12 parts Ongoing MatureTears started to swell in my eyes so I looked back down at my lap, "It's okay..."
I was quickly cut off when his other hand reached up towards my face. He grabbed my chin softly before forcing me to look back up at him.
"Don't bullshit me Angel. It's not okay, and it's okay to not be okay either."
After really dissecting his words I couldn't hold back any longer. The tears started to uncontrollably stream down my face.
Without another word he slides over closer to me and pulls me into the side of his chest, holding me tightly.
Emery Miller, a 19 year old aspiring photographer moves to Outer Banks North Carolina a year after her older sister, Leah goes missing.
Emery doesn't expect much out of life, at least not anymore. Not since she's been let down by every person who has ever made a promise to her.
She keeps her head down, doesn't step on anyone's toes, doesn't rely on anyone & that's how she likes it. She lives a simple life in the shadows with her nose buried deep in books & her camera strap always over her neck just in case.
That was until a certain mysterious musician who lives next door takes an interest to her.
Luca St. James is everything Emery tries to stay away from. The popularity, the looks, the money, the devilish personality that keeps her on her toes. The 21 year old lead singer has it all. No matter how infuriating he is, she just can't seem to stay away from him & he can't seem to stay away either.
No matter how hard he tries.
