"I really like you, Aria."
My body jolted with electricity when I heard my name roll of his tongue. It sounded so familiar, yet so different.
"I want you to know that I really like you. You're different from all the other girls. You don't throw yourself at me for attention, I was just drawn to you. You are beautiful and that Gabe wasn't worth one second of your time. I think you deserve someone that loves you."
It was then I knew that maybe I could love again.
"Someone like me."

His lips still smothered kisses over my neck and his hands roamed my body, starting at my chest, going down to my stomach.

Are you mine?
We've all heard about 'the main character'. The type of person who lives through the most dramatic and improbable situations, and finds the kind of epic romance you only see in works of fiction. Which makes you think about how unrealistic love like that is. I used to think the same thing until I met him. Until I met 'the bad boy' that, as it turns out, wasn't that bad at all, just simply...a boy. A boy with an easy smile, a charming personality and looks so enticing that I couldn't keep my eyes off of him if I tried. A boy whose shoulders were starting to slump with the weight of his past and his family. A boy who believed that the only way to survive was by putting a lock on his heart and chaining it down to a place so deep inside of him that no one could ever reach it again. A boy who, for reasons I'll never comprehend, placed the key inside my palm and didn't shy away when I tried to free his hidden heart from its restraints. A boy who made me the main character of my own story. A story I never want to forget, and which begged to be put on paper. This is that story. ~~~ #1 love triangle 8/26/2019 #1 teen romance 11/4/2019 #1 mystory 7/27/2020 #1 teen drama 9/9/2020 #1 goodgirl 9/12/2020 Cover by @alexandramar1e Contains swearing and mature language.Complete
