Jade and Julien. Best friends forever.
Or at least, that's what she thought.
It has been two years since the day that Julien moved back to Paris with his family after living next door to Jade for six years. They were best friends - joined at the hip.
Julien left without a word of goodbye and to this day, Jade can't stop thinking about the reason why.
Two years pass and now Jade is not the same Jade. Not without Julien. She's sarcastic and has trouble coping with life in general, but one day a familiar set of azure eyes looks up at her and her heart stops beating.
It's Julien.
Or at least, she thinks - he looks so different.
After two years of not being able to call him or find him on social media, Julien is back and just like Jade, life has changed him.
Once, they were best friends - nothing could come between them.
But now, Jade finds that Julien is just somebody that she used to know...
Doesn't mean she's going to stop trying to find the old Julien. Even if she has to beat it out of him.
Julien isn't the sweet boy she remembers. He's all muscle and tattoos with a death glare that could make anyone flinch - except her.
She is desperate to make him listen, but he doesn't want anything to do with her. He wants to finish senior year and get the hell out.
Games are being played, both of them trying to one up the other on a quest to see who breaks first but the tension that comes with it is daunting.
Will the tension between them last? Or will it all come crumbling down into a heated confession that leaves both of them stunned into silence?
***************
This story is going to be a bit heartbreaking to read at first but like all my works, it will leave you with tears of joy.
So grab your nutella and kleenex bc this one's going to be a good one. Maybe slightly cliche but that's sort of what i'm going for :)

In the Moonlight [Completed]
"Are you stalking me?" His deep voice asked. "You wish, that would mean I actually thought about you enough to wonder where you are." I looked away smugly. Max moved closer to me until his face was right in front of mine. "You're saying you don't think about me?" He smirked, fully knowing what the proximity was doing to me. "I don't, why? Did you want me to?" I Regained my composure as I moved even closer, our lips nearly touching. ~~~ Alexa is a normal girl who just wanted to get through school without any trouble.

It's Complicated
Senior year of high school. An already emotionally charged year thinking about possibly going to different states as your best friend for college, getting into college, learning about your friends secrets, and trying to bring up your absolutely terrible grade. So what happens when you end up falling for two of your best friends at the same time? It's been just Audrey and her mom since she was 7 and her dad left. Through the years, they've surrounded themselves with a group of supportive best friends. But after a sly comment from one of Audrey's girl friends, she starts looking at her best friend as something way more than just that. But deep down, why does she also have feelings for the Football Captain? One man she's known since she was born. He challenges her, irks her, and somehow she can't live without him. The other one: the boy next door. Best friends since he move in during 3rd grade. The sweet guy, always there for her when she needs him. Oh, and the two guys have hated each other since middle school. This story is fun to read with twists and turns. It focuses on friendship, love, what family can look like for different people, and how to keep going after loss and abuse. I wrote this in 2016 and just went through to do some re-writes but I hope you all like it!Complete
My classmate is a demon...
------------- "Why're you staring at me?" I ask teasingly. I hear him letting out a breath, of embarrassment or guilt I don't know. "I may have unintentionally hurt you, on several occasions. I may have done the wrong thing more than once. But despite all of that I still like you, hell if I know I might love you. I've never felt the way I feel about you for anyone else before. I can't stop thinking about you. Your laugh, your smile, your voice. How you manage to pull a joke at a time like this, to how peaceful, and beautiful you look when you're sleeping." I smile. "You okay? Did you hit your head or somethin'?" I tease. "Shut up." ------------------------- Olivia, a 16-year-old girl with a tragic past.

"Alright.. since that made you feel uncomfortable.. do you have a boyfriend?" "Um.. that made me feel more uncomfortable, Aiden.." I told him. "Sorry, but I wanted to know before I got to know you a little. I don't want any competition. Because you're a really pretty girl, you know that, Char?" he said to me. That made me blushed a little.

I would say heartbreak is lying in bed at two in the morning, watching my ceiling fan go around and around, wondering why you couldn't stop to listen. Two seconds. All I needed was two seconds to say the words. All I needed was to seconds for me to tell you I was in love with you. With everything about you.
