Holding

What happens when all your dreams finally come true?

You become very aware of the vultures.

Raven
While his childhood memories weren't the best, Raven King hadn't let the circumstances of his birth stop him from working hard to make a better life for himself. Though his parents had been horribly neglectful, he'd had his four best friends to get him through the rough times, and the bond between them was something that could never be broken. After all, they hadn't been dubbed The Loyal Five for nothing, and ten years later, Raven is one of the best wide receivers in the NFL.

Esme
While her childhood memories were good ones, Esme Daley was still very aware that the world wasn't fair and that it took hard work to carve out a decent life for yourself. Still, with loving parents, a great sister, and a kickass best friend, she really didn't have any complaints. She knew that she was blessed to have such solid people in her life, something that she never took for granted, and ten years later, Esme is at a place in her life where she can honestly say that she's happy.

When two worlds collide...
Caught up in a whirlwind romance, the pair come crashing down hard when a misunderstanding thrusts both of them into a spotlight that neither of them want to be in. Anger, accusations, and pride all come together to create a heartbreak that will be hard to come back from...if they're even able to. They say that the truth will set you free, but sometimes the truth comes too little, too late.
