Prologue/Background

Joe gently nudged me backwards until my back was against a tree before leaning down to whisper, "I would never let anyone hurt you."

After leaving an unsafe home life, MJ discovers a hidden oasis in the middle of the woods. She meets Joe Toy, who teaches her that it's okay to trust even after being hurt.

This is a fanfic/romance for "The Kings of Summer" (starring Nick Robinson), but it will be easy to follow along even if you've never seen the movie.

I'm really writing this for myself to be honest, but I do hope you enjoy!
