From past and present experiences, Sam finds it difficult to open up and show others the real him. His father treats him like an overworked donkey. His brother is not much better. They say everything happens for a reason, so when a homeless man who's communication skills are lacking walks into his life... Everything changes, things begin slotting into place... but for how long?

Cause for Concern ✓
Saying that Max Oran is a disaster would be an understatement: he got himself kicked out of school, his dad has sent him to live with his emotionally distant mother and his friends don't want anything to do with him.

As Max develops new bonds and begins to fall for Cole, he realizes that, despite everything, he might have stumbled into something beautiful. Eager to embrace the second chance that life has given him, Max begins counseling and, with the help of Cole and his newfound friends, tries to move forward. However, he quickly realizes that there are more bumps ahead than he was prepared for and is forced to decide if he's going to push past his problems or let his mistakes hold him back forever.

Say Something 【boyxboy】√Completed
Jude doesn't talk. He can't, even when he wants to. They don't want to hear what he has to say, and they only use their words to hurt him. So why even try anymore? Starting at a new school seems like the perfect opportunity to blend into the background, but it isn't far enough away to start over. Some people just won't let him forget about his past. The teachers don't understand. He can't tell them why. He can't say anything at all. Ross understands. Ross writes to him. Slowly, he pulls Jude out of his shell, waiting for him to say something. ----- Say Something is a story of overcoming fear with the help of friendship and love. As someone who has struggled with anxiety, I tried to do something a little different with my writing style this time by including a lot of thoughts and feelings rather than a ton of description and detail. I'd like to add that it mentions things like sex and violence but I don't plan on going into any graphic detail in this story. There is also occasional cursing. I hope you give it a chance and leave feedback for me as I post new chapters over time. Thank you so much for checking it out!

Take this as a warning for the whole book. --- Samuel never thought that moving out of his childhood home would make such a drastic change in his life, at least it wasn't supposed to. When moving the last of his things in to his new home, he meets his upstairs neighbours: Taylor, and her boyfriend Benjamin. At first everything seemed normal, until Samuel begins to notice things about the couple that prove everything to not be quite as perfect as he first thought they were. ••• If you are reading this story on any other platform than Wattpad you are very likely to be at risk from a malware attack.
