Disclaimer: Don't read this story if you are used to reading all-tell and spoonfed plot stories in the beginning. Broken Bad Boy will only annoy you, but if you are a fan of mysteries and puzzles with backstories, then go ahead. Percie Matthews’s life changed in a heartbeat on one tragic night. The affectionate turned him unloving and cold. The compassionate became egotistic and blunt. That's how Percie is known for. Until a smart, soft-hearted, and gullible Hailey Ward walks into his world. Hailey doesn’t swear, keeps her distance from people, especially a bad boy brooding like Percie. At first look, she knows Percie is trouble. When Hailey is looking for a roommate, he’s shocked to find himself offering her a place. What will happen when cold like him lives together with a kind-hearted Hailey? How will he keep his head straight when she keeps reminding him of someone he lost?

Prologue

PERCIE Dustin’s party is superb. I constantly checked my phone for a text from Emma since I arrived at the condemned abandoned house. At this moment, she was enjoying the party at Chloe’s, one of her closest friends. I still couldn’t believe that high school life was finally over. It would only mean one thing—we were getting older. In a few months, we were be both attending college and moved into one apartment as we’d planned. I sipped the soda that started to warm in my grasp. Unlike my friends, they managed to sneak a few beers into the party. My friends were already with their girls. Well, except for me. The pop music was blaring too loud for my taste. I preferred classic and alternative rock—the only thing that Emma and I did not get along with. She loved pop singers—Harry Styles, in particular. Thank God she wasn’t like a Bieber fan or Kpop because I would delete her playlists if she liked t...

the way you started this story was very smart and the characters' dynamic greatly depicted, the struggles of the male main character were realistic but it was a shame you didn't go further about the female main's ones, there was a lot of opportunities for her to be triggered with her own traumas.

Cute story and interesting story line, but in the first 7 chapters I have no idea if Emma is his girlfriend or sister. Also, the way his parents act makes no sense and where are her parents through all this (if not his)? Needless to say, the story needs work but the Hailey/Percie storyline is cute.

Great story which shows how grieving needs to take place to properly heal. Just mainly grammar issues.

PERCIE I laid back on the cold tiled bench with my arms as my pillow. I looked up at the gray ceiling without anything in my thoughts. I was bored to death for the last five hours, locked up for punching my boss in the face. He hit his wife in front of his car repair shop where I worked as a mechanic--well, used to, since he just fired me. Who was in the fucking hell hurt women if not some losers like him? I didn’t like people hitting women because they would look misogynistic. When I saw him yell at his wife, my fists developed brains on their own. Whatever she did, that didn’t give him the right to hit her. He could confront her privately, but he was an asshole. My anger took over me. So, I punched him before I even realized I did it, which resulted in me getting arrested for physical assault.  I didn’t enjoy seeing women being abused, bullied, and men thought that made them stronger. Women were born to be loved and respected u

PERCIE     The last time I saw a house like this was when I was with her. Just that memory alone felt like I'd been stabbed in my heart over and over again.  “Son, let me ask you one thing. Why did you risk yourself punching your boss when you saw him hitting his wife?”  My eyes narrowed at his intrusion. “Is it a defense mechanism? Or because you didn’t like him abusing his wife in front of everyone?”  I opened the door and got out silently. He didn’t want to go there.  He leaned his arms against the roof of his car and said, “I don’t wanna know, son, but whatever it is, I know it’s hard for you, and it may take some time. But you will get there. My nose flared in anger and in pain. I pressed my lips together to stop from blurting out something he wasn't ready to hear.  I just punched someone a few hours ago. I couldn’t punch him, and besides, he was a police officer.

PERCIE     Fifteen months ago… We were in an accident. My ears still tingled from the silence after the impact.  I couldn’t move. Emma was pressed against me.  “E-Em?” I coughed. My voice trembled. “Em?” My throat choked up.  She didn’t respond. She didn’t move.  I wanted to shake her badly, but I was so weak to do so. I smelled blood. It rolled down my temple to my face and neck.  The smoke started to sting my nostrils.  I started to hear noises from outside the car. The commotion escalated.  The sirens of the ambulance resounded.  Although my eyes were blurry, I whirled my gaze around and saw a bunch of heads surrounding us and the flashes of lights.  I thought I was okay. I could still remember the paramedics who arrived and took me from the collision. Unfortunately, Emma wasn’t. I w

PERCIE   It had been a week since I met Hailey. I was not supposed to think about her, but I couldn’t just stop, and it was starting to get annoying. It was maybe because they somehow looked alike.  I started looking at myself in the mirror, counting our similarities.  She didn’t talk much, as if socially withdrawn. She only said five words during the entire dinner then she excused herself. Keith mentioned that she would be starting her college at Hillston this semester. What a coincidence. My stupid inner-self somehow hoped for the possibility that we might bump with each other.  As he promised, he took my number. Now, we were constantly exchanging texts. He even invited me for dinner again. I made an excuse that I couldn’t make it, which was the truth. I had to meet Grandpa every Saturday.  But Keith didn’t buy my excuse. So I had to meet him again. Grandpa was relieved that I started talking to someo

PERCIEFifteen months ago…“I knew what you have, Emma. I knew about your condition. Why can’t you blame me? Yell at me or hate me? It makes me guiltier. Why do you have to be so cool about this?” I shook my head and stood up from her bed. I scratched my head out of frustration.“You sound okay with this. I hate seeing you like this. It’s killing me, Emma. Tell me why it’s so easy for you to accept all of these?” My voice rose a little.Her lips quivered. Jesus. Nothing in this world I did right. I settled beside her again as I dwelled my own agony.“I’m sorry, Em. I don’t know what to do. I don’t know how to put myself in this situation. I don’t even know what to do with myself without you. I don’t mean to yell at you. I’m just so frustrated and lost that I am so useless to you.” I kissed her forehead. ”Emma, I love you

PERCIE Fourteen months ago. My life was doomed the moment I walked out of the house where I grew up. I just lost everyone I loved. I lost my home, Emma, my family, friends, and even myself. I knew I was still alive because I could still feel the excruciating pain when I thought of them.  My old life two months ago was near perfect, and everything went according to plan until that incident had drastically changed my life. I loathed myself. But I guessed I deserved to feel every agonizing pain I felt right now. When I arrived at my grandparent's house, they were already waiting for me. I could see the pain in their eyes.  I cried until I gave up, but the pain was still there. It was even worse.  I couldn’t eat. The food was upsetting my stomach.  I couldn’t sleep. The nightmare was constantly visiting me the moment I closed my eyes.  I kept myself awake, listening to o

PERCIE     I called Grandpa that night after coming home from dinner at Ward’s house.  “Are you sure it’s a good idea to live with a young woman on the same roof? I’m not worried about you, but about that girl. She’s a cop’s daughter, Percival.” He sighed from the other line. “And what is the problem there? She won’t stay here long once she finds a roommate.”  “And if she won’t? You’re a young man, Percival. How about the temptations? When was the last time you get laid? Or jerked off yourself?”  My face heated with embarrassment. Why grandpa had to remind me of my boring sex life? Jeez.  “Jesus, Grandpa. Can we not talk about my sex life, please?” I rolled my eyes. This is not the topic I wanted to talk about with him, but he had a point.  “Up to you, Percival, but if it helps you improve your social skills, then go ahead. Just treat her right, and behave, okay?”

PERCIE   Fourteen months ago… “Oh, boy. Did you just apologize? I can’t believe you can still remember words. I thought your brain is drained, too.” Grandma snorted while raising her brow. “Stop making him feel guilty, Grace. Look at him. He doesn’t have any more left in him other than his skin and bones. Why won’t you try to cheer him up by telling him about his new apartment.” “Wait, what?” I asked quickly. I felt something new inside me. Excitement? Hope? “You found an apartment for me?” Grandma hit Grandpa’s arm playfully. “You, old mutt. Can’t keep your mouth shut for a while, can you? Now, where is the moment of surprise there?” Grandpa laughed. “Surprise my butt. He got one surprised already. I think that’s good enough for him to get outside his hell hole.” After the longest three weeks, I found myself smiling. “Thanks to both of you.” Grandma waved her hand. “Don’t thank us yet. You’ll pay

PERCIE     Thirteen months ago… I left that day from rehab, defeated, but it wouldn’t stop me from seeing her again. I wanted to prove that it was a stupid mistake. And I had no plan on doing it again. Despite my defeat, I still had one reason to move forward. My grandparents brought me to my new apartment. I didn’t even know that Grandpa was busy furnishing while I was busy trying to kill myself. The fully furnished two-bedroom apartment met my taste. The black leather couches in the small living room with 46” flat tv screen mounted on the wall, a 60” framed art poster of my favorite football team, taken during their championship game. A small kitchen with stainless steel appliances and what caught my attention was the latest coffeemaker. Then the coal-colored cupboards, countertops, and kitchen island. My dark blue-colored bedroom had queen size bed, two nightstands, and a closet of the same color. There wa
