"Just remember Caylen, you always get burnt when you play with fire, and third degree burns are deeper that skin."
~*~
When Caylen Jacobs moved into the empty house next to Arden Oscar, she made the decision then and there that he was trouble, and she'd do everything in her power to stay away from him. But that proved harder than she thought, seeming as he liked to climb in her bedroom window, annoy her at every chance he had, and give himself the mission of finding out what made her so beautifully broken.
But that's the last thing Arden wants, someone sticking their nose where it doesn't belong and bringing back memories better left forgotten.
And Caylen will soon realise that some things should be left broken, because things can get sticky and already broken pieces can shatter.

Killer Queen|✔️ (Book 1)
⚠️ This is a true story, unfortunately. 🖤1st in a series ✅Completed I labeled this as teen "fiction" because my target age group usually thinks of self-help books or text books when they hear "non-fiction" and don't realize a memoir reads like any other fiction story. ☣️SYNOPSES: I'm finally over the embarrassment and ready to tell someone what happened. I wrote this to help anyone who might make the same mistakes i did; to stop them before it's too late.

Instead, I : ✔️Developed a psychotic obsession with a sophomore ✔️Used a 12 yr. old child for a weekly therapist. ✔️Got accidentally addicted to drugs ✔️Became a stalker extraordinaire. ✔️Got myself into 2 fake relationship at once. ✔️Tricked the most popular guy in school, Kiwi (I'll explain the name) into doing my dirty work, pulling a Romeo and Juliet and ruining his life. You're invited to come laugh with me, cry with me, fall apart with me; it's no fun doing this by myself.Complete

His Sunshine | ✓
She looks up at me, taking a step forward and smiling slightly, "How can I ever get hurt when I have you here to protect me?" "But you could have gotten hurt," I murmur softly, hanging my head and feeling my shoulders drop, the tension seeping from my body. "No. Stop," She cuts me off sternly but tenderly, "Don't talk like that, Reece. I'm okay, you're okay, we're okay," She speaks softly, reaching her hand up to gently brush her thumb over my cheek, just under the cut that's there. "We're okay," I repeat, taking a small step closer to her. She nods with a small smile, moving her hand down from my cheek and instead placing the palm of her hand on my chest, right over my heart. I know she can feel how fast my heart is beating. I just don't know why it's doing that. ~ Reece Carter is the bad boy of Northwood High. He smokes and he fights.

"Do they not say that a good friendship builds on a ground of lies?" I joke, lightening the mood immediately as his green eyes glint in humor and a smirk falls on his familiar lips.

Smirking at him, "Well, of course, is that not the norm?" *********** Dakota Moore is the perfect example of a beautiful disaster.
