This story is about someone who was nearly loved - someone who was always close to being seen, held, and picked... but never fully chosen.

"I wasn't asking you to choose me. I was just hoping... you thought about what you left behind."

Elior was seven when his mother left.
No goodbye. No reason. Just gone.

Now at twenty-four, living in Paris and chasing his art, Elior meets Maia - a girl who feels like everything he's been waiting for.

But when his health begins to fail, and the past comes knocking unexpectedly, Elior is forced to face the one question he's carried his whole life:

What if you were always almost chosen... but never enough to stay for?

A story about abandonment, healing, and finally choosing the ones who chose you - even on the days it hurts.

Before Us, After Me by Acel89

A story of love that bloomed, broke, and left her to rebuild from the pieces. They met by chance. Fell hard. Built dreams between kisses and promises. And then- the slow unraveling. This is the story of a girl who loved deeply and lost quietly. Of betrayal whispered through late-night silences and heartbreak that didn't end with goodbye. It's about watching him become someone else's, while she was still holding onto the version of him he used to be. But it's also about becoming. Told in six parts-Before Us, Becoming Us, The Distance, The Ending, After Us, and Becoming Me Again-this is her journey from first glance to final goodbye, and the love she found on the other side of letting go.

She Chose Herself by mylenewrites0919

Elia never expected to be noticed, especially not by Aiden, her best friend's tall, charming, too-good-to-be-true boyfriend. With her oversized glasses, quiet ways, and insecurities she carried like a second skin, Elia had always been the invisible girl in the corner. Until she wasn't. Until he started looking at her like she mattered. What began as stolen glances grew into a love that broke the rules and broke someone's heart. Elia thought she had won, but when Aiden's lies finally came to light, everything she believed in shattered. Now, in the wreckage of what used to be love, Elia is left with the hardest question of all. Was he ever worth losing herself for? This is not just a love story. It is a story of betrayal, regret, and the slow, quiet work of healing. A story of learning to walk away, not to chase someone else, but to finally return to herself. Because sometimes the bravest thing a girl can do is choose herself.

Stay a Little Longer by Sandrakaps

Not all love stories are loud. Some are quiet... almost silent. They unfold between unspoken glances, gentle pauses, and moments that nearly didn't happen. Elina once believed that love should fix things. That it was supposed to sweep in like a storm - mend the broken parts, rewrite the past, and make everything whole again. But life doesn't always come with neat endings. People she thought would stay forever slowly became memories with soft edges. Now, she hides behind sarcasm, rain-soaked hoodies, solo sunsets, and old letters she never had the courage to finish. Then there's Timmy. He's the boy who never knocks. He just appears - with sleepy eyes, two different socks, and a way of handing her tea like it's a love language. He never asks her to smile. He just sits beside her, even in the silence... especially in the silence. He doesn't try to fix her. He doesn't try to understand every scar. He just stays. When she pushes, he doesn't pull. When she hides, he waits. He's patient with her quiet days, her weird jokes, her sleepy eyes, and her unpredictable moods. Their story isn't about grand declarations or cinematic kisses in the rain. It's about slow mornings, sleepy conversations, and soft reminders that you're allowed to be loved without performing for it. This isn't forever. This isn't perfect. But it's something real. Fragile... but real. A soft kind of love. The kind that whispers - not demands. The kind that says: 🌿 "I'm not asking you to be okay. I'm just asking... can I stay? Even if it's just a little longer?" And in that quiet in-between, where fear and hope meet - they find a home in each other. --- ✨ Hashtags ✨ #StayALittleLonger #SoftLoveStories #TimmyAndElina #AestheticLove #LoveInTheSilence #QuietRomance #EmotionalFiction #HealingTogether #BookTokLove #TikTokReads #InstagramStorytime #HeartfeltTales #StoryOfUs #LetMeStay #SoftBoyEnergy #WarmVibesOnly #VulnerableLove #HoldOnTogether #FictionThatFeelsReal

To The Moon And Back by Lizdaydreams

Only to shatter everything which she had hardly placed together. Her whole world crumbled and burnt into ashes. But if it's written in the destiny, it'll always finds its way back to you. When life gives her a second chance will she be able to accept it? Will she be able to overcome all the pain she suffered in those years? Will he make a place back in her heart?

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.

Fragile Beats by Jimitchie

Elira Saoirse Atienza was born with Glass Heart Syndrome - a rare, incurable condition that makes her heart as fragile as glass. She's spent her life behind hospital walls and quiet mornings, trained to stay calm, to never feel too deeply - because even a rush of emotion could shatter her heart forever. Then she meets Ace Raiden Ibañez, the ruthless and brilliant CEO of Ibañez Holdings, a man known for having everything - power, wealth, and a heart made of stone. When fate brings Elira into his life, his world of control collides with hers of fragility. He's used to commanding boardrooms, not feelings. She's used to silence, not love. But the more Ace tries to distance himself, the more he realizes - Elira makes his heart feel alive for the first time. Yet for Elira, every heartbeat near him is a risk. Loving Ace could mean dying for it. And when he discovers her secret, Ace must choose: save her heart by letting her go... or risk breaking it forever. "She taught him how to feel. He might be the reason she stops breathing." "Every heartbeat for him is a risk she's willing to take."

Brutally yours by Inkiijita

To the quiet girls with stormy hearts. To the boys who feel too much but show too little. To those who were never chosen first - but loved like they were the last. This story is for the unseen, the unheard, the untamed. For every soul who thought they were "too soft" for this world - and found someone who didn't just see their softness, but protected it with fire. For anyone who still believes that love isn't always gentle - but when it's real, it is brutally honest, brutally fierce, and brutally yours. And most of all - To the one who dreams loud in silence: This is your story. You just haven't lived it yet.

Even If It Wasn't Love by lyradanes

Sometimes love isn't what it seems - it's pain, confusion, hope, and everything in between. Caught between the memories of what once was and the fear of what could be. She fell for the boy who made her feel seen, who built her up when she was broken - and then shattered her all over again. But even now, with all the pain, she can't let go. She still needs him. Still wants him. If you've ever been lost in the middle of love and doubt, this story is for you. Even If It Wasn't Love is a story about holding on to the very thing that's tearing you apart - and wondering if maybe, just maybe... it was love all along.
