In a quiet New England town where summers move slow and everyone remembers who you used to be, a returning teenager must learn to rebuild a life she left behind.

The Summer of Absolutely Nothing by Sttrre

It's summer - the end of my first year of college. And I am home again, more than a little worse for the wear. College hadn't gone how I had expected it to go. After two years of the grind to get in, I thought I would find the kind of magic I saw in American high school movies, which I had been denied of in school - late nights, parties, wild adventures with whacky best friends, romance.... everything one is told is supposed to happen in one's teenage years. After two years of watching my classmates grow up and enter this world, I thought it was my turn, now. I thought my college life would be like a coming-of-age movie. But in reality? It wouldn't make a good story, of any kind - not even a sad one. The only thing I found were shiftless friends, stifling academic pressure and heartbreak. So now I was home - a little bruised, a little broken. A few dreams in shards around my feet. Turns out, I needn't have worried. The summer that followed changed my life. The summer of - after a hectic, stressful year - nothing at all. Nothing, and yet - everything.

summer of Maybe by kanika_serenadelife

There is a darkness that lives in silence. Not the kind you can hear. Not the kind you can fight or run from. It is the quiet that settles in the spaces between words. The empty rooms where laughter once echoed, now hollow and cold. The glance that flickers away too fast, the words that hover on the tip of a tongue but never fall. It is a darkness made of things left unsaid. Of promises broken without a sound. Of love turning brittle and sharp. You don't feel it at first. You tell yourself everything is fine. That the smiles are real. That the morning sunlight warming the kitchen is enough to hold the day together. But deep down, something is unraveling. You can't see the threads coming loose, but they pull harder with every breath you take. The foundation beneath you trembles, slow and steady. The people who are supposed to be your safe harbor-your family-are falling apart behind closed doors. And you stand in the middle, too young to understand, too old to ignore the shadows in their eyes. They tell you to be happy. To be strong. To believe in the future. But their voices falter. Their hands shake. They hide secrets in whispered phone calls and hurried gestures. And even when you don't want to see it, you know. You know that this summer is not a break. It is a reckoning. A reckoning wrapped in warm air and salty sea breeze. A reckoning dressed as a fresh start. Because some silences are louder than screams. And some endings don't wait for the night to fall. They begin in the golden light of a seemingly ordinary morning. The moment before everything breaks.

A SUMMER TO REMEMBER by Ifeoluwafayemi

A Summer to Remember..... One summer holiday. One man. A love I never saw coming. I went searching for a break, but found a passion that utterly consumed me.

Get lost in an intense and tender romance where every touch, every kiss, every moment burns brighter than the summer sun.

His Silence, My Storm: Drowning In Hope by manahilalihere

They say love begins in silence. But what happens when the silence lasts too long? This is not a love story about happily ever afters. This is a story about almosts- About late-night conversations that stopped just short of meaning something. About eye contacts that promised more, but always ended in friendship. In Part 1, she loved him quietly. In Part 2, she starts to speak- but still, he doesn't listen the way she hoped. She tries to become his safe place. She tries to heal his fear of attachment. She tries to read his mind, hold his hand without holding it, and love him in a way that feels patient-not desperate. But the more she hopes, the more she drowns. This is the continuation of a one-sided love story that became too heavy to carry. A confession soaked in unsent messages, mixed signals, and a storm of emotions that never found a home. Sometimes, loving someone means letting go. Sometimes, silence is louder than goodbye.

ᶜʰᵉʳʳʸ ᵇᵃᵇʸ , ʰᵃʳʳʸ ˢᵗʸˡᵉˢ by girlinthebubbless

We loved each other like the sand and the ocean. Parting ways, yet still connected by one thing we didn't know how to describe. She was like the morning coffee I drunk. Bitter yet reviving. Still keeping me going. On my toes. And I love her.

Texting With The Don by nikkihershell

We was just a few girl's who thought it would be amazing to spend several month's in Italy after college graduation. One last major bash before reality set in and we headed out into the world to make our mark. However my reality was very different from my friend's. Not long into our trip I started receiving these strange texts from a unknown person. Sometimes they would be funny, flirty then other time's they could be right scary. Had I'd known then what I know now I would have never boarded that plane. A fun, flirty tale with some chills and thrills! Oh and did I mention love??? ??? Don't leave that text on seen now!?

King of Hearts: Forever Young in Heart by DylanMedley2000

His story is released..but it is just getting started. It is just a new chapter to the fairytale. She released her past into my ears of visions of ways she was never truly loved. I still wanted her heart even if it was already broken. No one knows how long it takes to erase someone from their memory. Days, months, or maybe even years. See he was just different in the way he acted. All his life he had to fight. Had to act a certain way around certain people. He once believed it was a curse. But slowly he is starting to see it is a blessing. Whatever he sees or feels from an environment he adapted to. Every women he gave love to. All roads have lead to this destination.

A lover's guide to love by ivi_writes

When 23 year old Ava Monroe decides to abandon her life in America and move to Italy for as long as her heart desires, all she wants is to start and finish the book she has been struggling to write for so long while looking down from a perfect balcony to the life of Italy unravelling beneath her. But what can someone that doesn't believe in love fill a book with? What could she possibly write that moves her in a way that nothing else can ever do? Perhaps, in more ways than one, a handsome stranger can alter her world-view throughout the roller coaster of her visit which changes her beliefs forever. --- Rankings; #3 in Adventurous : November 29

Italian Cuoricini by pxtterslumos

Sixteen, an exchange student, and a summer in Italy that changes everything. From getting caught in the rain at the Vatican to wandering the streets of Florence, from chaotic beach days in Sardegna to laugh-until-you-cry adventures in Naples, every moment is unforgettable. But when the summer ends, so does the closeness - and distance, life, and family struggles threaten to pull them apart. A story about first love, laughter, heartbreak, and learning that some memories are too precious to let go. (PS: this is a a real story, this is my actual love life. characters names are fake though and I actually had to go to therapy after all this romance bullshit, you're welcome i decided to write about it! i haven't written a fanfic in years and i'm thinking if i should write about my other ex even though he was way shittier than "Darren" <3)
