Birch and Lawrence **OLD**
(please read bottom) It's the year 1935 in a tiny Mississippi town. Birch Kelton is 18 years old, Caucasian, and constantly being pressured by his father. Lawrence Addams is 17 years old, African American, and a punching bag for his alcoholic mother. When the teens meet, they form a bond stronger than they could ever imagine, a bond that creates a deep forbidden romance... Please be aware that this is a very, very old story, and I've improved drastically since this was written. I'm also not at all a romance writer, and I had literally no idea what I was doing when I wrote this. The last chapter explains everything. TL;DR - Expect this to suck. I was inexperienced.Complete

Is this a real emergency? One of the other fellas hops out. Before the door slams I notice what his still-seated friend is holding. A tommy gun. My skin prickles. Felix pales.

He casually makes his way over and I know our story isn't good enough; this guy will notice we snooped even when we didn't mean to and we'll be in some sort of a mess. So I ditch our story. I throw myself at Felix and kiss him as thoroughly as I know how.Complete
