-"the only life is the one we have now."
Honor thy father and thy mother, is what the adults have told us day after day since we were born.

With only two hundred dollars and a camouflage backpack that holds just enough clothing for a week, Ava Kang runs the risk of escaping the two people that want her head on a platter in the middle of the night. Most would call her stupid, others brave for attempting to get away from the people that have emotionally corrupted her. Either way, Ava doesn't care about the consequences, all she knows is that her goal is to get to the state of Oregon by the time she turns eighteen. And with her family chasing her, Ava will do anything to get there.
Of course, with the help of a few strangers along the way, it should be easy, especially if ones the son of a billionaire who is on the run too.

After the sudden death of Harrys sister, Gemma, he finds himself on the top of a building in New York. Him, his mom and his horrible stepdad had lived there for the past year.

Louis Tomlinson. Harry then refused to return home so Louis offered him shelter.
Let's just say that it sure doesn't take long for Harry to fall in love with this stranger that he's now sharing an apartment with. How would Harry have known that this boy would not only save his life, but change it forever?
