"Panic attacks, stress disorders, and anxiety. What's not love?" I reply.
Spencer Evans is broken. Though people don't realize it because she doesn't look it, she's broken. Almost completely. Now she's going to pull herself back together. To keep people believing that she's perfectly fine. Inside and out.

Fair Warning: this story was originally written for an English class and it just went on from there. Some of the writing may not be the best, because it is unedited and was originally written back in 2015-16 so.. yeah. Also, it may have some swearing.

A guarded college quarterback's dark past resurfaces when classmate Elena Madison pierces his cold exterior, sparking a dangerous connection that could either redeem or destroy them both. *** Everyone at Ohio State University knows about Blake Andrews, the infamous all-star quarterback of the football team and rumored insomniac.

Undeniable attraction radiates between the two clashing souls and he begins to wonder if she can save him from the darkness within him.

The Bestfriends
"She was broken by vows-he healed her with silence. Sometimes, love doesn't arrive late... it simply waits its turn. From best friends to soulmates-when the heart finally sees what's always been there." There was once a girl who believed in forever, until her forever turned cruel behind closed doors. Astrid gave her vows to Adolf, a man whose love was a storm with no calm, whose hands never held, whose words only wounded. She stayed, at first, for hope. Then, for fear. Then, for nothing at all. But even in her silence, Someone heard her heart breaking. Tyron-her best friend, her quiet witness. The boy who knew her laugh before the world dimmed it. The man who stood by her shadow, offering light without asking for anything in return. Years passed. Hearts weathered. And when her cage was finally broken, She turned-and there he was. Not waiting. Just... there. As he always was. This is not just a story of love, But of rescue without rescue. Of friendship that grew roots beneath pain. Of two souls learning that sometimes, The greatest love stories are born from the quietest beginnings. ************************************************************************************************** 01302023Monday1246pm edited04232025 ************************************************************************************************** Disclaimer: This story is the author's fruit of imagination...
