DISCLAIMERS

1- This is all fiction OBVIOUSLY. The way I portray these people in the story has nothing to do with the way I actually view them in real life, and the same goes for their relationships with each other or other characters in the story.

2- English isn't my first language so if there are any mistakes you can politely point them out and I'll correct them

3- This story will contain mature content and triggering topics.
