Everyone at Ohio State University knows about Blake Andrews, the infamous all-star quarterback of the football team and rumored insomniac. Most refer to him as crude, egotistical, and cold. It isn't until he meets Elena Madison that his world is suddenly flipped upside down.

Undeniable attraction radiates between the two clashing souls and he begins to wonder if she can save him from the darkness within him.

"For what?" I question, my eyes feeling very swollen and heavy now. He takes a deep breath and swallows. "For being my light." - *MATURE* HIGHEST RANKINGS #1 in enemiestolovers #1 in collegeromance #1 in panicattacks #1 in badboy #1 in brooding #1 in enemiestofriends #1 in trauma #1 in grumpyxsunshine

i have no safe space, no haven. my home is a wreck, and everyone at school hates me. the least i can do for myself is lay low. i don't speak to anyone, i don't have any friends, my hoodie is always drawn. i keep to myself, and that's how i like it. though one day, someone notices me. someone that shouldn't have-yet someone that i'm grateful for. because if i hadn't embarrassed myself that day by tripping over my own feet in the school hallways, i wouldn't have found the man i now call my haven. 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 #1 trauma #1 instantlove #2 badboy ❥---• "i'm fucking obsessed with you, clem. why are you questioning my motives?" he spews out, not one hint of embarrassment behind those soulless eyes i've become obsessed with. "do you need me to 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘸 you the affect you have on me?" my eyebrows pinch together when he lowers onto his knees before me, his calloused palms lifting to grip my thighs almost pleadingly. "let me show you."

"Don't come too close...I am not good for you" I said. . . . He leaned in leaving no space between us . . . . "Yah, you are right!!

"Why is it that whenever I try to get closer to you, you always shy away from me?" Aiden asks, hurt dripping from his voice I look at him and instantly i'm filled with regret and fear. "You wouldn't understand Aiden." I say pleading with him "Try me," He challenges. "Listen," I pause. "I need you to understand that when I push you away, it's because it's the only thing I know how to do anymore." He opened his mouth to say something but she stopped him, holding her palm up like a white flag. "You need to understand that everyone else has left and my problem," I say raising my voice. "My problem is that I'm scared," "I'm scared of getting too attached to someone, until eventually, that someone has the power to control me. To end my world when they feel like it." Aidens eyes bore into mine but he doesn't say anything. "Are you attached?" He asks. I glance away and then back at him nodding "With you? Too much." I say as a tear rolls down my left cheek "I'm scared that you are going to leave." I whisper as Aiden wraps his arms around me. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••• A grumpy figure skater and a golden retriever Hockey Captain.

"I can't believe you, I can't believe you would do all of this to win? Did it mean nothing to you? Did I mean nothing to you?" His voice was shaking, his hands were shaking and his legs felt like clouds, whether it was because of anger or sadness it didn't matter because he refused to break down in front of her; not after what she had done. "This was never how I intended it to unfold... I swear, I-, it was just a stupid trap at first, I never thought it would work. I never thought you would fall for me" She took a step toward him, reaching to take his hand, the hand that was currently fiddling with the charm she had given him, but as she did he took a step back "But you did, and I didn't know what to do because I- I fell for you too and- God this was never meant to happen" The girl buried her face in her hands rubbing her eyes and hoping that when she'd look up everything would go back to how it was before he found out "I don't want excuses Torres. You could've put an end to this, you could've stopped it all the moment I told you I loved you" No, he couldn't cry, he couldn't show her he was weak, his voice cracked but he wouldn't have any other slip ups even if it felt like daggers were stabbing him repeatedly and without mercy each time he looked into her eyes "I despise you"

Two broken souls in the midst of a crazy world. Two souls running away from their past. There was no light at the end of the tunnel. The tunnel was cracking, slowly closing in. When these two connect, as if they were set on the same path, light creeps in through the cracks, and for or a moment, the tunnel seems to have a way out, but what if it collapses before they make it? - "You saved my life." The words come out as a whisper, I've been dying to say that. I thank god every day that he came into my life when he did. "Fuck Vivian, you don't know how much I needed you." I tear up just a little as he speaks, I don't know the last time I cried happy tears. I bring my hands up to cup his cheeks, resting my forehead against his. "No matter how much I push, I don't mean it. Please don't give up on me." My words seem to relieve him in some way as I feel his shoulders relax. "Even when I'm gone, I'll be by your side, forever." He brings his hand, sticking his pinky out. "pinky promise."I wrap mine around his, placing a kiss on his lips. Warning before you read!! This is my first book!

I breathlessly whispered, my heart pounding against my ribcage as I felt his hand lift up my skirt from behind and squeeze my butt roughly. He leaned forward so his hot breath was fanning against my ear, his erection pressing right onto my covered ass cheek. "But you need to be quiet, sweetheart. Unless you want everyone in the library to know that you're fucking its owner. I don't think you would appreciate a downfall in your good girl reputation, now would you?" Before I could even register his words in my head, he had ripped my underwear apart and shoved two of his calloused fingers in me. ══════✿✿✿══════ After her parents abandoned her and her siblings 4 years ago, Meli Rose had no time for relationships or hook ups.
