The In Between

*TRIGGER WARNINGS LISTED BELOW. Not a supernatural or paranormal story. Literally about smol beans.*

Counseling. A week of counseling. Sure, there were 6 fights in a month, but Principal Evans just didn't understand.
Riley wasn't the bully, they were. But they're nerds, and they don't seem like bullies.
And of course, his home life is a mess; his mom's dead, and his dad walked out two years before his mom died. He lives with his little sister and his alcoholic grandmother.
Things don't look very good for him. But then there's Cam. Cam is not the same, but he seems to understand a bit. And Riley seems to understand him. Maybe, just maybe, things can turn out okay.

Trigger Warnings:
~References to self harm (cutting, specifically)
~References to abusive situations (verbally abusive parents and a physically abusive brother)
~Bullying (a character regularly gets picked on and beat up by a group of kids)
~Fight scenes (Fight scenes)
I think that's it.
