A quick author's note about this story.

First things first; we do enjoy input from you guys and we try not to take things too personally.

We understand that some of you are not taking a liking to this story very much because of how dark it is. This is very AU. Very, very AU. This is a different Brooke Davis, this is our little AU world Brooke that we've created for this story. She's not the happy cheerleader from Tree Hill. She's an abused girl who was tormented her whole life and uses drugs and men as an escape.

Also, we know it's a Brooke/Chon story but every great love story has a prelude, right? This is a story building up to their romance.

As for the original characters, we know there are a lot of them and hopefully you'll grow to like them. Each character has a purpose; they're not there just to be there.

If you don't like how dark this story is we highly suggest that you don't continue reading because it's not going to be a happy and cheerful. This is a story about drugs and the people who are in the drug world and how it affects them. Our biggest muse in writing this story was listening to Lana Del Rey and anyone who knows her songs know they can be a tad dark. If you guys don't want to continue reading the story that is completely fine with us (though we'd love it if you continued and gave our story a chance.) We love the story we wrote together and will continue posting it for the people who like it.

Thank you for your time.
