Twelve years ago, he vanished without a word. Now he's back-with a message that unravels everything she tried to forget.

Jacinth thought she'd made peace with the past. A radio jock with a steady life in Baguio, she's learned to carry her scars in silence-especially the one left by Ken, the boy who once waited for her at every twilight, then disappeared without goodbye.

But when a mysterious listener left a comment - "You sang Stay... and I didn't"- her carefully quiet world begins to crack. Because it's not just a random comment. It's a memory. And she knows exactly who it came from.

As old emotions resurface and unanswered questions claw their way back, Jacinth is forced to confront the kind of love that never really ends - only fades into something like goodbye.

Not All Stories End With Happily Ever After by Alexandr44ite

She was the forgotten daughter, the broken girl... until fate gave her one last story to tell. Adopted into a family that never truly loved her, Amelia's life was a constant storm of betrayal and loneliness. Just when she thought it couldn't get worse, the truth was revealed-she wasn't their real daughter. Then came the cruelest betrayal: a drugged drink, a violent setup, and a night that should've broken her... but led her into the arms of the man who once silently loved her. Four years later, she returns-quietly, with a little boy and a dying heart. But she carries more than a child. She carries goodbye. And when the truth unfolds-of the child, the illness, and her true identity-every life she touched is shattered. This is not a story about happy endings. This is a story about what's left behind when love comes too late.

When Cinnamon Fades by Ghhhzfgg

Nico's life has always revolved around Alice - until losing her forces him to face the empty space she left behind. In the quiet hum of Maya's bakery and Sarah's sharp humor, he begins to taste something new: the fragile warmth of moving on. But the past doesn't stay buried, and love never fades cleanly. A story about heartbreak, hunger, and learning to belong again - even when the sweetness starts to fade.

We were something by Anyone005

"If he ever finds out how fast my heart beats when he's near me... I'm doomed." "If she gets any closer, I'm going to forget why I'm pretending not to care." Claire never expected her quiet life to clash with Archer- the school's most unreadable mystery. What starts with playful pranks turns into late night thoughts, missed chances and a silence that grows too loud to ignore. One misunderstanding changes everything. five years later, they meet again- older, colder and still unfinished. They were something. But can They ever become something again? one misunderstanding. 5 yrs apart. A love that never left.

When No One's Watching by kaylee_minji

He draws constellations on his sneakers and disappears in a crowd like he was never there. The other lights up every room he walks into-too loud, too much, and somehow still lonely. One hides behind silence. The other behind a smile. And when their worlds finally collide, it's not fireworks- It's quiet. Slow. A little bit painful. At a school where people only see what they want to, one boy is being hurt in the moments no one's around. And the only one who sees it? Pretends not to-until he can't anymore. A slow-burn love story about unspoken things, hallway bruises, unshared lunches, and the terrifying softness of being seen. Disclaimer: This story is a work of fiction, inspired in part by real-life observations-moments, people, and dynamics that lingered in memory. While the characters and events are mostly fictional, some emotional experiences were drawn from things I've seen or felt in passing. If any part of the story seems to be similar to another it is unintentional. I also don't own any of the art that you might see all credits go to original owners but if you'd like to use any of the characters please ask first.

In the shadow of diamonds (The Diamond He Never Saw) by Nicole_Haven

He never said he loved her. But sometimes silence cuts deeper than words ever could. Sienna never walked away-not really. She stayed, she waited, she felt, while Nicholas mastered the art of saying nothing. But in the stillness between them, something fragile began to fracture. Now, with their paths crossing again in the shimmer of winter and the shadows of old secrets, Sienna finds herself caught in the quiet pull of what could've been-and maybe still is. Leonardo offers her clarity. Warmth. A promise without conditions. But love isn't always a rescue-it can be a reckoning. Torn between a man who speaks in silences and another who says all the right things, Sienna must confront the past that shaped her and the future she dares to want. Because some hearts bruise without breaking. Some goodbyes are never spoken. And some shadows shine brighter than diamonds.
