Twenty-two-year-old Louella Rey was a social-outcast. After deferring her college placement for a year, she hoped that would be the answer to all her problems. But after returning, her days were spent cowering in the dark corners and doing everything in her power to remain unnoticed. Through blurred eyes, she watched her life pass by without having the courage to do anything about it. Even though her heart was softer than most around her, she was determined to keep to herself - unaware that her silence spoke more words than she did.
When Étienne LeRoy returns from his gap year, he's surprised to find his childhood best friend, Louella, completely changed. Gone was the girl who was a known troublemaker - whose cheeky smile would light up any room around her. The sparkles in her eyes had dimmed and now told a thousand tales, none of which had been told. No longer did her loud words fill the silence around him and with secrets so dark that even the sun couldn't shine on them, Étienne is determined to find out what happened in the year that he was gone.
There are some pains which make a person silent for life.

His Bad Boy Ego | ✓
Highest rank #27 in Teen Fiction. Written by @apricitys. _ _ _ "What is this?" He asked, not even bothering to look at the canvas in front of me. Instead, his eyes were locked in mine. I swallowed my saliva, chills running down my spine. I felt my palms getting sweaty as my legs nervously started bouncing up and down. Without giving me time to answer, he took a step closer to me, eyes still locked in mine. Each time he inched closer, I used my right foot to slowly push myself and the stool back. It seemed to be the only option to get away from him; until he forced his hands below the sides of my thighs, holding the stool in place. He released a soft chuckle as he eyed me from my eyes, down to my lips. "You're beautiful," he said. From his voice, I couldn't tell if he was being serious, or messing around. It sounded sincere, however there was a smirk on his face. The smirk that he always has on his face when he's found an amusing target. Then he averted his attentions back to my eyes. His expressions softened up the moment his eyes landed back on mine. His smirk disappeared. I cleared my throat and broke the eye contact. I looked down at my palms as I rubbed the sweat against my jeans, "What do you want, Landon?" I asked, almost whispering. I felt his hand brushing against my right cheek, as he tilts my chin up to look back at him. His messy brown hair, his light blue eyes and his pink soft lips were just centimeters from mine. I felt his breath lingering on the upper tip of my lip. In a panic, I pressed my palms against his chest and push him off. He stumbled back with a surprised look on his face.

This should be a good thing, I wouldn't have to deal with Alejandro Rodriguez ever again. So why... Why does the thought of him not being around hurt. I stopped playing with my food and slowly lifted my head to look at him. He stared straight into my watery eyes. His face filled with regret and concern. He stood up from his seat and walked over to me, squatting down to my level. "Hey, hey." He softly whispered his hands holding both of my mines, softly caressing them with his thumb. "Please don't cry, por favor." He reached a hand to my face and gently wiped the tears. "I-I don't want you to leave me alone." My voice breaking and my vision filling with tears.
