I still love you, you know that
I woke up with my hair matted to my forehead from the sweat. Not again, I thought as I wrapped my arms around my chest and began to softly rock myself. Those words lingered in my head, desperately wanting to be said to him.
Alex is a 22 year old woman trying to move away from her past and make a new life for herself, but when an opportunity arises for her to see someone who meant so dearly to her, but tossed her aside, she decided to take it hoping it would put closure on the constant pain. But she never thought that anything like this would happen. Now, she's in too deep and it may break her beyond repair.
Caelan thought things would be easier this way, he thought she could make a life for herself outside of him and settle down with someone who wouldn't be constantly traveling. She deserved someone who could actually be there for her, not only a few months out of the year. Someone who had his life together and could love her to the fullest.
Dillon may have left with Caelan for the tour, but he always remained closed to Alex and slowly began to love her over the years. He thought he could put the pieces of her heart back together and fix what his friend destroyed. But he may have damaged her more than anyone else.

Gambit (Obsessions in Overdrive #2)
Previously known as The Accident --------- She is beautiful. So fucking beautiful. She is a star and I would become an astronomer for her and I would study for the rest of my life and I would bleed, sweat and cry day and night just so I can understand her beauty. I would want the other stars to be jealous of her since no matter how big and bright they shine, she will always be the brightest one illuminating the night sky. She's better than everyone. I constantly think about how she can do so much better and how she deserves to be with someone who will notice everything amazing about her and not just use her. She needs to be with someone who will notice how she laughs. How confident she is. How she talks. The way her smile is different from the rest and the way her eyes glow when you talk about the stars. They should notice how her hair flows and how she can talk all day.

See you ✓
It's an excerpt from Victor Hugo's "Les Misérables". He says: "The power of a glance has been so much abused in love stories, that it has come to be disbelieved in. Few people dare now to say that two beings have fallen in love because they have looked at each other. Yet it is in this way that love begins, and in this way only." I slowly lifted my head towards Collin and I saw him locking his eyes on mine. It was that same glance I just read. It was so evident in him and I could feel it upon me. I became instantly vulnerable and when he pressed his lips to mine, time froze and an explosive ecstasy overwhelmed our whole beings. *** Jamie grew up in Green Hill, where she devoted herself entirely to painting, turning it into her career. Known for her creativity and the abstraction of her art, she gained a certain success that had made her traveling from city to city. At the peak of her career, temporarily staying in a place called Chaston for a few weeks, she met Collin - a charming young man whose appeal was difficult to overlook. Their first meeting felt like a spontaneous intense chemistry, none of them could fight back. Chaston was the beginning of a new adventure but will this shared and intimate energy last longer or forever, knowing she wouldn't stay there for long? "See you again" is a rich literary translated work filled with life turmoils and psychological transformations that will bring you shivers and emotions. Well, at least I hope so. • Original French title: Elle •Complete

My Letter To The Stars
"She deserved it." Alexa cackled as she stood against the wall. Lipstick smeared. "Why?" Kimmy interjected while pulling away from me and wiping her tears that had evidently stained her cheeks.

"I like Corinth , you would never take her place." Caleb wiped away the stains under Corinth's eyes. Some people say its hard to open up, others say you make it difficult all on your own.

"Polaris can you stay by my side." His words come out soft. Almost grazing my skin and erupting my pores. "I can't, not anymore."I swallowed as my eyes felt tense and my breathing slowed down. "Please." His voice goes lower and he staggers a bit. It was clear he had been drinking. But why? "No more Caleb." I shook my head in dismay. "Smile once more, you promised." He reached out to hold my hand but I pull away. "Promises are meant to be broke." Not all stories has a happy ending. Not all who wander are lost.Complete

Alex grabbed my wrist quickly and stopped me in my tracks. I glanced up at him, shocked. I couldn't read him right this second. I panicked. "I'm sorry." I pulled my hand back to my chest.

In A Day Or Two
They say love is patient, love is kind. But what they don't tell you is that love can also be devastating, merciless, and painfully fleeting. Francis Brooks thought he knew the meaning of love-until Xianon Pearson walked into his life. In the short time they spent together, she became his world: the warmth in his mornings, the calm in his chaos, the reason his heart dared to hope. She was his laughter on the rainiest days, the softness in a world that often felt harsh, and the spark that made every ordinary moment extraordinary. But Xianon was fragile in ways Francis could never fully protect her from. She carried secrets, illnesses, and burdens that threatened to pull them apart, no matter how tightly he held on. Every promise between them-every whispered "in a day or two"-was meant to be a lifeline, a hope that tomorrow would be brighter, that they could survive the storms life threw at them. Yet life has a cruel way of testing love. Sometimes, the people we cherish most slip through our fingers despite our best efforts, leaving only memories and a heartache that refuses to fade. And sometimes, love demands a choice: to let go, or to fight even when the odds are stacked against you. This is a story of love that burns fiercely, heartbreak that cuts painfully, and the resilience of a heart that refuses to surrender. It is about waiting when the one you love is gone, surviving when grief threatens to consume you, and finding the courage to keep living-even when tomorrow is uncertain. Because sometimes, it only takes a day... or even just a day or two... to change everything, to leave a mark that lasts forever, and to teach us that love, in all its joy and pain, is always worth the fight.Complete
