Book 2 of the Night Sky Duet

___ ___ ___ 

"You've changed." He states. 

Without looking at him, I lift my head and stare ahead towards the city. "I had to." The soft breeze cools my skin, goosebumps arising. "I couldn't be naive and soft anymore." 

Shifting so he faces me, he says, so surely, "You're still soft." 

That's when I turn my gaze to his. Unblinking, I look into his eyes-ones that make me feel everything I have tried to forget-and respond, 

"Just not for you." 

___ ___ ___


After losing their best friend, Elijah Moreno and Alena Smith attempt to finish their senior year. While the attraction between them continues to grow, stronger forces drive them apart. 

Even after time passes, the passion that was once there remains. Although they are different people now, it is up to Elijah and Alena to see if they want to make up for lost time or if they are better without one another. 

Will they find love? Or will they break each other's hearts when it's time to say goodbye?

Before You Leave.....  by MahekSikder1
22 parts Complete
Natalie and Aaron were two halves of a whole, defined by the comfortable, chaotic rhythm of a lifelong friendship. From childhood scrapes to teenage triumphs, they were an inseparable force, their bond so deeply woven into the fabric of their familie's lives that no one ever imagined a world where they wouldn't stand side-by-side. ​But beneath the easy banter and shared history, a dangerous secret festers: for years, one of them has harbored a silent, consuming unrequited love for the other-a fragile, secret vow never to confess, terrified that the truth would shatter their perfect, protective dynamic. ​The course of their lives is violently derailed when a sudden, terrifying event-a catastrophic accident, a medical crisis, or a shared trauma-throws them into the path of inevitable change. As one recovers from the brink of oblivion, the boundary between nightmare and reality dissolves, threatening to expose the hidden feelings and forgotten promises. ​What follows is a tangled web of dark secrets, complex betrayals, and devastating plot twists. As they navigate escalating external dangers and the internal battlefield of their own hearts, their past choices collide with the present. Every attempt they make to save the other, to confess the truth, or to simply go back to the way things were, only serves to push them further toward a heartbreaking climax. ​Will fate be on their side? Or will they become a beautiful and tragic memory?

"Help, I have done it again, I have been here many times before." - *Breathe Me*, Sia . . . . . . . . . . Some loves hurt. Some loves scar. And some loves leave bruises you learn to hide. AURORA has already learned the cost of trusting the wrong person. She's careful now. Guarded. Built from walls and sharp edges, stitched together with survival and stubbornness. Love, to her, is something that breaks - not something that stays. And then there's THEO. Infuriating. Impossible. Too perceptive for his own good. He sees the cracks she pretends aren't there. The softness she buries. The fear she refuses to name. He is her storm - loud, reckless, relentless. She is his shelter - quiet, steady, the place he doesn't know how to deserve. Every fight pulls them apart. Every stolen moment pulls them closer. Every heartbeat risks shattering what little they have left intact. Because when the past refuses to loosen its grip, when love feels like standing too close to the flame, sometimes the only way forward... ...is to set yourself on fire. . . . . . . . . . . He never meant to fall this hard. She never meant to let him in. But some hearts don't break quietly. They bruise. "I think you're going to have to ask me again," I murmured, tilting my chin up. "But like, really nicely this time." Theo blinked. "You're serious?" "Deadly." A second passed. Then another. I watched the way his tongue ran along the inside of his cheek, watched his hand flex like he was trying not to grab me too fast, too rough. And then, softer now-different-he said, "Rory." Just my name, but it held more weight than anything else. "Please, baby. Let me kiss you."
Cold Hands and a Warm Heart by RoseLanger
12 parts Ongoing Mature
I learned a long time ago that him and I belonged in different worlds. Since forever, I'd reached out again and again, peeling back those thick layers to see the lonely boy I knew was underneath, just to have my hand slapped away. One thing a child learns though, is after their hand is slapped one too many times, they will avoid doing what caused the disciplinary action to happen. He always gets what he wants, and he knows that, and I know that. However, what am I supposed to do when he wants me? I've already given up on him, I lost interest. Hell, the sight of his gaze just makes my blood boil. I don't care about his money, I don't care about his name, I don't care about this new sudden burst of attention he's giving me. I don't care about HIM. Every argument that crackles between us leaves our lips stinging with unresolved tension he knows he caused. Every brush of our hands reminds me of all the cold things that left his lips. Even our parents don't want us in the same room! His mother thinks he could find a prettier woman, and mine says I deserve a loving man. We live oceans apart. I refuse to be another conquest for this immature boy. I can see it in his eyes now. He can't stop thinking of me. His gaze always lingers too long in my features, and his eyes soften when they lift and meet mine now. It doesn't matter though. He's the same man the boy was all those years ago. He is no different. Some wounds will never heal, but are some hearts worth breaking down every wall just to graze with your fingers?

Summer Memories by LETollin
25 parts Complete
Yoona's summer plans were simple: survive the history exam, avoid awkward small talk, and recharge by the sea with a good book. Falling for her brother's best friend? Not on the agenda. But when quiet, bookish Nate offers to help her study, late-night cramming sessions turn into beach walks, stolen glances, and something she never expected-real connection. Between heart-to-hearts under the stars and slow, tender moments that make her chest ache, Yoona starts to wonder if this summer might mean something more. As college approaches and the end of summer looms, friendships shift, love blooms, and secrets unravel-including one that could change everything about the bet they made during the first week at the beach... "I knew that if I wanted to make a move, this was the moment. I snuck a glance at her-her skin glowed under the soft radiance of the lanterns' flickering light. She looked so beautiful. I didn't want to ruin it by saying anything. Instead, I looked down at her hand. Slowly, I shifted mine toward hers, careful not to startle her. She seemed deep in thought, mesmerized by the beauty above us. My hand brushed against hers, then I pulled away instinctively-but when I reached out again, this time a bit more bravely, she didn't retreat. Instead, she moved closer. And when our fingers finally intertwined, I closed my eyes and let the happiness rush through me. The tension in my chest evaporated, and I finally exhaled." New chapter every day - double updates on Fridays!
