It was too late. By the time I had realized what I needed, she was gone, and I was alone yet again. But I'll be damned if I let that stop me.

17 year old Mary Rose is a slut. A thot. A ho. Whatever you call a girl who'll sleep with anyone she finds interesting. She doesn't feel bad when she hears a good couple broke up the next day. She won't cry when she finds mean notes in her locker. She'll probably laugh when she hears about a teachers divorce she caused. She simply couldn't give two fucks.
So when she sets her eyes on a boy on the football team, she thinks it will be like every other time she fucks a boy on the football team. Easy and simple. Flash a few times, call him daddy, and he's on already on you. Just because.
Then she meets his girlfriend. And then his girlfriend's best friend. Then her brother. Then his friends. Now Mary Rose is facing an issue she never had to face before.
Love and friendship.
'Why am I so far away from you' is a story full of horny teens, salty bitches, hate, friendship, cheating, love, lesbians, and a touch of magic. Mary Rose is going to figure just what it means to miss someone, and might figure out how to love in the process.
After enduring years of neglect and cruelty from her mother and stepfather, Ariana's life changes drastically when tragedy brings her under the guardianship of five brothers she's never met and they never even knew they had a sister.
For her brothers, learning they have a sister is an unwelcome surprise. Suspicious and reluctant, her brothers see Aria as an outsider, a stranger disrupting the fragile balance of their lives.
For Aria, their home is both a new beginning and a constant reminder of the family that left her behind.
Haunted by the pain of her past, Aria struggles to adjust, her every action guarded and her trust hard to earn.
As her brothers try to understand her, they begin to glimpse the scars she hides and the strength she carries. Little by little, resentment turns to empathy, and the walls between them start to crumble. But just as the siblings begin to find common ground, the secrets and trauma of Aria's old life threaten to tear them apart. Together, they must decide whether they can overcome the shadows of the past to forge a family and whether Aria can finally find a place to belong.
