Avery Hale believed love was a quiet thing-
until she met Liam Carter, the boy who ruined silence.

He was loud laughter, broken edges, late-night kindness he hid from the world.
She was calm storms, unread messages, and a heart afraid to be needed again.

They weren't meant to collide.
Not in New York City.
Not in that coffee shop.
Not in that moment she looked over her shoulder... and he smiled like he had been waiting for her all his life.

Everyone told them to stay away.
They didn't listen.

Because sometimes the person you're running from...
is the only person who makes you feel like home.

A rom-com with heartbreak, healing, chaos, and that one undeniable truth:
Some people don't enter your life. They return.All Rights Reserved

Be My Escape [BoyxBoy] by ThatLonelyGirl

Michael and Liam are madly in love. Or so they think. How madly in love could you be when you've only just started talking? Liam has always been a helpful person. In fact, his self proclaimed job use to be helping people get with each other. But he was always the one to be left unhappy in the end. As Liam breaks away and starts to go into new and dangerous territory, will he be able to save his heart? Or will he give away the key to his heart too easily? Michael has a over sensitive body. And sometimes that makes it hard to separate feelings correctly. And with every string of boys, he only covers his dark pass even more. He thought everything was perfect, until Liam. Why is he trying to figure Michael out? And why is his touch so good? Lust drives them. Fighting makes them understand. Running makes them worry. And crying brings them closer. What were they thinking, to get involved with a silly thing called: L O V E. (A/N: This actually a little bit of a side story off of my other two books "I HATE YOU" and it's sequel "Hey, I STILL HATE YOU" and you are welcome to read that before this but it isn't necessary! Enjoy.)

If You Love Me by sunflowerboulevard

In the first second that I laid my eyes on you, everything that I have ever wanted out of life flashed right before my eyes. I could envision us going on picnics, stuffing our faces until we felt sick, holding hands until there was nothing but sweat between us, and introducing you to my parents in hopes that they would love you just an ounce of the way that I loved you. I could see us fighting over the remote only to end up not paying attention to the television program at all. And most of all, I could see you meaning something special to me- being that one consistent person in my life. But that second soon ended and I did not even know your name. Avery Davenport is an artist chaos. On the outside, a girl with her head in books, paint on her fingertips, and one foot in front of the other. On the inside, a girl with hate in her heart, regret in her veins, and self-loathing in her every system. Following a tragic turn of events, she begins to spiral. A tragic and fatal ending that she didn't have the answers to completely causes her to unravel. Pain slowly begins to be masked in the beds of the boys she meets, in her dark and quiet room, and subsequently on the ledge of her dorm room balcony. She didn't believe in hope or happy endings, never having conjured up one for herself or others, not until she met him. Dean Carter is all things remarkable. On the outside, a boy with ironed clothes, hair always perfected, and an ever dashing smile that could melt one's every sorrow. On the inside, a boy with cognizance in his brain, hope in his veins, and loneliness in his heart. Everything in his life has happened according to plan. His every happiness stems from medical books, sunsets, and seeing his loved ones smile. He has never been in love, never so much as thought about a girl beyond what left her lips, not until he met her. Please read the foreword for trigger warnings and disclaimers.

Adrian's Curse by Lyralines

Some boys break hearts. Adrian breaks everything. Adrian Hale was Eastwood High's reckless bad boy: fast motorcycle, sharper smirk, and a past no one dared to ask about. They called him cursed, because every girl who ever fell for him ended up broken. Maya Ellis wasn't supposed to notice him. She wanted to stay invisible, but Adrian noticed her and once their worlds collided, she couldn't ignore the shadows in his eyes. He pushed people away to protect them. She refused to be pushed. Maya had to decide: run before it destroyed her, or fight to break it-even if it meant losing everything.

Worse for Love- Book #3 in the WF Series by anyawritezzz

Love. A word that never made sense to Ivy Blanchard. Yes, she helps all of her friends with every relationship because she wants to see them happy, but she never really believed in the exaggerated picture of what "love" is. Trusting someone completely by opening up to them has never really amused her, and maybe that's because of what she went through as a little girl. When one day, she gets drunk and calls Kai Hale; one of her cousin's friends, to come and get her, it escalates into a fake relationship that neither of them expected. To convince her friend that she doesn't need help finding love, she decides to create a fake relationship with Kai. Although, the lie only begins to lead into other things that neither one of them realized or were prepared for. Kai is the exact opposite of Ivy. Smiling is second nature to him, and love is definitely something he's always believed in, he just doesn't have enough time for it with his complicated schedule. When Ivy and him begin getting close though, he realizes there definitely is something happening, but convincing Ivy that it's okay to let someone in is harder than he thought it would be. Will he actually get over the wall she's built since she could remember?

When we meet again by MissMini2001

What if the love you lost was the one meant to last forever? Ava Montgomery and Liam Carter were the couple everyone believed would make it. As high school sweethearts in a quiet New England town, their bond was undeniable-until Liam's sudden move overseas tore them apart. Ten years later, Ava has built a quiet, comfortable life in Boston. She's moved on-or so she thinks-until a chance encounter with Liam flips her world upside down. Older, wiser, and carrying the weight of years and unanswered questions, the two reconnect as friends. But friendship slowly begins to blur into something deeper. Over the course of four years, through missed chances, personal struggles, emotional detours, and the raw beauty of reconnection, Ava and Liam must face the truth: the past never really let them go. Now, they must decide if love deserves a second chance-or if some hearts are meant to remain broken.

When Love Finds Its Way Back by Cheesy_Beats

When Liam Carter returns to the small town he once called home, whispers stir and old memories resurface-especially for Ava Knight, the woman he left behind. Years have passed, but the spark between them never truly faded. Ava, now rooted in the life she rebuilt without him, is torn when Liam walks back into her world with that familiar smile and a heart full of apologies. But Liam didn't come back just for love. He's carrying secrets-ones that could shatter the fragile hope he's reigniting in Ava. As the truth comes to light, the pain is undeniable. Trust is broken, hearts are bruised, and Ava is left questioning everything she thought she knew about the man who once held her heart. Still, deep down, she sees the man he can be-the man she knows he wants to become. And maybe, just maybe, love deserves a second chance. A story of forgiveness, redemption, and the kind of love that refuses to give up-Even When It Hurts.

Somebody Wrote Me This Way by NotPenMystique

Enemies to lovers (possibly?) Addison has one rule: avoid the main characters. She's perfectly fine being the background extra in her own high school story - hoodie up, chocolate milk in hand, garlic bread as emotional support. No drama. No clichés. Definitely no "mysterious transfer student with tragic eyes" sitting next to her. But then Hikaru Nakamura shows up. And Avery - perfect hair, perfect laugh - joins the same class. And Jackson, the school's resident chaos magnet, suddenly notices her after one clumsy accident in the hallway. Now Addison's worst nightmare is happening: She's being dragged into a love triangle she never auditioned for. Armed only with sarcasm, self-awareness, and a strong refusal to participate in this rom-com nonsense... Addison might just have to survive being the unwilling heroine of a story she never wanted. All she's ever wanted is to be invisible.

Ava & Liam: What it means to stay by everiris

She noticed him before she knew why. He looked away before he could stop himself. Ava lives in the light, laughter, friends, curated smiles. Liam survives in the quiet, half-truths, shadows, and silence. They were never meant to meet beyond a classroom project. But some connections don't ask permission. They arrive slowly, like a song you weren't listening for until it breaks your heart. As secrets stir beneath the surface and feelings blur the line between friendship and something far more fragile, Ava begins to see through Liam's walls. And Liam, for the first time, wonders if someone like her could ever mean it. But the past doesn't let go easily. And the present doesn't wait. A story about the kind of love that changes you, quietly, completely, and maybe too soon.
