In a world that never slowed down for her pain, Kye found herself drowning in silent battles - overthinking, heartbreak, loneliness, and the weight of never feeling "enough." But through all her darkest moments, he stayed. Her best friend. The boy who made her laugh when she wanted to cry, who noticed the little things no one else did. For two long years, Kye kept a secret buried deep: she liked him. Maybe more than she ever meant to.
This is a story of quiet suffering, unseen loyalty, and the kind of love that never asks for anything back - until one day, it might.

Almost, Always 🍁🥀
"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.

My Quiet Heart Could Breathe:Before the silence
He came to this town with nothing but a name and the echo of people he can't bring back. Grief doesn't knock-it settles in. And when it did, it left him quiet. Numb. Watching the world go on like nothing cracked beneath his skin. Then came Tyler. Loud, chaotic, bright. The kind of person who doesn't ask permission to exist. The kind of person you'd follow without knowing why. He made things feel like maybe they could be okay. But this isn't the kind of story you think it is. It isn't about falling in love. It's about hiding it. About swallowing every word that might give you away. It's about watching someone save your life without knowing they're doing it. About pretending you're not breaking when you are. This is not a love story. It's the story of silence. Of surviving. Of what it costs to bury who you are, even from the person you need most. It's a confession written in the margins of pain. Read closely. Some truths are only heard when everything else goes quiet.Complete
Kisses Didn't Cure Me
*She spent her whole life searching for something that didn't exist - not in her family, not in the boys who swore they loved her, and definitely not in the mirror. Alone in a world that never made space for her softness, she gave up on love altogether. Until him. A man who didn't rush her healing, didn't flinch at her scars, and didn't leave when she tried to push him away. But love, for her, has never been gentle. And kisses? They never cured her before... so why would this be any different? "Kisses Didn't Cure Me" is a story about heartbreak, trauma, solitude, and the slow, dangerous art of learning to trust again.*Complete
Cold Eyes
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!
All of The Girls
She knew he'd been in love before. Not just once, not just in passing. Real, deep, messy love. And maybe that should've been her sign to keep her distance. To not let herself feel too much. But instead, it made her pause. Because the way he talked about them-the girls before her- it wasn't bitter. It wasn't dramatic. It was quiet. Thoughtful. Almost gentle. He remembered birthdays, late-night calls, stupid little details no one else would hold on to. He loved them well. Or at least, he tried. And that's what messed her up. Because it made her want to fall even harder. And at the same time, it made her want to run. She wasn't afraid of his past. She was afraid that someone like him-someone who had already given so much-might not have anything left for her. Or worse, that he would love her the same way. And she'd fall for it, just like they did. And end up as another name he says gently, years, from now.
Cherish Every Moment Book 2: Secrets
Secrets: everyone has them; he had many. "Hey girl. You alright?" was all that, that gentle voice had to say to make the tears break free again. She wanted to wail, to scream, and generally break down. She wanted to be held in his arms, in hers. It didn't matter; she could have neither and it broke her heart. She took several deep breaths to try and find her calm before even trying to speak. Her friend, knowing her better than most ever would, waited patiently, in silence for her to answer. No. She was not alright.Complete
