Synopsis

He's the definition of the boy she tried to stay away from. The epitome of harsh rumors and hopeless fantasies. The source of lies and blame. He's analyzed, misunderstood, and utterly mysterious. And he may be the one to find her voice. She's the aftermath of her tragic past and stole her voice before she could speak out. Will her past continue to drag her down, or will he save her? Fate has a funny way of bringing people together, but it doesn't always work how it's supposed to.

Chapter 1Chapter 1

Stretching my limbs, I'm rewarded with a popping sound at the give of my stiff muscles providing some relief after a long night of sleep. Yawning, I get a taste of my own morning breath and instantly cringe.

I walk over to the mirror on the back of my closet door. I catch on my reflection and double take at the horrific sight staring back at me. I look like death. No, I look like Medusa or even Ursula. My curls, dark brown that fade gently to dirty blonde as my hair reaches mid back are tangled and make my scalp ache. The mascara smeared over my face makes my light blue eyes stand out. Once I deal with my hair, I get ready for the day. I walk back into my room and to my bright red dresser . Delicately, I pick up the necklace. I lift the pendant and hook it around my neck, feeling the cool touch of the diamond hitting the skin of my chest.

I walk down the hall and stop at my brother's room. I realize Toby most likely forgot to set an alarm last night I walk back to my room and I fish around for an air horn which is pretty useful for moments like these. I haven't been able to speak since my freshman year. Three long years since that one fateful night stole my voice and my pride. Toby's best friend did it. He molested me. He made sure I had enough liquor to drink and he choked me. He always had family problems so he usually hit and broke things. Warren went physical and tried to kill me. Toby trusted Warren and Warren took a sharp turn to molest me and break Toby' trust. The therapist thought that having me remember would help me get my voice back. But soon enough, I was diagnosed with PTSD that was blocking me from talking and even trying. I ended up learning sign language.

I walk into Toby's room and blare the horn into silence. Toby's eyes shoot up into panic but when his eyes land on me, he groans and puts his head under the pillow. I go downstairs and start cooking for Toby and me . I flip the pancakes and set it in the middle of the counter. I'm sure the scent of our breakfast reached his room. He comes sauntering into the kitchen, he looks at me and smiles gratefully.

''Thanks Raine" he says, taking a seat at the counter before digging into his breakfast. I smile and nod my response. He keeps on shoveling the pancakes into his mouth. My free hand comes up to play with the necklace around my neck ; my mother's necklace. She passed away when I was five. My dad jumped into a care mood instantly after mom's funeral. I knew her death affected dad dearly. He loved mom so much , I wondered whether he loved mom more than Toby and I. We were like a golden family until mom died. When I turned 12, dad's business took off into New York and he left us in Chicago with a nanny. The day he was leaving was the day we lost both our parents.

I hear the front door open and not a second later Liz , my best friend comes walking into the kitchen. Liz has been my best friend since 7th grade. Liz has striking brownish eyes with short blond hair. Liz has the perfect height - she's no taller that 5'5.

'' Thanks for my greeting, Lizzy.'' Toby says sarcastically from his seat.

'' Good morning ,Toby. Nice hair! '' Liz replies slyly.

He scowls and runs his hand through it . ''That noticeable?''

He gets up to go to his bedroom grumbling some profanities under his breath.

I look at Liz ''Want some breakfast?''

She shakes her head '' I ate before I left.''

'' You two ready to go?'' Toby asks as he comes up to us with his hair wet. We nod and he grabs his keys while we grab our backpacks. We get into his Ford F-150 Raptor and start driving with the radio cranked up. Today Liz is looking out of the window sorrowfully. I'm not the only one with family problems. Liz's father left when she was 8 and her mother hasn't been herself.

(Please note that this book is currently unedited) Vol 1~ I Choose You. (Completed) 'No matter what, No matter the time, No matter the place, No matter the century, No matter what's to come, I. will always. CHOOSE. YOU'. Everyone saw her as crazy..... But he saw her as nothing less than perfection. ................... Blurb: "Why?" was the only thing he said. Confused I asked "Why what?" "Why do you always do this to yourself?" the tone in which he spoke almost seemed like he was heartbroken about something. "Do what?" I dared to ask, although I knew already within me I wouldn't like his response. "Conceal your worth" ....................... *Btw book 1 is completely free to read* ....................... Vol 2~ No Matter What. (Completed) Blurb: As I gazed up to him because of how tall he was, he stared right back at me. I could feel the heat not only on my cheeks but on every single part of my body. "Say those words Rica. Say those two little words and I will make that little fantasy in your pretty head into reality" I gulped. Gone was the playful smirk that was once residing on his face. The intense look in his eyes now replaced that. With the little courage I could muster I whispered "Kiss me" A broad smile immediately streched out on his face. He didn't even wait a second before he swiftly complied to my request. ................ After two long years, the heir to the Zora enterprise is finally back. Why is he back after so long? But most importantly, why did he leave in the first place? Join Dili and Rica once again in their ever blissful rollercoaster of emotions. Will Rica be able to forgive Dili for leaving? After all he was the same person that promised he would never leave her all alone. Drama, love, pain, secrets, new characters and also maybe the jiggling of wedding bells? Book 2 most definitely has it all. ................ If you like this small insight of the story then please read on. The only thing I can guarantee you in this story is that it will definitely have a happy ending although for the two characters Rica and Dili to achieve that, they would have too pass through many difficult obstacles on their way to happiness. And trust me this isn't your normal Teenage story that is filled with rainbows and sunshine,(probably seems way too cliché writing this but ehn) there are a lot of gloomy days. If you don't mind that then please by all means do read on. .................. DISCLAIMER!: Note, this is a pure work of fiction. An original story by me.

Tutoring the school's bad boy.

The school biggest nerd takes on the hardest task there is... tutoring the school bad boy. *** "This is ridiculous! I don't understand anything," he threw his books away. " Not with that attitude," Perse picked up his books, dusting them off and returning them on the table. "It's just like riding a motorcycle___" "This is nothing like riding a motorcycle," "It takes a lot of practice. But you'll get the hang of it." He rolled his eyes at her positivity, but then opened his books and tried again. _____ After daring to stand up to the school's bad boy, Persephone Ariadne Carlisle is tasked with tutoring Asher Jayden Thorne, the school's most rebellious bad boy. He was impulsive and hotheaded. She was calm and cautious. While he lived for fights, she lived to avoid them. She was everyone's dream... He was everyone's nightmare. But he listened when she spoke. And he acted when she asked. He stared when he thought she wasn't looking, and she thought of him whenever he wasn't in the room. The more time she spent with him, the more she realized that he had more inner demons than he let the world see... and more light than he let shine. She made tutoring him her priority... and his life her business. But with the Chief of Police as Perse's father, Asher had more to worry about than just failing Algebra. The Chief didn't want trouble... and Asher Jayden Thorne was the walking definition of it.
