Life was never easy on Tyler Copeland. He'd struggled with a number of mental disorders for as long as he could remember, subject to bullying at school and neglect at home. But he always had his best friend Monica by his side. Now that they had finally graduated high school, Monica was due to travel interstate for university, when tragedy struck.  
"We were supposed to walk home together..."

Trying to turn the page after "the incident" that shook his perspective on life, Tyler finds love in the most unexpected places and realises perhaps he doesn't have to face everything alone. 

A journey of recovery, self-acceptance, trust and first love. Follow Tyler's personal mission to discover the truth, as he learns to accept fate and himself. 

This is an original work of fiction, not fanfiction.  It explores the butterfly effect, mental disorder, forms of abuse (sexual, physical, mental, emotional), LGBT romances, violence and drug use. This novel is an ongoing passion project for me, so any feedback would be greatly appreciated! I hope you enjoy.

Also, side note, there are a few mature scenes that contain sexual content, so if you aren't comfortable with that then you might have to skip a few chapters here and there. Otherwise, enjoy!

You Are the Shell to My Tortoise | ✓ by LotteStarburst

Nolan, an unapproachable guy who ignores the existence of all his schoolmates, sleeps in all of his classes. Normally, this wouldn't be Chelsea Arnold's problem--she does her best to pay attention in class and attends gym like a good, normal student. Unfortunately, she just so happens to be his assigned desk partner in many classes. She's frequently forced to wake him in English class and ends up earning the unofficial title of Nolan's Wake-up Alarm--a title that nobody in the entire school covets. The last thing she wants is to interact with him more than she absolutely has to. One day, their gym teacher sends her to bring him back to class, which he always skips for some reason. When she accidentally shines her flashlight in his sleeping face, it triggers a chain of events that gradually intertwines their lives together. It's hard to be a normal student when you start befriending the school oddball. It doesn't help that he has more secrets than the Big Ben has stairs. ----- Complete.
