"Dear You,"
That's how they all start. Letters i'll never send to people i'll never say these things to.
Old friends. First loves. Almosts. Strangers who meant too much. And the person i loved quietly, hopelessly.
"Me,"
That's how they all end. Because that's all I have left. Me. These letters are what's left behind when the words get stuck in your throat, when the goodbye never happens, when the love doesn't land.
Letters to the Lake is a collection of unsent letters from a 17y/o boy (me unfortunately) who feels everything too deeply and says nothing out loud. It's about the weight of things left unsaid, the pain of growing up, and the quiet courage it takes to love without being loved back.
This isn't a love story. It's a letting go story. A holding on story. A maybe someday story.
If you've ever missed someone who was never yours.
If you've ever wanted to scream into the sky or whisper into the water.
This book is for you.

Too Many Maybe's
I used to think there'd be no living without you. Then, you walked away. Like it was the easiest thing in the world. We finally stopped making sense to you. So, you left. Why wouldn't you. It didn't matter that it still made sense to me. That I still held on to all those what ifs and unanswered questions of us. Still hoped for things to work out somehow. Still needed things to work out. Needed it like food and water. This story might not make much sense to you, reader. It was written for him. And in many ways for myself. But I am grateful for your desire to explore our life's tale non the less. It was quite something. I hope you'll get something out of it.Complete

What We Used To Be | ✔
dear Crystal, I've always loved you, I've always been in love with you even though you never knew. I never got the chance to tell you. I was only gone for 3 months over the summer, why did you stop talking to me, why did you pretend that I didn't exist? Why did we have to stop being friends? sincerely - andrew -- There is a lot of parts, I know. But each part is so short you don't even have to scroll or swipe once for most of the parts. Seriously, this is a super short story despite the parts number. Promise. ^_^ - I'd just like to preface that I made this story in the format that it's in pre 10 million ads Wattpad. It kind of sucks that the parts are so short and you have to sit through so many ads in between. That is assuming more people don't have premium than those that do. I hope you'll still take the time to read my creation anyways. I'd appreciate it more than you'll know. August 2017Complete
To You,
I just wanted to feel as if someone like you exists. You were the only one who cared enough to talk to me. The only one kind enough to try to get me to say more than two words. The only one who cared enough to keep me around, I know that by the time I give you this, you won't know where I am until the end. If you skip it all, if you ignore it, or if you read it before I leave just know that nonetheless, I wanted to say thank you. There's just some things in life, I need to get off my chest and doing this, I feel like I could have someone to tell. I know it's not the same as telling you in person but, to me, this means a hell of a lot more.Complete![You All Over Me [BxB]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/352668111-256-k582165.jpg)
You All Over Me [BxB]
"Sooner or later, you'll fall for me, too." Theodore bursts into laughter. "I don't know where your confidence is coming from." Jacob chuckles and says, "I just know." And then it catches Theodore off guard when Jacob adds, "We should be making out right now." Theodore swallows and looks him in the eye. "We should." "And I should be undressing you at this very moment," he continues, "We could stay up all night with our hands on each other and just... forget everything." ****** Meet Jacob and Theodore, the polar opposites within a tight-knit circle of the most esteemed members of society. Jacob, reserved and hard to read, isn't exactly Theodore's biggest fan-unlike everyone else, who's head over heels for the golden boy. However, as they navigate their way through law school, they trip over a connection that sparks a lowkey romance, catching both of them by surprise.

the first i love you
"The First I Love You" is a story about two boys-Lionel, a percussionist who overthinks everything, and Albern, a clarinetist who's quieter than he lets on-falling for each other between rehearsals, writing class, and late-night calls that last a little too long. It's about lockers and after school meets, inside jokes and unsent messages. It's about how love doesn't always shout-it sometimes whispers, lingers, and waits for the right moment to be heard. Over five months, they go from awkward hellos to honest confessions. And somewhere between September, the month they meet, and Valentine's Day following that, they figure out what it means to say "I love you;" and mean it. [if you're seeing this. yes, i'm making a second book. it's technically part two of this one, but for length and ranking purposes, chapter 32 of this book will be chapter 1 of the second book.]Complete
