Calliope, a seventeen year old girl, was a normal kid living with a single mother since she was six years old. Her father left them for another woman according to her mother, but the sadness and fear that showed in her mother's eyes as she said this made Calliope think twice. 

What if he had reasons to leave? What if it was important for the family or possibly even more than the family?

After a terrible disaster that happened during her bestfriend's birthday, she received a call from the academy her father studied in during his teen days offering her a home, food, and education which she absolutely needed after losing everything. 

They said they would give her answers and eventually help her control the powers she never thought she had, but after venturing inside a world she thought would only be in books, she later realized she could trust no one, not even herself.

She had to face everyone if she wanted to know the truth behind the disappearance of her dad and the death of her mom and bestfriend. 

If you're surrounded by darkness, you'll be attracted to any sliver of light, right? But what if that sliver of light is her voice which she absolutely hated since it had the potential to save the world she loved or destroy it.

An internal voice whispered, "Call him." But I chose not to. I dismissed it once more, saying, "He never liked me anyway." Yet the dilemma lingered. "But maybe he does. The way he looks at you... it's different." Out of nowhere, he glanced my way. My heartbeat quickened, sending shivers down my spine. I averted my gaze, pretending to look around. "Has he noticed me? No, wait-oh my god." --- After switching high schools, Nina discovered a new way of life. She fell in love, made wonderful friends, and everything seemed perfect. But Ethan-a popular boy who never focused on anyone but her-was the object of her hatred. He was always there, always keeping her safe. He used to annoy her endlessly. She hated him deeply. Until she didn't. For a while, she was content with her high school experience. That is, until something mysterious turned her world upside down. Forced to move to a new city, Nina had to cut ties with everyone she once knew. Eight years later, fate brings her face-to-face with him again. "Ethan..." He's the key to everything-the truths she never knew. When she was lost in the dark, he always held the light. But now, things are different. She despises him. He's colder than ever. Or perhaps she fears him. Fears that he'll leave her again. Will their lives ever return to normal after everything they've endured? "Maybe?" "Maybe yes. Maybe no?" --- Started: 8 November 2021 Ended: 19 December 2022 Rewritten: December 2024 --- ### Rankings Goals So Far: #1 Adolescente #1 given up #1 blinddates #1 pretend #10 twistedromance #50 high school romance --- ### Notice: This is my first published story, and it contains numerous grammatical errors and bad editing.

Death Wish

44 parts Complete Mature

Linnea has been wanting to die ever since her family was in a car crash. She was the only survivor and she's been riddled with guilt since that day because she was driving the car. Her guardian, Thibault, has been telling her how worthless she is and how she'll never be wanted ever since he had to take her under his wing. She started to believe it, so she hardened her heart. She's terrified that someone will leave her because they don't want her. She doesn't let anyone see her real emotions and doesn't let anyone in her heart. Then along comes Lorenzo. He tears down her walls and helps her from Thibault, but she's scared he'll leave her. So she pushes him away, not knowing that their lives are so much more connected than she thought. A/N-I marked this as mature because there are some pretty graphic scenes and it deals with self-harm/suicide.
