Get through Senior year. That's all I needed to do then I would finally be able to get out of Oklahoma. Head down and keep quiet. That's all I had to do and I would survive. That was my strategy. Until I caught the attention of the wrong person. Mercer Petrov. King wasn't the word for him at Durant High. He ruled the hallways and no one dared to cross him. Not if you want to see the next day. And I did the one thing I didn't mean to do. I made the mistake of deceiving him. And he was going to make me pay with no regrets. ©️ 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟐 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐳𝐢𝐧𝐠.

She was the girl I use to bully. That was until she captured my heart. Still relevantly new in a relationship, I can't keep my hands off of her. My Red was addicting. Forever addicting. Now, we're in college with a imperial distance between us. No one ever told me a long distance relationship would have it's challenges. Nor the negligences that would be made. I was struggling with the balance as to my Red and taking the easy way out at the time seemed sensible. But also a fault. I messed it all up and I was going to fix it. She wasn't going to slip away so easily. She wasn't going to leave me. |𝐃𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐀𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐞| ·𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐍𝐨𝐭 {𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐝} ·𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐍𝐨𝐭 ©️ 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟐 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐳𝐢𝐧𝐠.
