State of Us

On the track, we can pretend, but we can't outrun our secrets forever.

Taylor

Only two things matter to me in this shitty town: freestyle motocross and my best friend.

They're my only escape from my father's fists, but one slip in junior high almost changed everything. I confessed a secret to a beautiful boy, and I've been punishing him—and myself—ever since.

I can't have Huckslee the way I want, so I take from him in the only way I can—with violence. When my mother wants back into my life, and I'm forced to move in with the object of my obsession, the lines between hate and desire begin to blur. I'm not sure we'll survive each other.

To everyone else, I'm the perfect son: swim team captain, football running back, and the Bishop's golden boy. But beneath the surface, I'm hiding desires only one person knows—my bully, my tormentor, my crush. And starting tomorrow, my dad is marrying his mom.

Taylor has wielded my secret like a weapon for years, making my life a nightmare. Now, he'll be living right down the hall. Each encounter with him cracks my facade a little more. How long can I wear this mask before it shatters completely?
