Secrets by yungbludlive

A boy, Dominic Harrison, has secrets that no one could even guess. Some good, some bad, some that he has lied about so much he doesn't even remember the truth sometimes. He doesn't talk to anyone at school. People think he's weird so they call him an outcast. A girl, Felicity Everly, the girl everyone loves. She has a perfect life, to the outside world at least. She always smiles and brings people up, never daring to tear them down. She doesn't want anyone to feel how she feels all the time. What are they both hiding? They both think they're the only one who feels the way they do. Until they meet each other. **This is a fan fic about Dominic Harrison aka YUNGBLUD but it has nothing to do with him as a singer. In this story, Dominic is not a famous singer. He is a teen that just transferred schools and nothing in the story is factual. It's fiction for a reason lol. But if I say something that seems a little too real, remember that it most likely isn't, I am just saying stuff to go with my story**
