She's the wildfire everyone leans on-loud, loyal, unbreakable. She fights for her friends and pretends the nightmares don't still wake her screaming. She says she's fine. She's lying. He's the sarcastic guy who acts like she's his headache. The one who notices when her smile cracks. The one who carries her when she breaks. The one who whispers "I've got you" like a vow. He says he's fine. He's lying. Their chaotic family is everything-late-night donut runs, color wars, two fiercely loyal dogs who guard her heart. But one is slipping away. Secret calls. Forced smiles. Guilt she can't name. And someone is watching. Planting photos. Whispering doubts. Turning closeness into betrayal. Waiting to isolate her... and make her his. A festival of colors hiding fractures. Panic in the dark. Late-night confessions. They laugh. They fight. They fall apart together. But when the pictures arrive, will everyone survives what comes next? **Perfect Chaos** - where friendship keeps them breathing, love is the deadliest risk, and the shadow already knows how to break her. Step into the storm. You won't look away. 🌪️💜

Don't Fall Not Yet
Moving from Mexico to the wealthy, perfect suburbs of New York, María Hernandez's plan was simple: finish high school, keep her head down, and blend into the background. That plan lasted until she met Marcus Whitmore. Marcus is the town's golden boy-the star quarterback, popular, and untouchable. But the easy smile is a lie. His eyes hold a constant, dangerous storm, his home is full of secrets, and he has sworn off feeling anything real for anyone. The moment their worlds collide, they don't just fall; they break open. María is the calm he never knew he needed, and he's the dangerous chaos she should have run from the second she saw him. This is Don't Fall, Not Yet. Told in dual POV, this story is about the fight for identity, the ugly price of loyalty, and the devastating violence of secrets. It's about the impossible choice between protecting the people you love... and destroying them completely. Mature Audience Warning: 18+ Although María and Marcus's journey begins in high school, it will follow them into adulthood. Expect explicit content, strong language, messy emotions, and raw moments that don't shy away from the real challenges of growing up. I'm doing my best to reflect the richness and challenges of both Mexican and Anglo-American Elite experiences with honesty and care. If I ever miss the mark, please (gently) let me know-I'm always open to learning and doing better. Please read, share, vote, follow, and leave a comment. I'd love to hear your thoughts as you join María and Marcus on this unforgettable journey. © Scarlett Moon, 2025 This is a work of fiction. All rights reserved.

"Will you ever, forgive me?" he whispered huskily, his eyes intently staring into mine. His face was only mere inches from me. I just needed to reach out a little further to kiss him... "Yeah. Over my dead body." I snapped, before throwing my arms out forcefully, shoving my hands into his chest, pushing him from me. -*-*-*- He, is Carter Williams. I, am Lacey Adams.
