Death is a part of life- an unavoidable truth that seventeen-year-old Dylan Madden refuses to accept as she watches her grandfather slip away. Anxious and overwhelmed, she shuts herself off from the world, carrying a weight too heavy to share.
Then there's Aiden Hale-eighteen, effortlessly charming, the golden boy of their school, and a baseball prodigy with the world at his feet. Where Dylan is guarded and self-destructive, Aiden is laid-back and impossible to rattle. They couldn't be more different.
Their worlds collide first in the library, then again at the batting cages-where Dylan, true to form, lets him have it. Anyone else would take the hint. Not Aiden.
But as Dylan's carefully built walls start to crack, as time runs out and life as she knows it begins to slip through her fingers, she's forced to face a new, terrifying possibility: foster care.
And maybe-just maybe-Aiden is the one person who won't let her disappear completely.

HOTHEAD
Growing up in a toxic environment, sixteen-year-old Jay Foster has always had psychological problems, coupled with a quick temper. But one night something happens which finally pushes him over the edge, and as a result, he leaves his house the next morning with two things: his mother's gun and a plan.

He harbored a hatred toward his parents, and that hatred extended to almost everyone and everything around him, producing a very troubled and damaged young kid. As Jay enters high school, he becomes very intrigued with one of his classmates. Kind of obsessed, actually. Her name: Mikayla Keeler. Mikayla is very unique, and like Jay, she doesn't seem to fit in with her contemporaries. Instead, the two of them keep each other company, and their friendship very quickly escalates into a romantic and intimate relationship. Despite having Mikayla, Jay's troubles continue to burden him. He and Mikayla are fighting habitually, his home life is still unbearable, and his time at school is hardly any better, made worse by a bully named Calvin. Their mutual dislike of one another leads to a lot of hostility, routinely leading to Jay being sent to his school's principal. One confrontation in particular goes much too far, resulting in Jay's expulsion from school. With everything seemingly piling up, Jay is very close to his breaking point, and late one night he is blindsided by the unthinkable, pushing him much too far and effectively planting in his mind a cruel and horrific plan for revenge.Complete
