"This is not a story about healing.
It's a story about the girl who didn't."

Eli was only fourteen when she gave her whole heart to someone who promised not to break it.
In a world full of judgment, whispers, and cruel comparisons, she stayed - even when the pain begged her to let go.

He was her first love. Her safe space. The one who made her believe that love could be gentle.
But when the world started talking, he stopped listening.
And when a prettier girl walked in, he walked away.

Torn between forgiveness and the aching weight of betrayal, Eli begins to question her worth, her beauty, and her place in a world that never seemed to choose her.
She tries to hold on, even as everything falls apart - her friendships, her self-esteem, and the boy who promised forever.

Back to December is a raw, emotional, and deeply personal novel about the kind of heartbreak that doesn't fade.
It's about staying quiet in a world that never listened, and loving someone who never truly saw you.

For every girl who was once the second choice,
For every heart that still hurts months later,
This is your story too.All Rights Reserved

Where Softness Goes To Die by Zephyrianna

> Moremi Wilson was made of softness-of skin too tender, of words too careful, of a heart that bruised every time someone said "I love you" and didn't mean it. Half British, half Yoruba, and wholly misplaced, she's spent her life trying to belong somewhere-anywhere. But love never let her settle. Then he came. The boy with the crooked smile and venom in his voice. The one who touched her like she was art and ruined her like she was his canvas. In the city where cultures clash and hearts don't heal, Moremi learns that softness is a luxury... And girls like her don't get to keep it for long. This isn't a story about healing. It's about the unimaginable twists and turns of life.

Petals in the Rain by Folasade682

*Chapter One: The Sound of Empty Rooms* The rain had a rhythm that matched the echo in her chest-quiet, repetitive, and endlessly hollow. Elira sat by the window of her grandmother's wooden house, where the walls creaked like ghosts remembering things she tried so hard to forget. Her breath fogged up the glass as she watched the street below-quiet, gray, and soaked. She didn't mind the rain. It was the one thing that stayed. At twenty-two, Elira had never been kissed. Not truly. Not with the kind of kiss that silences thoughts and stirs old wounds into healing. She had known touches-cold, demanding ones from men who mistook her loneliness for permission. She had known eyes-watching, judging, leaving. But love? Real love? That had been the whisper in fairy tales and the ache between the pages of books she'd hide under her pillow. Her mother had left when she was ten. A note on the fridge, a half-packed suitcase, and a phone number that never answered. Her father drowned his grief in silence and whisky until his liver gave up when she was sixteen. After that, silence wasn't just emotional-it was literal. Elira grew up learning that people left. Always. Her greatest fear wasn't being alone-it was being almost loved. Almost chosen. Almost enough. Then she met him. She closed the book on her lap-*entwined in chaos*. Of course it was. She clung to the idea that love should hurt a little, that maybe if she bled enough, someone would see the red and realize she had a heart worth holding. That night, she wrote in her journal: *"If love exists, let it find me. Even if it breaks me."* And it would. So deeply, so completely, that even time would pause to grieve.

Limitless Conversations by Amreek7

Two people. One bench. A thousand memories between them. What began as simple laughter and late-night calls turned into distance, silence, and unspoken words. They loved each other once - deeply, painfully - but life had other plans. Between miscommunication, loss, and time, they drifted apart... leaving only echoes of what they used to be. Years later, fate brings them back to the same place where everything began - the bench beneath the streetlight. Only this time, they're not the same people who once fell in love. She's learned to rebuild herself from the quiet, to find meaning through her writing and the ghosts of her past. He's learned to stop running, to sit with his emotions, and to rediscover the parts of himself he once gave away. What follows isn't a love story in the traditional sense - it's a story about understanding. About heartbreak that transforms instead of destroys. About growth that doesn't erase what came before but gives it purpose. Because sometimes, love doesn't vanish. It just changes shape. And sometimes, the most powerful conversations are the ones that never really end - they simply wait for you to come back.

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.

Loves a Fight by Loonlore

What would you do if your life turned to complete and utter shit after just one day? Would you breakdown and pray someone held you together? What if the person you thought would hold you together shatters your already broken heart? What then... Noel is a girl who hides behind a stone cold face. She shows little emotion because it makes her weak. She feels like the world is out to destroy her and the only way to prevent that is to shutdown completely. She fights for a living and races for fun. The adrenaline is the only thing that reminds her of what it's like to still be alive inside... Now let's look at Kain. A kid who grew up too fast. He was once a bundle of joy and adventure, but when tragedy struck he decided it was time to grow up and that happiness was just not meant for him. He runs a gang in the town Noel just recently moved into. Even with the smallest of glances he created great fear. Noel just so happens to run into Kain one day at highschool. What happens if she fights back against him? Will it be love at first sight, or will there be a fight? ******Disclaimer!?!****** I wrote this book a few years ago when I was going through some shit. Yeah some of the time frames jump around and make no sense, but I honestly don't care. If you don't like it then read something else.

Kisses Didn't Cure Me by PASIATHOMAS

*She spent her whole life searching for something that didn't exist - not in her family, not in the boys who swore they loved her, and definitely not in the mirror. Alone in a world that never made space for her softness, she gave up on love altogether. Until him. A man who didn't rush her healing, didn't flinch at her scars, and didn't leave when she tried to push him away. But love, for her, has never been gentle. And kisses? They never cured her before... so why would this be any different? "Kisses Didn't Cure Me" is a story about heartbreak, trauma, solitude, and the slow, dangerous art of learning to trust again.*

Coachella • Billie Eilish by Stories554

They were best friends. Until one night at Coachella changed everything. Dahlia never meant to fall for Billie Eilish. It started as late-night calls, inside jokes, and the kind of closeness that made everyone else feel like background noise. But at Coachella-under neon skies and a heartbeat of music-Billie kissed her. And Dahlia kissed her back. It should've meant something. But Billie still had a girlfriend. And Dahlia? She was left with questions Billie wouldn't answer. This book has moonlit concerts, stolen glances, and the ache of loving someone who can't love you back-until they finally do. ‼️There is NO SMUT‼️ (This is my first story- and it sucks. I'm writing more stories that are WAY better. But this story is still kinda good- just wonky. There is no smut in this story but I've got other stories that do- so follow me to read those)
