Three years. that's all it's taken for Vic Fuentes to lose hope in the guy he once loved. Kellin Quinn, now 24, is pursuing his dream and love of music, but times are hard for them both. Vic, who still does therapy has not moved on since that morning he awoke to find no Kellin in his bed. Kellin though, he was long gone. Now in a steady relationship with Oliver Sykes, Kellin's mind hasn't slipped back to Vic, not yet anyways. But it will.

WARNING: SELF-HARM AND ANOREXIA On tour, Kellin battles his demons. He thinks he has no one, but when he and Vic rekindle their friendship, he'll discover he's not as alone as he previously thought.

Kellin Quinn spends most of his time in Ash Brooks Hospital, being treated for his health issues. Vic Fuentes is a nurse in training who needs 2000 hours of volunteer work at a hospital. Just so happens, that hospital is Ash Brooks Hospital.

Being stripped of trouble is easier said than done, especially when it's doubled. Despite not knowing of each other's existences, Kellin Quinn and Vic Fuentes have the power to wreak havoc in almost every place, and on almost every person. Little does their new home, a Christian boarding school for troubled teens, know what chaotic mess they just might have created by assigning both boys as room mates.

(TRIGGER WARNING. Contains many suicide themes) After a bad break-up with his boyfriend, Kellin feels like he's left with nothing, so he attempts suicide. Now he's thrown into suicide watch and there's only one person who he feels like opening up to; the positive and cheery volunteer, Vic.

This is the sequel to It's Harder Breathing Next To You. It's set three years later and...well I don't want to put up a summary just in case there are people who haven't read IHBNTY and want to read it and don't want spoilers. --- If you have the original cover PM me please :(

Kellin has a lot of issues which he covers up with acting out and being down right sassy. Vic, his new guidance counselor and teacher, however sees right through his carefree act. Vic just wants to help him, like any guidance counselor would, but he didn't expect to get so close.

Kellin always believed that everyone had their one true love. To him, it was a once in a life time thing, and that was where he drew the line. He's about to learn fast that there aren't any rules for who you fall for, or when you're allowed to fall for them. (C) thekellinundethevic
