Never Stopped Smiling

To fall in love is to be selfish..i wish it was any

different...

t's always great to have someone that can never forget

you..but having someone you can never forget is a

curse..The hypocrisy of love..

This story was inspired by a short story by the same

name from the author of Advent of three calamities....

enjoyed that short story and thought it was a shame

the author never thought of expanding it

NEVER STOPPED SMILING

by [TH4TW31RD0]

David has spent most of his life feeling like he's

unraveling. With each doctor's visit and every sleepless

night, his world shrinks around him, the possibilities

narrowing until he feels like a shadow-always watching

from the sidelines. He believes he's destined to

disappear unnoticed, until he crosses paths with

Amelia, a quiet, enigmatic girl who hides her own pain

beneath layers of silence and distance

In the world of a high school drama class, they're

assigned as scene partners, and an unlikely connection

begins to grow. Through shared rehearsals, hidden

glances, and late-night conversations, David and

Amelia discover a sanctuary in each other, a place

where they can finally let their masks slip. From

abandoned greenhouses to whispered monologues,

they piece together a fragile hope, one that neither of

them dared believe they deserved

But as they learn to lean on each other, they're forced

to confront the weight of the past and the fear of ar

uncertain future. In a world that expects them to

perform a version of themselves that feels false, David

and Amelia must decide if they have the courage to live

-and love-in the truth of who they really are

Never stopped smiling is a hauntingly tender story

about finding hope in unexpected places, facing thebeauty and chaos of life, and discovering that

sometimes, the best parts of ourselves are hidden in

the quietest spaces
