The Boy Next Door
His faint laugh stopped me in my tracks, my body turning sightly to look at him again. "That was cute. Really, I loved it, but you know I can't just stay away." He said while using air quotations for the last part of his sentence. My narrowed eyes continued to shoot daggers at him, "and why is that, Grayson? Huh?" I asked in a mocking tone. He rubbed along his jaw while pulling in on his bottom lip, his head lightly shaking from side to side. "What?" I said louder, my patience long gone. "I live right next door," he deadpanned, "I'm not going anywhere. As far as I'm concerned we're gonna be seeing each other practically every day, so this whole thing about staying away just isn't going to work for you. I don't let things I love go so easily." A chill went down my spine as I watched him walk up the stairs of his porch, "sweet dreams, Cam." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Eighteen year old, Cameron Woods, is ready to start her senior year alongside her friends and boyfriend, Damon Valero.

Jigsaws
Jace and Miles are two quiet and solitary boys, each for their own reasons, but when they both decide to find a job in the local cinema they can't seem to find common ground. Still, when a friend of Jace seems to start getting interested in Miles, their plan to ignore each other for the rest of their lives fails miserably and they're both faced with the inevitability of their mutual attraction. ~~~ It all happened so fast. There wasn't a reason or explanation, but only the sensation that things no longer were the way they were before, that something had changed, irretrievably. His life had ceased to be, it had all become a long, excruciating, endless wait, until again his heart could beat again, and his lungs could fill with the air that separated him from him, until nothing separated them anymore and finally something in Jace could rest, his muscles could relax and nothing else could make him doubt of his own existence. He was whole again, until he wasn't. The wait would resume and Jace, not able to stand it, would go back to dreaming, dreaming of him. ~~~ I found the picture on the cover on Pinterest and I have no idea if who created it gave the authorisation to use it.
