weight of longing and confusion. As she struggles to move on, she loses pieces of herself chasing answers Tyler won't give.

The Space Between Us is a raw and emotional journey through heartbreak, healing, and rediscovering your worth after someone you love disappears. In the space he leaves behind, Mia begins to realize the most important relationship she'll ever have is the one she builds with herself.All Rights Reserved

Connections | ✔️ by CxTannir

[COMPLETE] Sorry this may be cringe, it was written very long ago A seemingly ordinary, working college girl meets a cool, undeniably sexy boy with millions of followers at his feet. How will their completely different lives allow, or prevent them from getting what they want? Expect some drama, flirty lines, steamy scenes, funny best friends, and perhaps, an overall epic love connection. ~ Carter came around the corner as his eyes darkened with a predatory gaze. Oh no. He took a step forward, minimalizing the distance with every dominating stride, as I froze in my spot. My breath hitched as his arms finally encircled my waist and his eyes locked with mine. In one swift motion, he flipped my body so my back was pressed against his chest and hands gripped the curve of my hips. "What game are you trying to play at Valerie?" he spoke in a husky voice. Goosebumps danced along my skin as his hot breath fanned against the shell of my ear and his fingertips lit a trail of blazing heat along the length of my arm. Mentally shaking myself from the trance of that which is Carter Bryson, I tilted my head towards him and whispered; "One where you'll lose." Quickly escaping his hold on me before the tension became unbearable, I spun on my heel to face him and slowly backed away towards the exit. "Good luck though." I added mischievously. With a smirk and a devilish glint in his eyes that could even give hell a run for its money, he replied; "I'm not a player though, baby. I'm the gamemaker." ~ ❗️Mature content.

Loving The Outcast Girl by demejoy

She was the girl they left behind. Forgotten by the people who were supposed to love her most. Mia used to shine. She was top of her class-bright, focused, the girl everyone expected to succeed. Intelligent, dependable, always a step ahead. But when her father died and her mom left with her younger siblings, something in her dimmed. The spark that once made her stand out began to flicker beneath the weight of survival. She was sixteen, alone and broke. When Mia lost everything, her best friends, the very ones who once promised to stand by her no matter what, walked away without looking back. They didn't want to be dragged down with her. Her downfall was inconvenient, and their loyalty was never meant to survive the fall. And the final blow? One of them ended up with the boy Mia had quietly liked for years. She didn't just lose her family. She lost her place in the world. Mia faded into the background-unseen, unchosen, forgotten. Until a new student transferred to Suncrest Academy. Liam Alcaraz was handsome and hot. He was everything she wasn't: wealthy, magnetic, adored. But for reasons Mia couldn't explain, he only had eyes for her. Everyone in school remembered her name. Whispers started. Rumors followed. Jealousy brewed in quiet corners and loud hallways. For the first time in a long while, people looked her way-not with pity, but with curiosity, envy, and something sharper. But Mia didn't shrink. Not this time. Something inside her had shifted. She stood taller, spoke clearer, moved through the world as if it didn't owe her anything-and still, she would claim her place in it. Not for them. Not even for him. But for the girl she used to be-the one she almost forgot. And maybe... for a love she never thought she'd deserve.
