The sheltered and the reckless. Just chaos in the making.
• • •
Parties, violence, and bad decisions. A reckless lifestyle was something that Ronan carried on his back. A wonky upbringing and a fast paced life had left him with a series of regrets and mistakes. After an experience that left him so close to death, he took his second chance at life as a redemption of the time he'd wasted.
But even a life spent confined and made to be picture perfect wasn't always a fulfilling one. Rory lived a good girl life. Good grades, perfect reputation. She had breezed through life but had never took a day to really live it.
When the two crossed paths, it was a beautiful chaos. The sheltered and the reckless.

"You're just too much fun to mess with," he jokes, his smile transforming into a glowing smirk. My cheeks heat, but this time with anger. My tolerance has worn completely thin. "Would you let me go?" I ask spitefully. I feel like a broken record. He pushes off of the desk and takes a step back. Before I even realize what I'm doing, I slap him square across the cheek. Shock is plastered on his face, and I'm sure it is on mine too. I stand there in awe of what I just did. It was so sudden I'm not even sure I decided to do it but rather my indignation controlling me. Steadily, Damon's face morphs from shocked to entertained. I immediately regret my action, but I'm not completely stupid; I race for the door like there's no tomorrow. "You'll regret that!" I hear Damon yell as I'm running away. ~Sugar, spice, and everything nice~ A story about drama, sarcasm, love, and twists, with a little bad boy guilty pleasure mixed in between.Complete
