Born blind Julian Pollock. They never suspected a thing until he was around 7 because his eyes followed the sounds he was focusing on. He could act and react to situations like any normal kid. Of course, he can't actually read, but he got by recording classes with an iPad then playing the content over until he memorized everything. A straight-A student. He never missed a day of school, even when he was sick, he didn't complain and went anyway. New kid Harper Jennings. Classified as a Bisexual weirdo by his older brother. Having parents that are in the military is hard. Never staying in one place for too long, never long enough to have any friends. Finally, in his Junior year, the family settles down and Harper opens up again. Meeting Julian for the first time is strange, blind, cute, sarcastic. Harper is Anti-bullying, but nervous about standing up for himself. Getting the school bully expelled, coming out to parents- and too the school, accepting help, and maybe a little bit of romance~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Wait! We... You need help. I'll help if you let me." "I've never needed any help before. I'll be fine. I'm going home." "I'll take you." "...fine." "Ple- wait really?" "Yes. Come on, hurry up. And stop pestering me." Warnings: Strong language, Relationship between to guys, Mentions of self-harming and Depression.

For 17-year-old high school senior Evan Brooks, life could be better. He's a social outcast at school, stuck in a rural Alabama small town he never wanted to move to, and he's got a secret he's desperately trying to keep: he's gay. When he embarks on a weekend vacation to the Florida panhandle with his hypermasculine brother, homophobic stepdad, and aloof mother, none of them can anticipate how much a simple 3-day trip will change their lives forever... **2025 Update: Hi! This was my very first attempt at crafting an entire story from scratch all the way back in 2020, and I'd like to think my writing has since improved. I've started working on a big rewrite project, so stay tuned for a newly enhanced story! Please visit the last chapter (2025 Rewrite Info/Updates) for more details. In the meantime, the original story will remain here in full - just know that I know some parts of it are cringe lol. I hope you still enjoy it though! :) Some details have changed between this story and Road to Rockdale in anticipation of the rewrite, so please excuse some inconsistencies if you're coming from that story. I promise everything will line up eventually! CONTENT WARNING/TRIGGERS: Please note that this story contains very strong language at times and some mature themes. Some characters face emotional abuse. There is also a small amount of physical abuse, but it is mostly implied apart from one scene which is not extremely graphic. Some characters are homophobic, and a slur is used a handful of times.
