In My Blood

"If I tell you a secret, are you going to keep it?"

"What is this secret?"

"It's about who I truly am."

~ Or~

Falling was never something Leo wanted to happen. Disappearing wasn't something he wanted either. But, with one faithful night which included an argument with his parents, Leo both fell and disappeared. But then he stopped falling and reappeared in a small town in Washington where he met with his uncle, his cousin, and a teen who was hiding more than Leo ever imagined.

Leo Swan isn't your average guy but, in all honesty, who really is average these days? All he wanted was to meet his parents expectations but found it hard to keep up with them. When he came to Forks however, he felt at home. His cousin, Bella, and uncle, Charlie, both invited him into their home with open arms. After coming out to them as well, he finally felt safe. But, when a classmate comes walking into Leo's life, everything changes. Not dramatically, but everything he thought he knew went out the window. Now, Leo gets to not only navigate high school in a new city but also a "forbidden" teen love with someone else who isn't your average teen.

Edward Cullen has always kept to himself. He and his family stay secluded to avoid people finding out their secret. So what happens when he meets Bella's strange cousin? When his eyes tend to linger on the teen with more than an interest? The secret that he has kept trying to hide, comes to light and Edward wasn't the one to say it? But, the biggest problem Edward has, isn't the fact that the Bella's cousin learns the Cullen's secret, it's that Edward can't stay away from him. Leo is like a magnet to Edward and he can't stay away from him.

In a story full of jealousy, love, hate, and other things, how will these two overcome the challenges thrown at them by life?
