The Unexpected
Tyler and Mia have been best friends since elementary school. They've been through a lot together, including giving each other their first kiss and Mia losing her virginity to him. That night changes everything and Mia finds herself struggling to maintain their friendship. She tries to move on but Tyler is always there. He doesn't want to be with her but he doesn't want anyone else to be either. Throughout her struggle, Mia learns more about herself and meets many new people. But will any of that matter if she loses her best friend? "What is wrong with you?" Mia asks in disbelief. Tyler sighs, crossing his arms over his chest. "I don't do relationships. You know that," he replies, shrugging slightly. Mia contemplates what to do. She has two choices: 1.) Walk away and never look back, meaning she'd lose him. Or 2.) Forget anything ever happened and allow him to continue walking all over her, meaning she wouldn't lose him. Either way, she'd be the one getting hurt. "Then I don't 'do' this friendship anymore. Goodbye, Tyler." {The first 5 chapters are published on Wattpad as a preview. The story is 100% complete & published on another platform (more info in my bio).

The Girl Who Walked Away
Prologue In the world of college life, words are often thrown around like confetti-light, colorful, and sometimes lacking substance. They say things to fill the silence, to create connections, and to express feelings that often remain hidden beneath the surface. But what happens when those words fall flat? When the promises made in fleeting moments fade into echoes of unfulfilled intentions? This is a story about the complexities of communication and the silent battles fought within relationships. It began with a simple smile exchanged in the midst of chaos during National Pharmacy Week-a moment that seemed inconsequential yet held the weight of possibilities. She found herself drawn to him, captivated by the way he spoke, the way he made her feel. But as she discovered, words alone would not be enough to bridge the gap between us. As their paths intertwined, we danced around each other in a series of unsaid feelings, lingering glances, and an unspoken connection that left her yearning for more. But with every promise unkept, the reality became clearer: words are just that-words. They mean little without the actions to back them up. This is the story of Elle's journey through that realization, a tale of fleeting moments, unfulfilled expectations, and ultimately, the power of choosing clarity over confusion. It's about learning that love is not just spoken; it's demonstrated. And in the end, it was a lesson that would change everything she thought she knew about relationships and herself.Complete
Everything that happened since September
Aude has a plan. Sort of. Survive business school, be more mature, keep things casual with the boy she's definitely not in love with, and absolutely, under no circumstances, fall for the arrogant finance guy she interned with in Greece. Easy. Except her year in Nantes has other ideas: There are too many parties she doesn't remember agreeing to, suspiciously flirty chats, and way too many moments that feel like coupledom, but aren't. Not officially. As friendships shift and feelings get messy, Aude finds herself growing up in ways she never planned, and realizing that the people who change us the most aren't always the ones who stay. Sharp, funny, and quietly devastating, this is a story about love, timing, and the chaos of becoming who you are, one awkward text at a time. - - - - - - - - Cover found on Pinterest TWS : Talks about mental health Songs and lyrics go to their rightful ownersComplete
