And in the end, we were all just humans, drunk on the idea that love, only love, could heal our brokenness – Christopher Pointdexter
Blurb:
‘She looked sad, in a sort of space that wasn't her own. And I wanted to go and sit next to her, but there was the whole thing with social differences and her being cool and gorgeous and me being me and so I didn't.
I just sat and stared at her from afar, like I had been doing ever since I was young. She didn't notice. She never noticed. In between the various worlds she drifted off to and the balancing of her popularity upkeep, there was no space for me.
There never was, and there never will be.’
If you got a phone call from the most beautiful girl at school, who you also happened to be in love with, you’d do anything to make it a regular occurrence- right?
That’s what Cedric thinks anyway. At least, until he realises that maybe Lyra Daniels isn’t the girl he’s envisioned her to be, and maybe she’s asking just a little too much.
After all, people, the really good ones, are destinations; a city of bones for the lonely to spill their secrets into.
And if Lyra needs a confident, he sure as hell wouldn’t mind being hers.

Somewhere Between Us
"Loving you is exhausting and hard. Give me a freaking break." he said. "Then why are you still here?", she whispered with a pale and trembling voice, holding back the tears that were willing to fall down her cheeks. Laura never wanted to fall in love with someone she couldn't touch - someone who only existed behind a screen, a voice borne by time zones and poor connections. But Evan made distance seem hazardous. He made every silence burn. "You could've stopped talking to me." she said to him once. "I tried," he said. "You just wouldn't leave my fucking head." Somewhere in between their late-night phone calls and the words they never spoke, something real started to take shape - delicate, wrong, and beautiful. But love such as theirs was going to shatter. It was constructed on waiting, on jealousy, on all the things they couldn't have. And maybe that's the cruelest kind of love - the kind that feels infinite, but ends the moment you wake up. Until Aiden walked in - the man who was real, present, and everything Evan couldn't be. Aman who had actually been beside her even when she broke his heart, even when she drifted away to chase someone who made her heart ache in ways she never imagined. "He doesn't deserve you. please wake up Lau." Aiden told her. "Then why does it still feel like he's the one?" she whispered. "You're crazy." Somewhere between what she wanted and what she needed, Laura lost control. Between time zones and heartbreak, between messages and memories, something between them had shattered. Because sometimes, love doesn't ask you to choose between two people - it asks you to choose which part of yourself you're willing to destroy.
Touchdowns and Tenderness
Luca "The Tank" Davis is a star player on the Bayview University football team, a powerful force on the field, and a guy who seems to have it all. He's got the looks, the fame, the skill, and a reputation that precedes him. Off the field, he's known for his cold, distant demeanor, and it's not hard to see why he's learned the hard way that people only want to be around him for what he can do for them. He trusts no one. But everything starts to change when he meets Isla Matthews. Isla is a quiet, invisible figure on campus who's hiding from her past. She's the girl who walks around in oversized sweaters, sits alone in the back of every lecture, and is determined to stay unnoticed. She's carrying emotional scars, and she doesn't want anyone to know. She's also never cared about football-until one day, she accidentally bumps into Luca in a library study room. They don't talk much at first, but something about Isla's sadness and Luca's bitterness intrigues the other. He can see there's more to her than she lets on. She's not chasing his fame or fortune, and that's different from every other person in his life. As their paths cross more and more-during long study sessions, group projects, and unexpected moments-they find that their pain and struggles mirror each other in unexpected ways. But while Luca's life is splashed all over social media and the front page of the campus paper, Isla remains a shadow, a quiet girl with a broken heart. The story is about them finding each other when everything around them is falling apart. It's a romance built on trust, healing, and the realization that the loudest people don't always have the deepest pain, and the quietest people aren't always the weakest.Complete
