Alan and his love for sweaters meet a rebellious boy ×cover by: spacedrugs×

Cashby story. They meet on night over sorrows and become something more than strangers. That is if Austin can kick Alan's muteness out.

*COMPLETED*BOOK 1* Alan knows how it feels to be bullied. He was the target of Ben and Danny for two years until he became friends with Aaron, Phil, and Tino. That's when things changed and now he's as average as it gets. Austin was the new kid this year. It's been an entire semester and he barely speaks, doesn't smile. He has no friends, and is 6 and a half feet tall with lanky limbs and a scary complexion. Around the school he has earned the title 'psycho'. What will happen when Alan decides to give this kid a chance? Will it work out, or will everything crash down around them both? Is any of it worth the trouble that follows?

Alan's been Alone for as long as he can remember, he's never been loved. All it's ever been is him and his problems, him and his voices. Because how can Alan love someone when he can't love himself? Then there's Austin. He seems so perfect, so loved. But what is he hiding? What's in his past? and Can he help Alan find love?

When Austin, a new boy, moves to Alan's school, he's immediately taken in by a group of guys who bully Alan. But he seems so sweet; how could he ever be friends with them?

"I'm sick, Alan, really sick." Sometimes when you think it's the end, it's only the beginning. Austin thought he could save me, but in giving me everything, he ruined me. Because after one kiss, one touch, I couldn't - I wouldn't ever be the same. Especially since in the end, he won't be here. College sucks, specifically if you're, depressed, dying and in love.

Alan, a once outgoing, happy sixteen year old from Boston, is sent to live with his grandparents in California, following his parents death. Following their death, and old friends turning away from him, he decides to shut himself off from the world. He becomes quite, reserved, depressed and has refused to let anyone in since the night that changed his life forever. But what happens when Austin, a sixteen year old boy who is angry with life and one of the school's biggest bullies is dared to make Alan fall in love with him with the intentions of destorying him?

Austin, a warm and caring person, applies for a position in a mental hospital far away from his home in Phoenix. Looking to make a difference, and to really start his life, he takes the job. Alan, a 16 year old diagnosed with undifferentiated-type schizophrenia, is just trying to coast and find his way through the hospital without going into an episode when he meets the new orderly, Austin. Austin is taken with the young inpatient's beauty, and finds himself just wanting to be near Alan, and to help him. Alan feels an undeniable attraction to the older, but is ever held back by his paranoid delusions. How will he overcome? And how will Austin deal with his conflicting feelings?

Sequel to: tired yet? ||cashby|| With the school year, Alan is depressed again. His family has him under tight watch. He's avoided Austin for months, and taken up bad habits. Austin has gone mad with himself, so far from his love and dying for a little passion. Both are reeling from the pain. One night, though, Austin refuses to let it go. He won't spend one more night alone. He will change things; on his life, he'll renew the love that has gone missing.
