❝ AND I'M NOT SORRY. IT'S HUMAN NATURE. ❞ Everyone knows Allie Hayes. Confident, fearless, and unforgettable. She's the girl everyone seems to gravitate toward. But not many people know her younger sister, Noelle Hayes. Graceful on the stage and reserved everywhere else, Noelle has spent her life expressing herself through ballet instead of words. Every performance is effortless, every movement precise. But off stage, she's still searching for where she belongs. Starting at Briar is meant to be a fresh start, one where she can step out of her sister's shadow and make a name for herself. Then she meets Beau Maxwell. He's everything she isn't. Charismatic, laid-back, and always surrounded by friends. Beau has a way of making people smile without even trying. While Noelle prefers the comfort of the quiet dance studio. And yet somehow, they always find their way back to each other. What starts as chance encounters turns into late-night conversations, stolen glances after performances, and a friendship neither of them saw coming. But as feelings grow, so do the pressures of chasing impossible dreams, living up to expectations, and risking the one thing they've both been afraid to lose: their hearts. Maybe the strongest love stories aren't about finding someone who changes you. Maybe they're about finding someone who sees you exactly as you are. off-campus fanfic ( beau maxwell x oc!fem )

I'LL NEVER MOVE ONE FROM YOU Emerson Graham has one rule when it comes to her brother Garrett's friends: don't get involved. Especially not with Beau Maxwell - Briar's star football player, Dean's ride-or-die, and the walking definition of trouble in a tight t-shirt. One reckless night after a party changes everything. What starts as a single, mind-blowing hookup in Beau's room is supposed to stay exactly that - one time. But when the chemistry is this addictive and the sneaking around is this easy, they do the logical thing: they make it an arrangement. Rules are simple. And non-negotiable. No sleeping over. No kissing on the mouth. No dates. No jealousy. No one in the friend group can ever find out (especially Garrett). Beau agrees immediately. Emerson does too. They're both adults. They can handle casual. Except Beau Maxwell has never been good at casual when it comes to something he actually wants. The first rule to break is sleeping over. Then the kissing. Then the part where he's not supposed to care who Emerson talks to at parties or why she's suddenly wearing his hoodie under her jacket. Every time he tells himself it's still just sex, and the lie gets harder to believe. She keeps trying to enforce the rules. He keeps breaking them - in the backseat of his truck after games, in the locker room when everyone else has left, in her dorm at 2 a.m. when he "just needs to see her." The more they try to keep it strictly casual, the more possessive Beau becomes. The more jealous. The more obvious it gets that this was never going to stay simple. Because somewhere between the rules they made and the ones they shattered, Beau Maxwell stopped pretending Emerson Graham was just a benefit. And Emerson? She's starting to realize she never really wanted casual either.
