Life has become something else after Los Angeles had been closed off from the rest of the world. The rich stay in power, safe from all the danger in the city by building literal and metaphorical walls to keep the money in and the poor out. Once or twice a month the city is ravaged by monsters in search of blood and destruction. The city would be in ruins if it wasn't for a strange masked figure.
My name is Alex Cruz. I am a Latin teen currently living a life more luxurious than the Kardashians. It wasn't always like this. I used to be like any normal kid with a single mom working a 9 to 5. That was all until my mom with the help of two of her richest clients was able to become one of the most successful women in finance, owning a multi-million dollar business and throwing us into an entirely new way of life. But my new life isn't all just big houses, fancy limo rides, and money. When the sun sets on this city, secrets unfold. The only things I have to save me from this hell of a city are two of my best friends and a strong mother.

My heart pulsated through my chest and I didn't think I could hold on for much longer. The frightening, terrorising feeling of his fingers slipping through mine was causing the arm that was gripping to the edge of the cliff to shake. "Hold on, Harry! I've got you, I swear! Please, just hold on!" my voice held a shrill of terror to it and my eyes were filling with tears; tears of pain, frustration and sheer horror. Harry moved his gaze from our slipping fingers to my eyes. "It's okay, Ethan. Let go. You can't save me; not this time." I hated how calm his tone was. I hated how defeated he sounded. He had never given up - we always held hope for one another! We never gave up. "Don't you say that to me! Don't you fucking say that to me!" I roared, a small sob escaping my lips. Harry just smiled sadly, his muscular, beautiful body swaying in the harsh wind. The fall was so big; he would surely die of a heart attack before he hit the ground. I prayed to God he would. No. I was breaking my own rule; I would not give up on him. Either both of us lived or neither of us would. My life would be over the second his ended, anyway.Complete![No Place For Me | [boyxboy]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/181466534-256-k47105.jpg)

Alone & Far From Home
Our Street Corners Keep Secrets This is me asking for a brick to be thrown through my window, a message attached that reads, "Why can't you just wake up?" I am not a star, don't look up to me in hopes of finding something more. That which is out of reach does not promise anyone a goddamn thing. Hope arises in possibility, but possibility is fragmented and selfish, so don't think for a second that I am safe ground to walk on. I will sink beneath the feet of a thousand traveling companions, and make ruin of any city's foundations, because concrete and steel can never tell a soul how it feels. Our street corners keep secrets, and our road signs only suggest, never deciding for us, never knowing if the destination to which they lead, is where we truly belong. Life's greatest tragedy is not that it will some day end, but that most of us just live to follow directions, and many times we end up totally lost. - Alexander William GaskarthComplete
The Limits of Love
Fred is your typical teenager; moody, has low-self esteem, and is really bad at math. The only thing that makes him different from the other guys is his taste in music and his sexuality. He knows what he wants right from the start, but is scared of other people thoughts and judgements, and that's why he's kept himself inside the closet ever since he realized he's not really into girls. He tried to hide it from everyone else, even to his close circle of friends, but all of his plans started going south when he meets their new neighbor, Darren, a very handsome fellow who moved to Los Angeles with his family all the way from South Korea to live at the house on the other side of the road. Fred falls for him at first-sight, and things started to escalate when he found out that they were on the same class, and things got even more deeper when Darren agreed to be his tutor in calculus. That's when he realized that his hiding needed to stop. Witness as the two of them struggle with their hardships, relationships, and responsibilities in life as they try to keep their friendship intact from a rollercoaster ride of emotions. Will they manage to keep their relationship as it is, or will it develop into something more, that even an ocean spanning miles and miles couldn't completely separate them from one another?Complete

By night, he is a fantasy to the kingdom's masked elites. But one night, he meets a stranger who doesn't seek pleasure.

As secrets unravel and a rebellion grows beneath the surface of the kingdom, Vicente must decide whether the promise of freedom is worth the cost, and whether love can bloom in a world where no one dares to show their true face.
