She's been waiting her whole life to be chosen.
Abandoned at four, she learned that love could vanish overnight.
So she taught herself to survive
to smile when she wanted to scream,
to say yes when her heart whispered no,
to make herself small enough to fit inside anyone else's world but her own.
She became the girl who fixed everyone but herself.
The one who believed that if she could just be perfect enough, quiet enough, good enough... someone would finally stay.
But perfection is a fragile disguise.
And when the cracks begin to show, so does the truth -
about love, about pain, and the cost of needing to be wanted more than being whole.
**********
Please Pick Me is a raw, beautifully broken story about the ache of abandonment, the hunger to belong,
and the quiet storm that rises when a girl learns what love isn't.

Kabir - the man she once loved... now holding the hand of a two-year-old boy. And the child looks at her like she already belongs in his world. Old wounds reopen. Unspoken truths resurface. And the past refuses to stay buried. Sometimes fate and destiny meet in the most unexpected ways - and second chances come when you least expect them.
Was it meant to be!?
Was It Ever Ours? It was their first love, and neither of them knew what to do with it. He was quiet, unsure, always wondering if he could ever be enough. She was bold, full of questions, but hiding just as much. They didn't mean for it to happen. It started with little moments - a shared smile, an accidental touch, the way his heart raced when she laughed. No one told them what to expect when love is new - the joy, the fear, the way everything can feel like too much and yet not enough. It wasn't a perfect story. It was messy, with secrets, doubts, and too many things left unsaid. But it was theirs, for a moment. And sometimes, that's all you can hold onto.Complete
