Desmond, James, Dallas and Ryan. Those four names meant nothing to the world. The name "The Heavy Shadows" were nothing but a weird pairing of words. Each member came from different walks of life. A poor dreamer, a guitar virtuoso, a troublemaking bassist and a depressed drummer. When Desmond, Dallas and Ryan formed a band during school, they never knew how this would impact them. For James Dallas and Ryan it was a chance of a lifetime. For Desmond, it was the start of a Long and Winding road which will test ultimately his emotional and physical limits. (The story is in a warped reality of the 1960's where modern bands and bands from the 1970s-2000s such as Nirvana, Arctic Monkeys, Black Keys, Green Day, Steve Miller, Eagles and all those other rockers are in this reality of the 60's so, culture is mixed here)

After all this time? Always- J.H
1980. Pearl never asked for a new life in San Francisco. The city feels cold, full of strangers, and her new school is nothing like the one she left behind in Los Angeles. But then she meets James. Shy, blond, and always with a guitar in hand, James is different. He's not like the others, and Pearl can't quite figure him out. At first, they're just two people passing in the halls, exchanging the occasional glance. But soon, their connection deepens. What starts as a quiet friendship begins to shift-into something neither of them expected. Their moments together feel like stolen hours, the world outside fading when James plays his guitar and Pearl listens, lost in the music... and in him. It's not just friendship anymore. It's something more. Something real. But as the days slip away, the weight of what's left unsaid hangs heavy. And just as Pearl starts to wonder if she's found something worth holding on to, life has a way of moving forward, leaving them to wonder if their paths will ever cross again.

The anger in his tone hurts, but I'm doing this to him...to us. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." I'm not good for you. I'm not good for anyone. I have to go before I can't walk away, and I need to walk away. "If something is wrong then tell me. We'll fix this." It can't be fixed. I can't be fixed! You can't fix what's completely broken.

A handsome Australian who he just stumbled upon in a bar. One meeting with him and Davis wants more...a real chance at life. Will he ever be able to get away from the life he's only ever known?
