Mostly written as puberty plus proximity resulting in a weird relationship that their parents discover and basically keep them apart because they don't think it's healthy, which in I'd wager 99.99999% of cases that would be correct, but hey there's always the chance that it works out for someone.
Anyway in the second part the two kids, I think it had been like 2 years or so, so Luan is like 16 or 17 and Lincoln was now a teenager, decide to run away together, typically star crossed lovers. Of course after doing so the parent discover they are gone since they took the van. The police just sort of shrug and say, we don't really do this sort of thing. If you report it stolen we can arrest them but instead they hire a bounty hunter/PI to track down where the kids are going and get them to come home.
Turns out that guy was a nutcase who iirc, it's been a few years since I read it so if I get this wrong I'm sorry, was schizophrenic and instead of bringing the kids in, starts a fucking shoot out on the highway, resulting in that man dying, can't recall if Lincoln shoots him or the cops gun down the man with enough guns to make the Punisher blush.
In the chaos the kids escape into a new city, their family believes them to be dead in the van's explosion. In their new life Lincoln gets a job under the table for Italian stereotype who gets him into working with the mob. Then the FBI gets him to turn on them and it puts him and Luan and their baby in witness protection, back with their family since they had fake ids in the other city.
Shit was wild. Like an 7/10 maybe 8/10 if love drama, would recommend. I'll find the link if you give me a moment.
