Hide Your Fires by BeMineInJuly

"Stars, hide your fires; Let not light see my black and deep desires. The eye wink at the hand, yet let that be Which the eye fears, when it is done, to see." - Shakespeare People make mistakes. People break rules. People even break the law. Sure, we aren’t perfect creatures but the thing about people is that we usually have pretty good reasons behind those bad decisions. And another thing about people is that they tend not to care about reasons as much as actions. Hallie Rhodes has found this out the hard way. No, she’s not proud of the decisions that she’s made that may have put her at odds with the law, but she had her reasons. Not that anybody cares about reasons. The way Hallie saw it, she had no choice except to forge the documents to get herself and her two younger brothers out of an abusive foster home. She has had a lot of tough breaks in her life. She’s only eighteen but she already has custody of her two younger brothers and to make ends meet, she’s taken on a full-time job along with balancing her senior year of high school. Strong, determined, and mature- Hallie is ready for whatever life throws at her. Except for Tate Conner, who is the exact opposite of Hallie. Lazy, entitled, immature, and cocky. Fresh out of reform school and on parole, he is the epitome of a bad influence, which is why Hallie is outraged when she notices that her younger brother is starting to befriend Tate. As they continuously but heads, Hallie starts to wonder just how put-together she really is.

Now, with constant spring-summers, Mathias Redwood must take what's thrown at him in an unbearable loneliness that may just make him go insane. For months, he's left himself to ponder over exactly who are the people he can trust. His brother the murderer, his stubborn companion who is formerly a Dodger, the lowest of the low, or a mysterious Brit, who is formerly a Rich, the highest of the high. All Mathias wants to know is the secrets behind his brother's recent endeavors and a few bumps along the way make the secrets far more confusing than they were previously. It's almost as if he is being exposed to radiation. A substance is slowly killing away at him, but the true challenge of his journey is to conquer the irradiation.
