Love doesn't always arrive softly - sometimes it crashes into your life like a storm, leaving you breathless and broken all at once. Austin Caddle and Alice Evans never planned to fall for each other, but fate had other ideas. What begins as an unexpected connection soon turns into a love so consuming that it blurs the lines between passion and pain.
Their story unfolds across quiet nights, unspoken emotions, and moments that feel almost too real to be fiction. Because in a way... they aren't. I've witnessed something like this in real life - a love that burned bright, too bright to last. This story is inspired by them.
I've taken this to a foreign setting just to keep myself sane while writing it, but every word still carries a piece of truth. I hope you enjoy it - and feel every heartbeat, every silence, and every goodbye along the way. 🌹

Me and you till the end
"They hated each other first. Then they learned what real love feels like messy, loud, and impossible to forget." Jacob Reeves and Olivia Wilde were never supposed to work together. He was the quiet, brooding type - the guy who kept his guard up and his feelings buried deeper than anyone could reach. She was all passion and fire, a hopeless romantic who believed that love could fix anything. So when they were forced to team up for a college project about love, it felt like a cruel joke. Their meetings were full of sarcasm, stubborn arguments, and frustrated sighs. He thought she was too idealistic. She thought he didn't have a heart. But late nights have a way of breaking down walls. Between stacks of notes and too many cups of coffee, their conversations began to shift. The project became an excuse to stay longer, to talk about things that had nothing to do with school - dreams, fears, regrets, and everything in between. Somewhere between the bickering and the laughter, Jacob and Olivia fell for each other. Not in a perfect, movie-scene kind of way, but in a real way - messy, unexpected, and impossible to control. But timing has never been kind to them. Life pulled them in different directions - heartbreaks, ambitions, and choices they couldn't undo. Still, what they shared never truly faded. It lingered in every memory, every "what if," every song that reminded them of what once was. Because some love stories don't end - they echo. And theirs? It's the kind you never forget, no matter how far you run.Complete
Yours Truly, Austin Post - Post Malone
Ava watches as Austin clings to Gracie, his shoulders shaking as he buries his face in her blankets, powerless to ease the grief that holds him. He's torn between the brief promise of two nights and the weight of his own emotions. Ava can't fix this, but she can't walk away either. When Austin speaks, his words echo with a raw desperation. "How do I leave her like this? It's only two nights... my dad says it's only two nights. But that's the problem. It's only two nights." Sitting beside him, Ava offers no simple answers, just the truth she's learned over the years. Time is a fleeting thing, and if you measure it by hours or days, you'll never have enough. Instead, you count the moments that matter. You hold onto memories, letting them string together to form something beautiful, even when life feels like it's slipping through your fingers. "Everybody's going to hurt you," she tells him, her voice steady, yet heavy with understanding. "You just gotta find the one worth suffering for." But as Austin struggles to hold on to what he loves, he begins to wonder: Is Gracie worth the pain? And if he lets go, what will be left of him? In a world where time is never enough, Ava and Austin must learn what it really means to choose love-and to embrace the fleeting moments that will shape their futures. A deeply emotional story of love, loss, and the memories that make us who we are.Complete

Freedom from Within
This is my first attempt at writing a longer story. Here are few things about this novelette: - A novelette stands between a short story and a novella (7, 500- 17,500 words). - This story is not edited, so expect mistakes. - The story has explicit and mature contents. - As part of my "trademark," the story deals with love and loss. Expect drama! - The story is written in a nonlinear way. - I almost forgot; this is a lesbian story. If in any way you find it disgusting, you're free to bounce, yo! (In Jesse Pinkman's voice) - This is fiction. Question me and I will put you in here just to kill you, Game of Thrones style. Lol - © ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. Let's just support each other. Peace out! How does one make music using broken strings? Discover the powers and dangers of love in this mixture of clichés, realities, and fiction about love, loss, pain, depression, and survival. I have lived in a dark cage. I have torn every page. I have not known light; I think I lost my flight. Please come and rescue me; Whoever hears me! Help liberate this heart And show me love they call art.Complete
