Whether you want it or not, whether you think it's right or not, sometimes you're born into a certain way of being and can't seem to ever escape that. You will always be who you are. Aubrey was the good child. She had decent grades, and potential to make something of herself, but with her mom dead and her dad walking around in a trance-like state, it wasn't easy to survive. She worked hard, but the pressures always seemed to get the better of her. Cameron was the son of the big boss. He was going to be the boss himself one day, it was what he had always been told, what he had been groomed for since he first learned to understand words. They taught him how to fight, to shoot, make the best of a bad situation, he knew how to negotiate and settle deals in the worst of situations. Everyone knew what his family and the rest of them did, but the whole town looked the other way. It was better to lie with the devil they knew, than the one they didn't. When his father starts taking things to the darker side, and the violence keeps escalating, will he be able to hold back his conscious and be the good son, will he start the revolt the club needs, or will he walk away forever, leaving the only life he ever knew behind. The pressure is building for both of these young people when they meet in the oddest of circumstances, they learn that they aren't entirely alone. They might not be able to control anything in their life, but can they find solace in one another?
Dawson has had it rough. Not as bad as some, worse than others. He lives in constant secret, heart ache and pain. After his parents died he under went a transformation, rendering him unrecognizable. After three years of pain, cutting, and one suicide attempt, he returns to his hometown. As Dawson hides his identity, it will become harder and harder to seal away the truth when faces from the past start revealing themselves, including his gorgeous ex best friend Alec. Only Dawson isn't the only one with secrets and when a lie reaches Dawson's ears, it will take all he has in him to protect the one thing he has left. Himself. Dealing with depression is hard, and Dawson will have to learn it's not something that can be handled alone. He'll have to open up his heart once more, even if it risks him getting hurt, if he wants to achieve happiness.

This is a trigger warning, to anyone that has problems with self-harm I recommend you don't read this as there are some graphic scenes. Also, this is a boyxboy story, so if you don't like hot steamy action between two boys, this is not the story for you. If you don't like it you shouldn't even be reading this anyway and I will not tolerate hate. You do not choose your sexuality and no one else has the right to make someone feel bad about who they are.
Also, if any of you are having problems, or the story has triggered you, please inbox me. I love to hear from my readers.
