Happier
Joy, pain, and heartache. They come, piece by piece, without warning, no matter what you do. But will it ever get better? Blair used to believe that things would never change. After all, she had a habit of falling too quickly, giving her heart away, only to watch it shatter in pieces every time. But that was before she moved back to Sydney, after years of living in New York. Having lost her mother and with no father in the picture, Blair's only family left was her older brother, Austin. So, she returned home to live with him, spending the final summer of her 11th grade year in a place she barely remembered. Starting grade 12 in a new town was the perfect chance for her to reset-focus on her studies, make a fresh start, and keep her heart locked up. That is, until Grayson-Austins's best friend-walked into her life. Grayson's charm and intensity throw Blair's world into chaos as she breaks the one rule that was drilled into her from the start: Don't date your brother's best friend. But when the undeniable chemistry between them builds, will they be able to keep their distance? Or will the tension between Blair and Grayson consume everything in its path?

He came right in the middle of a tornadoe and managed to turn it into blue skies. He changed my perspective and gave me hope and strength." I looked at him, and he was smiling, and his eyes were a little glossy. He took my hand and kissed it, a small tear caught in the corner of his beautiful eyes. "I thought, hey, maybe life isn't so bad after all. Maybe I can finally allow myself to love and be loved, and to live life normally. When we went to your party, you told me to wait for you. But then your perverted cousin made me feel super uncomfortable, so I went looking for you, just to be able to feel at peace again. And that's when I saw it." My heart beats skyrocketed, because this was the moment everything changed forever. "Saw what?" Asked Axel. I took a deep breath, and continued.
