TRIGGER WARNING // mentions of physical/emotional abuse and other dark topics, as well as mature scenes and references. This book will be written in two POVs. Each chapter will be in either Charlie or Ellie's POV, and consequently will be written by either one of us. Charlie and Ellie have been best friends since before Ellie's brother was arrested. They've sorted through Charlie's bisexual mess of a love life, Ellie's need to paint a life model, and their feelings for the two boys that returned to their lives. Thrown into the deep end of infatuation, the girls need to decide if they're willing to take the leap into a romantic relationship, or content to sit and daydream from afar. Jack was removed from his sister's life at fifteen by assault charges and biased cops. He returned almost a year later, with best friend, Miles in tow. Both boys are trying to move on from the harsh time they met in, but are blindsided as they spend more time with Ellie and Charlie. A helping hand becomes a vow of protection, and quiet moments caught between their lives become letting down walls and being vulnerable. How will these new relationships navigate their bruised lives? Are they strong enough to survive the tremors that rock them? Or will they shatter on the floor like a forgotten photo?

Fighter {Completed}

The world has chewed up and spit out Eleanor Robinson again and again. It began with her parents, one taken by a tragedy, one addicted to horrific drugs, and a brother who's too boozed out to know if she's alive or dead. Alone in the world, Ellie isn't exactly sure of how life works, of how anything works, really. The only two people she has that even remotely understand are Sebastian and Scarlett, a pair of siblings that remind her so much of her own family, it's hard to be around them sometimes. When the trio finally move in together after being friends for almost three years, they end up closer than ever. But the move brings along another problem into Ellie's life. Cole Everett is a fighter. From the moment he was cast aside by his family, he's had to fight for scraps at the orphanage dinner table, fight for a spot in the light of his foster family's eyes, and fight for the love of his adoptive parents. It seemed like he never won when it came to personal battles, but in the ring... In the ring, he owned the world. Years and years of the world kicking Cole's ass has shaped him into the fighter Ellie and everyone else sees him as. But the world has also shaped Ellie, and the sweet, heavy-hearted girl paints on a façade that seems only Cole can break through. As the pair attempt to navigate a decent enough relationship to be in the same room as one another without going for the throat, the people around them float between blurred lines of friend or foe. Hearts clash, past enemies arise, and the pair's hearts hang in the balance of it all.
