What Was Left At Camp by BrendanJG

I wish to edit this story and make few changes but I am wrapped up in others. This is my first attempt at writing so... hope you like. Edits may happen in time but for now, the story will remain as is. At the age of Seven, Christian came out to his parents. His parents accepted him with open arms but with concerns the world may not, they took matters into their own hands. They raised Christian to be a confident, strong minded young man with the capability of defending himself both mentally and physically. Christian was ready to tackle the world and everything he loved, including Football. At the age of fourteen, he decided he would spend his summer at a well known football camp to perfect his skills. That's where he met his first love and boyfriend, Billy, who disappeared the last week of camp. Four years later, when a new student named William transfers to his school, it throws Christians life into chaos. William reminded Christian of Billy. He was convinced his lost love had been found. One problem, William insisted he wasn't this Billy person Christian assumed him to be. Will Christian ever learn of what happened to his lost love or ruin everything he's worked so hard to accomplish in his attempts to find the truth?

Broken Until You by dreamaquarius

[COMPLETED] Autumn Cross is now in 12th grade at her new school, Willington High, with only one goal in mind: passing the 12th grade and going to a good college. But her world changes when she meets Ryder Becker. Ryder Becker is one of the most popular boys in all of Willington High. I mean, all the boys want to be him and all the girls worship him. He could care less about grades because he knows that football is what's going to get him into a good college. But his carelessness in grades changes when he meets Autumn. Not only does Autumn get partnered up with Ryder for the biggest class project of the whole year, she also lives on the same street as him. In the beginning she thinks it's a total curse, but maybe it's a blessing in disguise... They both may pretend on the outside that they are fine, but truth be told, they are both broken. The way his smile doesn't match his sad eyes draws her towards him, and the scars and bruises on her skin draw him towards her. A cure for your sadness could be another person, right? Well put her broken pieces together with his, and you have cracked the code. Love could put their broken pieces back together. ----------------------------------- A sky full of stars and he was still staring at me. "Why are you staring like that?" I asked him. "You scare me, Autumn." Ryder admitted. "How come?" He looked down at the grass beneath us then back at me and gulped. "Because I want to tell you secrets I'm too scared to admit to myself." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 🤍I wrote this when I was around 13-14 (i'm 19 now) so some chapters may be cringy but I am too lazy to rewrite them, and still so many people enjoy this book and i'm truly grateful!
