I'm horrible at descriptions i'm sorry

Even so, Jonah seems to become interested in the Dixon brother's, who his dad had befriended. How does Jonah deal with the looming dread after what comes to happen? And how does he learn to earn Daryl's trust? ⚠️Contains things such as SA, Abuse, and mention of multiple slurs (all of which are censored wether I can say them or not)⚠️ Started: May 3rd 2025 Finished:
