This was one of the first stories I wrote, read at your own risk :') "Oh don't act so innocent. I know you did this" I snap at him. "Yea so?

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.

Danger Next Door
Arabella never meant to get close to someone like him. Warren is reckless, unreadable, and surrounded by rumors that make people run.

He left a student unconscious before disappearing into juvie, and now that he's back, the rumors are worse than ever.

Smart, sweet, and sheltered, she follows every rule her parents set, never once stepping out of line.
