[Jesse Rutherford Highschool AU] Two years before graduation, the almost 17 year old Alexis and her family move from Chicago to the small town Newbury Park in California. While she's caught up in getting used to this new place, which she just can't pretend to like, a tattooed Senior with the most charming smile she has ever seen catches her attention. Too bad everyone, including her own mind, tries to get in the way before something very special could happen.

Everything goes downhill when your father gets married to an evil skank of a woman. Everything turns right around when you find out who your step brother is...

Jesse was normal. Normal...but weird. He drank alcohol like a normal person but smoked like something was wrong with him. He used to party with us,but now not so much. If he comes to a party with us,he'll just sit alone. He's not the same anymore. He used to be the life of the party,cheering everyone up. Now he just seems depressed,like something is holding him down. Like if he wants to do something good,it's like something is telling him to do something bad. We don't know what's wrong with him.
