This isn't a love story. It's a warning. He said they were invincible. But between late-night drives, quiet confessions, and the slow decay of everything good, she learned the truth: he was already falling apart - and loving him only taught her how to break, too. What started as a soft, golden kind of love turned into something colder, sharper - a slow bleed disguised as romance.
And by the time she realized he wasn't just lost, but running, he was already too far gone to save himself.All Rights Reserved

Almost, Always 🍁🥀 by _velvetverse_

"Almost, Always" 🍁🌹 Some people enter your life like whispers...soft, sudden, and gone before you can hold on. She didn't expect to see him again. Not after years, not like this. Not when she had finally learned how to forget the boy who never truly left her mind. But fate isn't loud..it's quiet, casual... cruel. In a classroom filled with noise, their glances screamed stories. A slow-burn connection, unsaid words, and almosts that could've been everything. This is not a fairytale. This is a memory rewritten..with the ending she deserved.

NEVER MEANT TO BE by healeror

They met as strangers. Fell in love by accident. And fell apart on purpose. Because sometimes, loving someone means breaking your own heart first.

Endless (Reckless #2) by theaurorahonor

I never wanted this to happen. I never meant to fall in love, but I did and now look at what happened - I ruined everything. I told him I was a reckless soul. I warned him to stay away. But it didn't matter what I said or thought, my heart already made the decision. And what did I do? I did what I do best... I ran. DISCLAIMER: Please read the first book "Reckless" before this.

When Love Wasn't in My Plan by Ahgase7_

She promised herself never to fall again-not after the cracks her family left behind and the walls she built to protect her heart. Love was messy, dangerous, and definitely not in her plan. But then came the senior who showered her with attention, making her believe she was seen at last... until she realized she was only chasing an illusion. Just when she thought she was done with love forever, an unexpected presence stepped quietly into her life-a high school senior who had been watching from afar, who reached out not with promises but with comfort. Slowly, her carefully written plan began to blur, and she was forced to face the one thing she feared most: that sometimes, love finds you when you least want it... and when you need it the most.

Love Letters I Never Sent by penandprayer_

"He said I was too much... but maybe I was just too real." She loved like the songs she cried to at night - deeply, hopelessly, and always a little too soon. He was the kind of boy who said forever but meant maybe. And she? She believed him. This is not just a love story. It's a story about falling too hard, begging for pieces of someone who was already gone, and learning that sometimes, letting go isn't weakness - it's power. This novel is for every girl who had to choose herself after being someone's almost.

Cold Eyes by koni0lolli

Her world had never been soft. She'd learned too quickly that people could love you one day and rip the ground out from under you the next. So she built herself out of armor: cool smirks, careless words, the lie that she didn't care. She convinced everyone around her that she was untouchable, that she didn't need anyone to stay. That way, if they left, it wouldn't matter. But the truth was, she longed for the chaos. She trusted it more than stability, because at least chaos was honest. At least when something was toxic, when it was tension-filled and dangerous, you knew exactly where you stood- you knew it could hurt you. What unsettled her more was the idea of something pure, something kind, because that was where betrayal liked to hide. He's cold. She's reckless. And somewhere between jealousy, secrets, and a Halloween Party that changes everything Athena learns that sometimes the scariest thing isn't being hated. It's being wanted. *** Writing for my bestfriend!

Fallen For A Kiss by MensahPrince455

He was a city boy with a beautiful face - and a heart desperate for something deeper. Tired of shallow love and fake promises, he longed for a village girl - someone untouched by the noise, someone real. When life tore his family apart, it pushed him into the very place he always dreamed of - the village. That's where he met her. Soft smile, quiet eyes, and a soul that felt like peace. But she was already taken. And love doesn't wait for permission. He loved her in silence. He gave her everything - even when she gave nothing back. What started as a dream turned into an obsession. Then into heartbreak. Then into something much darker. Now, he's just a memory of who he used to be - lost in drugs, pain, and a love story that was never his to begin with. Some dreams don't come true. Some love stories were never meant to be written. This is one of them.

Closed doors, open hearts. by Deity_Milkovich009

𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙬𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙣𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙢𝙚𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙚. In the eyes of everyone else, they're just friends; untouchable, ordinary, and safe. But when the world isn't watching, the truth of whispered confessions in the dark gets heard, hands that linger too long are felt, and hearts beating too loud are revealed. Every secret moment feels like paradise, but also like walking on a knife's edge. Because if their love is uncovered, they both could lose everything, yet neither of them could imagine letting go of the other.

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.
