Deep in the dark, I don't need the light...

Kyle Layden has become used to the rumors that hover around him. The inescapable lies surround him, numerous and ever-present. His bad-boy reputation keeps most people away, but even that can never fully protect him from the hell of his past and the struggles of his present.

Collin Reech is the openly gay boy who is bullied at school and abused at home. With nothing to ease his struggles, he can't imagine things ever getting better, only worse.

What happens when their two troubled paths cross? Will things finally start to lift up for both of them, or will it all come crashing down in a tumbling mess?

Shadows & Stars by grxxnzy

Henry is a hot nerd.. like really hot. People cant keep their eyes off him. He gets groped and hit on around every corner. His best friends, Eloise and Zachary are extremely mean toward other people and cant interact socially thanks to their temper. They easily get annoyed and they both have resting bitch faces. Fortunately for Henry, they are two of the few people who don't use Henry for his looks. Henry has been through a lot in his life and has fallen victim to depression and self harm. He hides it well seeing as he doesn't want attention from other people. He doesn't like confronting people because he likes to hold a high status and doesn't want anyone to dislike him. Although, he unfortunately got a stalker thanks to his good looks... He doesn't realize this until one particular night. *** This is your average gay book. It does contain graphic parts. But who doesn't like reading a book about horny teenagers?
