Angel.
5'3, stubborn, extremely sarcastic and fierce with an even shorter temper. She's been hurt, alot, but who hasn't right? She covers this pain with jokes, and with the help of her long time bestfriend Alyssa, laughter.
They both moved to their dream place of Los Angeles, California for their senior year of high school, amongst other things, in hopes of an at least semi-normal life. They were crossing their fingers that the saying 'there's no place like home' was true to its words and they could live peacefully and drama-free in their new apartment together.
Living on your own is a huge responsibility but they were up for it, they had to be.
There's also a boy, multiple, but isn't there always though?
What came unexpected was life in LA turned out to be a whirlwind of emotions with so many different things happening at the same time it would make any person's head spin.
New faces, familiar faces, romance, bromance, secrets, fights and more are in store for these friends, making them question not only themselves but life in general.
This is the story about friends, family really, some more than that, who together try to overcome everything life throws at them. But be warned, all that unravels you're not ready for.
To quote Elizabeth George, "Listen carefully. The answers to our deepest questions are often whispered."
(P.S. please don't steal what I write in this story. Zip, zap, zup, nada. Let all that is here stay here please, you know, like what happens in vegas stays in Vegas? No? Exactly, don't do that.)
"Fuck." He whispers into my neck, sending a thrill of excitement through my body.
His lips still smothered kisses over my neck and his hands roamed my body, starting at my chest, going down to my stomach. Caressing my soft skin, his thumb trailed circles on my groin before slightly slipping into the waistband of my jeans.
My breath catches in my throat as I pull at the hoodie that covered his chiselled body. Understanding, Jacob pulls it off in one swift movement before attaching his lips back on my neck. Sucking and biting it before flicking his tongue over the sore spot. A quiet moan leaves my mouth and I clasp my hand over it, denying any noise to escape.
"You drive me fucking crazy, Aria."
