Zayne never thought losing his best friend could feel like freedom. After months of silent tension, he finally cuts off Pauline, the girl who used to feel like a sister but turned every moment toxic. What's left is a strange mix of guilt, peace, and a quiet loneliness he doesn't know how to fill.
Then Diamond walks in; someone who listens, understands, and makes the world feel lighter. But as old memories resurface and whispers about his friendship with Pauline spread, Zayne starts to wonder if escaping the past is ever really possible.
A story about friendship, betrayal, and finding yourself when the people you trusted the most turn into strangers.

For the past 4 years that little girl has had me wrapped around her finger and I wouldn't have it any other way. Unfortunately I got stuck in traffic on the way over so I'm late for pick up. Once I get to Melanie's classroom I fill out the sign out sheet that's on the wall and make my way into the classroom. I faintly hear Melanie laughing so I know she's not upset from me being late. "Hey I'm so sorry. I got stuck in traff..." I said stopping mid sentence, stunned at the woman in front of me. Standing in front of me is someone I considered one of the most important people to me back in highschool.

UnWritten By Pain ReWritten By Love
Impressive Rankings: #1- Poetic Romance #1 - She chose herself #2 - healing from pain #2- Toxic Healing #9- emotional love story She was built from battles, not lullabies. Velira never asked for softness. She never craved love. Raised by hardship and wrapped in quiet strength, she was the protector of her family, of herself, of everything fragile in her world. Until Zayven. He wasn't a prince. He didn't arrive with promises. He came like a slow-burning fire, unraveling her silence, melting the steel in her chest, and showing her the kind of love that doesn't ask to be believed; it simply stays. This is not just a love story. It's a story about survival, breaking and rebuilding, and how the strongest hearts often carry the deepest scars. And how even a girl made of stone can learn to feel again, when the right soul touches hers.Complete
BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT
This story is basically an autobiography, focused mainly on the toxic friendships I have had with people over the years all because I wanted to give them another chance. This story shows if you've heard something or notice a certain character, you should look more into it instead of brushing it off because you feel you know someone well enough. Many people can't be saying exactly the same thing and a onetime character is meant to be shown only once. This story also focuses on friendships that just fell through, some for no reason, some for tough reasons. In short, this story shows just how TOUGH friendships are... Did I learn that? I did! Only it took me way too long to do so.Complete
