Profile: Ash Cartwright 
(Self evaluation.)
College student with a steady job as barista at the Busy Bean. Isolated but that's due to her lack of want to create any lasting relationships. 

Does this come from her broken past? 

Yes it does and she's fully aware of this. 

Profile: Zach, last name still unknown.
(Evaluation by Ash.)
A seemingly average student, who fits in with everyone but doesn't connect with anyone. Able to appear without making a stir and leave the same way. Average in looks and height. 

There is nothing about him that should merit Ash's attention. 

Questions for consideration: 
If he is so average, why does Ash find him interesting?

Why can't she make sense of him? 

Most importantly, why did she ever decide to get involved?

COMPLETE ⚠️ This is a fictional story. ⚠️ All characters are fictional, their opinions and actions are in no way real, or related to the real world. ⚠️ This story contains mature themes. ⚠️ Mature themes such as violence, harassment, self-harm, suicide-attempts, sex, alcohol- and drug-abuse. ⚠️ Read with caution! ⚠️ I will not post warnings on the chapters containing mature themes. This is your only warning. 🔪 "You're so damn gorgeous, Ives," he says, and leans up to meet my lips again. He's the one that's gorgeous, and I feel myself completely loose myself once again. His lips are dominating my own, as his hands travel down my back, and he tugs on my shirt, to release it from my skirt. His hands then caresses my bare skin for a few minutes, before he sits up. He brings me with him, and I'm now straddling his lap. His eyes are filled with lust, and I'm so damn scared, for completely different reasons than earlier tonight. His skillful fingers finds the buttons of my shirt, and he opens them slowly, while I lean back down towards him, to make our lips connect again. I might come to my senses if he doesn't keep kissing me. He tugs the shirt off of me, and his hands run across my bare stomach. He stops, suddenly, and I feel a sharp sting under my left boob. "What happened? Are you..." He trails off, as he looks down at my body, and I stiffen. Holy shit, I forgot all about that. "Ives... What is this?" he asks, and he pulls his hands away from me. 🌹 Ives has just moved away from her overprotective brother and their alcoholic dad to go to college. She is trying her best to put her past behind her, but it keeps coming back to haunt her. In this book we get to know Ives and her new friends as she struggles with her newfound freedom.

Living under his father's control was a nightmare. Having his dreams ignored and being unable to make his own decisions suffocated him. Everyone expected him to be the perfect son and one day follow his father's steps. It was too much pressure. So he ran away. He was an outcast, and they made it clear he would always be, except for her. She was all the stars in the night sky and she wanted him. She was stunning; she was sweet, and she was easy to love.
