He ends up locking away his emotions and making himself distant from the world, trying to avoid further suffering. He's left a shell of his former self, struggling to get through life. He decides to take time away from his abusive life by going on a week long school trip to collect his thoughts. He is placed in situations he couldn't have imagined. Theo is a laid back jock. He can come off as aggressive and bossy, usually around his friends, though he has a heart and can be quite kind. His life is hectic and full of annoying people.

Raiden never had it easy. Abused and hurt at a young age made him a shut off person. He wasn't the same person he was a few years back. Depressed, lonely, and cold. That's how he became. The marks on his body told stories too painful to hear, and too tough to witness. He never thought he'd fall in love again, or even talk again. His walls are thick and hard to crack. However, Thomas didn't believe so. Amidst the fight for power and control between the same family, and dark past ties to the present, Thomas refused to submit to anything against his beliefs. His one and only belief that everyone deserved a chance at love.

*COMPLETED* I am Jasper Sparks. I am my own stereotype. I am strong. I am worth it. I am human. For an eighteen year old who's life has been a mess filled with being the sole target in his homophobic school, having a cocaine addict as a mother and being raised by his aunt, sometimes he even comes home late after being beaten up in a parking lot. Of course he comes across as hostile and a social outcast. But one day a tall, soft eyed boy, with an equally sad past, asks to eat lunch with him and his world changes. He has a friend, he has support, he has a reason to believe in himself, and above all... he has someone who tells him he's worth it. Boy love, fluff, small hints of passion and many guaranteed nosebleeds!

Every Tuesday during football practice, sixteen year old Sem Bolton finds himself stealing glances at the gorgeous college boy jogging down the path next to the fields. He was his dirty little secret. His guilty pleasure. His unobtainable fantasy: safe and distant on the other side of the chainlink fence. Then, through a series of unpleasant events including being forced on a camping trip, it turns out his unobtainable fantasy is not so unobtainable after all. Not only is gorgeous college boy gay as well, he also wants to date Sem. Now, Sem was never one to play it safe. But outing himself was in a whole different league than testing his mother's patience or taking hits in the boxing ring. Was he really ready to date a guy, all consequences included? As if internal struggles weren't enough, count on girls, friends, and an estranged brother, to complicate stuff even further. Photo on the cover by: https://unsplash.com/@nickkarvounis
