Riley Stevens is seventeen, has a great dad, an adorable sister and the most best and supportive of friends she could ask for. The only problem? Her cancer. Leukaemia. Its been gone for almost a year now but it's slowly going to kill her, her family isn't giving up, her friends are supportive and caring, but Riley doesn't know what to do. Then they move next door. The Wentz' and their son Pete. Pete's different. He's strange, caring, crazy, at war with his emotions all the time; but him and Riley work. Their odd little friendship works and develops but that could change at any moment couldn't it? "With you I fall. It's like I'm leaving all my past in silhouettes up on the wall. With you I'm a beautiful mess. It's like we're standing hand in hand with all our fears up on the edge." (Title from Sad Song by We The Kings feat. Elena Coats)

Summary: 25 year old Audrey Collins lives an ordinary life; works part time at Starbucks and lives alone with her dog in her fairly sized apartment in Chicago. Nothing exciting ever happens to her; the most interesting thing would have to be when she sometimes goes out with her friends on a Saturday night. Everything was normal. Until that one night. After a night out with the girls, Audrey is walking back to her car, when she hears a groan in an alleyway and finds a man terribly drunk. But he isn't just any man, it just happens to be Patrick Stump from a rock band known as Fall Out Boy - but Audrey doesn't realise this until she takes him back to her apartment, in an attempt to help him. A strange friendship forms between the two; he shows her his world and she shows him hers. But how can they have a normal friendship when Audrey begins to feel something towards the celebrity. Are they meant to be or is it all just a dream? All that Audrey knows is that it's definitely unexpected.
