I sneered up at him with distaste, wanting to wrap my fingers around his neck and strangle that smirk off of him. He brushed my golden hair from my face, his long, slender fingers sparking electricity in my skin, making my knees wobble together. "Will you ever, forgive me?" he whispered huskily, his eyes intently staring into mine. His face was only mere inches from me. I just needed to reach out a little further to kiss him... "Yeah. Over my dead body." I snapped, before throwing my arms out forcefully, shoving my hands into his chest, pushing him from me. -*-*-*- He, is Carter Williams. I, am Lacey Adams. We were once, inseparable. The 'Golden Couple'. The unbreakable best friends, that everybody envied. Nothing could get between us. A part from being tighter than white on rice, we updated our status from friends to being in a relationship, frequently. We were neighbours, which meant our families were all close and even co-owned houses around our town. This, all is, until the day of my sixteenth birthday. Everything changed. The loving relationship we shared, was severed and torn apart. I couldn't hardly stand to look at him any more, without spitting fire that is. Every day is torture being around him. He was in all my classes at school and the window in my room was even directly aligned with his. So, what happens? My mother's mum gets sick, so dad and her fly out. Just them. Leaving me to stay with Carter and his parents, who are never home. We would be alone. In one house. Under the same roof. If I was insane before, I have no idea what I am now. © 2016 by LaurenJ22.

I replayed those three sentences in my head over and over, pissing myself off even more. That asshole would never have a chance with me. "Don't pay any attention to Tyler. He just wants a reaction out of you," Levi continued calmly before distracting me, kissing my neck softly. I snapped out of my trans and smiled at him. "You know how much I hate your brother right?" Kylie's life is nearly flipped upside down when she's forced to move in with her best friend, Levi, after her own father claims to want no involvement with her. All is well initially, until another problem arises: Levi's older brother, Tyler. Returning home after three years, Tyler proves to be skilled in getting under everyone's skin, but what happens when he begins to find an interest in Kylie? Are his feelings genuine or is Kylie's heart merely a shiny trophy that the brothers will fight over?
