If there's one thing that's certain in Noah Quinn's life, it's that he absolutely hates Jace Jackson.
Like, all consuming, burning, passionate hatred.
While Noah and his best friend Lee are pretty much nobodies, Lee's bad boy older brother Jace is practically royalty. All cigarette smoke, hard edges, and angry brown eyes, the eldest Jackson brother was Noah's natural opposite. So much so, that he had made it his duty to ruin the younger boys life; until Noah becomes the thing that unravels his.
After his family get into an accident, Noah has no choice but to move in with his best friend and the older brother that hates him more than anyone.
But while he buries his trauma, Jace fights his demons alone. So after a few drunken mistakes, prank wars and shared bedsheets later, will the line between hate and love start to thin? Will the two stay enemies? Or will Noah be the one to break down the cold, hard walls, that Jace so desperately tries to keep up?

disclaimers:
bad language and sexual content
dw if you don't like mature scenes, you can still read, there's a lot of fluff and cute romance (plus enemies to lovers angst)
tw// family death, mentions of abuse- it's not graphic, but ill still include a tw at the beginning of certain chapters
also plenty of taylor swift references and songs hehe )
It was gradual. Lucas had always been there, but it was always as his brother's friend, not his own. Not really. When they began hanging out more, Caleb began realising there was a lot he never knew about the boy, and he began wanting to learn everything he could about him.
With his brother's both having moved away for school, Caleb had the chance to learn more about Lucas than ever before. He didn't stop to think that that goes both ways, but maybe that's just what he needed. Maybe the love he sought was right there in front if him.

Find out how Caleb slowly falls into to despair and love. Is that not an oxymoron? Which emotion is stronger?
Seriously, it's a slow burn. Slow is in the title.
*This is a bxb that deals with sensitive themes and mature subjects. Take care.*
