[[ IN PROGRESS ]] Cover Art: @littlemissgemini224 She did such an amazing job with it! Give her a follow! [[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[TEASER]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]] "You love her...and yet-" "I know," he said quickly. "You don't have to remind me, son. I know what she did." "So then how can you say that? How can you love someone who doesn't want anything to do with us?" I felt my hands slowly clenched into fists as I spoke. "You told me yourself she couldn't handle the struggles we faced. Why would you love someone who doesn't want to acknowledge you?" Regardless of my subtle outburst in a public restaurant, he remained calm and looked at me with reassurance. "Because love means accepting their flaws, imperfections, and ideals in the factor of life itself. No matter how much they change their minds, how much they flip their switch, or say they want nothing to do with you, they taught you how to love for that little period that they were with you. In a way, it's a matter of being grateful someone noticed you in a crowd of six billion people. You can't hate them for that little part they gave you. That little chapter. Love is...never having to second-guess where you stand with someone." It took me some time to understand what he was saying, but it only tied me back to someone I'd been misunderstanding for quite a while. My one person in a world of six billion. "That's what love means?" I asked. He nodded. "That's my perspective of it." For once, I felt I learned something from him, and it wasn't about how long it took to properly smoke a whole pack of cigarettes or how to create a small fort made out of beer cans. For once, I learned a life lesson. ******Awards Won****** 04/11/2020- 1st place Teen Fic Entry (The Cherry Blossom Awards 2020) 06/14/2020 - 3rd place Teen Fic/Chick-lit entrant (The Perdurable Awards)

Lavender

Lavender Quinn has always struggled with her mental health but somehow managed to always stay at the top of her class... until her senior year. Everyday seems like something new to her, how much more stress could she possibly take? She can't stand her academic rival, Elijah Rivera. She's had about enough of him and in somehow someway this year just keeps bringing them closer together. Group projects, field trips, Paris, debate tournaments, what else? She notices what's going on between them but she can't let him in, she refuses. How can she love him if she doesn't even love herself? She doesn't want to burden him with all her "issues." She has enough going on for crying out loud. ...But what if Elijah convinces her to try? *** Lavender brings her hands down my chest, lightly tracing over the fabric of my shirt. She opens her mouth but hesitates for a moment. "I like how you make me feel safe with you." I don't expect that coming out of her mouth and I actually stop my ministrations to look at her. "Safe?" She nods. "Yes, safe. I think I understand that you'd never purposely hurt me." I let my eyes roam her face, admiring her features closely. "Never. Not in this lifetime. Not in any lifetime." Her hand touches my cheek and she nods just barely. "You don't make me feel like I have to watch my back." I smile softly and lean into her touch. "Good, because I'm not going anywhere." Her smile fades. "Don't say that if you don't mean it." My fingers play with her hair. "I do mean it. Lavender, I will be by your side for as long as you will let me. And even if you don't, I will still be there from afar, waiting for when you do." *** ~ To everyone who feels like they're not deserving of love. started november 10th, 2022 ended ??? *** RANKINGS: 9/21/24 • #2 IN FRENEMIES 3/27/25 • #3 IN LAVENDER 7/07/26 • #2 IN TEENROMANCE 8/13/26 • #2 IN PARIS
