The Girl Who Stayed
She didn't leave because someone had to stay.
When the world crumbles around her, eighteen-year-old Helena is the last one standing. Left behind in a broken town with fractured memories and no one to depend on, she makes a choice: stay, survive, and fight for what little she still believes in.
Helena doesn't trust easily. She's had to build walls to protect what's left of her heart. But with danger closing in and the past refusing to stay buried, she must learn to navigate a world where strength isn't about fists it's about staying when everyone else runs.
In this gritty and emotionally charged survival story, Helena's voice is raw, real, and unforgettable. The Girl Who Stayed is a coming of age tale about resilience, loyalty, and the quiet power of choosing to stay behind not because it's easy, but because it matters.
For readers who crave tough heroines, visceral storytelling, and emotional depth.Helena's story will stay with you long after the final page.

Hello dear Readers,
Meet Alina and her family.
The story of love, care, romance and lots of suspense.. My Bad Boy Neighbour
Courtney Radford Chad has been my neighbour for as long as I can remember. We practically grew up together since our parents were the best of friends. Out side of school, he would tease me and inside of school, he'd ignore me. He was the most confusing but hottest guy I knew. No lie. He was gorgeous with his chocolate brown eyes and soft black hair. It was all too good to be true though. He seemed almost perfect, apart from the fact he is the baddest bad boy in our school. He was a major player and could get any girl whenever he wanted.
And me? I'm Lucy. I'm just an average girl, it's not like i have boys dropping at my feet but I do have a few boys who have liked me. Unlike most of the female population, I don't spend my time getting dressed up to impress Chad. Instead, I spend my time reading books, even writing them!
Any who, my life was completely fine until my bad boy neighbour started acting a little stranger than usual.

"Chad! Stop!" I shout, letting out an embarrassing squeal before I burst out laughing.
"No Lucy, I'm never going to stop" he says seriously, his eyes looking into mine.
I did a double take.
"W-What?" I choke out, looking up at him. My eyes were wide when I heard his next words.
"I'm never going to stop telling you because it's true" he says, his eyes were burning with so much sincerity and awe, it made me blush.
"I'm never going to stop telling you the truth"
