"There's definitely guys who would want to date you. And I can say that with certainty because... because..." Deep breath. "Because Ty, I want to date you. We do." Brendon x Josh x Tyler

"Take me to the carnival and be my best friend we can have a tea party and we can play pretend" ⚠️⚠️TRIGGER WARNING: ABUSE, SEXUAL HARASSMENT, SEXUAL ABUSE⚠️⚠️

Tyler's a basketball player, who stresses over everything. He falls into little space more often than not. Josh, his english teacher. Just so happens to witness this and man he has no idea what to do.

BOOK TWO On the outside, Julian Douglas has everything: college athlete, good grades, friends who think he's unstoppable. But inside, he's unraveling. And the one person who ever made him feel whole-the boy he loved and lost-is the one person he can't let go of. Paul Jones is brilliant, beautiful, and broken. His art reaches millions, but behind the screens and gallery walls, he's drowning in silence, addiction, and a love that still lingers. When Julian and Paul collide again, old wounds resurface, old habits threaten to consume them, and both must decide if love is enough to heal what life has shattered. Heartbreaking, intimate, and unflinching, Alone explores the raw edges of mental illness, addiction, and the desperate, dangerous hope of holding onto someone who feels like home. : : : "I'm your boyfriend, Jules." He looked so sad then, so completely vulnerable and it was my fault. It was all my fault and I didn't notice until it was too late. "Do you forget that?" Maybe I did. Maybe I thought ignoring him would stop these feelings from surfacing, that missing him wouldn't take over if I never thought of him. And Paul had sighed, his hands coming up to wipe the few tears that hadn't fallen. His cheeks were flushed, he'd done enough crying for the day, and his hair was all over the place from his frustrated tugging. We'd both looked rough but seeing him just as a mess as I was... it made my heart hurt. So did his next words and I knew he'd already given up. "Do you wanna be with me or do you just not wanna be alone?"

Brendon wanted something but was never willing to push himself, until he finally does. As a last resort he downloads Tinder, and who he matched with has something a little different in mind, but Brendon isn't one to say no. - (Non-binary!Tyler)

♡A-A-A-A-A-And they call you Baby Blue, 'cause it's your favorite colour♡ After being expelled, Tyler is sent to a boarding school for 'troubled youths' where a certain teacher catches his eye. But life at Rose Wood Towers is not simple. Tyler's lost for who he is, and tries to find purpose behind a colour which soon becomes a steady-growing obsession for meaning. Tyler's also careless and reclusive, so when somebody breaks down his walls he's unsure on how to follow through. The entire 'affair' concept had always been a fake label for something real in denial- but there was an unnoticed danger far bigger than their feelings.
