Things to know before reading:

(Note that I do not own the images in the following chapters)

⚠Warning⚠: This story may include the following themes: violence, desperation, sexuality, murder, depression, obsession, alcohol abuse, and toxicity. Note that I do not personally experience these themes daily, but I will do my best to effectively represent them in the story. 

Note that the following story is a fanfiction. All of the events are ones that I thought of, pondered, and then typed on my own account. 

Setting: This story takes place in LA, and in our universe. 

Time frame: The year is 2024, after the pandemic. The story will take place during the spring. 

Characters:  Mitchel Cave and Christian Anthony will tell the story from alternating point of views. -Clinton Cave (Mitchel's brother)-Pat and Jesse (minor roles, the other bandmembers)- Molly Reginald (Christian's current girlfriend in the story)-Sydney Palmieri (Clinton's fiancé) 

Other things to consider: Mitchel and Jordan had a messy breakup before the story starts, between 2021 and 2023. (this is only in the story) Because of this, Mitchel goes back to loving Christian in a romantic way, though the feelings are not returned. Christian and Casilda also broke up between 2021 and 2023, but Christian moved on, and found Molly Reginald (also only in the story). Also in the story, Mitchel confessed his love to Christian when they were young and in high school. Back then, Christian hadn't experimented his sexuality yet, and couldn't return his feelings. Mitchel brushed off the rejection, but it still hurts to this day (in the story). 

-Clinton and Sydney have been dating since 2021 and Clinton proposed. So technically, they're engaged in the story. 

-Mitchel's mind deteriorates as the story moves on after the climax. He still seems normal to the others but Christian can tell. 

-I'm not a crime expert, so please excuse any weird mistakes I make. 

(I will add to this later, so as the story continues, make sure to refer back to this in case you get confused because I know I will haha)
