Valencia May was born with lymphoma. As she arrives to a new hospital, she adjusts to life of being on the inside looking out. She soon meets some who isn't looking out, but looking in from the outside. Janice, the 5 year old with misery unspoken, and her brother who is half living. The three intwine themselves with careful hope and faith in the future, and help Valencia from drowning in what she's always been in. A box. But In every story, someone falls in love. Sadly, love for Valencia isn't possible. Can she hold onto a secret that's been holding her back since the start of the end? Or will it change the line of events for everybody she's pulled close. Full of heartbreak, raw humor, and something to fight for, "Spare Me The Hopeless" will intoxicate you with the pains of first loves, and first hates.

Shy Eyes & Rose Skies
Rose has always believed in love-the kind that sweeps you off your feet, the kind worth waiting for. But after years of holding onto Ezra, the boy who gave her just enough attention to keep her hoping but never enough to take the next step, she's starting to wonder if maybe she's been chasing a dream that doesn't exist. Enter Mateo-the new guy in school from Oregon. Quiet, reserved, and with shy eyes that say more than his words ever could. He only has one friend, keeps to himself, and blends into the background... until Rose walks into his world. Mateo falls first, and he falls hard. Every smile she gives, every laugh he overhears, only pulls him deeper. But Rose is still tangled in the almost-love with Ezra, too blinded to see what's right in front of her. Slowly, though, she begins to notice-the way Mateo listens, the way he shows up without asking for anything in return, the way his silence feels steadier than Ezra's loudest promises. And when she finally lets go of the boy who never chose her, she realizes she's falling-this time into something real, something lasting. A hopeless romantic story about timing, letting go, and discovering that the quietest love can sometimes be the loudest.Complete

While May is facing ALL – Acute Lymphotic Leukemia, Cassandra fights against CC – Colorectal Cancer. Will their fight end right or will it all come to an end before their life is able to start? 'I want to be remembered as the girl who used to make everybody smile, no matter how weak she was,' she whispers weakly and closes her eyes, 'I want to be remembered as the one who fought a battle and lost because she rescued someone else. I want to be remembered because I was the one who fell in love with someone with cancer and died because she did.' 'No darling, keep on fighting,' her mother says, but it doesn't help. 'I'm sorry I had to put you through this,' the girl's weak voice says. Her eyes fly open and she clinches her hands into fists, like she wants to fight. Her eyelids close and her hands relax. 'No,' her mother says and hugs the cold body of the girl she raised, but died too soon.Complete

And sometimes, staying is the bravest thing of all. 💔 𝐀 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐰𝐨 𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐧 𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐟𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐢𝐧 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞, 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐞𝐭 𝐠𝐨, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐲-𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐢𝐭 𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐭𝐬.
