The night Addison Dawson's parents died in a horrible car accident, she knew her life would change forever. Without a brother or a sister to lean on, she got financial problems, plus a-not-so-emotional problem for being home alone every day. When Lewis High School Academy kicked her out because of the unpaid bills, she finally decided to put a 'For Rent' sign in front of her house. This way, she could gain money and find a new friend. Nicholas Lewis, a rich playboy, got kicked out of his mansion when his mother caught him sleeping with a girl. Without a place to stay—but he got a bucket of cards and money inside his pocket, no biggie—he walked on the cold street in San Francisco carrying his things. He almost gave up when his eye caught a house with a 'For Rent' sign pasted in its walls. As he walks towards the house, he noticed that there were more words written on the sign. 'For Rent: Strictly for Girls Only'

"I-I think I'm in love with you." My eyes widened and my breath caught as those words left his lips. It was my worst and most beautiful nightmare coming alive. But I couldn't, I just couldn't. "I-I can't, I'm sorry." I started running away, wiping the stray tears that betrayed me and leaked, with the palm of my hand. I sniffed, feeling a growing pain in my heart. I clutched my chest, barely able to handle it. I kept running, but when I knew I was far enough, I fell to my knees, still holding my chest. That's when I heard it. The sound that shouldn't even be audible was so loud in the still silence that it swayed the trees. But maybe that was just an illusion. Maybe only I could hear it. The sound of my heart breaking. ______________________________________ Two people. Entirely opposite in only one manner. Noah's on his 'quest for love,' and Jade cowers from any such feelings.
