"As fierce as I tried to appear on the outside... I couldn't lie - I was still scared. Not only of getting hurt, but also of losing whatever's left of who I was. What if I would wake up one day and wouldn't recognize myself anymore? Though, maybe that was the point. Maybe the old me wasn't worth saving anyway."~Adrian Hayes ... After his parents kicked him out for being gay, Adrian Hayes finds himself longing for control and respect. He fights himself into the gang, his cousin is also part of, desperate to free himself from the humiliation and shame that clung to his name. Though, he never meant to fall for the rival gang leader. ... "I was the leader of a gang that Rafael wanted gone. And Adrian-whether he liked it or not-was one of Rafael's now."~Caleb Silva

In his last life he gave it all to his little brother who was kidnapped at the age of five , recused at the age of sixteen. Extra care - Brother needed it. Parent's support - How could he even ask for it when his brother missed it for eleven years. Brother owed it. Arranged marriage with his best friend - He never wanted it in the first place. They are like bros! So, when his brother showed interest in his best friend , he encouraged it. All he wanted was a happy and complete family. But he never realised that all his efforts to give his brother a family , would separate him from his family. "Your brother is sick ! We can't attend your graduation." - Mother "Just come back after taking the certificate. I think it's serious." - Best friend. .... "Bro , we already left for the trip. Why were you so late ?"- Best friend. "Why didn't you pick up your calls ? Your brother was worried to death. He almost had a panic attack. We started the journey to distract him."- mother. ..... "Your brother is new to the family. How would he know you are allergic to eggs?" - Mother. "Just go to the hospital. Don't ruin his birthday." - Father. "Bro , why did you even eat that cake ? I can't leave the party to accompany you now." - Best friend. ...... He had enough. He loves his brother too but his love shouldn't be one sided "Do you all even care about me ?I am dying here. My allergy is severe. I can die." He shouts with a hoarse voice. "Nobody dies from egg allergy. Don't exaggerate." "You all are my family. You all know how serious it is. My limbs are getting numb." "We are sending the driver." "Is dd's birthday more important than my life ?" That was the last question he asked before his senses went shady. "How can you be jealous of your own brother." That's what he heard for the last time before everything went black. He chuckles in his fate. What a joke his life has become ! Wish he could get another chance , another chance to live once again !
