The Other Guy (BoyxBoy) ✔️
"I walked over to where Aaron was sitting on the ground, kneeling so that I was face-to-face with him. He was wearing a blank expression on his face so I guess he didn't really care if I kissed him or not. I took in a deep breath before taking his face in both of my hands and swooping down to kiss him. At first, I was so nervous I didn't realize that we were already kissing but after a few moments, I realized how soft his lips felt on my own. Before I can register it I felt him moving against me. I would have gotten off of him but I realize that he wasn't moving to get away from me. No, He was moving his lips against mine." °°°°° Aiden Moore isn't extraordinary. He has average looks, he is OK with sports, and his only strong point is that he is smart (although that doesn't mean much to his fellow classmates). And, of course, his virgin ass has never had a girlfriend, let alone a crush. It seemed as if he would never find someone. That was until he met her, Scarlett Hale. She was the most beautiful girl you will ever meet. Kind, sweet, and one of the few people with a higher GPA then him, she was amazing and Aiden imagined that she would be all his. Once Aiden gets rid of her boyfriend, Aaron Tyler. The most annoying guy you will ever meet, Aiden gags just thinking about him. The man is smoking hot and makes Aiden's dreams of getting the girl to seem very impossible. So what would happen if Aiden gets involved with the wrong person? Will Aiden get the girl? Will he fall short? Or will he fall into the arms of a guy who is in love with the girl he loves? _______________________________________ WARNING: First book EVER!

The Silver Scar
I ran as fast as my feet carried me; through the bulky pine trees and the deserted forest area. My legs burned as I ran away from my old house. My arms held my stomach tight, fearing that I would throw up. I ran until I could no longer breathe. I grasped the murder weapon as Drake's blood ran down my arms. Panting heavily, I stopped at a large boulder leaning against it. My breathing could be heard a mile away and that scared me. No one could find me, or I'd be as dead as he is. _________________________________________ Jenna Weston was on the run. She has a past. A past she is desperately trying to get away from. Garrett Chase was the prime suspect in the murder she committed. And as much as she wanted to keep running, she couldn't stand the thought of Garrett going down for the crime. Especially when he is family, and the reason she killed in the first place. **EDITING** COPYRIGHTED © 2014 _empathy All Rights Reserved.Complete
