Tangled Pages

Ayden
I swore I'd stay away from her.
Serenity Evans: honey-brown eyes, long dark curls, and a heart too pure for someone like me. She's everything I can't have and everything I destroyed. Now that we're living under the same roof, I'm living in my own personal form of hell, a constant reminder of the night that changed everything.

One stupid and reckless lie turns our lives into a dangerous game of pretend, and suddenly everyone believes we're dating. I tell myself it's to protect her-because if she ever finds out the truth, why I'm the reason her sister is gone, it will shatter her completely.

I'm not the hero in this story. I'm the villain who still wants the girl he broke.

Fate has a cruel sense of humor.
Almost a year after my sister's death, I never expected to live under the same roof as her ex-boyfriend, who also happens to be my first love and the boy who shattered my heart into a million pieces. I try to avoid him as best as I can, but everywhere I look, I see the ghost of everything we once were. My plan slips through my fingers when everyone believes that we're dating based on a lie Ayden decided to tell.

I hate him. I crave him. And no matter how hard I try, the past keeps pulling us back together. Some stories don't end in forgiveness. Some stay tangled-messy, painful, and impossible to escape.
