most chapters are unedited, so please keep that in mind! comments and feedback are appreciated. i hope you enjoy this story as much as i did writing it.

this story is supposed to illustrate realistic situations - something the reader can relate to. this isn't a fairytale, or a story where everyone is always happy and gets what they want. the situations described are ones that people go through daily (some situations not as much). Basically, I based this story off of accounts I have seen in my own town and throughout my time living near a poor, poverty stricken city.

i labeled this story as boyxboy simply because there will be gay relationships. this doesn't necessarily mean smut, but rather a normal romantic relationship between two males. if you don't like that, don't read.
