“I hate it when people tell me I'm smoking just to escape reality. On the contrary—I smoke to enjoy reality.”
When Olivia Maddox returns to Riverview High after two years of living in New York at her (used-to-be) dream boarding school for girls, she's kind of thrown everyone off at how drastically she's changed. For one--she didn't have that smoking and drinking habit before she left. Olivia insists the "new" her is the "better" her. She's convinced herself. The question is, has she convinced everyone else?

“I just blow away all of my problems every time I exhale.”
Alex Hawke smokes for the opposite reason from Olivia. While she smokes to enjoy life, he smokes to escape life. With a busy mother, estranged father, and a slight anger issue, cigarettes are Alex's best friend, besides his actual friends. And so, when he and one of his best friend's sister decide to smoke at the same time and same place almost every other day, well... God knows what's bound to happen.

Ashes Of You And I (Completed) | ✔️
"Her troubled eyes held fire. The kind of fire that was capable of burning me to ash." ***** I grabbed her chin with my free hand, making her look at me. "I hate that I don't know you. I hate not being a part of your life, like I was before." I leaned a little closer, as her intoxicating scent filled my lungs. "Trust me, I can't hate you, no matter how hard I tried." "So you have... " It came out as more of a question than a statement from her as she looked at me with her big blue eyes. "What?" I frowned, dropping my hand from her chin and grabbing her hand, instead. "You have tried hating me then?" She asked, tilting her head to the side. This time it sounded more like a statement than a question. "I have." I sighed, dropping my head in shame. "And it made me lose the most important person in my life." ***** One night.
