"Part of the problem with the word "disabilities" is that it immediately suggests an inability to see or hear or walk or do other things that many of us take for granted. What of people who can't feel? Or talk about their feelings? Or manage their feelings in a constructive way? What of people who aren't able to form close and strong relationships? And people who can not find fulfillment in their lives, or those who have lost hope, who live in disappointment and bitterness and find in life no joy, no love? These, it seems to me, are the real disabilities." 
- Fred Rogers

Anthony Antra is a typical high schooler, with above average grades and a typical home life, with his mom and younger sister. Oh, and he sits in a wheelchair. 

Ethan Brookend shows up in the middle of the year, and he's immediately drawn to Anthony. They have a rocky beginning, but will it ever lead to something more?

Anthony's best friend, Beck Coppurn, has a long term girlfriend, Bree Ordan, but their parents hate their relationship, and have been working to break them apart for years. The pair want to move in together as soon as they graduate, but they need to find a way to get around their nagging parents.

Growing up, Rue has always found his mother's rules strange. Rue was told never to take off the gloves while outside, and before a speck of new growth could grow on his head, his mother would dye the color brown. Rue loved her very much, but he always felt her behavior was unnatural, and never knew why. Until one day, Rue and his best friend are attacked by three teens who have been causing them trouble for years. When Rue's best friend is injured in front of him, a power Rue never knew he had awakened. Overwhelmed, Rue blanks out. When Rue finally regains consciousness, he saw that two of their attackers were gone along with most of their surroundings. When one of the teens managed to get away, he turned the entire town against Rue. Desperate to protect her son, Rue's mother forces him into an enchanted barrier to a world he never knew existed. A world where people were magical, and they flew alongside birds, fairies, and dragons. Rue's mother truly believed he would be safe there, but Rue quickly learned that was not the truth. *** This magical story is about adventure, survival, friendship, and discovering a love so strong that not even death can break it. - Important Book information 'No Place For Me' is 120,000 -150,000 K words | Copyrighted © 2020 So please be respectful and not copy my work, translate into another language or repost.

17 parts Complete Mature
"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.
