Finally free from the cage he was born in, Cedar begins his flight through the ever-extending sky. But his tender heart was not prepared for the cruelties and hardships the real world holds for him.

Now coming in terms with his internal conflicts and embracing his dreams to the fullest stands as his biggest obstacle. However, as the clock ticks by and his time together with July draws to an end, Cedar discovers that running away from your feelings isn't as easy as running away from home.

Will Cedar finally be able to become more honest with himself? Will the wish his best friend made with love be finally fulfilled? Join Cedar in his journey of self-discovery in the final book of this tear-soaked duology.

Tough Love - Miguel Diaz by ilikemyselffalot

Aurora Worthington's life was a picture-perfect script, written by people who cared more about appearances than authenticity. In Encino Hills, she was the queen of the high school elite-the untouchable blonde with an icy smile and a wardrobe that could grace a runway. To everyone else, she had it all. But beneath the surface, Aurora was drowning in a sea of her own insecurities, believing that love was something reserved for people who deserved it. People unlike her. Her world was black and white-cold and lifeless-until a lanky boy from Reseda stepped into her life. Miguel Diaz was the kind of person she had been taught to ignore. He was earnest, kind, and completely different from anyone she'd ever known. He wasn't wrapped in the privilege of Encino; he was wrapped in hope, determination, and an unshakable belief in second chances. It was love at first sight-well, at least for Miguel. Aurora tried her best to ignore the way his big brown eyes followed her everywhere she went or how he took every opportunity to talk to her. But the more she pushed him away, the more she felt her carefully guarded walls start to crack. For the first time in her life, Aurora wondered if someone could see past the mask she wore-and if she was brave enough to let them.

The MagCon Ships II: In Time (Shaylor)(BoyxBoy) by babyblueeyes_2

He looks at me, but only for a short time. A glance, a little meeting of our eyes. Then he looks away. We've been in love, we've been with each other, holding one tight and never wanting to let go. We've been in our best times and worst. I love him and he loves me back. But now, it doesn't seem like it. As our on-and-off relationship continues on our lives get harder every day. Having MagCon, school, and performances is a lot to handle. It becomes a quest of getting each other back. Taylor, he considers himself as the hottest boy in school, and I can't argue with that. He possesses this massive ego, despite being stuck in the closet. He smiles and laughs, but it's different. He doesn't do it with me anymore. I remember when we used to cry of laughter together, smile, giggle, and plant little kisses on each other's nose and lips. He's changed. He may like someone else now, maybe in his mind we've already broken up. I know that, because he looks at other people. The way he used to look at me.
