Moving to a new town with her only family, after a haunting incident seemed like a good idea to Iris. Iris is a black girl with a sad past. She's your average book nerd and can be nice when she wants to be. She doesn't believe in true love or happy endings but is a sucker for some good ol' romcoms. She hates badboys and finds them completely clichè. Here Luca comes into the picture. Luca is not your everyday bad boy. He is broken and is considered the town's brute or beast rather. With tattoos, piercings and a glare that wards people off. Unfortunately, Iris becomes drawn to him like a moth to a flame. And almost immediately, Luca is pulled to her quirky, sassy and stubborn self. (Although the list could go on.) With his possessive and overprotective behaviour, Luca isn't one to let go of what makes him happy. And Iris makes him happy. What happens when their pasts comes to haunt them? Will these two broken souls fight their way through every barrier just to be with each other? This is the story of two broken souls trying to find solace within themselves.

IRIS' POV When my acceptance letter from University of Washington to study Neuropsychology came in, I had been so freaking excited that I forgot all about the distance. We both forgot about the distance. Then, Luca's acceptance letter from southern Utah university to study English literature came in and we both realised that our relationship would be taking a huge turnover. We both had this conversation when his letter came in and now we're having it again. I stare at the dorm in front of me with a sigh. A muscled arm wraps around my shoulder. "You're gonna be okay." "I don't know…." He spins me around so I'm facing him and tips my face up, our gazes lock. "We're going to be o

They are going to consist of Iris and Luca's lives after their high school graduation.)FIRST SEX SCENE.IRIS' POVIt's been months – a span of three months, precisely, ever since the Erik incident which landed me in the hospital. Within those months, Luca has refused to have sex with me.Apart from the occasional touches here and there and lustful gazes from both of us, nothing. Well….I wouldn't really say we haven't done anything at all. We've engaged in other…... minimal sexual activities, that's just about it.Anytime I ask him why he doesn't want to have sex with me, I get a "You're not ready, yet." From him and it makes my hand itch to whack him on his head. 
IRIS' POV I turn back to see what has him confused, only to be met with Erik pointing a gun at me. I bite my lips hard as I feel the impact of a bullet on my right shoulder before I even hear the sound of the gunshot ringing through the air. I hold my right shoulder in pain and I groan as my legs give out under me. I watch as Luca stands still before he runs to me, I sigh softly as his warm strong arms engulf me and slowly lower me to the floor. I can hardly focus on the excruciating pain on my shoulder which has almost numbed my body as I watch his face contort with fear and his mouth spew out harsh words. The loud ringing in my head, accompanied by the pounding footsteps and shouting of people wouldn't cease. The sound of gunshots being fired and the loud blaring siren coming from w
IRIS' POVI'm still strapped to the chair. I feel weak and dehydrated, due to the fact that I haven't eaten and I'm thirsty. My face hurts from the slap I received from Erik when he came back and we exchanged some harsh words. I can still feel the dried blood on my lips.I look blankly at the door when it opens, only to present Asher."Great. Another asshole." I mumble even with the rag in my mouth.He gives me a creepy smile. "That's funny."He steps closer and trails a finger on my arm. I curse inwardly as his finger makes contact with my bare skin. I almost gag at the look on his face."You have such beautiful skin.."I glare at him as I struggle on the chair.He notices my struggle and he smiles. "Aw, po
IRIS' POV The pounding of my head wakes me up. I groan as I open my eyes, my Iris trying to adjust to the light. I look around my surroundings, only to find nothing but a dark room and one door. My heart starts to race when I realise that I'm strapped to a chair and a rag is shoved in my mouth. I snap my head to the side when the big door is pushed open. The person that walks in makes my eyes widen with fear and surprise. "Asher?" I question but it comes out muffled. "Hello, Iris." He smiles innocently. I shout and send curses his way behind the gag shoved in my mouth. He nods his head towards me and immediately a guy ( that I don't know) steps forward and removes the rag.
IRIS' POVIt's been a week since the incident and I feel fucking miserable. I want to take my actions back.When I left Luca that night, I called Luke to come pick him up after explaining to him and Tasha that I broke up with him. Tasha took my to her house where I sobbed to my heart content. I still haven't told her the real reason I broke up with Luca.The following week at school has been awful. The whole school knows we're not together anymore and it hasn't been easy. Chelsea and her minions have decided to make my life a living hell and I cowered anytime I saw them coming my way. Tasha has been a great friend, she stood by me when Chelsea cornered me in the bathroom. She stuck with me when I refused to speak to anyone.Luca hasn't been in school. And I was gob-smacked in the face when I saw him sitting on our table. 
LUCA'S POVAfter Erik walks out, Luke and I walk to Lilian who has Emerald cleaning up the blood by the side of her mouth."You okay?" I ask, a permanent scowl on my face.She nods her head as she stands up."I'm fine," she smiles softly before pointing to point she just got up from. "Sit. So I can tend to your wounds.""I'm okay." I grunt out.Luke looks at me unsurely but I nod my head at him in assurance."What the hell was that all about?" Luke asks sitting down close to Lilian."I don't know," Emerald sniffs. "He just came in all of a sudden and mum got pissed. They exchanged words and I think mum strucked a nerve, so he hit her."I growl and Luke curses ou
LUCA'S POV.Iris has been acting strange. It feels like she's avoiding me and wants to get away from me as far as possible.She feels disconnected. I've tried all I can and nothing is working. She always seems so lost in her thoughts and I'm worried. And at the same time it feels like she never wants to leave my side. I'm lost.So it came as a great shock to me when she suggested a date night tonight."I think we've both been stressing out a lot and I want us to have the evening to ourselves." She said when she saw the confusion on my face."I think that's a great idea, baby," I told her softly as she tightened her hand on my waist and pressed her face into my chest.I'm walking out of the underground fighting club after hours of practice when I receive a text from

We sweaty hands and shaky feet. I walk there only to see a man in a suit, facing away from me."Uhm, h-hello?" I say but it comes out as in a shaky breath. And I mentally face-palm myself.
