Everleigh Rush's best friend is dead.
Exactly one week ago, Skylar Miyasaki killed herself, and since then, nights have been restless, tempers have fluctuated and stakes have risen to an all time high.
Countless warning signs and even the suicide note itself do nothing but raise questions in her mind; arming her with a resolve she'd never had before. A purpose, for the first time in her life: to find out why.
But when atmospheres in her house begin to tense, Ever fears the worst. Ill at ease, she packs her bags and flees into the arms of landlord--and inadvertent saviour--Ariel Wright.
And somehow, the seemingly irrelevant giant has everything she's been searching for.
Including all the things she didn't know she wanted.

Tired of Lies
*(COMPLETED) "The worst thing about being lied to is knowing you weren't worth the truth." He bit his lip. "I wanted to te-" His eyes began to water and as a single tear fell he looked at me and said "but what if you've been lying for so long you don't know how to tell the truth?" "I have and so will you." He shook his head, shut his eyes, and leaned his forehead against the glass. "And here I was thinking you would admit that you don't tell the truth either." I gripped the telephone as my knuckles turned white. "What do you mean?" "Come on Zoey I've seen you sneaking around acting like you're busy. You're hiding something and you won't tell me."

Boy Trouble GT
Two roommates. One friendship. A world of difference. Kye is a giant, but he's never felt larger than life. Shy, awkward, and hiding behind oversized hoodies, he's perfectly content fading into the background-except when a bottle of alcohol is in his hands. His quiet kindness is often overshadowed by his bad habits, and though he pretends not to care, there's one person whose opinion means everything to him. Mason, on the other hand, is human-and the complete opposite of Kye. Popular, confident, and full of energy, he thrives in the spotlight, surrounded by friends and teammates who adore him. But no matter how many people fill the room, he always seems to drift back to Kye, the so-called weirdo that others overlook. They've been best friends for years. Nothing more. Nothing less. Until one night, Kye gets too drunk, and suddenly, everything is too much, too fast, too real. Now, the boundaries between them are blurring, emotions rising to the surface that neither of them were prepared for. As Kye wrestles with the fear of ruining the only thing keeping him afloat, and Mason starts questioning why he keeps gravitating back to his giant of a best friend, the tension between them grows. Will Kye finally get the man he's been secretly in love with for years? Will Mason realize that the connection between them runs deeper than just friendship? Or is this just one giant emotional wreck waiting to happen? Read now to follow their journey-where size isn't the only difference between them, but love just might be the thing that bridges the gap.Complete
