Katerina Evans knows perfection. Perfection is the calm of silence, when the sound of fighting doesn't reverberate within the walls of her house. Perfection is living safe, no drugs, no smoking, no recklessness. Perfection is forever, which Kat definitely knows is a lie, yet can't help but believe.
     
  Perfection is not Lucas Goode, who rudely barges into her life and turns the normalcy of her ordinary life upside down with his bold and spontaneous ways. Perfection is not the way he makes her feel.
      
  Lucas Goode has what most would suppose a perfect life. Captain of the football team and the town's golden boy, Lucas knows he can't waste time with the town's anti-social and uptight loner if he wants to leave the sleepy town of Briarville. 
      
  But sometimes, life has a strange way of making you do things you don't want to do.
      
      Maybe, just maybe, life doesn't need to be perfect.
      Maybe, perfection is imperfection.All Rights Reserved

Lost In You by Kmcleod__

✗ "I'm sorry," I choked, the tears spilling down my cheeks. He shook his head and pulled me closer again. "Don't be sorry, just work on getting better," He said, rubbing calming circles on my back while I cried into his chest. His arms tightened around me and he pressed his lips against the top of my head, making me cry even harder. "I had never meant to hurt anyone. I just wanted to be good enough," I whispered. The guilt weighing heavy on my shoulders. "Briar," He said quietly, "You're so much more than good enough." ✗ Meet Briar Martin.
