Tomorrow's Blues
~"You don't- you don't need me." I stared in shock. This was the first shred of emotion he'd shown since he started avoiding me, and I had no idea how to respond. What was I supposed to say to something like that? So I let myself be honest, and I told him exactly how I felt. "But I do." I almost choked on my words. "I do need you. I can't talk to anybody else. I can't eat. I can't sleep. And I know you know what that's like."~ Liliana is now an orphan. Just 17 years old, she lost her parents in a boating accident and now she must live with her best friend, her best friend's parents and her best friend's brother, Joseph. She struggles through her grief as well as dealing with the mysterious but obnoxious Joseph, and it soon comes to light that he isn't the only one around her keeping secrets. Living under the same roof, tensions arise, and Liliana begins to discover that a perfect family may not be so perfect after all."

Only, this girl has no memory of him or the Rude Boys & further more claims to be Rocky's younger sister? Watching all seasons & movies will help you enjoy the story more as you'll be able to recognize more scenes not as elaborated on, characters, Easter eggs etc. especially in later chapters. It's not required & you can still understand & enjoy the story I try & keep characters as close to in character and their original personalities & plot while adding more background & behind the scenes to those we don't hear a lot of in the original material (specially in earlier chapters) Update: A/N & annot. will now be in the comments, to keep the look of chapters cleaner. Story is my own creation, inspired from High&Low. I've had it in the back of my head for a while, since Jan. 2020 & writing here began Mar.-Apr. 2021. So if by chance resembles another fan-fiction you have previously read, I apologize & kindly ask for a link so I can make sure I have time to change my ideas so future plot points aren't the same/similar. Disclaimer: I don't own HiGH&LOW characters, plots, images etc. only original characters I personally created for this story. These rights go the creators of this world EXILE HIRO & other producers, writers, directors & actors of the project/franchise. I don't make any profit & purely written as a fan of the franchise. I wish to keep rights to my original designs that aren't found in the source material. Please ask before using them in your own material. Pc: HiGH&LOWComplete

Prerequisites For Love (Sample Chapters Only)
No one warned me that "fake it till you make it" cliché can lead to a heartbreak. Kara Farrington has a perfect life: she has a boyfriend her parents love, the money to buy Prada shoes, and a friend who loves shopping with her. Except, Kara has grown indifferent toward her boyfriend, doesn't care much about her parents' money, and hates shopping. Her motto is "fake it till you make it," and it's been doing her just fine, even if "perfect" doesn't actually mean "happy." When Kara receives birthday gifts full of betrayal and heartache, her perfect life begins to crumble. All Kara wants is to continue her grandpa's legacy by joining the family law business to help those less fortunate. Gramps is Kara's role model, and after she graduates from college, she wants to use the power of law to help people. But with her anxiety, stage fright, and well-practiced faux life, convincing her parents she's ready for the pre-law track seems impossible. Her parents have a different plan for her-marry someone who meets their prerequisites for love. Kara's parents give her an ultimatum: they'll continue paying for college and let her work in the family law business after Kara brings home a guy who fits their mold. Desperate, Kara begs Dean Sawyer, a renowned playboy in school, to be her fake boyfriend for the semester. Dean is secretive and averse to a serious relationship, and he's everything her parents wouldn't approve of, but confident Dean can smooth-talk anyone. Even Kara. As their charade progresses, their chemistry grows, and Kara has to keep herself from falling for swoon-worthy, secret-keeping Dean. After all, how can two people living a lie ever truly experience love? Soon, Kara must choose: accept her true self and risk heartbreak, or keep faking it till she gets everything she's worked for. Some scenes deal with sensitive topics some may find triggering. Happily-ever-after is guaranteed.Complete
