This fanfiction is based on songs. I'll give a list once it's complete, but each chapter will try to give a nod to the song that the chapter title is referring to.

Child abuse Language Homophobia/homophobic slurs Possible suicide reference And underage alcohol use (later on) Cover art: sspruce- on instagram

I'm crazy about you. I think you're amazing! But I know these feelings are wrong. It's not the way a boy should feel. Shame swallows me whole. My father would kill me but I can't live in his shadow forever I just...."
