RAZOR MONKEES TRILOGY

One night turned us from best friends to enemies.

Since the moment we met, Salem has been burrowed beneath my skin so deeply, I can’t breathe without feeling his presence.

But getting that record deal and spending a drunken night in a bar ruined everything between us.

I lost Salem. My rock. The only person–the only thing–capable of grounding me to the earth.

Somehow, we make this band thing work with our friends. Somehow, we fake it all for social media and for the fans. But behind closed doors where the rest of the world can’t see, we’re at each other’s throats or pretending everything we used to have never existed.

Until I do the stupid thing. Until I succumb to the pain of losing him and do something out of character. Something that scares Salem.

Now, he wants to fix things. But I think it’s too late. Too much damage has been done. There’s a trench dug between us, and we’re standing on opposite sides.

Can Salem repair everything we broke, or are we going to lose each other forever?

What should have been one of the happiest times of our lives drove a wedge between us.

For years now, Dalton has been my rock. When we’re apart, I feel like I can’t breathe, but when we’re together, I feel almost invincible. Like the world can’t touch me.

But hitting it big enough for us and our bandmates to move into a mansion destroys everything.

I lost Dalton. I lost the one person I needed most in this world.

Somehow, we’re all still living in relative harmony. Somehow, I hide the devastation I feel from all my friends. Somehow, I smile at Dalton all while I feel like I’m drowning in my own blood.

But when no one is looking, I allow myself to crumble. To fall. To break.

When my mother makes her reappearance, like she does every few weeks, it’s the final straw. I’m breaking. Shattering. But this time, she’s arriving to do more damage than she’s ever done before.

Because she overdoses, and I’m woken in the middle of the night by police officers bringing me the news.

Dalton is who I beg for as my world is spinning out of control all around me. He’s the only person I trust to hold all my pieces while I’m being shredded apart.

But have I truly lost him forever, or will Dalton pull through when I need him the most?
