'"Dolly?" Paul asked, I sucked in a breathe. I hated my name, it made me sound like some children's toy and that's the last thing I needed. I nodded slowly, never raising my head. "That's an..." He paused and narrowed his eyes at me. "Interesting name" he decided on. I knew what he meant, though, he thought it was weird, old fashioned, and quite frankly terrible name. "Yeah" I muttered lifelessly. "But, I'd rather Kat." My middle name, well technically my middle name was Kathryn, but I liked Kat better. He shook his head. "I like Dolly."' 15 year old Dolly 'Kat' Preston was, in her own words, simple. Brunette hair, brown eyes , and shorter than average, she wasn't exactly one to stand out against the crowd and she liked it that way. So when her new neighbor's brother is hellbent on practically destroying her, Kat is surprised to find herself entangled in more than just the usual drama. She has convinced herself that this boy is a conniving, drunk, teenager who would like nothing more than to see her falling to pieces. The quiet one, the completely and utterly normal one, might just have to speak out and learn to walk in a different direction than the rest. Paul Wilcox is a seventeen year old sophomore, you guessed it, held back. Paul had just moved to the outskirts of town with his family. To get closer to school he decided to spend most of his time with his older brother. That's where he meets a young girl, Dolly Preston. From the moment he met her he hadn't been the most pleasant person. It was his way of sheltering her from his...issues. Paul is fully aware of his drinking problems,but despite acknowledging the issues, he still has to trouble keeping them in check. He knows how much it can cripple others around him all too well. He needed to keep Dolly away, yet she might be the only one who can help him. What he doesn't know is that she just might need him as much as he needs her. But will this need pull them closer together or push them apart.

"I may not remember much, but I do know that I had the best time with you last night." Charlie drops his hand from his mouth and lifts his head to stare into my eyes, pushing his hair back from his face at the same time. "And I know this is awkward now, because I'm pretty sure we were both naked together in bed last night..." I choke on air, trying to dispel the imaginary object from my throat. Charlie reaches out and lightly grasps my hand; my eyes slide from our interlocked fingers to his shining pupils. "...but I still wouldn't change a single thing about it. So, I really do look forward to hearing from you later, Kaiydeen." It's like I've been taken hostage by his electric stare. I don't want to look away. I never want to look away. The busy noises of the street and the honking of the traffic fade as I lose focus, nothing strong enough to force my attention away from this boy. Finally, Archer loudly clears his throat as he flings his door open and plops into the car with a huff, breaking the trance between the two of us. I look away as I withdraw my hand from his grasp, trying to figure out what the hell just happened. This is going to be a long 6 months. ●●● Kaiydeen has always known what she wanted, more like who, but she never knew exactly how to get it. So she's complacent with biding her time until it, actually he, comes to her; no matter how long that takes. But then one day she crashes into someone she doesn't expect. Someone that has always had an eye for her, and he isn't satisfied with biding his time until she's his. But when the one person she's always wanted admits he wants her, too, she's forced to make a choice. Should she go for the boy she just met or the boy she's always known? There is some use of mature language in this story, so if your eyes are innocent and you want them to stay that way this might not be the story for you. Credit to @slueths for the incredible cover!!
