"If we fall in love, we might get hate..." "I can live with that, just to be close to you." "I we fall in love, we might lose some of our friends..." "Then they aren't truly our friends. We could always find better ones." "If we fall in love, we might end up breaking each other's hearts..." "If we're in true love, that'll never happen." "If we fall in love, I'd want to kiss you..." "And I'd let you." "If we fall in love, I may want to marry you someday..." "Then I'll propose." "If we fall in love, I'd want to spend the rest of my life with you..." "We'd be together forever." "If you fall in love, I'm sorry..." "Don't be. I'll be happy." "If I fall in love, I'd want you to know how I feel..." "And I'd cherish that feeling." "If we fall in love, when do you think that'll be?" "I think it already happened." "Have we fallen in love?" "I think you know the answer. "Do you love me?" "Yes." "Do I love you?" "Do you?" "...Yes." "If we have fallen in love, when will we have our first real kiss?" "Wasn't I the one asking those types of questions?" "You took too long to ask it." "Can I ask it?" "Sure." "Since we have fallen in love, can we kiss for real?" "My exact thoughts..." "I love you." "I love you, too." ~~~ Cover by @Snowyheaven !

Having to watch the woman who broke your heart be totally in love with another man... how would you even survive? It doesn't help if your best friend has gone MIA on you, leaving you to deal with it by yourself. When Laurance returns to Mystreet, after going missing for nearly two years, the first and only person he goes to is his best friend, Garroth. He brings with him the promise to help him forget all his heartache. Will the plan backfire, or will it work a little too well?

Trying to get away from her troubled past, she moves with her mom to California to start a new life, and potentially not screw this one up. There, she quickly meets Scarlett and Savanah, her new-found partners in crime, and her life finally begins to feel normal again for the first time in years. But she just so happens to also collide with the school's sexy, notorious jackass, Ashton Monroe.. and his pack of asswipes. She loathes him, and the feeling is mutual. But as the poets say, the line separating love and hate is a very thin one. And often times, when two people hate each other, it can grow into much more. Hopeless devotion, if you will... • • • • !!!TRIGGER WARNING!!! • slight mention(s) of suicidal concepts • substance abuse, addiction, anxiety, PTSD • sexual assault, domestic abuse • strong language and mature scenes • • • •
