Adrian Peterson is a mistake.
He has known since the tender young age of fourteen that he is. He's learnt to live with it and embrace his unfortunate roots but the hidden truth behind his birth is revealed when he is kidnapped from his home.
Vincent Adelaide is the definition of a hopeless cause. The perfect example of a completely broken boy.
Atleast that's what he thinks. That's what he's known for so long in his life. After running away from his home at thirteen years old, he is taken in by someone who he immediately trusted but shouldn't have. Now here he is, five years later, and left with nothing valuable in his name.
In time, these boys meet and learn to depend on each other in a situation that both don't understand. They experience tragedy, heartbreak, loss and find out the heart gripping truth behind their weaknesses and their torments.
Read the experiences of the mistake and the broken boy. And who knows? Maybe a little romance is thrown into the mix.

All I see is the only person I ever loved as he lay on the ground with a weak pulse. I saved him, though. But I hate the idea of being a hero. I'm not a hero. I only couldn't stand the thought of a plane of existence where Apollo didn't exist. I had to save him. He still carried my heart with him--the heart that left me to stay with him against my will. However, I won't tell him it was me. In order to heal, I decided, at the last minute, to go on the cruise designed to help uplift those struggling mentally. Emery Gray, my ex-boyfriend, found out it was me, and I didn't want to risk Apollo searching for me. But fate laughed in my face in the name of my panicked last-minute decision. Because when I thought I was escaping Apollo and Triple-A altogether, I didn't escape him at all. Apollo is on this cruise, and he knows from the moment he looks into my eyes that I saved his life. Damn it, maybe Emery was onto something. Maybe there is magic in healing with the person you were supposed to heal with all along. And maybe, just maybe, the future I always wanted with him is right in front of my face, and maybe it's waiting to be grabbed. All I have to do is fight through my fears and snatch it up.Complete
