"They say first love never dies - but what if yours never really ended?"
When she met him during her first high school event, something shifted. What began as a fleeting glance became a slow, deep kind of love - the kind that lingers quietly, even after the goodbyes.
Through missed chances, late-night messages, awkward photos, long silences, and soft smiles across the hallway, she waited. She let go. She waited again.
Based on a true story, When We Were Us tells the journey of loving someone who was never really yours - in her real voice, and his imagined one.
For the ones who still look for a certain smile in the crowd, even after all this time... this is for you.

Almost Love
They say your first love is never really your last. It's the one that teaches you how much your heart can hold-and how easily it can break. It's the feeling you never expect but somehow always remember. It doesn't come wrapped in perfection. In fact, it's often messy. Loud. Complicated. Full of silent stares across classrooms and text messages that say "goodnight" when you really mean "don't leave." This is not a love story with a fairytale ending. This is a story about two teenagers who didn't know how to love yet-but tried anyway. About a girl who had just transferred to a new school, carrying quiet sadness in her eyes. About a boy who joked too much, talked too loud, and hid his softness under layers of laughter and chaos. It's about the teasing. The almosts. The missed chances. The apologies that came too late. The good days that felt like forever-and the bad ones that felt like drowning. Most of all, it's about that stage in your life when you love with everything, even when you don't know what love is yet. This is the story of Adriana and Liam. Of how they found each other. How they lost each other. And how sometimes, loving someone first... doesn't mean loving them forever.Complete

"Why do you care if I kiss other girls? We're not together, we're friends" he stated swallowing his emotions. "You're right, why should I care?

You're It for me
I loved a boy. A boy with the prettiest smile and the messiest hair. A boy who made my heart race. A boy who never looked at me. Until one day... he did. And just like that, everything changed. It started with an art class. A random draw. His name in my hands. What was supposed to be a silly group project turned into late-night chats, endless laughter, and the kind of closeness I never thought I'd have with him. But life isn't always soft. It gets loud. Complicated. And somewhere along the way, we broke. Maybe we were too young. Maybe we weren't ready. Maybe... we were just never meant to last. This is the story of how I fell for him. How I lost him. And how maybe-just maybe-some people find their way back.Complete
To the Boy Who Made Me Feel Everything
Some stories begin with a kiss. Ours began with a handshake and silence. He wasn't supposed to mean anything-just a classmate, a stranger, a passing name. But somehow, he became the boy who made me feel everything. The one I texted when I didn't know what to say. The one I looked for in crowded rooms without meaning to. The one who sat beside me once on a bus...and never really left. This isn't a perfect love story. There were no grand gestures, no dramatic declarations, and no promises. Just two people, slowly breaking and becoming, in a world that never stopped moving. He wasn't mine. But he felt like home.
Was it meant to be!?
Was It Ever Ours? It was their first love, and neither of them knew what to do with it. He was quiet, unsure, always wondering if he could ever be enough. She was bold, full of questions, but hiding just as much. They didn't mean for it to happen. It started with little moments - a shared smile, an accidental touch, the way his heart raced when she laughed. No one told them what to expect when love is new - the joy, the fear, the way everything can feel like too much and yet not enough. It wasn't a perfect story. It was messy, with secrets, doubts, and too many things left unsaid. But it was theirs, for a moment. And sometimes, that's all you can hold onto.Complete
Go Way Back
We all have our first. Our first walk, our first cry, our first laugh, and most especially, our very first heartbeat. Falling in love is easy. However, as everyone has stated, love is like a roller coaster ride. It has the power to instantly propel you to the heartbreaking lowest point or the most breathtaking heights. We are also going to go through our first heartbreak, which will teach us that no matter how much you love someone, the more you try to hold onto them, the more probable it is that they will escape your grasp. Is it true that genuine love never fades and always finds a way back, regardless of how much time has passed? Is it true that true love never fades and always finds a way back? Is it really true that the second time around, love is sweeter?Complete
Gone Him Waiting Her
She was his first love. The girl who knew his laughter, his dreams, his fears. The one he swore he'd never let go of. Until one day, he did. Without warning. Without goodbye. He was her everything. Her first kiss. Her first heartbreak. The boy who carried her heart in his hands- and then shattered it when he disappeared. Years passed. Wounds turned into scars. She learned to live with the silence he left behind. He learned to live with the regret of leaving her. Now, fate has thrown Mason and Ella together again- in the most unexpected place, on the most ordinary day. But nothing about seeing each other feels ordinary. It feels like the past rushing back. It feels like the pieces of a love story trying to fit again. But can she trust him after the way he left? And can he prove that this time, he's here to stay? Because sometimes love doesn't end. Sometimes, it waits.
