"Theo gave up everything for Dylan... but will Dylan realize the truth before it's too late?"
After a sudden, unexplained absence, Theo returns to his boss, Dylan, with one request-financial help. But Dylan, swayed by the whispers of friends, believes the worst of him. What he doesn't know is that Theo has sacrificed his family, his future, and even his health to support Dylan's dreams.
Unaware that he's on borrowed time, Theo hides his terminal illness behind quiet smiles and fading strength. But there's one secret Theo can't bear to tell-the love that never faltered, even when Dylan forgot him.
Now, as Theo's time slips away, Dylan must confront the truth: some sacrifices are made in silence, and love, if not seen, may be lost forever. Can Dylan open his eyes in time?.

I'm a forever amateur writer wannabe, so forgive me for any inconsistencies. There are times I'm full of passion while writing, and other times my obsessive self just wants to finish the chapter so I can move on to the next part where I'm really invested.
In any case, thank you for any support-reads, votes, comments, and kind feedback are welcome! If you liked it, please share!

Ready for My Impromptu Love
(Boy's Love) A very studious student who's always prepared for anything. Helio, as much as everyone calls him. One thing he wasn't prepared for was when he had an accident during his high school years. All went dark, and the only thing he remembered was the light that flickered. Now, he doesn't remember any memories as far from his senior years. But one thing's for sure, his best friend, Sage, knows something - something significant that could've changed the course of his past life. [ This book hasn't been proofread yet.

I Fell in Love with a Bad Boy
CRINGE WARNING! First book I ever wrote on here!! -- "Sometimes the person who you are willing to take a bullet for is the person behind the gun." I stood peering over the cold lifeless body that lay before my eyes. I had always thought of death the enemy, but right now, I blessed it upon the person who is now at peace. Sometimes you don't need to be the smartest, or the fastest, but you do need to be wisest. They say the blood runs deeper than water, and I believe it, because even though the people that we love can turn on us and begin to hate us, they are only human, meaning that soon they will begin to see how short life really is and how it is not to be wasted. People who seem perfect and they look like they have no floors'; they are the people who are suffering, like I was. But I found my savior in the most uncommon place. He was able to look through my mask, he saw the cracks, and tried to fix the broken girl that hid away deep inside the girl who only wanted to be seen as 'fine'. I slowly began to find comfort and safety in him, and I did the same to him. We were two broken people becoming whole. Someone once said when you pass, if you can count your true friends on one hand you are beyond lucky, and I even though I did not like the person that lay before me, I know that he once had true friends, including me. I'm a 17 year old girl who has suffered more than any other, beginning to believe that 'Hope' was just another word the people throw around. Until I fell in love with a badboy.

Everything Has Changed
"If you asked me three months ago what heartbreak was, I would tell you it's losing somebody close to you due to unspeakable circumstances. But right now, in this moment, I would say it's you. I would say it's the feeling I got in my chest when I realized I was out of time. When I stood in the rain and yelled for you to stay, but all I saw was your back. I would say heartbreak is lying in bed at two in the morning, watching my ceiling fan go around and around, wondering why you couldn't stop to listen. Two seconds. All I needed was two seconds to say the words. All I needed was to seconds for me to tell you I was in love with you. With everything about you. With the way you move, and the feeling of your arms around me. With the feeling of your chest vibrating as you laugh. Heartbreak is falling in love with everything about you, but having the words permanently stuck in my throat." _____ Gracelyn Levinsky grew up with Daniel Grey. She has always looked to him as a brother, but when she escapes from her abusive Mom and moves to the same town Danny moved to when he was ten, she finds out that he's in love with her. After countless attempts to get her to feel the same, Danny gives up. But when Grace realizes just how much she does love Danny, words can't help her because he shut her out of his life completely. How do you tell somebody who you can't talk to that you're in love with them? Simple. You force them to listen. WARNING: THIS STORY INCLUDES THE VERY ATTRACTIVE DANIEL GREY WHO REMINDS ME AND EVERYONE WITH OVARIES OF A SOFT GOLDEN RETRIEVER PUPPY THAT IS SLEEPING ON YOUR CHEST SO PLEASE BEWARE THAT YOUR OVARIES WILL EXPLODE WHILE READING THIS STORY!

Flying High
What happens when untold feelings are told when it's too late? What will happen if a person ignores their friend and leaves after they poured their heart out to them? This is the story of Dylan O'Brien and Caroline Abernathy. A story which begins from now and then it goes back it time explaining how they slowly fell for each other, it will be described in both of their points of view( Mostly Caroline's thought since Dylan is an actual person and I don't know how he thinks). I'm going to try and be realistic with this story like using a few facts based on my knowledge of things. I know this sound like a classic story where they get married and have kids but it's not how I'm planning it. I don't own anything besides the text so please you can copy anything you want but not the text. Thank you! =]Complete

You can be broken all the same. sequel to forbidden. *Also I wrote this when I was like 14 so excuse the cringe and massive plot holes.* **Dylan is 22 in this story.**Complete
