Cruel Summer

*POP POP*

Marcus quickly covered me as we fell down to the ground.

"Marcus, what was that?!"I said as I started panicking.

"Those are gunshots! Stay down!"

*POP POP*

Ryan Jackson will never get the gun sounds out of her mind.

It will stay permanent in her head.

At least, that's what she thinks.

After visiting her family for her baby brother's first senior football game, Ryan and her cousin, Marcus, attend a party. Little did they know their life would be changed forever.

Marcus Jackson, nephew of Derrick Jackson and cousin to Ryan, has been through a lot. After experiencing an unforgettable event with his cousin Ryan, he feels like he's been living through hell.

While dealing with his college life online, Marcus has had family problems. His mother, Mary, has tried to repair their relationship as his older brother, Kel, tries to make up for his absence in his life. What happens after an unexpected guest shows up to reclaim his spot?

Will Marcus or Ryan try to change for the better, or will their family take them down a path where someone could be sent to an early grave?
