Adam's life has never been his own. Raised under the shadow of a cold, domineering father, he was forced into a life of violence at a young age. Trained to be ruthless and taught that power is the only currency that matters, Adam's existence has always been about survival. Beneath the hardened exterior, though, lies the weight of deep emotional scars-ones that even time hasn't been able to heal. Just as Adam begins to unravel under the pressure of his past, an unexpected event sends his life spiralling out of control. Everything he thought he knew is shattered, and the fragile balance he maintained between survival and self-destruction crumbles. Struggling with the aftermath, Adam's world turns upside down, forcing him to confront the ghosts of his past and the dark path he's been set on. Driven by the overwhelming need to reclaim his sense of self, Adam decides to target the one thing that has always held him back, his father's empire. But revenge comes at a cost, and as Adam teeters on the edge of despair, he must decide whether destroying his father's legacy will free him or finally push him over the brink.

Erik and Clarkson are high school sophomores. Erik is an intellectually disabled teen with a horribly abusive family. He lives each day in fear of what his mother will do to him, not to mention the fear of his school bullies. Clarkson is a semi-popular nonbinary student who is assigned as Erik's "buddy" on the first day of school. Little do they know that they will become Erik's best friend, and eventually his datemate. But what happens when Clarkson finds out about the abuse Erik endures? Will Erik's horrid mother end up behind bars? *TW: graphic abuse scenes (sexual and physical), suicide, eating disorders, and slurs (the r slur, st*pid and id*ot) (if you don't think those are slurs, I don't care. Don't give me hate, okay?) Read at your own risk! **This is a fanfic about me and my fictional love that I created (the original story is not on wattpad, it's just on google docs).
