You know that one friend... I mean, we all have that one friend... The friend who is prettier than you, smarter, better at sports, funnier, more lovable, and of course more popular. The one friend whose name is always on everyone's lips. That one friend whose personality always outshines your own. The one with whom you always just tag along, in her shadow. The one who has you wishing for just one moment in the spotlight. 

I mean, all of this is fine. But it is not fine when this one friend is your BEST friend... and you're not allowed to be jealous.

The Aid by funkystyles

*MAJOR EDITS IN PROGRESS* Evie Stanton dreamed of playing the bass for a living before a fateful winter night hurled her into adulthood at the age of eighteen. Three years later, the former wild child hasn't let her past define her and does her best with what she's learned from it - be there for others as much as possible. Harry Moran had it all - a beautiful girlfriend, good looks, popularity. What no one could see behind his charm and sense of humor was a middle child who kept all of his problems to himself, even after receiving a heartbreaking diagnosis, so as not to be a burden to anyone around him. And then, the two meet. Art meets sports, heavy metal meets alternative rock, but more than anything, stubborn meets stubborn. Big-city girl with a savior complex meets small-town boy who simply refuses to be taken care of. Unstoppable force from Manhattan meets immovable object that has come to get on her nerves all the way from Colorado, and what better way to deal with it than to make her life all about saving his? // TW: serious illness, strong language, alcohol, mentions of substance abuse, mentions of physical abuse, sexual content

We Dream at Midnight (Ember 2) by immoralLaurel

Here she is. I can see the slope of her spine through that thin shirt. She's made of angles I ache to smooth with a hand, but I'd use my lips if she asked. I brush her knuckles with mine. Her skin is cold, but she flips her palm for more contact. I lace our fingers. It's enough to make her look at me. As those kaleidoscopic eyes meet mine, I hold my breath. Then she sets her lips just under my jaw. It rips the air from my lungs. It's the softest thing I've ever felt. "What was that for," I breathe. She pulls back, lashes damp, and whispers, "You're the kind of person that should be kissed." 𝙝𝙪𝙧𝙩 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙝𝙪𝙧𝙩 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 BOOK TWO C O N T A I N S : ❤︎ mature content ❤︎ romance & friendship ❤︎ yearning Copyright © 2021-present Laurel Montaze (immoralLaurel).
