Everything Has Changed by paperandpen444

"If you asked me three months ago what heartbreak was, I would tell you it's losing somebody close to you due to unspeakable circumstances. But right now, in this moment, I would say it's you. I would say it's the feeling I got in my chest when I realized I was out of time. When I stood in the rain and yelled for you to stay, but all I saw was your back. I would say heartbreak is lying in bed at two in the morning, watching my ceiling fan go around and around, wondering why you couldn't stop to listen. Two seconds. All I needed was two seconds to say the words. All I needed was to seconds for me to tell you I was in love with you. With everything about you. With the way you move, and the feeling of your arms around me. With the feeling of your chest vibrating as you laugh. Heartbreak is falling in love with everything about you, but having the words permanently stuck in my throat." _____ Gracelyn Levinsky grew up with Daniel Grey. She has always looked to him as a brother, but when she escapes from her abusive Mom and moves to the same town Danny moved to when he was ten, she finds out that he's in love with her. After countless attempts to get her to feel the same, Danny gives up. But when Grace realizes just how much she does love Danny, words can't help her because he shut her out of his life completely.

The Inceptive Flame⎪✓ by IAmEmmaHey

"Do they not say that a good friendship builds on a ground of lies?" I joke, lightening the mood immediately as his green eyes glint in humor and a smirk falls on his familiar lips. "Do you kiss a lot of your friends, love?" The underlying tones threaten to provoke a blush on my cheeks, but I get myself together. Smirking at him, "Well, of course, is that not the norm?" *********** Dakota Moore is the perfect example of a beautiful disaster. Her wisdom is ready to knock anyone down, her self worth is an exact replica of the way her father raised her, and her pain so intense it screams over every building. She refuses to show anyone what's going on behind closed doors, especially when her lovely father gets the traumatic news that he has an incurable disease. Elijah Black is the spur of the moment kind of guy, he's the one no one ever settles with because of his angry outbursts and rude ways. Even though he throws everyone off, except for when they want sexual advances, he still can't help but feel enthralled by the freckled girl who's hiding so many secrets behind a fake smile. As they clash and try to reject the obvious rush, will they accept their attraction, or is everything just too much? After all, how can two ruined teenagers manage a youthful love without destroying themselves in the process?

The kindred heart:Love after trauma by astraythepen

In a world where words can heal and images can capture the truth, two lost souls collide in an unlikely encounter. Kenney, a young poet whose heart has been shattered by the weight of unrequited love, spends his days pouring his emotions into verses that no one hears. His words are both his refuge and his prison, a fragile connection to a world that once promised him hope but left him broken. Love has betrayed him, and now, all he knows is the quiet pain of longing and the impossible task of mending his heart through poetry. Quinn, a talented photographer, has a sharp eye for beauty-but it's the dark side of humanity she captures. She's spent years hiding from the lustful gazes of men, the raw desire in their eyes making her skin crawl. To her, love seems tainted by obsession, and she's sworn to protect herself from its destructive forces. But in her lens, she sees the raw truth of people's souls-without the masks they wear for the world. When their paths cross, a connection forms that neither expected. For Kenney, Quinn becomes the sunlight he never knew he needed, a force that slowly uncovers the dark corners of his world. Her quiet strength and unspoken understanding illuminate his poetry, allowing him to see the beauty in his own pain again. In Quinn's presence, he feels a glimmer of hope-a light that chases away the shadows of his broken heart. Together, they navigate their wounds-one through his delicate poetry, the other through her evocative photographs-searching for healing in the aftermath of pain. But love, once lost, is never easy to reclaim, and in their fragile bond, the line between healing and hurting becomes more blurred with every shared moment. "The Kindred Heart" is a poignant exploration of the scars that love leaves behind, the courage it takes to trust again, and the healing that only comes when you dare to see someone for who they truly are.

His Sunshine | ✓ by pink_flamingo_09

She looks up at me, taking a step forward and smiling slightly, "How can I ever get hurt when I have you here to protect me?" "But you could have gotten hurt," I murmur softly, hanging my head and feeling my shoulders drop, the tension seeping from my body. "No. Stop," She cuts me off sternly but tenderly, "Don't talk like that, Reece. I'm okay, you're okay, we're okay," She speaks softly, reaching her hand up to gently brush her thumb over my cheek, just under the cut that's there. "We're okay," I repeat, taking a small step closer to her. She nods with a small smile, moving her hand down from my cheek and instead placing the palm of her hand on my chest, right over my heart. I know she can feel how fast my heart is beating. I just don't know why it's doing that. ~ Reece Carter is the bad boy of Northwood High. He smokes and he fights. He has countless tattoos covering his body. And he doesn't care about anything or anyone else.

And he protected her from everyone who tried to hurt His Sunshine. Get ready for a story filled with bad pick-up lines, twin telepathy and a lot of fighting. Like, a LOT. Thanks for that one, Reece.
