Most nights, River Jones goes home to a present... But not the kind you're thinking of.
In class, she remains on top of her grades whilst also juggling her horrible home life and part-time job. She wants to get out of her hometown Westwood Coast and she doesn't want anybody getting close to her. Even her only friend Kimberley.
River always travels to the lake, wasting her Saturdays by reading a book or just watching the ducks swim by. Sam Evans sees how she acts in school, intrigued by her and one day, he shows up at the lake, noticing something.

"What's that?" He asks, inching closer to take a better look.
"I burnt it on straighteners." She replies bluntly, backing away.
"You're a bad liar, that's no burn. Tell me the truth." He demands, keeping the soft look on his face and she sighs reluctantly answering.
-----
The lake is her safe place, but can Sam Evans take that spot instead?

Those nights
"Would you still love me if I said I didn't love myself?" He asked shakily. "All my love would make up for the self love you say you're incapable of" she replied back with sincerity. In which, a 15 yr old boy named Ashton, soon turning 16 in the next couple months just wants to live his life without anyone tormenting him. Sadly enough though, his dad and some 3 boys at school have been tormenting him for years on end. But his life gets a bit better once his parents old high school friends come to surprisedly visit them one rainy evening on a Saturday night in 2019, bringing along their 3 kids, Kai, the eldest and Lily and Ivy, the two younger twins always bickering whenever you set eyes on them. Although once in high school and having more friends, his life still wasn't the best as he did still struggle with his dad and those 3 boys tormenting him, as well as struggling with a few disorders - This is a book about my ocs, my two main ones being Ashton and Kai, and some other 4 main ocs, siding with others in the book. This is a romance book, mainly focusing on Ashton and Kai, but also focusing on the others in the book a bit too. This book is filled with lots of ups and downs, including sad moments, happy moments, and plenty of other moments the characters will face. Tws (technically some spoilers?) -lots of swearing -bullying -fights -abuse -violence -underaged drinking -self harm -abduction -heavy SA implications

Bar Red's Redemption ✔
"If you turn your back to me again, you better be bending over, sweetheart." *** Everyone warns you about boys who go looking for troubles, who have bruised knuckles and split lips, whose eyes are so dark that it seems like they could swallow oceans and come out alive, about the boys who look like danger, but no one warns about boys who stay silent for way too long, or ones with rings under their eyes, boys with sad eyes and boys who whisper things so sweet, so quietly that you wonder if he was an angel. Everyone warns you about the bad boys, but no one seems to warn you about the broken ones. Bar Red was a broken boy who finally finds someone to help mend his scattered pieces. Everyone saw him as the untrustworthy, unstable beast who was more than willing to punch anyone's face in. Swear words and bad habits mixed with smirks and wicked grins are enough to ward anyone off. But, apparently for Clementine, that's exactly what pulls her in. She has no clue what she's getting into but she's about to find out. She wasn't innocent, not by far, but she had dignity, a warm aura, niceness, and stubbornness that could rival a mule. Mix that with Bar's possessiveness and overprotective behavior, some interesting situations will definitely arise. Adding in the fact that Clementine had to tutor Bar for the rest of the school year and his almost instinctual urge to be apart of her life, they are bound to get close. Bar swears, Clementine hates it. He fights, she glares while bandaging up his knuckles. She reads instead of eats and he refuses dinner until she joins him. He is rude and she ignores him until he apologizes. Both, easily, frustrate the other while simultaneously falling into love. Broken boys are the only ones that can fix themselves so will this broken boy manage to do so before he drives away the one girl who wiggled her way past every barrier? This is the story of a broken bad boy clashing with the sad good girl. * #1 in the Red series Stand aloneComplete
