Maxwell Ivar Posner is a run away 18 year old from Santa Ana, California who made his way to Willoughby, Ohio. He finds work at a diner where the owner, Vivian takes him under her wing and helps him to his feet. While working that the diner Max meets Dalia Ivy Xander, the 17 year old, nerdy cheerleader from the town's private school. Max knows he doesn't have a chance with the red headed girl he refers to as "Lil Red" due to him not being able to remember her name. She was the beautiful cheerleader and he was the weirdo 'emo' kid who dropped out of high school to run away. Max and Dalia fight the feeling as the start to fall for each other. Before Max knows it, Lil Red has his black and white world filled with color.

just continuing my life I guess.

He is a boy who hated life. Who never showed any gratitude what so ever. The word "smile" is a word of bitterness in his vocabulary. Like everyone, he wanted to be happy, But there's one thing he needed to do before it could ever happen. [O N G O I N G S E R I E S] All Rights Reserved 2013

Tanis is the loner emo girl, no friends, only bullies. Cutting daily. Until friendly, mysterious Jared Leto comes along. He seems to stop the pain, and Tanis' life finally seems to be getting better. Until a tradgedy strikes, so massive that Tanis finds herself going back to her old ways. Can Jared save her life one more time? DISCLAIMER: I do not own 30 Seconds To Mars. I also don't own Oakton, Virginia (or wherever Tanis lives lol). All I own is the plotline and all the characters that aren't Jared or Shannon. I'm putting it here because I can not be arsed to write it at the start of each chapter. ^-^
