Avery has never known what it is like to be loved. His entire life until now has been a repeating cycle of abuse from his parents, but he was finally able to break free from their prison. Now that he is free to live the life of a normal teenager, he has a lot of adjusting to do: adjusting to going to a public school, adjusting to a being in a foster family, and adjusting to having new friends. All of it together can be overwhelming, but he is doing his best to live the life of any other teenager.
Dominik, on the other hand, has known love. They knew it very well, but it was taken from them by the cruel hands of death. They now live every day going through the motions, trying to act happy, but deep down, they're lost without their first love by their side. They are constantly haunted by the thoughts of having to live the rest of their life without seeing them ever again. They shut out the possibility of making new friends, in fear of losing them too.
But, what will happen when these two meet, considering the boy who's never known love, looks eerily similar to Dominik's first love?

I pause, taking in a shuddering breath. "This doesn't have to change anything. You don't --" He snatches my hands. "You wanna touch me, Colby?" His sudden boldness stops me in my tracks.

Finding Life Again
Raised by cold parents who never offered him a glimpse of affection, Kai dedicated his life to earning the love he never received at home. Successful in his studies and devoted to his passions, he found a romance that ultimately shattered him, coupled with the harsh realization that he had failed and that his parents would never acknowledge him. A year after his graduation, Kai felt lost and unsure of how to chart his path forward. Clinging to the one person who had never left his side, he resolved to confront the traumas that haunted him. He never anticipated that the person who would help him the most would be someone he had met right at the beginning of his journey. SMALL EXCLAIMER/ The story doesn't visually describe sexual scenes. There are just a few makeout scenes. The first few chapters are describing a person who is slightly depressed and some light anxiety behaviour situations. It is not a heavy book. The characters are not abusive. The relationships are healthy, and I hope my book is as positive and easy to read as I wanted it to be. However, for some people can be triggering as there are mentions of anxiety and social awkwardness.Complete
