What happens when one boy shatters everything you thought you knew about yourself? "I don't like boys. But I like you. Does that make sense?" "No." "Good."

When Madison Banks moves to California with her dad after her parents divorce, she's ready for the sun, the waves, and the beach Hotties. Little did she know she would meet a California hottie whom she would fall madly in love with. But not every girl is what she seems. Not every girl can take the pain of falling for a guy when she just fell out of love with someone else. And when the two people she loves end up in the same room with her at the same time, what could NOT go wrong? Can she handle it? {Guys this was written in 2014 so the events happening in here are related to that time so it's very different than how it would be if it were written now. }

Life gets better? Try telling that to Ashton Irwin, who's life has only been shit. He doesn't believe in anything or himself anymore, and he's nearing his breaking point. Luke Hemmings is the new kid, and he immediately becomes well known; due to his charming looks and personality. But when he sees the hazel eyed boy sitting alone at lunch, he finds himself making it his goal to make Ashton happy again. Will he fix him before it's too late? Or will Ashton slip right through his fingertips? WARNING: foul language, self harm, suicidal actions/thoughts, and eating disorders.

Ashton is okay right now. He's always like this after a bad bout. He starts off saying that the world is his oyster and he loves everyone, but when the energy and fresh success fades, so does he. Luke knows. He knows about all of Ashton's problems. He knows about the time Ashton was bullied nearly to the brink, the family deaths and friend losses, and the ups and downs, the latter of which seem to be more common lately. It's been so easy lately for Ashton to slip after a joke gone wrong, or a jab on Twitter. Ashton always says he's sorry, repeating it again and again if only to convince himself. Luke knows he's sorry, knows that he can't help it. And he'll sit by the bathtub for hours, holding Ashton, to make sure that he knows someone loves him. None of the other boys know. Ashton couldn't bring himself to tell them and face their disapproving stares too, and he wouldn't let Luke tell them, so he's stuck in this half state of secrecy and confession to Luke. Ashton hasn't gone too far yet, not far enough that Luke can't patch him up with gauze, antibiotics, and a long hug. But someday, someday, Luke knows Ashton won't be able to take it anymore, and Ashton will die. And Luke will be all alone.
