He tried to die. He failed. Now he needs to learn how to live again.
Meet Oscar Campos. He's a senior in high school, loves creating art, and has the snarkiest, most pessimistic attitude most people have ever encountered. He's also suicidal. Following his attempt, his therapist challenges him to find reasons to live and write about each one.
This story follows Oscar's journey as he learns to unpack the complex layers of who he is and how to cope with them. Struggling to stay afloat amid his mental illness, confusing sexuality, and an ever-distant father, he decides to do the one thing that he thinks might bring him some peace. With the help of his best friend, Oscar sets out to find the mother that left him as a young child, as well as, hopefully, enough reasons not to die.

Love in Denial
Ohm has always been confident in his identity-a straight guy with a loving girlfriend and a carefree attitude. Flirting has always been just a game to him, something harmless and meaningless. So when he starts teasing Leng, his new classmate, he thinks nothing of it. After all, they're both guys, and it's just for fun... right? But as the playful banter turns into lingering stares and an undeniable tension, Ohm finds himself drawn to Leng in a way he can't explain. The more he tries to convince himself it's nothing, the harder it becomes to ignore the truth. He isn't just playing around anymore-he's falling. Trapped between the life he's always known and the feelings he never expected, Ohm struggles to accept the possibility that he might not be as straight as he thought. And in a world that refuses to understand, loving another man feels like the greatest risk of all. Will Ohm find the courage to face himself and the judgment of others, or will he let fear dictate his fate?Abgeschlossene Geschichte

So Where Does that Put Us (boy x boy)
"When something terrible happens to someone, everyone feels sorry for you at first, they take your hand and cry fake tears and say how 'special' you are, how strong you are. But after a while they forget...Then they don't see a person anymore they just see this terrible thing and think you're terrible because of it...It's like a little switch that goes off in people's heads: one minute everyone is your friend and they care oh-so much, then, when things die down, they become terrified of you. You'd be surprised to see what fear can make someone do." Justin Ivanov has never led much of a normal life, but when his sister passes away, his entire world falls apart. Trapped in an abusive relationship and in a school where everyone is scared of him, Justin continues to deteriorate, pinning all his hope on his confused best friend, Ben Fulton. He struggles to keep his family together without them finding out the hidden secret of his sexuality. But the more he fails, the closer he gets to losing himself forever.

But when the sudden death of his best friend's sister leaves him feeling empty, he comes too close to comfort with just what depression can make someone do. Trying to sort out his own emotions, sexuality, and future out, Ben also has to balance trying to save Justin.
