Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that. ~ Martin Luther King-Jr. Colton: With a difficult upbringing and only myself to rely on, building a new life for myself wasn't always easy. But Mama K giving me a second chance at life was all a kid like me could ever hope for. She allowed me to flourish and have dreams. So finding my love of soccer and being able to be the success I am today - I owe it all to her. She showed me I mattered. Even so, escaping my past and trying to move on proved tough at times. The darkness was always there. Always lurking around the corner, waiting to suck me in again. Finding silver linings was damn near impossible....until her. Angels on earth. Who knew they existed? Not me. She was a beacon of light, that light you see at the end of the tunnel. Layla, was the angel's name, and she was going to be mine...

Will this year be the same as all the rest or will they finally be able to let their guard down and fit in? _______________________ #1 in Senior on 2/24/20 #2 in girlxboy on 5/20/20 #5 in Haunted on 7/26/20 ~Haylieemariee1: Hands down the COOLEST epilogue ever!! ~ShanawazKhan2: Awesome story and the ending was awesome to hate it that it ended but all the good things do come to an end and have a happy ending loved every bit and part of this both the books were awesome ~Crimson928: Aw loved it so much! ~karolglina: THIS ENDING WAS SO BEAUTIFUL MAN I LOVED IT STARTED 7/28/19 COMPLETED 11/18/19
