What would you do if you were in a car accident that not only killed your mother, but also killed you on the inside, too? What if you met a boy of whom you know nothing about? And what if you met him in a graveyard, visiting your mother's grave? What if that boy opened a world to you that you should have never known about?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jamira Jaye "J.J."McKain, a 15 year old girl, had always been the outcast, in school and at home, but her family always loved her. While her mother, sister, and brother were blondes with green eyes and beautifully tan skin, she had mid-night black hair with crystal-blue eyes and pale white skin. She was always called "The Black Sheep of the Family" and she never thought that would change. But, when her sister goes to college and her brother moves back in, her mother and J.J. are in a car accident and J.J. is the only one to survive. In the after math, while everyone else is still grieving, J.J. be-friends an unlikely boy, Ares, who is more than she expected him to be. And when he opens up a world to her that she never thought existed, will he keep his promise to keep her safe or will he let his own lust for her blood wind up killing her instead?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ares Hendricks never much cared for humans, well that was until she came, crying at a grave, whispering words that were slurred by her tears. He had followed her home, without her knowledge and watched her sleep from the tree outside her window. He started to care for her, and when she discovered him standing behind her at the cemetery one night she hadn't freaked out like he thought she would, she had just simply acknowledged his presence. Things started to go great, but when his past comes back to hunt him and when she's threatened , will he keep his promise to protect her or will give into his predatory instincts?
"I am the textbook definition of in love with you."

Castor Rex: He's snarky, quiet and mysterious. A secret keeper. He doesn't like his life to be on display. People avoid him, even if they respect him.
Jasper Red: He's polite, nice and helpful. A open book. He likes filling his life with other people and their love. People love him, they can't help it.
Because of his quiet nature, snarky smirks and sarcastic words Castor has always had a hard time when it came to making friends -and keeping them. Something Jazz doesn't struggle with.
With Jazz's protective nature, shyness and many friends he doesn't need someone else to fill a spot in his life -at least, that's what he thought.
Then they met.
And that empty part in Jazz's heart felt a little bit bigger because he started to realize Cas could fill it.
Cas sees him as a grinning, happy dork he has no chance with.
Jazz sees him as a adorable, grumpy jock that now, is his.
Castor wants to get through the school year as quietly as possible but with how loud Jazz loves, neither of them know if it's possible, and to make matters worse they're roommates for the rest of the year.
It's only a matter of time before they come together or fall apart.

As a private person, someone who doesn't share myself with others, I can say that learning how to interact with others is difficult. It's like baking, almost, you have to mix the right ingredients together, and if you add the wrong ones things can taste hideous even if they look good.
It's a lot like our words.
But I've mastered how to tell someone just a little about myself but doing it in a way that makes the person in front of me think they know a lot.
Jasper, somehow, sees through this every fucking time and it's absolutely infuriating.
He's never satisfied with just a little of me, with my hidden truth, and it's the most annoying thing I've ever experienced.
