**************************************************
Aubrey smith is a young junior who doesn't know what living is. Her life is a mess, and yet she's strong, or at least acting strong. Everyone in her life either smothers her or pities her. So if she doesn't act strong then who will? She struggles so much that she's basically drowning in the pain, the depression, the darkness.
Asher Slade is no knight in shining armor. In fact he's the gang leader of the toughest gang in the country. The Vice Lords are so feared that no other gang dares to even try to overthrow them. Asher does what he wants when he wants and gets what he wants when he wants. He never pays for meals because the people are too scared to charge him, the police are either in his gang or are too scared to move against him. What happens when Asher meets Aubrey?

BEING ANITA
'I love you,' Asher told me while the police man handcuffed him. The night glimmered in his green eyes. His dark hair was tousled, strands like conductors of the energy in his chest. "I fucking love you." In other circumstances, a few years ago, I would've easily retorted, but there was a humid substance being loaded in the unfiltered air that wrapped around my throat, and I couldn't speak. If I tried, I'd break into a full fledged scream, and possibly end up handcuffed as well. I took many steps back, retreating from the source of toxicity, suppressing a pseudo feeling of guilt but being grasped by its hands so easily I could simply lunge at my boyfriend and tell him everything would be all right, that he had done the right thing, and that I was so proud of him. But as much as I wished him to, he wasn't a child anymore, and I had ceased to be the girl he idealized. The man pushed Asher's head into the vehicle, and he repeated "I love you" over and over, like a fresh mantra. I didn't doubt his words. But there were just a few things that still made sense to me, and his voice was in the past. A relic that was rooted in a better context. Us. "I could just die with you." ---------♡--------- Starring: Gwen N.F. Asher Price Noah Gallo Scripted: August 2017. Started: September 2022. Finished: November 2022. Word count: 90K-100K.
