In a small town where pain hides behind quiet smiles, Ava struggles with the weight of her past - anxiety, loneliness, and secrets that threaten to consume her. When Kai, a mysterious and gentle soul, enters her life, he becomes a flicker of hope in her darkness. Their slow-burning connection challenges Ava to confront her fears and learn that maybe, just maybe, she's not as broken as she thinks.

WHERE WINTER BLOOMS
Sometimes, first love isn't a person. It's the first time someone truly sees you. Nathan sings in silence. No one knows he does. No one asks why he stopped shining. Ryan pretends he's fine. No one notices he's breaking inside. A paper plane connects them. An empty theater listens. And in the middle of the world's noise, two boys find in music a language more honest than words. But growing up hurts. Loving hurts more. And the fear of disappointing those who should protect you can be louder than any melody. This story is for those who've ever felt like they didn't belong. For those who carry invisible wounds and still dare to dream. For those who know that love doesn't always shout... sometimes, it just sings.

Ava never expected her last year of high school to start with a stranger changing everything. Quiet, unpredictable, impossible to read, Liam walks into her life like a storm she didn't see coming. He hides behind sarcasm and long sleeves, drifting through school like he's just passing through. Ava tells herself not to care. But then he looks at her. And she sees it, the pain he tries to bury, the secrets he pretends don't exist, the loneliness he carries like a shadow. When they're forced to work together for a class project, Ava slowly discovers the truth he hides from everyone else: Liam doesn't let people close. Because the last time he did... it destroyed him. What begins as awkward teamwork turns into late-night conversations, shared moments, and quiet confessions neither of them meant to say out loud. They're not supposed to fall for each other. They're not even supposed to be friends. But some connections don't care about rules. As Ava gets pulled deeper into Liam's world and the complicated, fragile life he tries so hard to manage, she realizes there's more at stake than just her heart. Because Liam's past is darker than she ever imagined. And the truth waiting for him is something that might change everything. This is a story about two people learning to trust again... about staying when it's easier to run... and about finding light in the one person you never expected.

Say you love me
"I want to help you." His bright eyes sparkle in the moonlight. "You can't help me! You hurt me!" By now, the tears I had been desperately trying to hold back finally slip out. "They hurt you!" As he yells, the anger in his voice eases out; his eyes are filled with familiar sadness. "I have nowhere else to go." I shoot back, taking a step away from him, afraid he will strike me as everyone else does. As soon as he notices this, his eyes widen, and his fists relax. "Come with me." He responds, hope gleaming in his eyes. I look up at the bright moon shining down on us as the breeze ruffles my hair. "Come with you?" I question. Just as he nods my dizziness takes over, sending me to the ground. His hands wrap around me, barely catching me. "Don't let them hurt me." I whisper, looking into his eyes, trying to not let the spinning world take me. "They won't hurt you anymore. Ever." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tivelly always seemed like the popular girl, always filling the room with her laughs and bright smiles. No one had noticed the excess of makeup that would occasionally be used to hide the bruises. The words "I love you" being foreign to her. Kaiden has always been one of the guys that her attention is always brought to. The heartthrob every girl wants, but no one ever gets. It took one drunk Tivelly and a Kaiden in his right mind to get them to form a friendship. They both have baggage that weighs on their hearts heavily. Now all they need is each other to get through the storm that's about to hit them head on. Sexual abuse Mental abuse Physical abuseComplete
