Reese Fode is a girl who mainly keeps to herself. While dealing with family problems she debates on whether to tell her best friends, Adrienne and Cameron, what's happening at home. She closes herself off to most other people and keeps them from getting hurt by her but one boy made his way through the walls she's built up. 

Graham Winters is a new student at their school and he takes an odd interest in Reese. What will happen? Will he find out why it's hard for her to open up?

Crossing 21 by TadhgLynchsWife
47 parts Complete Mature
Landon O'Brien is the boy who laughs too loud, flirts too much, and never lets anyone see past the surface. At seventeen, he's mastered the art of making everyone think he's fine. Life at home with his single mam and two younger siblings is chaos wrapped in love and too much noise-but it's his noise. He's used to being the glue. The one who keeps the mood up. The one who makes sure no one ever asks what he needs. Then there's Hannah Brewer. Cold. Untouchable. Sharp enough to draw blood without even raising her voice. She's the girl who doesn't date, doesn't hook up, and doesn't believe in giving second chances when she never gave first ones to begin with. Her house is silent. Her parents are always gone. And she copes in ways no one ever sees-not even her best friend, Reese. The only person who keeps trying to get close? Landon O'Brien. The one person she can't stand. He jokes. She cuts. He shows up. She shuts down. They shouldn't work. And they don't. Not even a little. Until everything else around them starts to fall apart. Behind Landon's laugh is a weight he doesn't share. Behind Hannah's walls are scars no one sees. As the year unfolds-with parties, fights, and friends slowly falling apart-two people on opposite ends of everything start to realize they might be more alike than either of them wants to admit. As their world gets messier-fractured friendships, parties gone wrong, secrets cracking open-Landon and Hannah get pulled into the kind of orbit that can't be explained. Not with words. Not with logic. Just pain. And want. And something they don't have a name for yet. And others leave you crossing lines you swore you'd never touch.
