Most girls dream about meeting their Prince Charming, then having a beautiful wedding, kids and living in a big house. I didn't. Until I met him. Julian Xavier Wes is a pain. He's stubborn, rude, bold, and completely aware of his amazing looks. Yes, I know. But he has sapphire blue eyes, thick coffee-colored hair with just a slight wave to it, and a chiseled square jaw. Not that I'm falling for him or anything. I am completely fine without a man. As I've said to everyone else who asks me- I'm more of a dancing-with-my-friends and PJ kind of girl. I got the "Savage" award for a reason. But during my final year before college, You-Know-Who gets transferred into my AP English class. But just after two days of back-and-forth teasing, we're assigned a group project. And we can't pick our groups. Yes, Julian is in my group. As we meet up to complete our end-of-term project, I almost come to think of him as a friend. Just a friend though. Nothing more. Because as stubborn as he is, I'm more so. The question is, is it worth being so stubborn? This will be from both Julian and Alex's view, and please read! I hope you enjoy!

BOOK ONE Coming out was supposed to set Julian free. Instead, it left him with a broken arm, a mother who won't stop preaching, and a silence that grows heavier every day. High school feels like a cage, and Julian is certain he doesn't belong anywhere-until Paul crashes into his world. With his inked skin, effortless charm, and a following that makes him untouchable, Paul should be the last person Julian lets close. Loving Paul means risking exposure, rejection, and heartbreak all over again. Worse, it means facing the cruelest voice of all-the one inside Julian's own head. Tender, raw, and unflinching, Open is a story about first love, first heartbreak, and finding the courage to believe you're worthy of both. ::: I could feel it when his body finally went slack, when he'd fallen asleep and soft snores emitted. And I thought I was getting better at this breaking down thing... I honestly did but when I was alone, I seemed to fall apart. Endless serenades of how worthless I'd been and how destructive I was; I was a disappointment to literally everyone and I hated it. My breathing became shallow as I cried for the second time that day, finally feeling content being immersed in guilt. A shudder wracked through my body, tears escaping and Paul pulled me closer as he woke silently. Mumbling soft nothings against my skin and kissing it to slow my breathing, he tried to lull me to sleep, "It's okay, you're okay." Refusing to speak -my voice failing me- his arm came up to wrap around my shoulder and I held him there, placing a small kiss to his tattooed skin in a broken sign of gratitude, I must've run out of tears. And I felt at ease.
