©bloodlikegrace They were neighbours once. Friends. Almost something more. Now Ruby Clarke is twenty-two, six months sober, and barely holding her life together behind the counter of a shabby café. She thought she'd buried the past along with her addiction-until Matt Buckner, a disgraced American student, stumbles into her world and reopens an old door she swore she'd never touch again. On the other side of that door is Pete Dunham. Teacher by day. Firm leader by night. The boy next door who used to dare her higher, now swaggering, fearless, and every bit as reckless as she remembers. As old loyalties flare and old wounds split open, Ruby is pulled back into a life of bruised knuckles, smoke-choked pubs, and brotherhoods that feel far too much like her own cravings. Pete is the only one who ever saw her clearly, and the one who might destroy her all over again. Their love was never clean-only clear as bruises.

Evelyn Black has spent years building a quiet, elegant life far from the chaos she fought her way out of. Gallery manager, painter, former art student-she looks like she belongs in wine-soaked exhibition halls and silver jewelry, not in the roar of football terraces. Except Evelyn has secrets of her former life. Before she studied at Cambridge, she used to play football. She and her twin Charlie were supposed to start playing professionally after their 18 birthday but life had other plans for them. So she decided to make a career of her second passion - art. This brought a new kind of hard ships to her life but she pushed through and is now a successful art director and manager of her own gallery. Then she meets Pete Dunham. It happens on an ordinary school pick-up day-Evelyn collecting Thomas's - her older brother- kids, Pete teaching history and football. Something clicks. Not romance, not yet. Just curiosity. Respect. Quiet admiration. The kind that settles deep before anyone notices it growing. Pete brings her to the GSE-the rowdy, loyal, razor-sharp West Ham firm that's more family than friends. Evelyn doesn't flinch. She stands her ground. She learns their names. She drinks with them. She laughs with them. She belongs, even though no one expected she would. Over months, the bonds deepen. The boys become her second family and she feels at home in the world of football once again but not without the occasional fight or drama concerning her public standing in the world of art. The past is catching up but this time she isn't alone. Pete x OC (slow burn, strangers to friends to lovers) This story starts roughly a year before the movie, gets through the movie and goes on after I promise Pete doesn't die, i wont write that much of a story just to kill him off xD
