18 year old Preston is just trying to make it through high school and get to college; and coincidentally, out of his small hometown in rural Killen, Alabama. And so far, he has played the part of small town country boy almost perfectly. Except, Preston is gay and closeted in an extremely conservative town.
But it's okay, because he's almost out forever. He can play pretend a little longer.
Or that's what Preston thought, before one boy who saves his life tempts him to risk it all.

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.Complete
