What if your life revolved around lenses? What if you were a lens yourself, meant to serve as only a stepping stone for people to find or lose themselves through? What if that was your fate, the only way you could ever hope to live, endlessly drawn to people, only to put their life together and have them leave you, or destroy them and have them leave you? No matter who you love, no matter how much, whether they are left whole or fragmented, they always leave you behind. And you are left alone until the next person comes along and the dance begins again.
Now, what if you met another with the same fate as yours? Would you be able to reflect each other's darkness to find a new light? Or will you lose yourselves in an effort to achieve more than you were ever meant to?
****
Throughout this story, you will never know the name of the main character, the names of the people who come and go, or the name of the love interest. This is because of two reasons: I believe that the love the main character feels, regardless of gender or appearance, goes far past any physical title the person experiencing it may hold, and because I believe that you may resonate with at least one of these characters I have carefully crafted. You may, at some point, have acted as a lens yourself, or may have encountered a lens, or simply have been a bystander as someone you know did. I hope to maintain this sense of anonymity through the course of this piece of fiction.

Things a Different Way
The thing that you read before you read the book Hello Reader, welcome to our book. Now this story tells two perspectives on one situation, so it can be read inside out, flapways, flipways, sideways, front to back, or back to front (not that we'd recommend it). So please, grab a chair and sit in it (or stand if you prefer) while we introduce the two very special people this is all about. ROSE JACOBS cannot speak. She is easily irritated but very caring at the same time. She's a straight up tomboy and almost never wears makeup. She loves to daydream at any moment she can. All she wants in life is success, and only success. You may call her a buzzkill but I think it's a great life goal. Unlike Poe, no one (even in kindergarten) has ever liked her, except her best friend Greg. But Rose doesn't care, well... nah. We're not gonna tell you, that would ruin the story. POE XIAO cannot see. We think you can tell where this is going. He's charming, ever so flirty, and oh-so sarcastic. He's more put together than a blind guy should be. Girls drop like flies around him, but none of that really matters. On the inside- well, if we told you that would ruin it, right? Read as these two collide at an internship and a number of other painfully awkward situations. You shall laugh and cry and maybe even both, which might cause you to snort milk out of your nose, so we'd be careful. It's a wild ride of what it's like to live silenced and in the dark.

𝑴𝒂𝒓𝒛 𝒆 𝑰𝒔𝒉𝒒 [Sickness of Love] ****** She never imagined life would bring her to a crossroad where she'd question her own existence. One fleeting encounter and suddenly, she was desperate-for a moment that had already passed. He never believed in fate. Not until he saw her. And for the first time, destiny felt like a choice he was willing to surrender to. [Anaya x Eryan] Tropes:- Mafia romance Enemies to lovers Secrets. ***** She thought nothing could break her-until loving him did. But fate has a cruel sense of irony. Because she was the one who played-and ended up broken He never believed in love or games. To him, it was all just a ridiculous illusions. Until he fell-for her.

What she mistook as innocent admiration was an obsession in disguise- and before she knew it, she was trapped in a love that never asked for permission.

Holding on and Letting go [Complete]
[BLURB] "Well, now I'm back and I'm gonna drag you to court, you piece of shite," she said before passing a humorless chortle. "Do that and you're doomed." He sniggered, his manevolent gaze hurling obscenities towards her. "Oh yeah? How?" She rose a perfect eyebrow, animosity etched on each lineament. "Let's just say, I have something of yours that'll destroy you." The telltale monstrosity perceptible in his evil kingdom of eyes set a havoc inside her adrenaline rushing body but she held her grounds strong. "And what's that?" And there he showed her something that choked the life out of her frail body as she lost her balance in dizziness. ****** Love is elusive but sometimes it knocks right at your door but you're too arrogant to pay it any heed or maybe too scared to acknowledge it. Either way, destiny always knows how to play its part well. You can ignore it but can never run away from it. It never lets you evade itself and follows you everywhere, like a shadow. Crooning and spreading its arms right open at you, enveloping you from every nook, cajoling you, brandishing your tattered soul, and enticing you to the point where you have to surrender and accept it. Where you have to hold on to it and let everything else go. Because sometimes all a ragged soul and a chasm heart need is a pint of love. The tale of two youngsters who kept finding their way towards each other no matter how hard they tried to ignore it. Life would always collide their paths. Always making up their minds to never see each other again to always bumping on each other, destiny already had something else in store for them. So what was it? A journey of loathing to love. A journey of holding on and letting go.Concluida

You handled it like a champ. What you are is a strong, brave being that has stood by my side." I breathe as he leans closer. "What you are, is the love of my life...."Concluida
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.Concluida
The Space Between by Noah V
In a world where we carry thousands of connections in our pockets, why do so many of us still go to bed feeling like strangers to ourselves? Why does "seen" at 11:47 PM feel more intimate than most conversations we have face-to-face? This is a story about two young men-Micky and Harry-who found each other across continents and drawn together by the magnetic pull of possibility and the desperate need to be seen for who they truly are. Both carry the invisible weight of childhoods where love came with conditions-where being seen meant being someone else entirely. Each has learned what it means to bend for a world that rarely bends back. And still, they've come to understand that some of the most meaningful connections are born in quiet, against the odds, where they've found that the deepest connections often take root in the least expected places-within the soft glow of a phone screen, in late night exchanges the span continents and emotional scars. But what happens when the person who finally sees your real self-lives 300 miles away? When the most honest conversations of your life happen through a screen? When the love that feels like coming home exists only in the space between "message sent" and "message received"? This is not just a story about online romance or the complexities of modern love. This is a story about the terrifying intimacy of being truly known-and the devastating realization that sometimes the people who love us best are the ones we can't touch. It's about the courage it takes to be vulnerable, the price we pay for authenticity, and the sometimes painful journey toward understanding what we truly deserve. It's about two people learning that the search for love-real, honest, transformative love-often begins with the hardest task of all: learning to love themselves.![𝐌𝐢𝐣𝐚𝐚𝐳 𝐞 𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐪 [Completed]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/395563316-256-k867622.jpg)
