(undergoing a rewrite/second drafting)
================================
What if everyone sees you as a hero, yet you are a monster? What if every good thing you do is cancelled out by the guilt and the pain? What if all of this can be erased by two words?
And what if you refuse to say them...?

For Blaze and AJ, nothing could be better. They had friends, adventures, and the general adoration of crowds around and beyond. So, of course, if something was to be between them it couldn't be that bad, right?
You're wrong.
And so, a small accident snowballs into a struggle of truth and lies, past and present, want and need. And the worst thing is, it encompasses so much more than either of them imagine. Darkness is curled somewhere deep in both of their hearts, in all of their friends hearts, and if they don't hurry to find the secret and fix all that is wronged, their friendship won't be the only thing that will break.
