My biggest mistake by mafiaddiction

Maeve is the popular teenage girl with perfect grades, a ride-or-die friend group, piercing beautiful eyes, and a personality that makes everyone like her. Her life seems perfect from the outside, but is that the truth or just a picture everyone could look at? Only one person knows what is behind the curtains of her play. She will always regret that she told him almost everything. Atlas is the most venerated boy in the school; all the girls drool over him when he crosses their way. Perfect body, nice hair, breathtaking eyes, and a charming smile.Good influence and a great personality. Who wouldn't want to be around him? Except that's the problem, he only enjoys the company of his friends, the circle everyone wants to be part of, in which happens to be his best friend's little sister. He gets annoyed and irritated every time he sees her. She can't help but only look at him in disgust. Is this hate towards each other a real thing or just a loophole found to hide their feelings? ~~~~~~ [[He kissed me like he really meant it. He kissed me like he meant every single word he said earlier this day, like there was no tomorrow, we soared through the sky, the tiny world sparkling below. The snowflakes falling slowly next to us and on us as our mouths opened and our tongues met into an electrifying kiss, that makes my whole body shiver and heat up at the same time. ]] ~~~~~~ ⚠️TW⚠️: STRONG LANGUAGE, ABUSE, DRUGS, ALCOHOL started: 31.07.2022 finished: 06.03.2023 #brothersbestfriend #onebedtrope #enemiestolovers #bestfriendstoenemiestolover

𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐋𝐮𝐜𝐤, 𝐁𝐮𝐠 by SojourningGhosts

𝐀𝐧 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐭, 𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐟𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐫, 𝐚 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐧, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚 𝐛𝐚𝐛𝐲 𝐠𝐢𝐫𝐥. Sorrow, lust, fear, and impulsivity. These visceral emotions are bleeding anthropology; cut the wrist of humanity and watch them seep out. A small seaside town on the hazy coast of Newick, Washington understands the poetry of life better than anywhere else. The ocean rumbles and groans for the bitter, while the backroads carry away the renegades to the tune of cicadas and rain. It's a tired hollow, a place to rest your head on the outskirts of the world. But, word travels fast. Incandescent rumors turn to wildfire - all it takes is a morsel of gossip to feed a starving town, and curious night fellows are often the most hungry. That's an unfortunate truth for a girl with scarred hands, a man who made a mistake and a woman who he begs for forgiveness from, a strange, tattooed foreigner, and a quarterback that walks the streets with a stroller. What will become of them? Only time can tell, and she's the most ravenous of all... tragically, she already knows all their secrets.
