She is the Sister
He is the Best Friend
She is a perfectionist
He is a organized mess
She is sarcastic
He is apathetic
She is damaged
So is he.
***************************
Addison Skyler: A sarcastic, optimistic, sweet, caring, perfectionist that always finds ways to have fun. She has had more than her fair share of tragedies in life... but not many people know. Being siblings with Nick Skyler, one of the most popular kids in school, she has enough of a reputation. She has straight A's, a clean room, nice friends, and an appropriate number of sneakers and cardigans in her closet. Contrary to most people's beliefs, Addison doesn't trust people easily. She uses her sarcastic comments, witty replies, and good impressions to make everyone believe she trusts them. but she has a tight circle.
Asher Thompson, Nick's best friend, is the epitome of bad decisions. From jumping off cliffs, to street fighting, he finds adrenaline in plenty of places. His leather jacket and motorcycle tend to ware off all the right kids and make all the wrong ones swarming around. Brainless Bimbos and Arrogant jocks are naturally attracted to him. But he already has his group, Nick,Zac, Ava, Kayla.....and Addison. Growing up around Nick means growing up around Addison. He sees her as a sister... at least that's what he always thought. But suddenly the lines start becoming blurred and things that they thought would never change, change for good.
Somewhere between high school, and a lot of secrets that they didn't even know existed, their own little world seems to implode, and all the feelings they thought they felt, suddenly become fuzzy.
How many late night talks does it take to gain Asher Thompson's trust?
How many screw ups does it take to finally lose Addison Skyler?
How many times do you have to get burned before you learn not to play with fire?
[UPDATED WEEKLY]
"You may be his world, but you're the only thing that ever felt like home to me."

Some people never get second chances. Lilah never thought she'd get one with her brother's best friend.
Lilah is quiet, kind, and inexperienced in love. Jackson is all rough edges-tattoos, a bad reputation, and a long history of girls who never stay. They're total opposites, and after years of silence, they're inconveniently forced back into each other's lives as reluctant project partners.
Once, Jackson was the boy who helped pull Lilah out of the darkness when she was struggling. He was her best friend-her only friend growing up. Then he walked away without a word. Now, four years later, he's cold, distant, and impossible to read. And if he hates her, Lilah's determined to hate him right back.
But when old wounds resurface and secrets unravel, the line between love and hate starts to blur. The boy who once protected her is still in there somewhere-hidden beneath his walls, his reckless reputation, and the weight of a lifelong secret he's been barely holding together that he refuses to talk about.
Because some second chances come with a price. And this time, it might be her heart.
