Next door to you - A Fralachi story
When Freya Skye moves from London to Los Angeles, she expects big changes-new home, new school, and new friends. What she doesn't expect is that her next-door neighbor is Malachi Barton: charming, kind, and entirely impossible to ignore. From awkward introductions to late-night conversations, the two form an instant connection that quickly blossoms into something neither of them can ignore. With the support of their friends-Kylie, Dara, Malia, and MK-they navigate the ups and downs of teenage life: school drama, talent shows, and first love. But life isn't always perfect. Secrets, misunderstandings, and challenges test their bond, and when Freya faces a life-altering accident, everything changes. As Freya and Malachi fight to hold onto each other, they discover what it truly means to love and live fully-even in the face of heartbreak. Next Door to You is a story about first love, friendship, courage, and the moments that make life unforgettable.Complete
Rushed love
Malachi had never believed in the idea of fate-not until the moment he first laid eyes on Freya. It wasn't anything dramatic. No slow-motion entrance. No perfectly timed background music. She was just there, quietly tucked into a corner of a bustling café, her attention fixed on a worn sketchbook and the lines she carefully traced across its pages. She didn't look around or try to be seen. She was completely content in her own little world-and that was exactly what made Malachi stop mid-step. There was something magnetic about her. The way she carried herself-calm, self-contained, almost unapproachable-wasn't from arrogance, but from an inner peace he couldn't quite understand. She wore headphones, one earbud in, the other draped over her shoulder like she couldn't decide if she wanted to be part of the world or escape from it entirely. To anyone else, she might have seemed like just another quiet girl minding her business. But to Malachi, she was an unanswered question he suddenly needed to solve. From that instant, it wasn't a matter of if he'd try to know her-it was how. Something in his gut told him this wasn't going to be easy. She didn't seem like the type to trust quickly. She had walls, and he could sense them. But something about her made him want to climb those walls, no matter how high they were. He hadn't even heard her voice yet. And still, Malachi knew: He needed to get close to her. He needed to know who she was. And he'd do whatever it took to make that happen.Complete
