How would you react if you were told to leave the place where you'd spent your entire childhood, in just one night, without a chance to say goodbye? How would you feel if you were asked to cut all ties with your friends overnight, as if memories could be erased that easily? How would you cope with being told to start over in an unfamiliar city, to make new friends while burying the laughter and love of your birthplace? And what would you do if, just when you found love again, the ghosts of your past collided with the quiet comfort of your present, turning everything into chaos? Because all of this, every heartbreak, every silent scream, every attempt to rebuild, was faced by 𝐡𝐞𝐫. The girl who learned to smile even when the ground beneath her kept shifting. 𝐄𝐤𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐤𝐚, the girl who walked away without goodbye, carries guilt behind quiet smiles and holds pieces of every friendship in her heart. She leaves her old life behind, only to find comfort, laughter, and new bonds in a city that feels like home. 𝐘𝐮𝐠, the boy who's full of life, infectiously cheerful and fearless, brings color and warmth into her world, making every moment brighter. As new friendships blossom and romance sparks, fate brings Ekantika face to face with the past she tried to leave behind, old friends, unfinished confessions, and memories that refuse to fade. Some ties break, some heal, and some become the love story neither of them expected. To see how friendships are reforged, hearts are mended, and love finds its way, dive into the story of 𝐄𝐤𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐤𝐚 and 𝐘𝐮𝐠, and feel every thread that weaves them together.

Tomorrow's Blues by fadedxfires

~"You don't- you don't need me." I stared in shock. This was the first shred of emotion he'd shown since he started avoiding me, and I had no idea how to respond. What was I supposed to say to something like that? So I let myself be honest, and I told him exactly how I felt. "But I do." I almost choked on my words. "I do need you. I can't talk to anybody else. I can't eat. I can't sleep. And I know you know what that's like."~ Liliana is now an orphan. Just 17 years old, she lost her parents in a boating accident and now she must live with her best friend, her best friend's parents and her best friend's brother, Joseph. She struggles through her grief as well as dealing with the mysterious but obnoxious Joseph, and it soon comes to light that he isn't the only one around her keeping secrets. Living under the same roof, tensions arise, and Liliana begins to discover that a perfect family may not be so perfect after all."
