@blushingem Well I read yours and Roller coaster romance. Both were beautiful stories honestly. I see the similarities, homelessness, death of both parents and they find a guy that ends up saving them. But hey, every single story out there has been written before, it's the writer that makes it unique because of the details they incorporate. My stories have been written before, yours, and any other author out there. I've actually written something like that too, Learning to breathe is about a girl who cuts herself and has an alcoholic parent and is saved by a boy. Sure auden, the plot may be the same, but details are different and that's what makes a story. You have your own twist on it, she has her own twist on it. I think everyone should just take a breather and let it go. I didn't read her other one but Lucas is a common name and I've used it too! lol I actually got it from the mexican candy called Lucas. But yes, there are similarities but I don't think it was copied word per word for sure. So I think you're okay, from what i read you didn't plagiarize .
