Will their pasts allow them to have a future together?

As their friendship deepens to something more, both of their pasts threaten to pull them apart. When push comes to shove will their pasts hamper a shared future or will their friendship be lost forever? Imaging Us is a modern story of love, knowledge and learning self-acceptance despite life's obstacles.

♠VOL 1: Book I in the FORBIDDEN series♠ ♤♠ "I don't date," I told him with a smile. "Why not?" He was smiling back as if what I was saying was the most interesting thing ever. I honestly don't know why we're talking about this. I shook my head. "Because I'm not allowed maybe?" I shrugged. "I don't have time for that anyway." I started writing again.
