Bowden Hertz is an average 17-year-old boy who's sweet, innocent, soft, super-nice, and very quiet. He doesn't know many things and can get quite confused pretty easily. Though he may seem at least a little positive, he struggles with anxiety, nightmares, and bullying. After the incident concerning his family, he moved in with his best friend and his brother. Ashton Barings, Bowden's friend, is 18, not very innocent, popular but doesn't like talking to people, and rude to anyone he dislikes. He deeply cares for Bowden and would do anything to keep him safe. ~~~~~~ Each chapter will be about 800-2000 words May contain TW! This story may or may not contain swears but if there are, I will censoring out most of the lettering since swears make me feel a bit uncomfortable. (Not from other stories but me personally typing out full swears is like me saying them, which is not something I do) It just seems more realistic to me if swears are used because of certain characters. Sorry if Ashton doesn't seem like how I described him! I'm pretty innocent myself, in my opinion of course, and don't know how his type of character really works, but I promise I'm trying my best!
