"You shouldn't need to drink to try and drown your feelings Kayla. I've watched the people around me do this all my life and it doesn't fix anything." "I know it won't fix anything, but for right now it helps me forget" "You can't keep running away or hiding. In the end it all catches up." "You sound like you've been through this before." "I guess you could say that." "You want me to open up to you, but are you ever going to open up to me? I want to get to know you Tyler, but you are so closed off. You know why I got knocked over by that wave? Because I was watching you, I was watching your face and seeing how free you felt riding that wave. It's the only time I've ever seen you let go. You know that someone hurt me, but I think you have been hurt too. When you're ready to talk, I'll be waiting. Maybe we can help each other." "Maybe I'm not worth getting to know" he replied. "And maybe I'm not worth you trying to save me either. Or maybe I am" With that I got up and left him to think about what I said. I put my cards on the table, now it was up to him to make the next move. ******** A year ago, Kayla had it all, doting parents and a relationship with her older brother that others envied. By the end of junior year that changed, she's left broken after a series of events in her life, but she is determined to hide her pain from her friends and enjoy the summer. That is until she meets Tyler, who can see right through the hurt. He has his own secrets though and isn't ready to let anyone in. Together they will either fall apart or fall together.

Boundless Love by dreaming40

Discovering inner strength and true love after an unexpected life changing event #1 in paralyzed on 😊 #1 in Wheelchair #1 in Crippled #1 in Deserving #2 in Uplifting The thing about falling is... you never know when you'll hit rock bottom. For rising British actor Levi Dawson, one mistake-one fateful accident-shatters everything he's ever known. Overnight, his glittering life of fame, fortune, and a stunning fiancée crumbles. Broken and defeated, Levi leaves London for Boston to begin rehabilitation. But learning to navigate life from a wheelchair is harder than he ever imagined. Haunted by anxiety and depression, Levi feels like a shadow of the man he used to be-until a chance encounter changes everything. She's beautiful, selfless, and unshakably kind, with eyes that see straight through his pain. She becomes his lifeline-the one person who makes him believe he's still worth saving. But she, too, is hiding her own cracks, and Levi may be the piece she never knew she was missing. Can two broken souls heal each other? Or will the weight of their scars be too much to overcome?

Between Our Lines by stephanie_eleanor

When grief turns your life upside down and your mum forces you to the other side of the world, with a new world to explore and a cute art teacher to match, there is more than enough story material flowing into Victoria's life, but sadly, it isn't always a work of fiction. Life is just as painful as what you read in books. a teacher-student story.

The Sister Of Popular by jaxehh

"Why can't I be popular and have friends?" Levi and Lexi are twins. They are closer than close. They've always stuck together and been best friends. They've always told each other everything. After years of homeschooling, they're to join the local comprehensive, Dowerling, for Year 10. While Levi moves straight into the popular crowd with girls swooning at his feet, Lexi totally messes up in front of them and is officially a loner. Somehow, Lexi discovers another side to Levi. One that doesn't care at all for her. One that has no time for her. The new Levi who hates Lexi. Desperate to get her brother back, and desperate to get a social life, Lexi is fixated to an amazing website: How To Get A Life - The forum website for all the people who are struggling with making friends and being a social butterfly, with tips and chats from other users. Join Lexi in this tale of popularity, friendship, emotions, love and discovery of the real world. WARNING: may be slightly triggering in some chapters (tw: self-harm, sucicide, depression etc.) (a/n: it's been three years since I wrote this story but thank you so much to all the supporters over the years. this is a cringey mess but it's also one of the things that is very dear to my heart and this should be staying up for the foreseeable future, even though I wrote this when I was 12 and I can barely look at it. thank you so much for reading <3)

Discovering Mack by prettiestoflies

"Not screwing as in ongoing. It was a one time... or two time thing," I cringe at how slutty that makes me sound. "I was a little drunk... the second time. Whatever, the details aren't important because it's not going to happen again." "Twice? Honestly Mack, I thought you were better than to fall for his shit. I've watched him churn through women, fuck em and dump em. I know he's my boss but he isn't a good guy! And you work with him too! Scarlett was one thing, but now he's got you both in his bed!" Note to self, don't tell Tristan that neither time was in a bed and we only had sex once. You know what, let's just keep the details to the bare minimum, he can fill in whatever blanks he wants to. **** Mackenzie has been living a life for everyone else, mainly her long term high school boyfriend. She doesn't seem to know who she is anymore, what she wants, or how to stand up for herself. When she starts a new job she never expected to meet people like Tristan, Scarlett and Alex. People who changed her life, encouraged her to be herself and chase her own dreams. These friendships help to heal her heart, but could they turn to something more?

I Loved You Blindly [Complete] by Water_Lili

'Accidents happen'. That's what people say. Yet, some accidents take away from us more than others. Ethan had it all. Everything was lined up in front of him. Popularity, looks, friends, a hot girlfriend and a promised future in football. In one incident that resulted in a horrible accident, he lost it all. The best friend, the girlfriend, the planned future and his sight. Fighting through darkness and depression, he built high walls that kept everyone out. Skye suffered loss too, but she kept strong for the sake of her little brother, Matt. With her aunt and brother, leaving home and moving to a new place seemed like the perfect solution. A new start that they all needed. Skye's plan was to blend in and keep to herself. Well, not the easiest task when it was obvious as daylight that you were the new girl at school. Especially when she, literally, bumped into Ethan. For Ethan who has been isolating himself and absolutely independent that he pushed everyone away, and Skye being stubborn and not in-the-least shy on saying what she thought openly, fighting and bickering was unpreventable. Skye saw through the walls that Ethan has built around himself. Drawn to him, slowly, their friendship started to turn into something else.
