Formerly known as 'His Saving Grace'
Welcome to Western Sydney.
Not the safest, not the happiest and not the best place to live. Rivalries between the innerwest and greaterwest gangs. Organised riots and brawls happening every month was something normal. Break ins, vandalism, domestic violence, racism, was expected. The pacific islanders where judged harshly, some of them even had the community fearing them. The government was corrupted, and the police had no intentions of protecting their community.
So in a world like this, love was something that was ignored. Stepped on, spat at. The word was abused so many times and it got to the point where barely anyone knew what true, genuine love is. No body fell in love anymore. Everyone was looking for a good time, no one was serious.
Did people fight for what they love anymore? Did anyone want to graduate school anymore? Or was life one long party for most people?
So this is the story of Kaea and Treymaine. Love? Or loss?
Is it worth it? To take the risk and fall entirely.

"That was weird, but I can't stop my heart beating ten times faster than it should be. Laying down on the bed I face away from the bathroom door not wanting him to look at me. I pull the white cover up to my nose and look at the wall. I hear the bathroom door open and footsteps reach closer to the bed. The covers are being moved behind me as Mateo gets ready to sleep. I reach up to turn off the lap on my nightstand, and when I do we're left in the dark abyss of my room. Mateo's arm wraps itself around my waist and pulls me back into his hard chest. He gently lifts my head up and puts it back down onto his bicep. I take in a shaky breath and close my eyes deciding it is best to just sleep.

That's he's willing to try. "I love you." I murmur into his shirt. "I love you too, babe. We're going to be okay." "Yeah," I agree nodding.
