"You don't want me, I'm broken."
I'm taken aback by her statement and continue.
"I'm not giving up, I know you feel the same as I do." I say softly bringing my lips closer to her ear with every word. I'm sure she can hear the speed at which my heart is beating just by being this close to her. Thankfully our ribs are cages and my wild heart can't escape. I brush my lips softly against her forehead while reaching behind her opening the door for her to leave. If I don't let her go now, I might not be able to let her go at all. 
"Close the door."
"Excuse me."
"Close the door," she says again.

Elijah Cruz has to change schools, leave his home and watch over Nevaeh Walsh. Will he be able to protect her when the time comes or do emotions get in the way.

She looks up at me, taking a step forward and smiling slightly, "How can I ever get hurt when I have you here to protect me?" "But you could have gotten hurt," I murmur softly, hanging my head and feeling my shoulders drop, the tension seeping from my body. "No. Stop," She cuts me off sternly but tenderly, "Don't talk like that, Reece. I'm okay, you're okay, we're okay," She speaks softly, reaching her hand up to gently brush her thumb over my cheek, just under the cut that's there. "We're okay," I repeat, taking a small step closer to her. She nods with a small smile, moving her hand down from my cheek and instead placing the palm of her hand on my chest, right over my heart. I know she can feel how fast my heart is beating. I just don't know why it's doing that. ~ Reece Carter is the bad boy of Northwood High. He smokes and he fights.

"How could you do this to me?! I trusted you! You arrogant, selfish, asshole!!" I shouted with teary eyes and sadness in my voice. I looked at his face and was covered with nothing else but anger. He grabbed my shoulders and pulled me roughly against his body. That's when he crushed his lips to mine. His kiss was urgent, claiming, rough. His lips claimed mine with anger as he was like punishing me for what I said. No! That's when I snapped. I pushed him away and started hitting him in his hard chest. He leaned his forehead against mine still holding me tight like he's was afraid of letting me go. He let out a breath and signed. "I couldn't.. I..just..did" he blurted out without looking me in the eyes with pain in his voice the heartbreaking, unforgiven truth. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Angel is the definition of the 'girl-next-door'.
