Kellin Quinn is the kid in the back of the class, who gets bullied because of his sexuality. Vic Fuentes is the one who seems to be at every social event their school has. Simply put, these two are look like polar opposites, right? Wrong. Everybody has secrets that they never intend on telling anyone, but sometimes, we all make slips. (An/(like years after I wrote this) I went back and read some of this and thought, "huh. I shoulda put a trigger warning in this self harm and maybe slight suicide warnings." So yeah. That.)

When a particularly strong rainstorm hits the smaller and lesser known areas of Chicago, no one seems to pay it very much mind. Neither did twenty-six year-old Pete Wentz until someone knocked on his door. A man around his age came to his apartment, soaked from the rain. There's only one odd thing about this man besides his torn clothes, scratched up skin, and one broken leg that stood out; there are two very obvious, and strangely identical burns on his back, right on top of his shoulder blades.
