My mum and dad are constantly working away from home, so they have to leave us all alone. Yes, you read right; us. I have four older brothers and a younger one. I'm the only girl of the family, so that means I have overly protective brothers, that can also be utter idiots (cliché right?) and I have no love life (surprised?). This is an account of my life before it got flipped upside down by a certain... Person... Yeah, person. No need for the boys to know who it is exactly. But they will, so this 'person' will have to stay under wraps, but nothing like this is so simple... ***Lots of bad language. Just a forewarning before you all yell at me for it :)*** ***Plot twists and character developments around every corner, sorry not sorry.***Complete
SEE RIGHT THROUGH ME
" 'Cause if I know you see me falling, You'll be right there to pick me up" Liyah never meant to fall this fast. She's the shy-but-outgoing type - the kind of girl who laughs things off, bites her tongue, and lets stuff slide just to keep the peace. Communication isn't her strong suit, and standing up for herself never came easy. But when Kayzon walks into her life, everything she thought she knew about protecting her heart gets complicated. Kayzon's got his own story - one written in pain, loss, and walls too high for most people to climb. His past made him hard, quiet, and guarded, but somehow, Liyah gets past the surface. She makes him feel seen again. Safe, even. What starts as late-night conversations and lazy afternoons in her dorm turns into something deeper, something neither of them expected. But when two people carrying their own kind of hurt collide, love doesn't always heal - sometimes, it exposes. Did they move too fast, or did they just find each other at the wrong time?
