Refusing to become a product of his environment, he earned a full ride scholarship to play college ball away from his home in Orlando. Excelling academically, success was in his grasp. Through his blood, sweat, and tears, DeSean's dreams were finally in sight...until tragedy struck.

Abandoning his education and future in basketball, DeSean began following in the lawless footsteps of his two criminal-minded best friends and started wreaking havoc back home in the streets of Orlando.

Buried Wishes β
Warning: Mature Content. Outside, it was cold and breezy, with those familiar night stars that twinkled above us years ago. We walked side by side along the little path that ran across the gigantic grassy park at the center of campus. I held my breath every time my swinging hand brushed his, hoping to feel his warm palm in mine again. I just wanted more with him, but I knew it was wishful thinking. So I buried it. I buried it with the silence and the distant looks. I desperately wanted us to go back to being friends, before all the feelings showed up, before he embarrassed me in front of half the school by dismissing any chance at us being together. ~o~ Evelyn Martinez has had her heart broken exactly once, by Liam Saunders.

He did what he had to do by any means, even if that meant killing a few people. Unlike some of the others in his crew, Sincere was smart and had no regrets for the choices he's made. One revengeful drive-by however, was one moment he wished he could take back. A lot of innocent lives were ruined that day, including Hazel Barnes, a local crime activist who crawled her way into a young thug's mind and heart without even seeing his face. Hazel had a bright future ahead of her. Being the prodigy child, there was nothing she could do wrong. Except for falling in love with the one guy who goes against everything she believes in. Hazel doesn't know what's right and what's wrong. But what she does know is, she won't let her disability stop her from going after the one thing that makes her feel alive again. Even if that one thing is what caused her to be disabled to begin with. Both Sincere and Hazel can't help but go after the thing they want. And it's because of this that they go down a long path of destruction and disaster together. In the end, the one thing that's most important, is the only thing that keeps them apart.
