Bestfriends-brother Stories

*cover by skyrockette* In a small town in California, 17-year-old Chloe Harper has been left to take care of her late grandfather's once-legendary bakery called Eleanor's, which was named after Chloe's mother, Eleanor (duh) Sadly, Chloe's best friend Aubrey Gray, who is also the most popular girl at their high school, had her parents and her open a rival bakery down the street from Eleanor's, but that isn't the worst part. The worst part was that the Grays were not only stealing Eleanor's customers but also stealing the employees as well by giving them better pay and a free week at the family's beach house in southern California for each new employee. Now meet Jasper Gray, the twin brother of Aubrey Gray. Just like Aubrey, he is the most popular guy in school and is also the newest addition and one of the only additions to Eleanor's, instead of working at his family's bakery. Now with the help of Jasper and a few others, Chloe and Jasper will figure out a way to make the once legendary bakery, legendary again. " Hey Chlo, I was just wondering, but are the cookies supposed to look black and smell....different?" Jasper calls from the kitchen. Scratch that, they will try to make the bakery legendary again....but it might take a little while longer than expected.

Aria never imagined that she would see Oliver again, it had been many years since she had last seen Ollie. He was her best friends brother, and he was off limits, not that he ever noticed her. They had grown up together, attented the same schools, played playground games after school, and hung out at each other's homes. Suddenly right around middle school Aria started to get shy, and awkward whenever Ollie was present, and it got worse the older they got. She'd steal glimpses of him whenever possible, and yet, never admitted it to anyone, let alone Ollie. Then life happened, and they grew up, and they all went there separate ways. One day, Aria spots Ollie in the distance, and she immediately becomes entranced at the sight of him. Oliver was older now, but she quickly recognized him. She would know, as she had stolen many moments staring, studying his face, and she could definitely spot those eyes anywhere. They are suddenly forced to face each other, and she realizes that she quickly becomes that awkward shy school girl all over again. He is familiar to her, but yet, still different, as he is a soldier who hasn't quite left the battlefield. Standing so close to him, she can't help but try to steal a closer look at him, but she quickly realizes that this time- he is staring back at her, and he isn't even trying to hide it. His eyes are immediately locked on her at the first sight.
