Nora's never had the best luck with a relationship whether it is romantic or with family. She's able to relax now that she's away from her family. She can finally start the life she has always wanted.

Owen has been able to be himself ever since he escaped his abusive father but now he wants to save his brother. Trying to juggle that problem and chasing Nora proves to be a hard task.

Nora pushes him away when they continue to get closer, afraid it'll hurt her in the end.

...

On the other side of the door, I meet Owen's eyes. His whole appearance seems tired.
"What are you doing here?" I shift between my feet.
"I haven't heard from you in a couple of days. I'm just checking up on you."
"That's very nice of you. I'm doing fine." I stare down at the floor, not wanting to meet his disappointing eyes.
He sighs, "Are you?"

Stay Where I Can See You (Each character's boards available on my public pinterest account: https://pinterest.com/elliebcarterbooks) When her bestie's childhood friend gets caught in a messy breakup that spirals into public drama, she's asked to keep an eye on him to keep him out of trouble. What she didn't expect was how quickly he'd start showing up everywhere - uninvited, unfiltered, and under her skin. ****************************************************** Archer had sprawled across her bed without asking, one ankle hooked over the other, fingers absently gripping the sheets like he owned the space. His hair kept falling into his eyes as he grinned at her - too casual for someone who'd just invited himself in. "If you keep looking at me like that, I'm gonna start thinking you like me," he mused, voice low and teasing, eyes flicking over her face as if searching for a crack in her expression. Amara exhaled slowly, the sound deliberate. She shifted in her chair, just enough to show she wasn't rattled, closing a little of the distance without moving closer. "I'm looking at you because you're sitting on my bed," she said flatly. His grin deepened, almost sheepish, a flicker of something vulnerable hiding in it. "Well... you didn't tell me to get out." She tilted her head, eyes narrowing, a quiet challenge behind them. "You didn't ask if you could stay." He leaned back on his hands, the pose lazy but his gaze fixed on her, heavy enough to thicken the air between them. "You'd miss me if I left," he murmured, the words half a whisper-like he was testing the truth of it more than making a joke. She studied him for a long moment, really studied him, as if peeling back the bravado to see what sat underneath. Her eyes softened, but her scrutiny didn't fade. She leaned forward a fraction. "Would you miss you if you left?"

It all seemed perfect to me, but there was something else deep down inside this stranger. "Why are you here?" I stood on my toes and tried to look taller compared to him. He rose an eyebrow. "My sister, she's here." He paused, "Somewhere." "Oh," I frowned and look to my shoes. "Why are you here?" I felt his breath on my forehead. "Me?" I placed my finger on my chest. I nodded and looked up to meet his gaze. It was hard not to get lost in his eyes. Beautiful. "I need space," I began, but I didn't know how to finish, I sighed. "To find myself."

""Kitten, you're worried about something, and you cannae lie. You're picking at your hands and looking around to clean up my room. Unlucky for you, my room is very clean," he said, "Now what are you worrying about so much?" I stopped picking at my cuticles. It was kind of weird that he could see me doing something and read me like a book before I could even realize I was doing it. I felt my heart pound in my chest. "Well, it's just this whole pretending to date you thing," I shrugged, "How far do we have to take it? Do we have to do it in front of our friends? Do we have to do it in public because obviously we ran into Olivia today and we weren't planning on it. Oh shit, what if she sees you with another girl? I mean, what would happen then? What if she sees me talking to another guy? How long is this going to go on? What if we have to kiss in front of Olivia? I mean, it's not that I don't want to kiss you but--" I rambled on nervously. Iain smirked and walked towards me, and the next thing I knew, his lips were on mine, and we were kissing." When Kit's older brother, Ben, finally makes it with the girl he's been crushing on for four years, only to find out she's wary of family, he lies and calls his baby sister his best friend's girlfriend, turning everyone's life upside down. While Kit's struggling with the impending doom of college and parents that could divorce at any second, she's also juggling a fake relationship with her brother's hot best friend, Iain. As if that weren't complicated enough, a chemistry sparks between Iain, igniting flames and destroying the crumbling world around them. RATED M for drug and alcohol use and sexual themes

I chuckled slightly and shook my head. "Does that usually work for you? The cute little remarks and that nice smile." I teased. He gave me a sheepish look of surprise. "Most girls would be flattered at my attempt to flirt with them." I scoffed and shook my head. "Well, as a member of the "most girls" community, I can say that I am not." "Wow. That's a bit harsh." He gave me a smug look and crossed his arms. "Sorry," I shrugged. "I'm immune to boy charms. In fact, I think I'm allergic." "Well, don't think so highly of yourself. Just because you have cute dimples and a pretty face, doesn't mean I find you attractive." ------------------------------ Maya Cameron is a senior at Ohio State University and this is the year where you need to get your life together before you get pushed out into the real world. Writing is the only thing that keeps her sane after all of the trauma she's been though. With her mom and dad's unfortunate death, she's been left under the care of her evil step-aunt and forced to stay with her annoying step-cousin. As if college isn't stressful enough. And then there's this other guy in her life. They met online by accident and have been talking for months but she's not brave enough to make it something real. Will Ashby is the all-around superstar on campus. He's practically royalty because he's the running back on the Ohio State Football team: one of the best college football teams in America. Will is the person guys want to be and guy girls want to be with. But in actuality, he'd rather blend in with the background noise. His only focus has been football and finishing his degree. That was until he met this girl. He doesn't even know her name or what she looks like, but she's the girl he'd want to be real with. Because of circumstances, Will needs an English tutor or he won't be able to play. And much to her dismay, Maya is the perfect person for the job. Started: January 2021 Completed: October 2021
