"Life is about deep kisses, strange adventures, midnight swims, and rambling conversations." -Unknown Running away wasn't the hard part of it. In fact, that took very little thought at all. Trying to figure out why it felt so right was what made it complicated. How a boy on a bus changes everything.

Dakota promised to always be there for Calum when he was ready to come home. Problem is, Calum seems to have forgotten that promise, in fact, he seems to have forgotten everything they once were. The two could never quite get it right but with Calum finally home from tour maybe they can, maybe even though they weren't in the cards before they can be now. When truths are revealed and memories are flooding back, will they finally be able to get their act together? Sequel to Neighbor Calum Special thanks to SherizaRaiyah for the title and a bit of plot as well. :-) Also thanks to anyone else who sent in ideas for this story you guys are amazing. Most of you were anon and I'm not really sure on any specific names because I did pick and choose little things here and there to add in but if you see something you suggested feel free to shoutout and take credit. (:

Dakota and Calum were always a one way ticket heading straight toward a moving train and nothing could have stopped that. This is their short-lived love story before the inevitable.

Rose does not like Harry. And Harry does not like Rose. But perhaps the threat of a ruthless brain and a shady corporate conspiracy could change for them. or, at least, could make a stash of Snickers. He was like the moon-- a part of him was always hidden

Elle Grey doesn't need anyone. She only needs herself, a paintbrush, and if she gets desperate enough, there are the few people she actually tolerates that she can talk to. She knows that there's more out there in the world - in fact, she spends most of her time either daydreaming or painting about it. She knows that the South Dakotan town she's grown up in is only suffocating her. That's why she finds Harry so intriguing. He's different and he brings out something in her that she wasn't sure was still there. Suddenly she's second-guessing everything she has known her entire life - maybe she does need someone.

There's three things you should know about Harry: 1. When we were in ninth grade his biggest aspiration in life was to start a punk ukulele band. 2. Once I made him a bracelet with plastic beads that didn't have a pattern in the slightest, and he wore it for years until the pink string holding it together couldn't take any more wear and tear. 3. He's been my neighbor for more than half my life, and that hasn't changed now that we're in college. There's three things you should know about me: 1. I'm banned from the putt putt golf course in my hometown... but that's actually Harry's fault. 2. I'm not a fan of math, but I'm good at it, which has turned into a constant battle in my head. 3. I'm not about to fall in love with my best friend. I'm not.

"Calum please don't go." I plead desperately. "I can't stay." He says coldly before grabbing his bag and walking to the door. "Cal.." I reach out for him but he flinches away. "It's feels like you put a knife through my chest and pushed it right through to the,other side of my back." His eyes are glassy and I feel my heart shatter. This wasn't suppose to happen. Calum was the last person I ever wanted to hurt yet I had hurt him the most. "The Boyfriend project worked out really well Genie." He says before walking out the door.

"My name is Calum Hood. I have a secret. I am the Mafia don's son, and my mission? To eliminate the president's daughter--Mia Roux."

Calum Hood has always hated me but I have no clue why. He's bullied me everyday for the past 4 years, I'm just glad I won't have to see him after I graduate.. Right?
