⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"I don't believe that everyone's life begins the moment they're born. In everyone's life, I believe there is one defining moment set aside from the rest, a turning point of events where their life really begins. Some begin their life for the better, but some begin their life for the worse. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀I wasn't always like this. ⠀⠀⠀⠀I wasn't always such a bad guy. ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀But, in the moment that my life began, it began for the worse." ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Elliot Radke hasn't had the best life. When he was sixteen, he got in a car wreck that ultimately changed his life forever. Because of the death of his best friend, Elliot changed everything about himself. His personality, his appearance, his attitude towards life. He was done with the old Elliot; he was done with his old life. As far as he was concerned, Elliot was never going back.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀What if he met someone that could change that, though? Someone who crashed into his life; someone who had as bad of a past as he had? This is the story of how Elliot Radke and Bridie Everlast came to be; this is the story of how two broken souls can find each other to make a perfect whole.

TRIGGER WARNING. THIS STORY CONTAINS MENTIONS OF RAPE, SELF INJURY, DEATH AND ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. Can Dan save Phil? Phil is suicidal and Dan is the only one who's there for him. Can he alone save Phil?

Dan is the senior that everyone looks up to, he is charming, witty and sometimes even nice. Phil is the sophomore that is constantly being bullied for being who he his, a boy who likes boys. Roles seem to switch when Dan saves Phil's life, and finds himself falling for the younger boy. Dan is the new target for torment and beatings. But unlike Phil, Dan doesn't handle it very well, and finds himself spiraling downhill, with what seems like no way back to the top.
