It's Complicated
Senior year of high school. An already emotionally charged year thinking about possibly going to different states as your best friend for college, getting into college, learning about your friends secrets, and trying to bring up your absolutely terrible grade. So what happens when you end up falling for two of your best friends at the same time? It's been just Audrey and her mom since she was 7 and her dad left. Through the years, they've surrounded themselves with a group of supportive best friends. But after a sly comment from one of Audrey's girl friends, she starts looking at her best friend as something way more than just that. But deep down, why does she also have feelings for the Football Captain? One man she's known since she was born. He challenges her, irks her, and somehow she can't live without him. The other one: the boy next door. Best friends since he move in during 3rd grade. The sweet guy, always there for her when she needs him. Oh, and the two guys have hated each other since middle school. This story is fun to read with twists and turns. It focuses on friendship, love, what family can look like for different people, and how to keep going after loss and abuse. I wrote this in 2016 and just went through to do some re-writes but I hope you all like it!Complete

HIGHSCHOOL
They came from different worlds-Calix, the boy who had everything, and Nicole, the girl who never asked for more. Their story began in the hallways of high school, where quiet glances turned into late-night talks, and ordinary days felt like home. But just when everything felt right, he left. Four years later, fate brings them back to the place where everything started. Same spot. Same sky. But are they still the same people? Because sometimes......the heart remembers what the mind tries to forget. They were never supposed to meet again. Not after everything. Not after four years of silence. But fate has a cruel sense of timing. Because the boy who once shattered her is now the man who stares at her like she's the only thing that ever made sense. And this time, walking away might hurt even more than staying. start: 03/15/25 complete:
