"Look in the mirror Calum, you're beautiful, and everything that's beautiful is mine." "I don't belong to you." ~ In which Michael Clifford never has trouble getting anything he wants, except for the insecure shy boy who hates looking in the mirror. Side of Lashton. • Started December 20th, 2015 • • Completed June 22nd, 2016 •

Phil doesn't have a best friend in his life. That is, until Dan turns up at his school. They become close and Phil finds out that Dan has a twin brother, but hates to talk about him. It's not until Phil comes over to Dan's house that he finds out why.

Phil is an orphan, bullied, and living alone with no friends in a home. He does his best not to let that fact that no one seems to care about him get to him, but it's getting harder. Then a nice couple start to take interest in him, and it turns out they have a son his age, Daniel, but the love they begin to share isn't of a brotherly nature...

"We can do the lessons, and if one of us falls in love, we'll stop seeing each other and the lessons as well." "Okay, deal."

The polaroid photo - people say if you shake it, it will develop faster, but in truth it just ruins it. Phil is a working class, geeky, lonely boy toddling through life with his camera. When his family falls on hard times, he is forced out of his bubble and into the real world. Playlist: http://open.spotify.com/user/geemariedavis/playlist/5rY1pXAQSfsPyGUdTn5bpc

Dan and Phil have been best friends for years. However, there are many secrets they don't know about each other. Dan has hidden his entire past from Phil, and Phil still needs to share a few bits and pieces about his. But that's not all they've kept hidden; the former secrets were merely things they've tried to forget. These secrets, they eat at them each day, aching to be let out of their dark cave but fearing rejection and hate. Will they find a way to spill their cups full of secrets, or will they stay enclosed forever? If they do end up set loose, what will become of the two boys? You'll have to read to find out.
