[TW: flashbacks of sexual, emotional and physical abuse, drugs, eating disorder]
DON'T BE DISCOURAGED BY LACK OF UPDATES, I'M STILL WRITING AND WILL UPDATE EVENTUALLY, NOT DISCONTINUED!!!
Kylie Sprinter.
Just a normal 25 year old with no idea about the future, living with her soon-to-be-moving-away best friend.
Of course, behind her emerald green eyes, hides secrets. Like The Dark which keeps eating her from the inside and leaving Kylie like a shell of a human.
Or all those scars which aren't expressed physically.
But she also has a special connection to her favorite band, Imagine Dragons. A piece of history is left behind them, forgotten and thrown into the trash can.
Because as she listens to their songs and watches their interviews, she can't keep herself wondering:
How many years can you hate a person?
She goes to a concert and by a single night, things change for Ben McKee.

Logan
*TW* Contains topics and scenes of sexual assault, self-harm, abuse.* "You know you loved every second of it," I can feel the tears welling up as well as the anger building up within me. I stare at him for a while before I have to turn away from his hungry gaze. "Look I just came here to tell you that I forgive you for what you did back in Cali and I'll take you back," "You forgive me?" I yell. "I did nothing to you. You raped me! You fucking raped me! You have no right to come here and tell me that. You. Forgive. Me. You traumatized me. What you did to me tore me up inside and was eating away at me until I tried to kill myself. And when I told people they didn't believe me. I had to listen to so many people talk about how great a guy you were and how I clearly just regretted sleeping with you. You are a monster. You made me hate myself for something that was never my fault. You have caused me so much pain and suffering," I pause to take a deep breath.
