ALYSSA JONES  was a normal girl who had left her hometown and her friends behind...until that night. The night that destroyed her. The night that took away her innocence. In an attempt to move on, she moved away from the suffering of a city and she returned to her hometown. 

EZRA GRAYSON was your usual popular basketball player. He had many friends but none of them understood him the way she did. He wasn't the same once she left. He felt guilty for the way he had treated her before she left him. He would do anything to change the way they ended things. What happens if he is given a chance?

He stared down at me, and his finger brushed against my lips, "I've wanted to do that for so long." he muttered.

My cheeks heated, "Is this it? promise me you're mine. Promise you'll never leave me again." he asked, his fingers threaded behind my neck. 

"I'm yours, I'm never leaving again," I whispered.

Alyssa Jones had to leave her hometown due to her father's cancer treatment, in doing so she is forced to leave behind her childhood best friends and the one and only Ezra Grayson. Her childhood best friend and crush.  What happens when Alyssa decided to move back to her hometown?

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.

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.
