Unaware when she fell for him, obsessed, she finds that he loves his best friend Clara.
Clara is the nicest person she knows, and she cannot help herself but find her friendship soothing. The truth is that, despite being nice, she cannot help but resent Clara, but is it not true that the nicest of things come with a catch, ever armor has a clink, and today when the lacerations turn into scars, that is when the truth comes to light.
James who loves her, but not fully. Cannot live with her and cannot without, James and Alysa have a weird Dynamic. One that thrills him, excites her.

His words pierce her like a knife, yet the pain gives her gratification, she savors it. What happens ultimately? Will Alysa find her love, will Clara end up with James, what happens forms the crux of the story/

𝗦𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲. 𝗛𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗿𝘂𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲. Aunika Cladwell has spent her whole life building walls-walls thick enough to bury the echoes of an abusive childhood, the flashbacks, the nights she doesn't talk about. Love? That's a language she never learned. Emeris Voss has been counting his days ever since the diagnosis. Terminal cancer. That's what they told him. But before he goes, he wants to feel something real. Something that makes this life worth all the aching. When they meet in a quiet beach town where the waves never stop crashing, it's supposed to be simple. Temporary. But nothing about them stays quiet for long. Passionate, chaotic, and loud, they fall hard. And with every broken piece they uncover in each other, they start to wonder if love-raw, honest, and imperfect-might be enough to heal. But time isn't kind. And the past doesn't stay buried. And sometimes, staying is the bravest thing of all. 💔 𝐀 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐰𝐨 𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐧 𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐟𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐢𝐧 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞, 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐞𝐭 𝐠𝐨, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐲-𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐢𝐭 𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐭𝐬.

His Silence, My Storm: Drowning In Hope
They say love begins in silence... but no one ever warns you how deeply it hurts when that silence never ends. This is not a love story. It is a story of almosts - of late-night conversations that lingered too long, unspoken feelings that grew too heavy, and eye contact that somehow meant everything... yet nothing at all. She loved him quietly. And when she finally tried to speak, he never listened in the way her heart needed him to. So she became patient. She became understanding. She became everything for him... except chosen. And somewhere between unsent messages, mixed signals, and words left hanging in the air, she realized something heartbreaking- Love does not always destroy you loudly. Sometimes... it slowly drowns you in silence.Complete

It does have around 40 chapters so it might not seem like it. But trust me that it is.] ||Full Disclosure|| I started the book in the end of 8th grade so it needs MAJOR editing. It also does have Sexual Chapters, as well as people of the same sex being together, murder, brutally torture talk of rape and sexual harassment. So if you do not wish to read things like that then this unfortunately isn't the book for you. ||You Have Been Warned|| First book in the Heart series. •Do Not Copy This Book In Anyway•Complete

"Can we stop feeling guilty, Amelia? Guilty for all the things that weren't our fault." "We can Leo. Maybe someday." "That day isn't far off Amelia. I'll make sure of it." ___________________________________ There is a lot to think about when you find out your best friend has been raped and murdered. There is even more to think about when you're the last person she saw the night she died. But that's not what caused me to black out in the middle of a rocking party scene, surrounded by all the people I had known all my life. It was when I saw who had killed her. Hilarious, charming, the guy with the perfect quiff, and star quarter-back of the football team. He was loved by everyone. He was the guy you couldn't stay away from. Levi Harrison.
