Some scars don't fade. And some silences never break.
She said yes when her heart whispered no.
He watched... and said nothing.
In a world of whispered lies and haunting echoes, Alessia is caught between a boy who speaks too loud-and one who never speaks at all.
What happens when silence is not comfort, but consequence?
Between Yes and Silence is a slow-burn tale of unspoken love, buried guilt, and choices that echo long after the words are gone.
Because sometimes, silence is the loudest betrayal.

The Honest Liar
He just stood there. Looking at me. The way I had reacted had put him in a state of shock. "I... I um," Every word I had learned from pre-school to now had just flew out of my mind and left me speechless. "I should go." I could tell he could barely hear the hurtful words I had just chocked out of my mouth, but I didn't care. Not anymore. I walked away. Fighting back tears. I drove all the way to my house and when I got there I fell against the cold wall. What had just happened? All I knew is that I wasn't able to think straight. My mind was clouded with memories of him. I shook my head trying to forget everything that was involved with him. But I wasn't able to forget. These thoughts were a part of me now. He was a part of me.Complete
The Ones we Shouldn't Love: ACT I
It starts fast-like lightning striking dry earth. What begins as a spark becomes a fire neither of them can contain. It's the kind of love that keeps you up at night, wide-eyed and breathless, not out of fear, but because you can't bear to miss a single moment. It bruises the heart in places no one sees, but never breaks it-never harms it. Just leaves fingerprints, soft and lingering. Leaving would be easier if love ever truly left. But it doesn't. It lingers in the walls, in the sheets, in the silence between words. One heart clings to memory, loving what was. The other leans into the unknown, loving what might be. And somewhere in between, love becomes a duty-an unspoken promise, heavy and unshakable. All she wants is quiet now. Not the silence of loneliness, but the stillness of peace. A place where her heart doesn't have to choose between two kinds of love-only rest in the safety of her own.
You Talk Too Much
Nicolas didn't want friends. Didn't want attention. Definitely didn't want her. But then Lina sat next to him. Every. Single. Day. She talked through the awkward silences, laughed at her own jokes, and asked questions he never answered. She was chaos in sneakers and bubblegum lip gloss - and he wanted nothing to do with her. ...Until he did. Because somehow, her noise started drowning out the thoughts he didn't know how to escape. And her voice became the only thing that made the silence bearable. This isn't a love story. Not at first. This is a story about a boy who lost his spark... And the girl who wouldn't let him disappear quietly. ✅ Nicolas ✅ Lina ✅ "You Talk Too Much" ✅ High school setting ✅ Healing + chaos + slow-burn (Btw I forgot to add that there will be no smut of any kind in this story. Maybe an innocent kiss or something but nothing else)
In the shadow of diamonds (The Diamond He Never Saw)
He never said he loved her. But sometimes silence cuts deeper than words ever could. Sienna never walked away-not really. She stayed, she waited, she felt, while Nicholas mastered the art of saying nothing. But in the stillness between them, something fragile began to fracture. Now, with their paths crossing again in the shimmer of winter and the shadows of old secrets, Sienna finds herself caught in the quiet pull of what could've been-and maybe still is. Leonardo offers her clarity. Warmth. A promise without conditions. But love isn't always a rescue-it can be a reckoning. Torn between a man who speaks in silences and another who says all the right things, Sienna must confront the past that shaped her and the future she dares to want. Because some hearts bruise without breaking. Some goodbyes are never spoken. And some shadows shine brighter than diamonds.Complete
