MY HEART IS A TICKING TIME BOMB. Allison Reid has a heart condition that may or may not take her life one day. To improve Allison’s chances of survival her parents have done everything in their power so that she doesn't have a normal high school experience. They made sure of it by telling everyone in town about her condition, making her an automatic outcast. Cole Hartford is the rumored-to-be dangerous transfer student who, surprisingly, is the first person in Allison’s life to not treat her like an invalid. Through a series of events that bring these unlikely two together, Allison now has another reason to worry about her ticking time bomb of a heart. And this time there may be no remedy to prevent it from stopping. “To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.” ― Oscar Wilde

The Aid

Evie has dealt with her fair share of traumatic events, and she just wants to focus on college and her beloved paintbrushes and bass guitar. Harry is just beginning to deal with the most traumatic events of his life: cancer and the American healthcare system, respectively. The two fellow students meet on a bus when Harry notices a stranger following her, and he walks her home to make sure she's safe. Months later, when she learns about his diagnosis, Evie returns the favor in the only way that makes sense: by marrying him. It's meant to be just on paper. She's merely helping him out financially through her mom's health insurance plan. Neither of them expects this simple favor to come with growing worry that turns into a reluctant friendship, which then spirals completely out of control before either can stop it. But it does, and now they're dealing with it in their own unique ways: Evie ignores it, and Harry ignores her ignoring it. // TW: cancer, strong language, alcohol/underage drinking, mentions of substance abuse, mentions of physical abuse, sexual content
