Underneath the Surface//B.E//G¡p X girl. by Billiesfavgirl093

When two girls as different as night and day cross paths, one a porcelain doll who hides her fractures behind a perfect facade, and the other a storm cloud, misunderstood yet full of untamed beauty, their worlds collide in ways neither could have foreseen. The doll, with her perfect grades, poised demeanor, and practiced smiles, carries a silent weight-cracks invisible to the world but sharp enough to cut herself. The storm, with her unapologetic chaos and defiance of norms, is labeled an outcast, her fierce independence masking a longing for someone to truly see her. As their lives intertwine, they begin to unravel each other's secrets. The doll finds solace in the storm's raw honesty, realizing she doesn't have to carry her pain in silence. The storm, in turn, discovers a strange comfort in the doll's careful attention, learning that vulnerability doesn't make her weak. Together, they begin to mend the broken pieces of their souls, finding strength in their differences and a shared understanding in their pain. It's in the quiet moments-whispered confessions at midnight, stolen glances in crowded rooms, and laughter that breaks through tears-that they realize they're not as opposite as the world thinks. They're two halves of the same truth: that even the most delicate porcelain and the fiercest storms can heal each other. --------- Billie Eilish fanfic G¡p X girl Enjoy.. :)

Begin Again (GirlxGirl) by ReesaBabz

Jessica took a deep breath and ran a hand through her long dark hair. "Alex do you even hear yourself right now? Dont you see she's trying to pull us apart?" I could see the frustration and tears building in her eyes. This isnt what i wanted. How did it all get so bad? "Jess i love you okay and believe me i wont ever let anything pull us apart. why wont you believe me when i say there's nothing going on?" "Because that's not the TRUTH!" She chuckled and ran a hand over her face. She stood up and grabbed her bag, "I dont think you realize it, but slowly we're drifting apart and that's exactly what she wants. So before i can give her the satisfaction; maybe we should just break it off." My eyes widened as she put on her shoes and left out the condo. I felt like my whole heart shrivelled and died right there. Its been 3 years and Alex and Jessica are back still happy with each other.... or so it seems. Everything is calm and their both carefree and enjoying their new lives. But what happens when a thing of the past comes to haunt them? Will their love be enough for them to find their way back to each other and Begin Again? Only one way to find out :)

She meets a fellow patient stuck in infidelity grief, which serves as a wake-up call for Claire. - Through therapy and introspection, Claire realizes that she cannot define herself by Greg's betrayal or the opinions of others.
