Monroe Lovie. A seventeen-year-old boy who lives with an overprotective mother, an abusive and power-hungry stepfather, and a stepbrother who wishes to be more than brothers. Roe has lived with this twisted group of people that called themselves "family", forced to hide from the rest of the world in the most inconspicuous way possible. Sure, he still attends public school and goes out maybe once a month, but once he steps foot in the prison he calls a home, he is locked in his cell in order to hide the skeletons that are piled high within this "happy home".
When Roe's family moves into The Village of Four Seasons in the Ozarks, he runs into a group of boys that are more bizarre, yet more caring than the people he is forced to call family. He wants to know the feeling of friendship, the feeling of youth, the feeling of love, and he thinks that these boys can give that to him. But is he willing to sacrifice himself to the wrath of his reality in order to know this group of people, so different from what he knows? And what will happen if they find out the truth?
This is a fanfiction based on The Academy series written by C.L. Stone. The original idea of The Academy does NOT belong to me, I am only borrowing it to create a new story with original characters. Cover art is not mine, all credit goes to @w9rm0000 on X (twitter).
***PLEASE READ WITH CAUTION: This story does involve many triggering events and topics, so please read with caution.
Tori is already cracked and broken after barely managing to escape her abusive fiancé. She's trying to heal both physically and mentally. She doesn't want to disappoint her new Academy friends by being weak or needy. She's trying so hard but the pressure keeps building and building. Between dealing with her mother, keeping up in college, and wanting desperately to be useful to the only real friends she's ever had, Tori is bent over backwards and barely managing to stay on her feet.
How far can she bend before everything snaps and the truth comes out that she's just too broken to be fixed?
