Keegan is a boy who loves affection. He's usually quite peppy and excitable, but everything in life has turned against him. He ends up locking away his emotions and making himself distant from the world, trying to avoid further suffering. He's left a shell of his former self, struggling to get through life. He decides to take time away from his abusive life by going on a week long school trip to collect his thoughts. He is placed in situations he couldn't have imagined. Theo is a laid back jock. He can come off as aggressive and bossy, usually around his friends, though he has a heart and can be quite kind. His life is hectic and full of annoying people. His parents are inconsiderate, his friends are clingy and loud, and the rest of the school sucks up to him, which he doesn't received well. He just wants to be left alone. After deceiving his clingy friends he snuck away on the school trip, hoping he could finally get some peace and quiet. This trip would hold some surprises for him, and maybe even change his life. What future will await these two? Are they destined for greatness, or despair?

"You know Hope you need help. Just let me help you," Hunt says looking into my eyes. I knew he was begging but I couldn't let him help. "No one can help me. Goodbye Hunter," I say then walk away from him. ++++++++++ I am a nobody. Everyone knows me as Hope Mercer, but my birth name in Hailey Mercer. My mother is dead, murdered years ago. My father is an addict now. He became one after my mother's death. After her death he also became abusive. He beats me every night for no reason saying it was all my fault. My best and only friend, Sahara, helps make sure I do not get beat too bad. She helps as much as she can. She is like a sister. She also finds it ironic that everyone calls me Hope when I have none. At school, I got stuck doing a project with him. He is the most feared gang leader/street fighter known in this city. His name is Hunter Morgan, but most know him as Hunt, his street name. He thinks he wants to help me. he thinks he can help me. No one can help me...not anymore. Why do I have this crazy messed up life? Everything used to be so perfect...
