I Can't Breathe (ONGOING) The Bad Boy And The Broken Girl
Leah Campbell couldn't remember the last time she had been truly happy. She was so consumed by her broken home and the inner struggles consumed her, pushing her deeper into her thoughts, and she felt like she was fading away. Only her best friend, Lily, seemed to see her silent battle. Reed Wake was the classic bad boy, no fucks given. He did what he wanted when he wanted. Whether it be by his charm or his family name, he never had an issue with rejection. Until Leah. Reed Wake had always been curious about her, ever since the first moment, he had met her eyes through his bedroom window. He had been completely taken aback by her beauty and all he could do was stare. Right until the moment she abruptly closed her curtains on him. Unfortunately for Reed, she had refused to do so much as glance at him. Barely acknowledging any words he had ever said to her. Reed was always angry at Leah for reasons she did not know, and she couldn't help but retaliate to his unexplainable distaste for her with her own angry remarks. Somehow she always manages to get under his skin and this worked well for Leah, having an outlet for all the anger and frustration trapped inside her. As Leah's home-life gets worse and her mental health declines rapidly, her only relief is found in the addictions she tries so desperately to hide. Leah has her best friend fooled, and yet when it comes to Reed she can't shake the feeling that he sees right through her.

Smoke, Scars & Secrets

The next, she was pinned to the wall by a stranger's rage, in front of an entire class. And just when no one could save her... He walked in. Cigarette smoke in his breath. Blood on his fists. A gaze that burned like fire. Kyro - the bad boy senior no one dared talk to. The boy with secrets, scars, and a world darker than hell. He calls her princess. But the deeper she falls into his world of shadows, the more she realizes: Some hearts are wrapped in barbed wire. Some truths should've stayed hidden.

A walking paradox with a face carved by gods and a soul damaged by demons. A notorious playboy who takes pleasure in breaking girls, shredding hearts like paper-because he believes every girl is a liar in disguise. Until Aurora. She doesn't look at him like he matters. She doesn't fall. She doesn't even flinch. And that pisses him off. Now it's war. A toxic game of destruction and seduction. She wants to erase him. He wants to ruin her. But when secrets from the past start surfacing, both realize they've been walking in the dark... and maybe-just maybe-they were destined to collide. How deep do their scars go?
