❝ I don't even know why I even think of him so much, but I do, and it hurts.❞


-

A boy by the name of Lucas Middleton dies of a terminal illness, and with an assembly in school, his death changes the lives of a peculiar group of people.

A story that is told in three different perspectives:

ISABELLA DEL VECCHIO, the anxiety-ridden, closeted new girl with a hopeless crush on another girl, who has absolutely no relations to the dead boy.

As she finds the girl that she yearned for crying in a bathroom stall over the death of one of her friends, she finds herself getting pulled deeper and deeper into the death of the boy that she hasn't even ever spoken to in person.

NATHAN SMITH, the star player and captain of the baseball team, the most popular boy in school, and absolutely heartbroken over his best friend's death. 

He's confused, bewildered, sad and angered all at once. And sooner or later, he discovers his conflicting feelings about his ex-best friend, and that maybe it's alright to be the one that needs comforting.

LUCAS MIDDLETON, the quiet nobody that nobody every really took notice to and is just about managing with his daily financial needs. He has confusing, horrible, and hopeless feelings towards his best friend that is his polar opposite.

He's always wondered why his heart beats quicker than usual when he was around him, or why his stomach would be filled with butterflies when he looks into his eyes.

And with a diagnosis of a terminal illness, he has come to terms with and knows that his death won't be far.

Only question is, how far?

I pulled myself out as I shut my eyes in pain as little bits of shattered glass tore into my flesh. I managed myself out of the vehicle. I attempted to make my legs work again by standing slowly. I gathered all my strength before attempting to pick my brother up once again and walking as his feet dragged behind us. An explosion rang in my ears and sent me shooting against a tree on a wet patch of grass. Then it all goes black... ...::::...::::... Jeremy Mathews is a nerdy type of emo guy. He was involved in a tragic bus accident on his way from school. He's forgotten minor details of his life like his favorite outfit and color, but he's also forgotten some major things like his parents, his bully, his crush, his friends, his academics, and anything in between. He suffers from severe memory loss, no scrapbook can save him from this one. Martin Valve is Jeremy's bully. He's hated him since as long as anyone could remember but... no one knows why. Joyce Valentine is Jeremy's best friend and defender. She's always there for him. He can always find a safe place with her, including when he loses his memory. Xander Timmons is Jeremy's crush. He's the greatest guy you'll ever meet. Quarterback of the football team, nice, smart, and an all around good person. Will he be able to help Jeremy remember the details of his entire life, or maybe just the minor one that is, Xander. Xander has always been fond of the younger boy. He doesn't know why but he does know he cares for him, a lot. All Xander wants is for Jeremy to be the same guy he used to be. The nice, charismatic, loving, and sweet guy he's so used to. He'll do anything to get him back. (Sorry for the poorly written description) *complete* *In editing*

"Leo pinned me against the wall with his hips; his hands gently gripping my wrists, keeping my arms above my head against the cool brick behind me. His beautiful, hazy blue eyes -that had turned straight quicksilver, again- were filled with such an intense, carnal desire I couldn't even look into them, so I looked over his shoulder. I saw a small group of kids from the group standing out by their cars who would easily be able to see what we were doing...or at least what Leo was doing to me. At that moment, my mind started wandering to all the things that I could be doing to him right now...but I stopped that train of thought, immediately, as it started heading to all the wrong places... All the dirty places... All of those places involving a very hard part of my body... I glanced back at Leo; his gaze was still as intense as it was before (unfortunately). He smirked at me and said confidently, "You can't ignore me forever, Ethan. You're eventually gonna fall for my charms..." Ethan Carter was focused on 2 things. 1. School (obviously) and 2. Getting over ex (it's proving to be, harder than he thought), but now he has to add dying to that list, and suddenly having feelings for a boy (which has happened once before, but Ethan tries to forget it). Leo Malone makes Ethan feel things he's never felt for another guy. Leo's sweet, patient, and understanding, the only problem is, he's a guy. Ethan tries to ignore the fact that his heart flutters every time he sees Leo, or that he can't ever stop thinking about him; but if having cancer has taught him one thing, it's that, "You have to live in the present, as you may not have a future."

"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. Ben Fulton doesn't understand what depression is. He doesn't understand why people have it or how to fix it. 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. But the more he tries, the more his feelings grow for his best friend, and the closer Justin gets to destroying himself.
