She hated the idea of marriage.
Yet, deep down, she had always longed for a love like her parents once shared-a quiet, enduring kind of companionship. But that dream shattered the day they separated. From that moment on, her idea of love twisted into something bitter.
She made a silent vow: she would never fall in love.
To love, she believed, was to suffer-and she had no intention of suffering for anyone but herself.
But everything changed the moment she saw him.
She couldn't take her eyes off him. Something about him unraveled the rules she had so carefully written for herself.
She, who always avoided unnecessary trouble, was now walking straight into it-welcoming it, even.
What she didn't know was that she wouldn't just bend her rules for him.
She would break them.
And in the process... she would break herself too.

The Rule We Broke
"Never fall in love with your best friend. A rule built to last, until the moment it shattered." She made one rule to protect her heart: keep the friendship sacred. It was supposed to be her sanctuary, a shield against the kind of heartbreak you can never replace. But rules-no matter how carefully constructed-rarely survive the weight of a lifetime. Back in high school, they were a world of two: late-night calls, shared secrets, and laughter that belonged only to them. They were inseparable until the day he spoke the words that changed everything. In a single heartbeat, silence replaced their history, and the line between "us" and "strangers" was drawn in the sand. Years have passed. They've built different lives and loved different people. but when fate forces them back into the same orbit, the gravity of the past is impossible to ignore. Old feelings resurface alongside guilt, temptation, and the dangerous pull toward a boundary that was never meant to be crossed. Because sometimes, the people we spend a lifetime running from... are the very ones we've been running toward all along. But what happens when the love you finally claim becomes the very thing that divides you forever?
The things we don't say
I wanted her to scream, "Because you make my heart bleed, when you look at me like that!" She'd say something like, "Why would you want your heart to bleed? If I'm causing you pain, what good am I too you?" Maybe I'd answer, "No one thing can be beautiful, without a little pain. You're not just pain, you're the one beautiful thing.. MY beautiful thing." Then we'd kiss, and the rain would start. But she didn't. She never will. It's the things we don't say.Complete
