"I feel so much lighter like a feather with you off my mind (Ah)"

Breakin' down and coming undone It's a roller coaster kinda rush And I never knew I could feel that much And that's the way I loved you - The Way I Loved You by Taylor Swift *** Blair Naomi Laurent, the French girl who grew up half-wild on the Australian coast, all lipstick smudges, midnight swims, and a talent for self-destruction. Oscar Piastri, the boy next door who drove too fast, kissed too hard, and always left her begging for more. They burned through their teenage years in backseats and beach houses, in parties that blurred into dawn. He was the quiet storm, she was the chaos and together they were dangerous. Until she left. Until he let her. Now Blair's back, glittering under flashing lights, running from everything real. And Oscar? He's no longer the boy she used to sneak out for he's colder, sharper, hungrier. But one look, one touch, and it's clear: the heat never died.

Ashlyn Scott is your average American teenager. She lives with both her parents and older brother Case. She's captain of the cheer squad, and is top of her class. She gets along with everyone, and is considered one of the nicest people in the whole school. But then there's Caiden Cummings. Caiden has every single material item he could ever want. And all the attention of any girl he could ever want. But his life is utterly miserable. He's had two of the most important people in his life ripped away from at too young of an age. He chooses to numb his pain with alcohol and drugs. The weak man's way out. He built a wall around his heart, and he won't let anyone in. When Ashlyn and Caiden cross paths one night, Caiden finds himself -much to his dismay- opening up to her. And Ashlyn finds herself willing listen to anything he has to say, and trying to help him out of his dark place. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We both smiled at each other, our bodies pressed together. Our fingers intertwined. He leaned over me as I stood up on my tip-toes. Our lips pressed together, and I immediately felt the goose bumps. My knees were weak, and butterflies flew in my stomach. I dropped my hands from his and pushed them through his thick, soft hair. He pulled me tighter up against him, like he couldn't get enough. Every part of me wanted to hold on to him, and never let go. I would never, ever get used to this feeling. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Highest Rankings: #1 in Hookups #1 in Players #1 Numbness

"It was a mistake..." She told her mother, folding her hands into each other. "Marrying him..." Her mother said nothing, she simply sat there as her only daughter stood across from her, on the verge of collapsing from bruised ribs and cracked shins. "Mom." She wanted to reach out, softly tap her aging mother. Though that was the restriction of her life. The binding stereotype that she was gentle and slow to anger. In reality, what wanted to explode from her ribs was a scream of an animal, and the tears of repressed rage and fear. She wanted to throw her body onto the floor, but the thought made her damaged body ache more. There was no response from her mother. The deafening silence reminded her of her own quietness as her husband shouted at her, his fists bloody. He told her that she was only a tool for his amusement and a money-whore for her indigent family. She was nothing else but a tool for both parties. And she was starting to believe him. --------------------- Sarah Johnsen's life spirals from the normal gritty resilient fight to a serene wonderland. On the outside, she's married to a kind family with untold riches, but on the inside, her husband is the devil himself. Forcefully married at 18, Sarah was forced to kill her own dreams of becoming a doctor in order to bind her poor family to the rich bastards of Glendale by marrying their youngest; Oliver Grean. Their arrangement had the ability to brew the largest timespan of misery any of them has ever known. From lost toddlers to paid staged kidnappings, the binding of the two families, the Johnsen's and the Grean's created a mixture of chaos, confusion, sorrow, fear, grief, and dangerous rage. And there seems to be no haven to escape to. Or is there?
