Mediocre Boulevard
"I don't care about your shitty outlook on life. I love you, damn it." ••• She's never associated herself with the people in town. Just the thought of having a conversation with even her mother gives her a headache. She isolates herself for the worst reasons. So when a family moves in next door she can't help but confront the boy she catches staring up at her window, and the way he makes her feel fucks with her in ways she never thought possible. WARNING Undergoing Editing ••• (Will be undergoing editing at some point) (Editing in process until further notice)
