Every morning, Clara wakes up in a different version of the past -
but only on the days she didn't say goodbye.
A voicemail she never sent.
A moment she rushed through.
A door she closed without turning back.
She doesn't know why it's happening.
She just knows it started after Theo Lin left -
the boy she almost loved,
the boy she never got to keep.
As she jumps from memory to memory, Clara is given one last chance to say what she couldn't the first time. But some goodbyes change everything...
...and some were never meant to happen at all.

Stay Until
Clara only planned to stay in Chelan for the summer before heading back to New York. Then she met Caleb Dawson. Former football star. Small-town favorite.

When It Rains, I Remember You
They said the city never sleeps- but for me, it stopped the night she left. Ryan believed love could outlast distance, silence, and time. But when Clara walked away without goodbye, he was left chasing memories in a city that moved on without him. Years later, the rain still feels like her. Every downpour brings back the same question he never found the answer to: Why did she leave? A story about grief, longing, and the kind of love that lingers even when it's gone. #Drama #Heartbreak #EmotionalLove #SoftWriter
The Ones we Shouldn't Love: ACT I
It starts fast-like lightning striking dry earth. What begins as a spark becomes a fire neither of them can contain. It's the kind of love that keeps you up at night, wide-eyed and breathless, not out of fear, but because you can't bear to miss a single moment. It bruises the heart in places no one sees, but never breaks it-never harms it. Just leaves fingerprints, soft and lingering. Leaving would be easier if love ever truly left. But it doesn't. It lingers in the walls, in the sheets, in the silence between words. One heart clings to memory, loving what was. The other leans into the unknown, loving what might be. And somewhere in between, love becomes a duty-an unspoken promise, heavy and unshakable. All she wants is quiet now. Not the silence of loneliness, but the stillness of peace. A place where her heart doesn't have to choose between two kinds of love-only rest in the safety of her own.
The Price of Innocence
"Some ghosts don't haunt to scare you. They haunt to remind you what you lost." Thandi's innocence echoed in every memory she shared with her sister. She's accepted the truth - her sister is gone, and nothing can change that. But everything shatters the moment she sees her again. Alive. Smiling. Real. Now caught between the sister she loves and the man she's come to care for, Thandi must make an impossible choice - one that will teach her that even innocence comes with a price. In a world of power, secrets, and ruthless ambition, every choice has consequences. Loyalties will be tested, hearts will be broken, and betrayal lurks in the most unexpected places. Survival is only the beginning; when nothing is as it seems, even the purest hearts cast the darkest shadows.Complete

I was never meant to stand out. Just a quiet guy in a crowded world-walking hallways, reading books I never cared about, watching people laugh from a distance. Then one day... she forgot her book in the library, Hana. She didn't say much. She never smiled. But for the first time, I saw someone who felt like a reflection of me - Alone. Detached. Tired. I don't know why I picked up her book, but I did. And that one, simple decision? It changed everything. This isn't some perfect love story. We didn't fall fast. We just... found each other-in the silence, in the grief, in the little moments most people overlook. This is about loneliness. About losing everything. About finding someone when you've stopped looking. And about learning to live, even when your days are numbered. This is our story. These are our... Unwritten Pages.Complete
