Before everything fell apart, there was a friend group.
Four lovely kids, now teenagers, who thought that friendship was forever, but that "friendship" has now turned to "strangers".
Since kindergarten, they have as friends and later became best friends.
They shared lunches, played together, shared stories, and did many more.
They believe that growing up wouldn't change anything.
But they were wrong.
Time does not shout when it takes your favorite people/person away.
It's quiet.
It starts with unread messages, ignored conversations, and then silence.
And by the time you realize it, the people who once knew you as a best friend have become strangers with familiar faces.
This isn't just a story about heartbreak or betrayal
It's also bout the kind of friendship that shapes who you are and what happens when it breaks.
Because sometimes, the hardest part of growing up
is realizing that not everyone who started their own fun story
was meant to stay until the end.

Always Been You...
Oh, here we go again-another friends-to-lovers story. I know what you're thinking: Doesn't everyone write these? Isn't this trope overdone? And honestly? You're not wrong. It's the kind of story we've all seen a thousand times. Childhood friends, shared memories, unspoken feelings-it's familiar, maybe too familiar. But hear me out, because this story? It's a little different. Or at least, that's what I'm hoping for. You see, this isn't just a simple tale of two friends realizing they're meant to be. No, it's going to take time-a slow burn, the kind that makes you want to yell at the characters to just get together already. There will be tension, moments of "almost," and plenty of "what ifs." But along the way, there will also be laughter, growth, and those little moments that make you fall in love with their story as much as they fall for each other. It won't be perfect-real love stories never are. There will be misunderstandings, hurt feelings, and some walls to break down. But that's what makes it worth it, right? The journey. The messy, complicated, beautiful journey. So, buckle up. Maybe you'll roll your eyes once or twice. Maybe you'll scream at the characters through the pages. But hopefully, you'll also laugh, smile, and, by the end of it, feel like the journey was worth it. Let's have some fun with this. Shall we?Complete

From the Pain I Can Never Heal From
A story of love, faith, and heartbreak across boundaries Love was never supposed to hurt like this. I thought I knew what it meant to trust, to open my heart and let someone in-but instead, I was left with scars I can't erase. It all started in the most unexpected place-a random group chat. A stranger's words, simple yet protective, made me feel seen for the very first time. What began as harmless conversations turned into late-night calls, secret confessions, and the kind of bond that felt too powerful to ever fade. But love is never just laughter and promises. It's jealousy, misunderstandings, distance, and fears that threaten to tear you apart. It's blocking and unblocking, crying at midnight, and holding on even when everything tells you to let go. So the question is- Was this love my greatest blessing, or the pain I can never heal from? This is not just a story about falling in love-it's about heartbreak, healing, and the way destiny plays with two souls who were never prepared for each other, yet somehow couldn't stay apart. Because sometimes, the people who change us the most... are the ones who break us too. © All Rights ReservedComplete

These Vengeful vows
They were promised to each other before they could even speak. Heir to an empire. Daughter of a legacy. Bound by a deal neither of them asked for. She's learned to live with the panic that shadows her nights, the anxiety that claws at her chest when the world becomes too much. He's learned to bury the ghosts of his past under power, wealth, and a name that opens every door. But the marriage contract changes everything. One bed. One future. No escape. And just when they begin to see beyond the walls they've built around themselves, a message arrives: I know who killed your mother. The sender? A man the groom once called brother. Someone who lost eight years of his life while he walked free. Someone who wants revenge, not just on him, but on the family that destroyed everything. Lies will surface. Loyalties will shatter. And in the middle of it all, two broken souls will have to decide if they can trust each other... or if love is just another trap waiting to break them.

Luna's Diary
Ever since I was a kid, I knew I was different. Other children didn't like hanging out with me. I was silently bullied, and even the teachers seemed to hate me. And honestly? I was ugly. I really was... different. The way I talked, the way I walked-people even said my walk was horrifying (don't ask). The way I did things, the things I found interesting... they all set me apart. Then I entered high school. Suddenly, I became popular. I was beautiful, with a figure people envied. I had tons of friends-three-quarters of whom I still don't know by name. I had the perfect best friend. Teachers adored me. I was even the school's valedictorian. Sure, people still called me weird, but I ruled. Until everything came crashing down... all in one day. --- The day I didn't talk to my best friend. Just one day. Only, I didn't know we wouldn't speak again for days, then months... then years.
