"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.

"Don't go inside! Stay!" She said, holding her hand up to show me her palm and then I leaned over the balcony, resting my forearms on the railing to hold me up. I rolled my eyes as I exhaled deeply. Apparently I was a dog now. But fuck, It's her! What are the fucking chances. It feels like I'm in one of those Wattpad novels that Beth always reads. She quickly rushed inside and opened her blinds so that I could see right into her apartment. I watched her rush over to her stereo to lower the volume and then she came rushing back out, out of breath. "Did you get my note?" She asked and then I nodded, trying to force back a smile remembering her cute handwriting, in fact her little note was in the pocket of my sweatpants at this very moment, And so was her 100 dollar bill that she had given me, "I did!" I said as I watched her try to brush her hair out of her face "look, the money that you gave me. I don't want it. I appreciate it but it's too much! I need to give it back!" I said and then she shook her head trying to reject what I was saying. "No, it's yours I gave it to you!" She seemed upset and a little sad that I wanted to give her money back. "Hey, come on. This is a sign from whatever forces are at work here, what are the chances that you would be living right across from me!? This is fucking crazy, I can't accept the money and the universe is giving me a chance to return it." I said shrugging as she waved me off and then smiled sweetly as she breathed in for a moment just looking at me with softness. THIS BOOK IS A BLEND OF TEENAGE DRAMA REALISM AND FANTASY - ROMANCE.

"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'.
