This isn't a story about perfect love. It's about the kind that scars and saves you all at once.
Kiki loved Alexis with a fire that didn't ask permission - a love that gave, stayed, and broke quietly when no one was watching. What began as a heartbeat turned into a lesson: that love isn't about being chosen, it's about showing up even when it hurts.
Through absence, silence, and all the spaces in between, Kiki learned that heartbreak doesn't always roar - sometimes it hums. And in that hum, she found strength, faith, and forgiveness.

Where The Fireworks Felt Gentle
Three years ago, I thought I had everything - a relationship that looked perfect on the outside but slowly burned me from within. I was the girl who stayed, even when the silence between us was louder than any explosion in the sky. It started with a lie - a hidden account, a woman I was told not to worry about, and a month of being ghosted for simply asking why. I cried, begged, and convinced myself that love was meant to be endured, that pain was just proof of how much I cared. But love shouldn't feel like walking through smoke, trying to find someone who's already gone. Love shouldn't make you afraid of the noise. And yet, I stayed - blinded by the sparks that hurt more than they shined. Until one December night beneath a sky of bursting colors, someone stood beside me. The world was loud, but for the first time, I wasn't afraid. The fireworks that once made me flinch now felt soft, safe... gentle. That was the night everything changed. That was the night I learned what love was truly meant to feel like.
Brutally yours
To the quiet girls with stormy hearts. To the boys who feel too much but show too little. To those who were never chosen first - but loved like they were the last. This story is for the unseen, the unheard, the untamed. For every soul who thought they were "too soft" for this world - and found someone who didn't just see their softness, but protected it with fire. For anyone who still believes that love isn't always gentle - but when it's real, it is brutally honest, brutally fierce, and brutally yours. And most of all - To the one who dreams loud in silence: This is your story. You just haven't lived it yet.Complete

I don't love you
It's better to have loved and lost then to have never loved at all right? Bull shit. I'm Caitlin Iero and I was in love once and he left me. With a note and two years worth of memories. I actually wished that I had never fallen in love with him because then maybe I wouldn't be hurting this bad. I don't know if he'll ever come back. I don't know if he ever stays up late wondering about me like I wonder about him. I just don't know anymore.Complete
WHERE THE QUIET LIVES..
She lived her life in silence - not because she didn't have a voice, but because the world had taught her that being quiet meant being safe. Mimi was the kind of girl who stayed late at work just to avoid the noise of the crowd. A brilliant data analyst with soft eyes and a tired heart, she'd mastered the art of keeping people out - even when every part of her ached to be seen. Then came Leo - tattoo artist, heart-on-sleeve, and more patient than anyone had a right to be. Covered in ink and kindness, he met her not with noise, but with stillness. And for the first time, she wasn't afraid of being known. This isn't the story of grand gestures or love at first sight. It's about the space between the words. The way two quiet souls find each other in a world that never stops screaming. It's about love that waits. And hands that never rush. Where the Quiet Lives is a slow burn - for the overthinkers, the introverts, and anyone who's ever needed time to believe they're worthy of love.Complete
When you find Love
Radhika has always believed that love comes quietly - the kind you grow into, the kind that stays. And for the longest time, she thought she had found that love in Deepak, her childhood constant, her almost-everything. But life has a way of rearranging people, pulling them into different worlds. Deepak, swallowed by ambition, forgets the girl who once held a soft corner of his heart. Radhika, left behind in the shadows of his rise, carries feelings she never had the courage to say aloud. And just when Deepak finally realises what she meant to him... it's too late. Timing, fate, and life - all wrong. Their heartbreak becomes the wound they both learn to live with. Years pass. Careers change. Families drift. Radhika rebuilds herself piece by piece, never knowing that destiny is quietly rearranging her story again. Enter Krish - a man she has never met, but someone who feels strangely familiar from the first accidental encounter. Gentle where life has been harsh, steady where her world has been unstable, Krish becomes the unexpected warmth Radhika didn't know she was allowed to feel again. As their connection deepens, they find themselves standing against family expectations, old scars, and the ghosts of first heartbreak. This is a story of almost-lovers who couldn't be, and two souls who were always meant to be. A journey from unspoken love to shattered hearts, from healing to a love that finally chooses them back. A slow burn. A second chance at life. A first chance at true love. Sometimes the love you lose teaches you how to recognize the love that was written for you. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Because sometimes, love isn't loud. It's just there. And it stays. .Complete
