His Secrets. My Lies. Our Demise. My life had never been easy growing up. An abusive, alcoholic father. A mother who wouldn't leave him. It all felt empty and hollow. Until one day, a blue-grey eyed boy saved me from a bully and changed my entire world. He and I grew from boys to adolescents. Best friends who fell in love. We shared a bond I thought could never be broken. But fate had other plans. One event shattered our illusion. It tore us apart even as we fought to stay together. Then the boy I loved broke all his promises. He left me. He ruined me. He lied. Aaron Jackson Parrish should have been my fairy tale love story. But not all fairy tales have a happy ending. And ours had the most unforgiving ending of all. Please be advised, this story contains sensitive content/subject matter. Please see the author's website for full details.
