What if everything you thought happened... was just how your mind chose to remember it?
After the accident, Grace returns to school. Everyone looks at her with pity.
But she's fine.
She knows she is.
Now, Grace starts to wonder if her mind is showing her the world as it is... or as she wants to see it.
Because when guilt distorts the lens, even lies can look like the truth.

In a flash
It just happened in a flash, just like that it was like a dream..no a nightmare one in which I could never wake up from, one in which we all couldn't wake up from. We could never wake up from it... If this were to happened at the beginning of our lives then at some point we could have said it's in the past let's focus on the present to make the future void of any more mistakes like the past but NO! We were sailing smoothly, normal life shenaggins, but in an instant everything we knew, everything I KNEW was tainted pure black void of light, it's our present predicament it's not in the past -YET it can never be, no one wants to accept it's in the past, I don't want to accept it's in the past. There's no future for me if i can't get past this, there's no future for US if we don't get past this..the question is can I ever get past this, CAN WE ever get past this, it involves all of us it's the bitter truth we all are protagonists in each chapter of this whole fucking nightmare OR story, we are engulfed in this darkness seeing as darkness has no source we ask amongst ourselves when will light come to us and what was the light we all once had, what gave the light, because the source of light we all had is dead, gone, broken, lost..... "It wasn't me, I swear it wasn't me... it can't be, it wasn't my fault
Chances Of Truth ☑️
"It's too much to remember everything and everyone, all pain and hurt is killing me day by day little by little. I wish I could remove all the pain and move on in my life. I wish I could find an eraser or Better a delete button, so that I could start from beginning, without any misery or pain." ......................................................................................... "Hey Eva, you know you can trust me, right? " He asked me again cupping my cheeks, I can't let him continue this. It had to stop now or it would be too late. I can't risk everyone's life specially his. If hurting him means, him being alive then I would do it without thinking. Again and again. "Eva are you even listening to me?" Noah asked moving his face closer. From this close I can even see the scar which he told me about, its just below the border line of his hair, it can be easily conceal but from this close its more real. His eyes, they are magical. I would love to look at them all the time and never get tired of looking at in them. No, I cannot do this to him, I can't be selfish, I have to do something this time. "No" I answer and walked away from him. .............................................................Complete![FOCUS [BXB]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/403189039-256-k154097.jpg)
FOCUS [BXB]
Like a bolt of lightning, this stupid boy appeared in my life. First day of summer break between first and second grade, he just appeared- standing on my porch like he was born there. Straight brown hair, wide dark eyes and a fresh sunburn across his cheeks. He was already talking before I even opened the door. I don't know how it happened but it's been ten years. And he's still here. Talking, whether or not I'm listening. Laughing, even if no one else is. He's still too quick- racing around the world like he's scared he's going to miss it. He's gotten taller...much taller. His hair is a little longer, a little wavier, but under the light it still looks the same golden brown it did when we were nine. And now, finally, he was a high school graduate. We both were. Like a bolt of lightning he appeared and like the sun he refused to disappear. _____________________________________________ I fell asleep with my chin pointed at him, the outline of his face being the last thing I saw. How was I supposed to do this? It had always been difficult, hiding this secret, keeping him close. But now, my focus was starting to slip. I couldn't see anything but his lips, his hands, his smile. I couldn't hear anything but my name in his mouth, his jagged breaths and that loud laugh. How am I supposed to be okay with this? How am I supposed to focus on anything other than him? #1- slowburn- 11.10.25🥇 #1- friends to lovers- 11.01.25🥇 #1- fluffandsmut- 11.02.25🥇 #1- college- 11.06.25🥇 #1- best friends- 11.12.25🥇 #1- teammates- 12.04.25 🥇 #1- college roommates- 12.30.25🥇 #1- mental health- 01.02.2026 🥇 #1- gay love- 01.02.2026 🥇 #2- roommates- 12.18.25🥈 #3- bxblove- 11.30.25🥉 #4- boyxboy- 11.01.25 #4- lgbt- 11.15.25 #14- boyxboyromance- 12.15.25 #22- basketball- 12.15.25Complete
