Nick is a normal 16 year old kid, well kind of. He hasn't had the best childhood especially since his father is a well known gang leader that got sent to prison when Nick was just 7. Life is about to take a complete 180 turn for better or for worse when he meets Grace.
Grace is an equally normal 15 year old girl. Except for when she starves herself for weeks on end and when she has to hide the scars carefully draped across her skin making words of every spiteful thing she's ever thought or someone has ever said to her.
Both have their fair share of problems, things they'd rather keep a secret. But what happens when they find out each other's deepest darkest secrets and have to learn to trust each other, instead of just themselves.

This is my first book and I'm super nervous but excited to try and write a book. My parents and teachers like to tell me write what you know, so I did. Obviously it's dramaticized because my life isn't this crazy but most characters are definitely based on me, my friends and my family.
Hope you enjoy, thank you for giving this book a try!
Disclaimer: There are some triggers in this story I put the main ones in the tags but be careful my beautiful babies!!! ❤️

Have you ever met someone who alters the course
of your life? For good or for bad, they've come in, given and taken, and then- BOOM! Your life was never the same. There's always a change, an altering of reality. When you meet those people, the reality that you've known your whole life is suddenly gone and a new one has taken its place. When those moments happen, there's no going back. You can try to return to the way things were but nothing, and I mean nothing, can take you back to exactly how it was. That's what happened to us. I think that's why we're still trying so desperately to get back to some sort of normalcy. Four years later and we're still on the ground, crawling, in search of the happiness that was lost that June. Summers will never be the same. Midnight walks through my neighborhood will never be the same. Field parties with bonfires and loud music will never be the same. I still don't know why you left and what lead you to the decision you made. What I do know is that we're here. We're alive and we're pushing forward to the future. A future that you're not a part of. But in some ways, I'm glad
you're not a part of it. I just wish it wasn't like this.
*** TRIGGER WARNING***
SA, abuse, suicide, substance abuse, and mental illness.
This is a complete story that is much like life; fast, full of surprises, and not always how we want it to be. This has been a project of mine for over three years. It was self-published on Amazon, but after some issues in publication, I decided to just upload it on here. I hope you fall in love with these characters like I have.
The friends in this story are trying to make names for themselves, figure out who they are, who they can trust, how to love, and how to separate themselves from a restrictive community. As in any coming of age story, they will experience growing pains... but will they survive them before its too late?
PLEASE READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS.
