"You asked me if I'd seen him
Then you asked about the smell
Sorry, but I'll see you again
At the high school reunion in hell"
A girl who is desperate for the whole world to love her. A band that hates each other. Secrets best kept hidden and a tangled web of lies. Sometimes a fantasy is better than reality.
Cleo Radford knew what she was getting into when it happened, she knew she would have to lie and cheat her way to back to the freedom she had robbed herself of. The voices in her head weren't all to blame, they had to come from somewhere inside of her. If she had known what a stupid music assignment and a few mistakes would get her into back then, she might've told the truth. Now her only choice is to run, and hope that she doesn't trip over her web of deceit. The only problem is, it's difficult to hide when there's a trail of dead bodies behind you and blood on your hands.

She drank. She partied like it's a profession. And she dropped out of high school before junior year was half over. To top it all off, she's seventeen years old and five months pregnant - a walking cautionary tale with chipped black nail polish and a sharp tongue. So when her mother finally snapped - worn down by the late nights, the police calls, the growing bump Ashley refused to talk about - she didn't yell. She didn't cry. She just packed a single suitcase, added Jess's name to the return address, and sent them both away. Now, Ashley and her twin brother are on a one-way bus ride to Stars Hollow, Connecticut - the postcard-perfect town their mother once called home, full of cozy sidewalks and nosy neighbors and exactly none of the chaos Ashley is used to. She doesn't know it yet, but the town that seems too small for secrets might just be the one place she can't hide. And maybe-just maybe-that's exactly what she needs.
This was not our plan.

Cleo Ashford wasn't exactly Stars Hollow's sweetheart - and she never tried to be. You didn't need to be a mind reader or some psychic tarot-reading town weirdo to figure out why Mrs. Kim practically hissed like a vampire at the sight of her near Lane. Why Babette's muttering turned into full-on commentary the second Cleo's combat boots hit the pavement. Or why Luke Danes, king of grumpy coffee slinging, could suddenly remember a dozen "fire code violations" every time Cleo asked if he was hiring. People didn't like her. Fine. Cool. Cute, even. Let them clutch their pearls while she smoked in the alley behind Doose's and rolled her eyes through yet another town meeting where Taylor tried to ban fun. Cleo wasn't interested in fitting in with the cookie-cutter charm of this postcard town. She wasn't interested in validation, approval, or any of the suffocating politeness the residents used like a weapon. She had a plan - get out. Leave Stars Hollow choking on her exhaust. As soon as her mom stopped pretending she could "fix her" with therapy pamphlets and curfews, Cleo was gone. One-way ticket. New life. No strings. But then he showed up. Luke's nephew. Broody, smug, eyes like he knew things he had no business knowing. A boy who didn't look at her like she was trouble - he looked at her like he wanted to get in trouble with her. And that? That was a problem. A distraction. An anchor. Now, it wasn't just her mother trying to chain her to this town. It was him, too. And Cleo Ashford didn't do chains.Complete

"A killer who is afraid of guns and another who is afraid of the dark, huh? Quite the team." ~β’~~β’~β’~β’~β’~β’~β’~β’~β’~ Cleo knows what she's capable of and how good she is at her job... only this kind of job includes murder and torture. She's been in this business along with her family for a while now to know how things work. She has her share of enemies and a body count that keeps growing, but what could possibly happen if her next job involved someone she hated profoundly? Someone that she had tried and is still trying to kill now? Harry is just as dangerous as her and they have a past... their families go a long way back and they know better than to interfere with each other's business. Nothing good could happen if they crossed paths... and that's exactly what is going to happen. ~β’~~β’~β’~β’~β’~β’~β’~β’~β’~ *This is NOT my original work, this is a reupload! * Spotify Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3yTXKUa4dqvenOkJzMpyo7?si=ZgBNBNVVTaCCkRoFWbtKdw&pi=u-aoIbo3iIRpqxComplete
