For My Own Good
-------------------- I gasp for air, twisting in his hold. My heart beats in my chest, between my legs. Urging to get off. But Henry pulls away from me, carefully studying my face. "You look so pretty, all worked up because of me." I feel heat flushing through me, making my hips twitch again. -------------------- For My Own Good Olivia Kent has always been good at running - from her broken home, suffocating memories, and emotions too raw to face. She keeps everyone at a careful distance, hiding the full extent of her pain - even from her best friend Carla. But when Olivia catches golden boy Charlie Bell in a vulnerable moment, it pulls her into an unfamiliar circle of friends who begin to break through her defenses. Then there's Henry, with his piercing grey eyes that see far more than Olivia wants to reveal. She feels immediately and undeniably drawn to him, but opening her heart only makes her realize how tightly she's trapped by the past she's been running from. As her world unravels, Olivia is faced with a difficult decision: stay trapped by fear and guilt, or risk everything for a chance at something better. Sometimes, love isn't enough to save you. Sometimes, it's up to you to find the strength to save yourself. For your own good.

Fading Blue
Do you love the rain?" he asked after a pause. Luna hesitated, looking out at the falling droplets. "Not really. It makes me blue," she admitted, her tone a little lighter than her words might've suggested. Ashen blinked, surprised by the answer. "But... you seem like you're kind of enjoying it." Luna's lips curled into a tiny smile. "Yeah, I'm enjoying feeling blue." . . . Before Ashen could reply, Ethan's gaze drifted outside. Across the street, a young girl held her little brother's hand, a pair of bright balloons bobbing above their heads as they splashed through puddles. Ethan's smile faded, his eyes distant, clouded with something unspoken. Ashen noticed the shift-the way Ethan's hand froze mid-spin on his cup, the slight tension in his jaw. But instead of prying, he leaned back and said lightly, "You want one of those balloons too, huh?" Ethan blinked, then snorted softly. "Yeah. The red one." . . . Three college students, each carrying their own burdens of loss and unspoken grief. They don't know it yet, but their lives are about to collide. As they struggle to fight their demons, they'll find comfort in each other's pain. But will they find healing-or will the shadows of their pasts pull them apart? This is a story about finding strength in brokenness, healing through connection, and the journey of learning how to live again.
