Jack was beautiful in theory.
Elliot met him on a day that felt like a beginning. He spoke in riddles, smiled like secrets, and made promises in passing-never with intention, always with charm.
She gave him soft things: warm dinners, long hikes, pieces of herself painted into silence. He gave her almost enough.
But "almost" never holds.
It slips through cracks and leaves you questioning the shape of love.
This story begins in that space-where hope lingers longer than it should, and where Elliot must choose between what she feels and what she knows.
And knowing changes everything.

She Chose Herself
Elia never expected to be noticed, especially not by Aiden, the tall, charming, too-good-to-be-true boyfriend of her best friend, Isa. With her oversized glasses, quiet ways, and insecurities she carried like a second skin, Elia had always been the invisible girl in the corner. Until she wasn't. Until he started looking at her like she mattered. What began as stolen glances grew into a love that broke the rules and broke Isa's heart. Elia thought she had won, but when Aiden's lies finally came to light, everything she believed in shattered. Now, in the wreckage of what used to be love, Elia is left with the hardest question of all. Was he ever worth losing herself for? This is not just a love story. It is a story of betrayal, regret, and the slow, quiet work of healing. A story of learning to walk away, not to chase someone else, but to finally return to herself. Because sometimes the bravest thing a girl can do is choose herself.Terminé

Told in six parts-Before Us, Becoming Us, The Distance, The Ending, After Us, and Becoming Me Again-this is her journey from first glance to final goodbye, and the love she found on the other side of letting go.Terminé
Little Light (GxG)
In a world that moves too fast, she's learning to breathe slowly. To feel again. To let someone touch the parts of her she thought were long gone. There are no crowns here. No thrones. Just the quiet war of learning how to be held without flinching. She doesn't beg for safety. She creates it in silence. And when she kneels, it's not for weakness- it's because she trusts. But trust has a pulse. And it just might be hers. A story of shadows softened by light, of control given, not taken. Of healing whispered through touch, and love written in silence. This isn't where the pain begins. It's where it learns to rest. ⚠️ WARNING ⚠️ : EMOTIONAL INTIMACY SUBSPACE SLOW-BURN HEALING TRIGGERING THEMES (VULNERABILITY, TRUST, PAST TRAUMA) 🔴 Tops: 🔴 1.

What If I Was Nothing?
Hannah and Ryan once believed love meant being everything to each other. But somewhere between unanswered calls, quiet dinners, and promises that became too heavy to carry, their relationship began to change. Ryan has spent years trying to protect Hannah from every fear, every mistake, and every moment of pain. Hannah has spent just as long pretending she is fine so he will stop trying to save her. They still love each other, but love has become tangled with guilt, dependence, and the fear of who they might be apart. When one broken promise brings everything they have avoided to the surface, they are forced to confront the question neither of them is ready to answer: What if losing the person you love does not make you nothing? A bittersweet story about love, identity, letting go, and learning that sometimes two people must fall apart before they can become whole.Terminé![The Edge Of Forgiveness [Season 1]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/393688430-256-k968282.jpg)
The Edge Of Forgiveness [Season 1]
"Even the stars forget to shine sometimes..." They didn't expect to become close. He had his own past. She had hers. Living under one roof with familiar faces and old connections, things were supposed to be simple-but feelings got involved. Slowly, gently, and without warning. This is a story about unexpected bonds, slow trust, quiet comfort, and the kind of relationship that grows with time. There's teasing, arguments, healing, and a whole lot of moments that mean more than they seem. Sometimes love doesn't start with grand gestures. Sometimes, it begins when someone just... Stays.Terminé
