"It's a gray, gray world, Richards, with gray people and gray skies, and sheets of gray rain that fall from the sky."
"Well then, Jackson, it's a good thing I brought my fluorescent pink umbrella."
~•~
Abigail Jackson is a high school senior who's only dream is to get out of her small town, where so many things have gone wrong.
Unknown to her, Dustin Richards is living her same hell. Fighting the same battle.
Losing the same war.
When the two figure more about themselves and each other, it becomes apparent that everyone deals with sadness in their own way. Some become overwhelmingly optimistic, some make jokes to hide their pain, and some hide their tears in the gray rain.
And some just find comfort in apathy.

❝We shouldn't try to figure out every single thing in the world. Why does this happen, how does it happen? Why can't we just be content with being? Instead, the way our eye perceives color is explained, and how Earth was first formed, and everything. We fill ourselves with knowledge so much that something has to be emptied in order to make room for knowledge. So, our soul is poured out. Our appreciation for natural things are gone, thrown away. Our thirst for knowledge overcomes us. The world is a perplexity, let it stay like that. It's more beautiful that way.❞ We were made to live, not to observe. Marley Aspen knows first-hand what it's like to just get by, but to live, that's far out of her reach. Well, that is until befriending the new-girl, Sierra Ryder, shows her how to. But in unexpected twists and turns, Marley learns there is always more underneath the surface, and she gets more than she bargained for. Cover by: @leena-jConcluída

THE DRENCHED CONFESSION
On a rainy afternoon, two friends seek shelter together, their clothes drenched from the storm. As they dry off, unspoken tension builds between them. The protagonist finds themselves drawn to the other's beauty, their heart racing with emotions they never acknowledged before. A simple moment-brushing hair, a lingering touch-leads to a kiss, then something deeper, something intimate and electric. Their bodies speak in ways words never could, lost in the warmth of each other. But when the rain stops, so does the illusion. The moment shatters when one pulls away, apologizing-revealing that, despite everything they shared, they don't see the protagonist that way. Left alone, heartbroken, the protagonist is left to wrestle with the contradiction of feeling everything just moments before, only to lose it all in the silence that follows.Concluída
Bad state
Y/n has always carried their battles in silence, convincing themselves that the weight of their thoughts is theirs alone to bear. On the surface, the world moves on-rain falls, days pass, people laugh-but inside, Y/n feels stuck in a storm they can't escape. Then comes Natasha: patient, steady, and unexpectedly kind. She doesn't push. She doesn't demand answers. Instead, she offers quiet company, gentle reminders that love doesn't have to be loud to be powerful, and that healing can begin in the smallest of moments. As Y/n learns to let someone in, their connection with Natasha grows-slowly, tenderly, and honestly. But trusting love while navigating the shadows of mental health isn't easy. Together, they must discover what it means to build something real-piece by piece, heart by heart. A slow-burn romance about vulnerability, healing, and the kind of love that stays through the rain.
Not the Only One
"I'm not perfect. If you know my life story it would change your mind," I admit, looking down. Yes, I hate my past and yes, I'm most definitely not perfect. I untangle myself from Dante and get off the bed, turning to look at them all. "I need to go back to my hotel room to change." The response is instantaneous. All men frown and begin to protest. "You're staying here, sweetheart-" "Don't do this, love-" "Babygirl, stay with us-" I'm sure they don't all love me that much. It's probably a short-term love, temporary. I'm certain in a few months time they won't love me or want me to stay with them. "I'd love to stay but-" I begin to say before they all interrupt me. "Then that's final-" "You can stay-" "Please stay-" "I don't have clothes here," I state the obvious. "Wear ours!" they all exclaim at once. * * * * * * * Lexi has moved countries to escape her past and start a new life.
