Big Bend Bears

Dallas Boone Welcome to Big Bend-my nightmare and my home, all in one. I don't fit in here. I don't fit in anywhere. I've made so many mistakes. Over and over. Two of those mistakes haunt me. One, being responsible for a friend losing his job and reputation in this town. And two, well, that one is even worse. I ruined so many lives with one stupid decision I barely even remember. And now, I'm going to pay for it. Colt Howe Kensley. A place I never wanted to be again. But I had to come back home. My sister Chloe needs me, which is more important than escaping the town I grew up in. I'm here for two reasons and two reasons only: my sister and my nephew. I'll make sure my nephew has a better life than I had. That his father is there for him, whether he wants to be or not. That's my promise. I was so damn close to getting out of this town for good. Right in that red zone, I could see the goal, but then I got hit with a force I never saw coming. And that changed everything.

Benny Big Bend is my home. I love it here. I love everything about it. It's my senior year, and I'm determined to have the best one yet. Of course, that's when life gets confusing. I think I may have a little bit of a crush on my nemesis. Something I never saw coming. I just hope I can find a way to make him give me a chance because being together would make not only this year great but this life of ours-absolutely epic. Rowan Benjamin McBride is the bane of my existence. He simply won't quit-he never does. He's too happy. Too confident. Too unafraid. I can't let him get to me. He thinks we could be epic together, that us in a relationship would be some saving grace-a Hail Mary-a way to make this year and our lives the best they can be. But I'm not destined for happiness. I have to make him understand. It's never going to happen.
