All she wanted him to do was smile. A love story.

This wasn't love. It was madness. A certain type of madness I didn't know how to stop nor could I prove. What tore me apart was the fact it was coming from a man I thought was my friend, my family, my rock to lean on. Instead of being a rock to lean on. He turned out to be a rock that crushed you and everyone else around you. He turned out to be a killer that no one else believes. Melanie, and Alex, best friends for a long time. Alex was the epitome of best friend. However when people start getting killed and it somehow links back to Alex. Melanie gets suspicious. Especially after that one call that changed everything. Now let's see who would win. Alex's madness or Melanie who would do anything for justice.

Xavier had a criminal record as colourful as the bruises on his face. He had built a less-than impressive reputation for himself from fights and drug misuse to rape allegations. The townsfolk knew to stay clear of him and his family. Including kind-hearted Lilia, the much-loved Sheriffs daughter. This is the journey of two people meant to be, but the universe just isn't ready for them yet. Will they overcome the secrets, burdens, trauma and grief to be together or are there just too many obstacles in the way? *This story is a dual his/her point of view story.*

Berkley and Dean had been best friends since they were in diapers. They were so close they could finish each other's sentences and had never spent more than a week apart in their entire lives. They grew up together because their Dads were best friends and co-owners of a fishing boat company they had started up together after college. Dean had always looked out for Berkley and tried to protect her from getting hurt by guys that had bad intentions, and she trusted him more than anyone else in the world. That's why, when they went off to college together and she decided she wanted to experience sex for the first time, she couldn't imagine doing it with anyone else but him. She wanted her first time to be with someone special, someone that meant a lot to her that she could trust. Dean refused at first because he was afraid it would mess up their friendship, but he eventually caved when he found out that refusing meant she was going to do it with a guy that he hated instead. He was so protective of her that he finally gave in. The deal was, it was just going to be one time and they'd go back to being just friends after, like it never happened. The problem was, they didn't think through all the consequences that came along with having sex with your best friend. **** Warning!
