"he lost himself holding onto someone who didn't care about losing him." in which a boy writes anonymous letters and throws them away as airplanes. » completed as of August 17, 2015 ((Wattys2015)) ((I wrote this in the hospital and I was under the influence of a lot of drugs and painkillers, so some of the scenes probably don't make a lot of sense. I thought about editing it but I'm lazy and it was kind of funny reading back through it after I was discharged.)) ((long story short, i wasn't thinking straight and I wasn't in the right condition to produce coherent writing.))

"I'm not going to cry for you, Roman. I won't let you break my heart." But I could feel myself breaking, even as I said the words. The unmistakable feeling of grief was rising up in me and making it hard for me to breath. I could see Roman in the soft light the street lamp shone on both of us. His mouth tilted up, slowly into a sad smile. "I'll try my hardest to avoid that. But there's something you should know Greg." He paused and my breaths came out uneven, shaky as I waited for him to respond. "I don't make promises I'm certain I can't keep." Greg Hanes has been straight for most of his life. He's had girlfriend after girlfriend but none of them have worked. When he went to Doverhall School for Boys he planned on getting away from all the drama, but things change when a certain someone grabs his attention. The problem? He's a guy. //This book is a spin-off of One Thousand Paper Cranes, but you don't have to read that book in order to read this one. I would advise it though because, while there are new characters in this one, most of the characters come from One Thousand Paper Cranes//

Based on Troye Sivan's Blue Neighbourhood trilogy. ❝What if we just drove away?" he asked me, hands on the railing. "Leave this blue neighbourhood?" His curls were in artful disarray. I wanted to kiss him. "Where would we go?" I asked. Lately, he'd been talking about blue neighbourhoods a lot. According to him, a blue neighbourhood was a place where you most felt at home, and you could always go back to. I didn't think I had a blue neighbourhood, to be honest.❞
