#961 in Teen Fiction: November 9th, 2017 So this was my first story and I was like 13 and there is a lot of mistakes and typos and the writing is probably SUPER crappy but I'll let you decide that. Read to find out :)! I have better stories if you'd rather read those 😂

LGBTQ Lit. Four boys that have something in common: they're all heading to the Chicago Hartley Psychiatric Hospital for Troubled Teens, and they are all, well, troubled teens. Blaise Christianson-15-Chicago, IL: The boy who wears long sleeves even during the hottest days of summer. Rory Jefferson-16-New York, NY: The boy who always "ate before he came" and insists the sounds coming from the bathroom are due to the fact that "he does not feel well." Gabe DeLucille-16-Indianapolis, IN: The boy who tried to take his own life but hates the word "suicide." Blake Terry-17-Dallas, TX: The boy who drinks himself to sleep every night because "maybe he'll finally feel something this time." Read as lives collide and fuse together while our characters embark on a journey of self discovery and learn a lesson that will stay with them for the rest of their lives.
