All's fair in love and babysitting. 

• • •

     Shailene Avery is hated by one person, and one person only: Brayden Ferguson Fields. Saturated in sarcasm and edgy teenage angst, Brayden is the one person Shailene cannot understand, like, or even pretend to get along with. And no matter how nice she is to him at their frequent neighbourly get-togethers, or as they stand awkwardly at the bus stop in the mornings, or during the countless nights of having to babysit their younger siblings together ("because double date night" is the lacklustre reason given by her parents), she still cannot get through to him. Because he hates her. And that is that. 

     Brayden Fields has 99 problems, and his pain-in-the-ass neighbour is one of them. Shailene Rose Avery is loved by everyone for reasons Brayden can't even try to understand. Her incessant chattering and fruitless attempts at friendship give him a migraine, and he only ever talks to her when he absolutely has to. Honestly, if he had to choose between being poisoned by anthrax or spending an entire day with her - well, let's just say he'd have a hard time deciding. 

     They avoid each other as much as possible, because - let's be honest - it's better that way. But what happens when they don't get a say? What happens when fate decides to throw them together over and over again? What happens when they learn there's more to a book than just the cover?

| does this have a plot??? who even knows. also idk why it says completed April 2020, I finished this book in 2017 lol |

Ashes Of You And I (Completed) | ✔️ by Soulwithapen

"Her troubled eyes held fire. The kind of fire that was capable of burning me to ash." ***** I grabbed her chin with my free hand, making her look at me. "I hate that I don't know you. I hate not being a part of your life, like I was before." I leaned a little closer, as her intoxicating scent filled my lungs. "Trust me, I can't hate you, no matter how hard I tried." "So you have... " It came out as more of a question than a statement from her as she looked at me with her big blue eyes. "What?" I frowned, dropping my hand from her chin and grabbing her hand, instead. "You have tried hating me then?" She asked, tilting her head to the side. This time it sounded more like a statement than a question. "I have." I sighed, dropping my head in shame. "And it made me lose the most important person in my life." ***** One night. What harm can one night do? It can change lives. Turn best friends into enemies. Turn someone's life upside down. Emily Waters and Ryder Green, were inseparable, joint to the hip, always had each others back and loved each other behind the best friend facade. But one night changed it all. He thinks he has changed for worse but what he doesn't know is that Emily has changed for the worst. Three years later, what if the girl is back, with baggage that she doesn't think anyone could handle? What will happen when they meet? Will the sparks ignite again?

"Stop whining like a little princess," Devyn spoke so only he could hear. "The quicker you shut the hell up, the quicker we get this over with." Lexin's pulse skyrocketed as he realized this was actually happening. His scalp burned from the hard grip, but his body welcomed it. Lexin looked at Devyn with shock before his eyes turned to slits, a nasty glare forming. His body jerked when he felt Devyn's other hand rest at the base of his neck, thumb pressing at the dip of his collarbone and throat. The world halted when Lexin felt those soft lips on his neck. His mind went haywire. ~'~ Lexin wasn't depressed. He was aloof, careless, reckless, and had a bad case of insomnia. Which might be symptoms of depression. After his parents pass in a tragic accident, he's forced to move in with Monica Vale, his mom's best friend. Due to his lack of family, she was named his guardian. This would all be good and well. Lexin could go on brooding and driving his life into the dirt. Or at least he could have, if it weren't for her arrogant son, Devyn Vale. Devyn and Lexin had despised each other for years. Since the beginning of eighth grade, they decided they no longer liked each other. Devyn was a goodie two shoes with perfect grades, a captain title for the lacrosse team, a perfect volleyball girlfriend, and an annoyingly large group of friends. Lexin was a bit of a loner. He had claimed the 'bad boy' title at school. Partying had always been his thing, but when his parents died it took a turn for the worse. He had two friends, Christina Faix from second grade and Luca Harrison from the lacrosse team. Other than that, he didn't communicate much unless he was hooking up with some poor soul. Now his lacrosse captain was not only up his ass at school, but also lived with him. The two boys are forced into close proximity and things build up for the worse. What happens when the tension explodes at a game of truth or dare in the middle of a party?

Wyatt Kelly never had an easy life, at least in his opinion his life was never easy. Wyatt is 16 years old and lives on the streets, sleeps in alley way and manages to find odd jobs around time to pay for the very occasional new shirt or pair of pants from the second hand shop and his meager dinners every night. Now, you might be wondering why in the hell a 16 year old boy is living on the streets instead of living at home with a loving family for at least another two years? The answer is simple yet sad; his family which consisted of his mum, dad, an older brother and a younger sister all died in a house fire late one night while he was staying the night at a friend's house. Yes, he was taken into a foster home but he ran as far away from that home as he could after being beaten every day for a month because his foster father couldn't handle a 'fag' living in his home but he wouldn't send Wyatt back to the foster care system because he liked the money he received every month for keeping him. When he left he managed to leave the state he had lived in his entire 16 years, he escaped to two states from his own before settling where he was; San Diego California and he was originally from Salem, Oregon. He wasn't thrilled of being so far away from his families graves but he couldn't stand being in the foster home for however he would remain there. Wyatt plans on returning home when he turns 18 years old, only two more years before he can return and visit his family when he feels the need or would like to.

She's determined to seek him out and go live with him down on the West Coast, where he has a temporary job. The last thing April expects is almost being hit by a car. The owner of the vehicle?

"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!
