Every morning, Lorraine Davis' alarm rang by 10 a.m, and every morning she hit the snooze button. But today was different. The alarm clock buzzed at 12:15 p.m., signalling a break from her routine. Lorraine, however, continued her pattern and snoozed it for the fourth time. Today marked the first month since her heart-wrenching breakup with Shawn, but still, she found it hard to accept the realities of her failed engagement. Despite the countless romance novels and movies she had watched, nothing could have prepared her for her first heartbreak.

Grandma's voice was trembling as she bellowed, "Linda Mills! Ash is your son, too!" Mom wanted to say something, but Grandma cut her off, saying, "I know Eli has a tragic fate, born with that cursed countdown.

No hiding.” A producer clapped loudly from the side. “Places everyone. Countdown in five minutes. The audience is already chanting your names. This is rated gold. Make it unforgettable.” I grabbed Nate’s sleeve. “Tell me this kiss means nothing. Tell me my heart is lying when it races every time you look at me like you want to devour me.” He caught my elbow and pulled me closer. “Your heart isn’t lying. Mine isn’t either. But we can’t let this get real. Not with the whole world watching.”

Contrary to everything that happened in school earlier, my disappointment with Theo, Kendall’s threat and Leo and Lea’s … well, those two are just plain weird, I wasn’t in the mood to listen to something dark, so I pulled up my Harry Styles playlist and tapped play. Look, don’t call me cheesy. I love Harry Styles, and if you find that weird, then so be it.

"Seeing her in your office was like a sudden wake-up call for me. It was a reminder of how huge the distance is between your world and my world. You live surrounded by people who have endless wealth, people who play social games, people who treat relationships like business deals, and people who throw others away when they get bored or find something better."

I was lied to, cheated on, and left with nothing by someone I gave my entire heart to. I worked so hard for years to rebuild my life, my self-respect, and my peace of mind after I was broken. I cannot go through that pain a

How do you explain to someone that the person who swore to protect your heart, was the one who stomped on it without a second thought? My first heartbreak wasn't loud. It didn't come with slammed doors or broken glass. It came with silence. And a tear I didn't let him see.

However, it had gone cold. As I didn't have the strength to hold the cup steady, it hit the floor and shattered into pieces. Just then, my phone buzzed nonstop with messages from the work group chat.
