{𝘉𝘖𝘖𝘒 𝘛𝘏𝘙𝘌𝘌 𝘖𝘍 𝘛𝘏𝘌 𝘓𝘖𝘝𝘌𝘓𝘌𝘚𝘚 𝘛𝘙𝘐𝘓𝘖𝘎𝘠 } Hudson Tempest's an enigma nobody's capable of solving. Darkness has been moulded into his skin, running through him as easily as his blood. More than he's ever allowed anyone to see. Swept up into a world of sin and deviance, Hudson Tempest was broken as a boy and shattered several times over the course of his life. Made to be cruel and forced into a pool of self-destruction, a life that will only ruin him if it continues. Death has been the only thing in sight to him, for a long time. But how hard it is to save someone, who wants to let themselves drown. Val Emerson's the embodiment of light. A heart that outpours warmth like she was made to love, from the very moment she was born. The sunny side up sort of girl with an affinity for the sea, and smiles. When the cruelest of them all and the happiest of them all collide. When her hatred turns into a desperate desire to save the most broken of them all, far past salvation. When his hatred morphs into something he promised not to feel. Opposites. Dark, to light. Whole, and broken. Rivals, in all they do. Until somewhere along the way, they find themselves falling into each other's arms. Somehow, into each other's clashing hearts. <3

THIS STORY IS ON HIATUS !!MATURE THEMES!! <Nick> High school was hard. My best friend was suffering and so was I. In a different way. Taking care of my siblings and trying to live a normal teenage life was making me break. Then I met her. She's like the sun. A spitfire, burning hot, even when she's right in front of me the moment I try to touch she's so far out of reach she might as well be on the other side of the planet. Which she is. She ran from me. I haven't seen or spoke to her in three years. She's never left my mind in all that time. And now she's back. And her timing couldn't be any worse. <Emery> I thought it would save me. My parents control over me squeezed so tight around my throat it hurt to continue pretending to be a carefree teenager. Spending my freshman year of college in Venice with my cousin was supposed to be my salvation. Only leaving Black Valley meant leaving him. I thought that's what I wanted. He was insufferable, cocky, a flirt, and not to be trusted. I know what it's like to be played by a man, a man like him. Then it got dangerous. My heart started to waver, delude me into thinking he meant what he said. So I ran away. But now I'm back and It's been three years since I've seen him. It looks like I can't avoid him anymore. I don't think I want to. Yet now, it looks like I'm the one being avoided. **The plot line takes place three years after Needing Adelaide (not including the epilogue) with the exceptions of some flashbacks**

Despite her cheery nature and soft words AJ has never had it easy when it came to addiction -or depression. Without his addiction, sadness and anger Micah doesn't know who he is -and he hates not knowing things. And, of all places, they meet at a rehab center. He looked at her and saw a peppy girl with no future. She looked at him and saw a troubled boy with a bad past. Micah wants to die, AJ wants him to live. It's only a matter of time before one of them breaks through or breaks the other. - I was 12 the first time I took a hit off a joint at a party, smoked a blunt by myself and bought a bong. I was 13 when I started drinking alcohol for fun. 14 the first time I took ecstasy at a college party I snuck into, the same age I lost my virginity. This was the first time I went to a mental institution because it's also the year I first tried to kill myself. 15 the first time I smoked meth, took a bump of cocaine, shot myself up with heroine. This was the first time I got sent to rehab, it didn't work and I came out worse. I was 16 when I tried to commit three times in the same year, the last time I got my heart to stop for 30 seconds. That year was also the first time I snorted Hydrocodone, getting me started in opiates, I experimented with Xanax and liked it. And I was a month from 17 when I got sober. - "Fuck you." I snap. "You already have." Micah bites out. "And I'm pretty fucking sure you liked it too, if your orgasms were anything to go by." - "I want-" Micah stopped, running his fingers through his hair. "Never mind what I want. What do you want?" His voice is quieter now, more gentle. "You."
