~"My whole life, you were a question mark."~ Every rose has its thorn; and Vic feels like he's full of thorns. With high school graduation behind him and an impressive set of grades under his belt, Vic sets about pursuing his dream of attending a top arts college - by working in Rachel's, a coffee shop not too far from home, where he's living for his gap year and keeping things tiding over. Because it was never going to be as easy as going to college - there was always the matter of money, and the matter of his father's mind and the matter of his brother's illness to keep him grounded at home. And as much as he loves his family, acting the grownup at the age of nineteen when he's only just begun to earn a living wage isn't particularly fun. And then, by way of a lazy universe and a curiously convenient coincidence, an old classmate Vic never had the chance to know but who always had bird seed in his pocket turns up at the coffee shop. And things start to change. The story Vic and Jaime write out together twists in ways they didn't plan for in their wildest dreams and worst nightmares. A messy beginning; a disastrous middle; an okay but not perfect finish.

"I never used to believe in angels. But since I fell in love with you, I've started to change my mind." Life is new; Pierce the Veil is one member short and Mike is not the same person he was, and it doesn't take much for Vic to begin to crumble. His one chance lies with the only person he's brave enough to love; his best friend Jaime. This love is either going to make him or break him, and it's down to Jaime to save Vic from the darkness he is beginning to fall towards. But time is cruel and unpredictable, and the road is beginning to break into sharp pieces, causing everything they know to turn upside down. The strength of their love and of their souls is about to be tested; and it's all about to spin out of control. TRIGGER WARNING: Some self harm/suicidal thoughts
