By Your Side (Preview)
Sometimes the biggest threats are family. James, a soon-to-be high school graduate and ranking member of the locally known outcasts, is about to take the next step in his life. Reflecting on his past leading up to this, he regretted not doing what every other high schooler seemed to do, from constant partying and experimenting with drugs, but what he deemed most important-having a relationship. Watching his childhood crush, Hannah, who he was once inseparable with, becoming the most popular girl in school and leaving him in her rearview mirror. Fighting with his emotions and wondering how he'd ever rise above the seemingly more qualified fish in the sea resulted in James being consumed by his internal darkness. The only thing able to pull him out of it is his best friend, Clare-Hannah's outcast cousin. With everyone going their separate ways, it presented one final chance. James is forced to decide if Hannah's worth chasing after and keeping his darkness at bay. Or letting her go and fully giving in to his self-destructive ways.Complete
