This isn't a love story. It's survival.

It's the story of two people who meet when everything's already falling apart.

Norah Bishop is the girl who came back different - polished, popular, and carrying a secret that won't stop bleeding. She's mastered the art of pretending: perfect grades, perfect boyfriend, perfect smile. Anything to outrun the truth.

Daniel Cohen has been quiet his whole life. Not because he has nothing to say, but because no one ever listened. Not when it mattered. He's not looking to be saved - just to make it through without falling apart.

They're not supposed to matter to each other.
But they do.
In glances across classrooms. In conversations at 2 a.m. In the tiny moments no one else sees.

But some pasts don't stay buried.
Some pain doesn't play fair.
And love - no matter how much it aches to stay - can't always fix what was never safe to begin with.

But love doesn't save you. It stays with you.All Rights Reserved

Chasing Shadows by king_verse

She had always lived life on her own terms-surrounded by people, never tied down, never taking anything too seriously. But when she meets Daniel, a guy who sees right through her distractions, everything starts to change. He doesn't like the way she moves through life so carelessly. She doesn't like how serious he is. And yet, something about him makes her want to try-to be better, to do better. But change isn't easy, and old habits die hard. As she struggles to leave behind the life she's always known, she finds herself torn between the past that made her and the future she's not sure she deserves. In the end, the real question isn't whether she can win him back. It's whether she can face the truth about herself before it's too late. A story of love, loss, and the battle between who we are and who we want to be.

INCARNATE by Ure_ly

In a world where friendship blurs into forbidden love and forgotten memories hide painful truths, Dayana finds herself caught in a tangled web of emotion and deceit. Once just a quiet girl with a loyal best friend and a secret crush, Dayana's life begins to crumble when rumors spread through the campus rumors that she and Louise, her lifelong friend, share more than just friendship. As gossip burns through the halls, Dayana's bond with Ethan, the boy who once made her heart race, falls apart. Ethan's coldness wounds her deeper than the whispers ever could, especially when he confirms his relationship with Catherine, the girl who's always envied Dayana's quiet grace. But behind the comfort of Louise's arms lies something darker. His gentle touch hides obsession. His comfort masks a stolen truth. For Louise isn't just her friend he's the reason Dayana can't remember her past, the reason Ethan's love feels distant and strange. Years ago, he took everything from Ethan their childhood memories, their engagement, their bond and replaced it with his own false warmth. Now, even as Dayana weeps in his arms, she doesn't know she's being held by the very person who destroyed the life she was meant to have. And Ethan? He burns in silence. He knows the truth and the truth bleeds every time he looks at her. But with Dayana's heart wrapped in lies, his only choice is to protect her... even if it means letting her go. In this storm of secrets, love becomes a haunting, and every smile hides a betrayal waiting to be revealed.

Childhood Sweethearts by LaurenJ22

#1 Teen Fiction | #1 Young Adult | #1 Romance "We all need someone to drive us mad." - The Wombats. He stared arrogantly down at me, a smirk plastered across his face. I sneered up at him with distaste, wanting to wrap my fingers around his neck and strangle that smirk off of him. He brushed my golden hair from my face, his long, slender fingers sparking electricity in my skin, making my knees wobble together. "Will you ever, forgive me?" he whispered huskily, his eyes intently staring into mine. His face was only mere inches from me. I just needed to reach out a little further to kiss him... "Yeah. Over my dead body." I snapped, before throwing my arms out forcefully, shoving my hands into his chest, pushing him from me. -*-*-*- He, is Carter Williams. I, am Lacey Adams. We were once, inseparable. The 'Golden Couple'. The unbreakable best friends, that everybody envied. Nothing could get between us. A part from being tighter than white on rice, we updated our status from friends to being in a relationship, frequently. We were neighbours, which meant our families were all close and even co-owned houses around our town. This, all is, until the day of my sixteenth birthday. Everything changed. The loving relationship we shared, was severed and torn apart. I couldn't hardly stand to look at him any more, without spitting fire that is. Every day is torture being around him. He was in all my classes at school and the window in my room was even directly aligned with his. So, what happens? My mother's mum gets sick, so dad and her fly out. Just them. Leaving me to stay with Carter and his parents, who are never home. We would be alone. In one house. Under the same roof. If I was insane before, I have no idea what I am now. © 2016 by LaurenJ22.

Norah & Daniel by EternalLights

They could be the girl you catch sight of regularly at your favorite coffee shop, the guy who sits next to you on train everyday or might just be someone who lives in the same town as you. You know their faces well but nothing much about them. This was the exact case for Norah Bishop when it came to Daniel Cohen. For her, Daniel was just some guy who had been her classmate for a very long time and whom the whole school worshiped but fate never gave her a chance to cross paths with him. But all of that was destined to change in just one night...

When Nina Happened by aruwrites2

Aarav never believed a random Instagram group chat could change his life - until Nina. What began as late-night banter turned into secret conversations, stolen confessions, and a bond neither of them expected. But Nina's world isn't simple. With parents who monitor her every move, a "perfect daughter" mask she's forced to wear, and a secret rebellion of quiet sips and louder dreams, she lives two lives: one the world sees, and one she hides. Aarav becomes the only one who knows both. When fate brings them to the same college, their connection only intensifies. From whispered calls to midnight sneak-ins at his flat, from laughter in crowded classrooms to tears behind locked doors, their love becomes an intoxicating mix of chaos and comfort. They fight, they break, they heal - but above all, they choose each other, again and again. This is not just a story of love; it's a story of freedom found in another soul, of rebellion dressed as romance, of secrets heavy enough to break but beautiful enough to hold. In a world that wants them apart, Aarav and Nina learn that the most unforgettable love is the one you're willing to risk everything for.

Her Secret Admirer by UnknownAngel_SG

She was pretty and kind-the quiet girl who never dated, never even cared to try. Relationships meant nothing to her, because her heart already belonged to one person: Alex. She had never met him. Never seen his face. Yet his presence haunted her dreams, his words etched themselves into her soul. He was a mystery... and her obsession. But then everything changed. A new student arrived. Striking. Magnetic. Dangerous in ways she couldn't put into words. For the first time, her heart raced for someone real-someone who wasn't just a shadow in her mind. Now she's caught between two worlds: the faceless Alex who has claimed her heart for years, and the boy who stands before her, awakening something she can't control. But nothing is as it seems. Alex isn't just a dream. And this new boy isn't who he appears to be. To find the truth, she must confront the impossible, uncover secrets buried in darkness, and face a choice that could destroy her. Because love can be a lie. And sometimes... it's deadly.
