Five strangers. One storm.
Pulled together by the rain, they all seek shelter in the same small café - strangers with broken lives, hiding from the world.
Because some people are thunder.
Some are lightning.
And some are the kind of rain that changes everything.

When the sky falls
It started with a storm. Not the one outside, though the thunder did shake the windows, but the kind that builds inside a heart when fear and silence collide. He comes soaked, frantic, aching with guilt. She shatters in his arms. In the quiet that followed, between whispered apologies and tear-soaked skin, something shifted. Something raw, unspoken, real. The kind of truth that couldn't be buried under fake smiles or half-meant words. And when morning came, with rain still clinging to the earth, they stood side by side, soaked in the storm, brave in the aftermath. This isn't just a story about rain. It's about what happens when the sky falls... and the right person stays.Complete
My First and My Last
Everything was fine and radiant. The sun was shining and the world filled with possibilities. Things I could not see were approaching fast and I could not help feeling down when that storm destroyed what I most cared about. A piece of me is now gone. And where am I in this? I am the boat that is fighting against everything.Complete
Before Us, After Me
A story of love that bloomed, broke, and left her to rebuild from the pieces. They met by chance. Fell hard. Built dreams between kisses and promises. And then- the slow unraveling. This is the story of a girl who loved deeply and lost quietly. Of betrayal whispered through late-night silences and heartbreak that didn't end with goodbye. It's about watching him become someone else's, while she was still holding onto the version of him he used to be. But it's also about becoming. 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.Complete
Drunk Confessions & Sober Truths
They were friends. Just friends. That's what they told themselves, what he told himself when her laugh hit just right, when her hand brushed his arm, when her smile made his heart stutter. To everyone else, it looked easy, a natural closeness built over time, the kind of bond that doesn't need to be questioned. But for Eric, it was anything but simple. And for Melissa, it was getting harder to pretend the butterflies didn't mean something more. Then came the drinks, the warmth, the way she leaned into him like she belonged there. The protectiveness in his voice when someone else got too close. The way her fingers clutched his shirt like she was holding onto something she didn't want to lose. A kiss that wasn't supposed to happen. A moment neither of them meant to cross, but couldn't walk away from.Complete

I don't know, I just need to write stuff right now. When you thought you found the one, after all this time, after all the poeple that left, and it turns out, she loves someone else. For when the rain comes, and the hail, and all hell is unleashed, out of nowhere.Complete
