Gabriel has secrets. 
He moved to get away from his parents-or something like that. Leaving behind his wealthy family in San Francisco, he now lives in a studio apartment outside of Chicago. 

Navigating his twenties and the unexpected reality of being an adult leaves him more introverted than ever, only meeting one person who understands him-his best friend Diego. Two years into his new life and things could be a lot better. 

Fresh out of a short but bittersweet relationship, and desperately needing work, he accepts a job as a dish washer at a local diner. 

This is where Gabriel meets Sadie.

Her childhood was spent in a constant state of fear, her only solace being her two half-sisters, Charlotte and Bailey, who were forced to live the nightmare alongside her. Her father finally got caught when she was seven and for a fleeting, white-hot second, it seemed that things were going to be okay. She should've known better.

At the age of eighteen, Jade is counting down the days before her exams are over, excited to spend the summer with her two best friends and boyfriend. Unfortunately, things don't always go according to plan... not in a town like Greencliff.

Head Over Heels by stephzimmy

Lila Daniels has spent all of her life living under the protective wings of her three older brothers, Charlie, Lucas and Tucker or in the gymnastics gym training.

He's the senior football captain, star quarterback and most popular guy in school who happens to also be Payton's older brother. Lila doesn't want to catch feelings for her new besties brother, but quickly realizes you can't really control who you crush on.
