*sequel to First Time* *cover by Lunagust* If there was one thing Jerome Roy could change about his life, he wouldn't even have to think about his answer: Nothing. He wouldn't change anything at all. Sure, he doesn't have the best relationship with his parents, but it only shows that they want him to be perfect. Nolan Prince, on the other hand, might want to change a few things, but not as of right now. Right now, he couldn't be happier, especially with Jerome. After all, nobody can tear about Jerlan. Right?

*cover by MissRed237* Nolan Prince comes from a large family of seven children, one of which is married. (Not to mention his parents will probably pop out more kids).

After being kicked out of his home when he came out, he moved down to Miami, Florida from Lachine, Quebec with his best friend Mae when he was seventeen. At least he was able to find his true love by doing so. Over a year later, Jerome and Nolan couldn't be more in love, even when one is in college and the other is still in high school. They're always able to find their way through any problem. So how about when Jerome's vlogging channel blows up?

“Love’s like a bullet. It’s fast. It’s furious. Sometimes you can’t see it coming. You can run from it. But you can’t dodge it.

Will she let her walls down and let Leonardo in her heart? * My hands trembled as I took a shaky breath. I should've done something, I should've realized it sooner. The pain and desperation I saw in her eyes every time I looked at her. Damn it! I looked at the right corner of the letter. It was stained with dried blood, her blood. Suddenly a shrill cry of a machine snapped me out of my thoughts and I looked up. A team of doctors and nurses were running straight into Amber's room carrying a defibrillator. No. I stood up from the chair I was sitting and ran up to the room but a nurse stopped me. "Sir, you can't go in." The nurse said. I tried to push the nurse away but it was useless, she held on tightly. "NO! AMBER! PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME! I LOVE YOU!" I screamed at the top of my lungs but it was useless, she was gone.

Bruises, Lies, Stalking, Cover ups, Parties, Hospital trips, Forests, Pole dancing, Running away, and Maybe just a bit of love... 《Carmen's body stopped struggling. The bubbles forming from her air stopped and the water became still. Fred stood there in shock. He was as afraid as me. And I was practically shitting my pants. Taylor let go of Carmen's head. Carmen's lifeless body fell to the concrete floor with a loud thump. Taylor's hands were red even after she wiped them on her shirt. She picked up the gun and kicked Carmen's lifeless body. She took a step towards Fred and I. But I feared my own safety. My gun pointed at Taylor. She stopped walking her face going pale. She looked at Fred then at me. Her lips slowly turning into her usual smirk. "Go ahead. Kill me babe. Shoot me, dead. That way we can both become murders and rot in hell along with everyone in this basement." She took two steps closer. "Stop. I don't want to hurt you." I whispered. 》
